What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Rufus1949]

A new week, with a new bunch of knives assigned to me by my weekly rotation schedule! Since summer officially begins this week, I'll start by showing off the 2 canoes I'm carrying for the week.
Rough Rider amber jigged bone canoe is the first canoe I ever had in hand/pocket, and I was surprised to learn how much I enjoyed the pattern. This first canoe has led to more than 50 others over the past almost 10 years.

- GT

Quite the collection those canoes must be, gathered together, Gary. Two fine canoes to begin " rowing" through the coming week. Hope it's a good one for you.

What do I want to eat on Father’s Day? Well, if I get to choose anything…

Catfish dinner - collard greens, rice, hush puppies, cornbread, candied yams, and break out the nice rye. Heaven on earth?

My father gave me this scrimshawed souvenir Parker lockback after a trip he made to Hawaii, probably circa 1985 or so. He became so enamored with the islands that he made many more trips there throughout his life, and was ultimately interred there.

I gave this knife to my elder son several years ago to add to his collection. Ironically, he is currently stationed in Hawaii.

Needless to say, this one seemed fitting to tote today.

Happy Fathers Day, all you other dads.

Nice 1912 Peanut, Vince!

Thanks, Gary. "1912" is the serial number. The knife was made in 1990. The wood is cocobolo, I believe. Very nice gift from JohnDF .

I love the way they are using that old stock in France JJ, even today there must be thousands of old blades knocking about in Sheffield - a lot of Joseph Rodgers old stock ended up in the River Sheaf! Thank you my friend, Eric is doing superb work, he is our link to the past I sure hope he doesn't get replaced by Robo-Eric!

A very interesting technique to imbed the past history into a new release. Considering the unrivaled cutlery history of Sheffield, it seems a shame to toss classic blades away Fortunately, robots are only good for gross repetition and lack any discernment inherent in a true artisan

What a fantastic pairing, I'd never noticed the similarity between those two before, and they compliment each other well. Wonderful photography JJ

Thank you very much for your kind words, Jack!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, and have a great Sunday Double Lambsfoot Day for me

Quite an amazing Ebony and Ivory Double Lambsfoot pairing, Jack! I hope you had a very pleasant Sunday with your beauties in tow!

 

[JJ Cahill]

I had a Double Schrade Day for my Sunday totes.

Ha, ha! Thanks kindly, Gary!!!
