What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[TXGatorbait]

You could not have found a better setting to show off that fine stockman.

Thank you, Bob

Love the bone on the stockman Greg. Great photo!

Thanks Jon. It’s been hard to kick this one out of the rotation lately

Been several decades since I last saw a metal fuel can. Pairs nicely with your stockman.

Thank you, my friend

Little Tommi-puukko in my pocket while shooting stumps. I recently got back in to traditional archery. Made the quiver myself of heavy cotton canvas. Have to work on my stitching, but at least this works, I lined the opening inside with sheepskin to cut the rattle and keep the arrows in place. The bow is a Samick Sage clone, Black Sheep Nova (64 inches long), with a nicer fit and finish than Samick, the corners are more rounded and the the riser is more slender.

Here’s one from Bruce Barnett for Mammoth Monday…

 

[RLB0414]

Cold, dank, and drizzly, with the added insult of a paltry .2” of rain.
It was time to remove the scapes from the garlic plants, and the Army surplus boonie hat that I coated with Otter Wax, and the German stag hawkbill in stainless ( kindly given me by JonMcD ) got put to work.

A LOT of commercial growers are oblivious about knives, and would use scissors for this, but I’m a knife guy, right?

Since a miserly fifth of an inch of rain is simply not enough, I became that guy. The guy standing out there on a wet day watering.

By the time I’d given tha garden a deep soaking, and the chicken legs were ready to come off the grill, I was quite chilled, since it had dropped into the low fifties(f.)

So here it is, the twelfth of June, and I needed a good fire. View attachment 2215841

I know what you about little amount of rain. We, in here in SE Michigan were predicted a couple of days of rain. Instead just a few hours worth. Now it is low 50's, windy and damp. Nothing wrong with a nice fire regardless of the time of year.

I love looking at all of these different knives; some used hard, some obviously used regularly and some that are just as obviously treated very carefully when carried. I kike them all. Mine aren't all shiny like some of these shown but they're mine and I like them.

Today I am carrying my Pemberton

Great photos, Ellis. Stunning sky! An entire garden cart load of fresh red snapper? Oh boy!

,,, a Vic Farmer

I love seeing any of Charlie’s SFOs. The LF is Awesome. But Victorinox puzzles me when it comes to naming. Calling your model the Farmer is totally appropriate, and as an appropeiate name should, it evokes images of the many ways an actual farmer might use it.
A year or so ago, I decided to buy a new Alox SAK. I went directly to their website, and tried to choose, looking for one that did not exactly duplicate any of my red cellidor Vic and Wenger knives, and particularly, one that would take care of anything that comes up in the garden. The Farmer was a close contender, as was the Pioneer ~ regular and X models. I went back and forth over scissors vs woodsaw…
I settled on this one ~ It was the hawkbill that sold me.
What I found weird though, was that it seemed like Vic was asleep at the wheel in the naming department. They simply named it the “7”. Meaning it had 7 functions.
We appropriately call it the Harvester, of course, but at least when I was on their official site, they did not. Is this a case of popular crowd sourcing in naming?

It rained for hours here, at about three drops per minute. This will be tree-watering day.
Nice fire.

Yep. I will put a hose on trickle under my Serviceberry. It’s showing signs of drought stress.

Great hobby, especially without the wheels, cables, and fancy optics. I need to get my bows out!

Have a nice day

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Good Monday morning! Good day for a heavy duty jack dressed in micarta.
And whenever the earth makes one axial rotation, that’s a good time to tote a TL-29. In this case, a four line tang stamped Camillus in well aged cocoblo. One side is ebony dark, the pile side, milk chocolate brown. Tight and snappy, full blade, but not a nail breaker, makes it a joy to use.
I hope that family issues, sprained ankles, work, falls, assorted doctor and dentist visits, and all of life’s piccadillos do not stop us from remembering how good we have it, and deciding to have a fine day.

I think Victorinox renamed some of their knives. The Solo is now called the Army 1.

Garden is looking great this season Jeff!

Been dealing with family issues, not going to try and catch up to the number of pages I've missed. Anywhos, hope everyone has a great week.

This weeks things and stuff.

Good to see your great knives on display Gordon. I always love to see the Boker crew.

Let the week begin. I hope rain falls where needed, people stay upright and fish are landed in abundance.View attachment 2216023

This is a spicy pairing

The burnt bark is on the easy open Jon. Someone did a great job on chick's. I like the unfinished form...gives the imagination room to play.

A cloudy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Looks like it will clear up later. Having new windows installed on the top floor bedroom and office. Dang good windows are not cheap! The old ones were leaking so it needed to be done. Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and SAK Executive. Have a great week folks!

This one is truly a beautiful example.

Who is making and / carrying (I want one) these Queen D2 folders? They don't look like the Old Mountain stuff from China.

For the last three years, we've cut back on watering the yards because our aquifer that feeds our well has been depleted quite a bit but this year we've had so much rain that the aquifer has been replenished and then some. According to our airport on the outskirts of town we've had eight inches plus of rain over the last week. Just for the heck of it, I'll carry this 440C stainless GEC today. I'd think it would be impervious to most anything what with it's stainless blade and micarta covers. By the way. I think the etch on the bolsters is gaudy, not appealing, grotesque, and just plain ugly. I've been thinking about grinding the bolster etch out or maybe just covering it with painters tape. Eggs up and sausage for breakfast.
