What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thanks Jack. 😎👍

Very nice pairing Jack. That walnut is beautiful. 😎👍
Thanks mate, I wish I had reason to carry it more often :) :thumbsup:
"Truth over Ego" makes a great motto. 👍

I'm inspired to carry my Voos today. It's another knife that required a little reshaping of blades.

I think my knife toting theme this week is to read this thread while drinking my first coffee, see a post with a cool knife and remembering "Hey, I have one of those! I'll carry it today!" 😃
I bet it sounds good in Latin (though, of course, 'ego' is a little different, so perhaps not!) :D Nice Voos Rachel :thumbsup:
 
First leg of family vacation, Post Falls ID.

Hope it’s a memorable family vacation, Kurt.
As my old boss used to holler as I pulled out with my propane hauler, “KEEP ‘ER RUBBER SIDE DOWN!”.
Nice NF, Greg! One to keep clean for food, and one to use on stuff?
Thanks, guys!

I think Mr.Voos would approve! Nice work.

I usually poke through the cigar boxes in the evening for tomorrow’s totes, (after cleaning, oiling, and sharpening today’s). Then, I do the same as you ~ scroll BF with my coffee, in the morning, and waffle after seeing y’all’s knives.
Nice. Old Engineer Old Engineer let me coon finger his Arlo B,, and I found it so nice that I’d be afraid to use it!
This Buck 703 Bronco/Colt? is another knife my father took home from working in Greenland. The main blade is a bit loose and I would like to hear what any of you fine gentlemen would do to fix that, is it just at few light taps on the bolster like any other slipjoint? Also is it Bronco or Colt and what’s the difference?

It’s a Colt! Thanks @redsparrow for clearing that up👍

Great legacy having your Dad’s knives. Use @screened porch’s method, and use it!
One hint ~ polish the face of your ball pein hammer (I use a belt sander), because any divots or other marks on the hammer will transfer to the bolster.

By the way ~ I dug your Dad’s TL-29! Now that’s good knife!
It’s funny, my Father in Law served in the USAF as an electrician, and after discharge, had a long career working on communication equipment. He’d never seen a TL-29 until I showed him one of mine.
Found this one in bad shape at an antique shop.

Minor wear on the big blade but no broken tips. Cleaned her up, it had MASSIVE amounts of pocket lint, to the point the blades did not want to fully open.

Removed some bad engraving on the shield as well.

Nice find, and nice job. You need to show us the blades! What’s the make and model?
Bigger strings just means bigger calluses, right? 🤣 A bass playing pastor, that is fantastic!! 👍

GECs red micarta is my favorite. Great pickup, Jeremy!

Glad it was mostly good Paul. Hope that trend continues (or improves) in November. Good looking 29 and SAK pair with you today.
As a six string player, there’s nothing better than having a good bass player holding things together! I played in my old church for over 20 years, mostly solo. One of the kids went to a Christian college majoring in bass, and was a scary good bassist. Unfortunately, he moved to New York. Was also in another band with a good bass player, but the covid shutdowns put an end to that venture☹️.
I have a 703 that I bought 40-some years ago. I carried & used it alot, and mine's still tight. The scale on one side developed a crack, and I didn't want it to fall off, so I retired it. I'm pretty sure Buck called it the Colt, but I may be mistaken.
Edit: Oops! Redsparrow beat me to it by a long shot!

Maybe get the thin grade of Super Glue and seep it into that crack?
 
Thanks, guys!

Well Rachell, it seems like your system is working. Very nice.

Or how about ~ Da mihi bubulae frustrum assae; Give me a hamburger.

Ahh, country living!
Where are you, if I may ask? You have a stunning view. 👍🏻

If you fish in the ‘bay for that pattern, you run across some that previous owners have tried to grind the screwdriver blade into something else. I’ve bought a couple or three of those and reshaped them into small sheepfoot blades. Fun mod with a clean conscience since it’s no longer original. And cheap to buy!
Didn't need them, but were in my pocket, when I went from golf course to lawnmower.View attachment 2218558
Hope you made a killing on the links, Bob!

How’s the NJ air quality?
 
Photo from last evening. I worked in the garden, in the rain, all day. It was glorious. Predicted about .2”, but a heavier shower that lasted 20 or 30 minutes brought that up to .7”. Woo Hoo! 🙌6C9FF50E-EF3D-4107-A8DC-C7D0CA8B8EFB.jpeg
I’ve become enamoured wifh the Canadian Belt Knife. Big enough, very stout, yet dicreet enough on my belt for bumbling around in public. If I think someone could be triggered by seeing a knife, I can stick the dangler sheath into my pocket.

Couple of Jacks. Camillus and GEC Forum Knife.
The Hollyhocks by my mailbox are reaching for ths sky. Last year, they got 7 or 8 feet tall. When they bloom, and they bloom for a long time, they are stunning.
I harvest the seeds for next year.344989BC-1781-49CA-A860-C4566D76771B.jpeg7DD6A0AB-5EFB-4A55-B76B-F0F5DE3E6558.jpeg
Enjoy the day!

I can breath again Jeff, thanks for asking. If I were in North Jersey I could rarely say that.
Not a bad day, Money in the K'roo bank.🤣

Thanks for the tip! My last year of being a carpenter i had used the TL-29 almost everyday from small prying, scraping and other odd jobs. It’s an extremely useful tool when you’re in a tight spot.
