What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[unclekurty]

Enjoyed a nice walk this morning. It rained some last night and the clouds have really liked hanging around lately. I see some blue coming through the clouds though now.

I think the etch on the bolsters is gaudy, not appealing, grotesque, and just plain ugly.

Sooo ... "perfect" for All Hallows/Halloween, and other "holidays"?

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.

Nice work

Cool pairing Gary

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 ~View attachment 2216164 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?

Thanks Jeff, that's a great choice I have an old Vic, which they called a Farmer's Knife:

They seem to choose some of the names rather randomly though. In 1991, I recall raising this subject, in an article, in relation to the knife, which was then called the Golfer, suggesting they might call it something like the Compact

Good Monday morning! Good day for a heavy duty jack dressed in micarta.View attachment 2216195
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. Tighr and snappy, full blade, but not a nail breaker, makes it a joy to use.View attachment 2216196View attachment 2216194View attachment 2216197
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.

A no-nonsense pair for work Jeff, they look good together Thanks buddy, hope you have a good week

Once I flipped pic , I could see how nicely the design flows from butt to tip. Very nice Kurt.

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.

Thanks! They were a Christmas gift for my wife couple of years back. She had seen some on Pinterest that were cut out of a one by four and kept two dimensional and then painted pastel colors. She asked for some and I gave her these six and asked what color she wanted me to paint them. Thankfully, she just wanted them natural!

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

This beautiful knife was kindly gifted to me a few years ago in a Gaw from Jeff black mamba . I love this knife and I will never part with it .

 

[OldHercDude]

Gordon, I hope all will be well within your family.
That is an all star line up for the week. You and Bart/ sacto have convinced me to put a boker in my pocket.
Be well,
Bob

Giant Mouse and a Pinched Peanut for Monday.

 

[OldHercDude]

Waiting around (again) for a package that was supposed to have delivered Friday. So nothing much planned for today's pocket cutter other than maybe opening a box later today. This is one of the two Boker Barlows I dropped a couple months ago. This one had some scratches all over the bolsters, slowly polished them out so it's now nice and shiny and smooth again. have to rebuild the patina. other one with a couple dents/ gouges with be shown later in the week.

A #56 tribute to a fellow knife collector, Rob Slaney sadly passed away in March this year, the #56 was his favourite of all the GEC's and our UK based knife club was fortunate enough to have this run done in dyed camel bone, everyone unique, just like Rob!
A massive THANK YOU to Darren Spratt, our club founder, everyone at Great Eastern Cutlery and to Charlie Campagna for the use of the "Rob's Choice" tag.
R.I.P my friend!

The rendezvous pick ups are entering the carrying rotation. First up is the 77 SFA in antique yellow jigged bone. Picture taken at the Oil Creek State Park just south of Titusville.

Happy Monday (if there is such thing). Hard to beat a lamb and a Barlow.

Took this picture this morning while I was sitting on my deck having my coffee, in jeans and a hoodie! I would’ve started a fire but everything is still pretty wet from the rain Sunday morning. Hope everyone is having a great day.
