What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Dang!!! Thought I was through with doctors for a while but turns out I've got an appointment with my Podiatrist this morning - toenails cut, trimmed, and polished and an x-ray of the ankle joint where they removed a bone to make my new jaw bone when I had cancer in my jaw bone. Oh well, at least my feet will be all sparkly, shiny, and smooth when he's done with me. Oh top of that, I'm fasting for labs - blood and whatever else. I haven't even had coffee this morning let alone sausage and eggs. Not even my round of six daily morning pills. I'll be carrying my Remington mini-trapper (Baby Bullet Trapper). It's a nice one. The jigging is superb.

I hope the appointment goes well Ed and that is one fine knife.

Micarta and Mint Jigged Monday.

Finally tracked down not one but two 59's, so I could pick my favorite cover and trade the other. But, I can't decide - so that means I get to keep them both 😁 😉
I am really blown away by how much I love the 59, I've never wanted more than one cover of the same knife before but here I am 🤷‍♂️

Have a nice day :)
So far so good! Hope you make the most of yours as well. Could you kindly tell me a little more about this lovely and functional looking knife, please?
Hope your week starts off well....
Right back atchya Bob 👋 Mine started great, a fresh splitback sure helps 😁
G'd morning Jeff. Love your seedum, and two very useful knives today. May I enquire about the covers on the Cammy TL? Never seen those before, is it delrin or ?
… as I have expressed before, I am really taken with this Eisenhower penknife (06263; ‘65-‘69).
So much so that I fished a second one out of the ‘Bay (an unplanned acquisition) … note the mis-strike that occurred when attempting to set the pin closest to the right bolster … that little flaw allowed me to pick up this NOS example for a song … unused, unsharpened, and snappy as a little gator … !
I see why you fell for that Paul, love the bone and jigging, and the notched liner ices the cake. Nice seeing you around again lately!
 
Two fine carries Jeremy, that 86 looks like it can handle itself anywhere.👍🏻
Thanks Bob, it definitely punched above its weight. The 86 is one of my favorite frames and this one is a great example. Nice new lamb, BTW.
 
think I will add the SAK Hercules back to the belt carry. I  needed 2 pliers a couple times over the last few days. 🤨🙄

edit: oh yeah ... the Higo 10 and Douk Douk El Baraka are still clipped to belt, but are playing stealthy by hanging in the RFP. 🙂 Only things visible on belt are two lobster clamps, the SAK, (wood handled) SVORD Peasant, and the Leatherman innits camo sheath.
No one will "think" I "crazy" for having 4 knives + multitool on belt. (the two loose in RFP don't print or show, so unless I take one out, they won't know I have 8 cutlery including neck knife and multitool on me. 😁👍

Here’s a Zulu by Jeff Hawkins. I’m finishing up reading Flashman and the Zulus. It concerns the events leading up to the Battle of the Blood River in South Africa. Although this book isn’t part of the original series this author keeps in the spirit of those. It’s an entertaining read and I find it a good way to learn some history. No connection with the knife…just thought I’d mention it. Have a good Monday.

Totin’ two Barlows that bookend the 1970’s. The Appaloosa is 1979 and the Red Sawcut is 1970. I still enjoy some current production Case knives, but I believe 1979 was the end of the golden era.
Golden era for sure if that’s what was coming out. Stunning Barlows!

Back at work with these two today. The 86 is a recent pickup from bigfish64 bigfish64 . Thanks Todd!

A very nice pair!

Putting it that way, maybe I’ll be nicer to Monday’s…

That’s a fine pair of 59’s, FC!
I’d have a hard time choosing as well!
“ … so I could pick my favorite and trade the other …”
Oh the lies we tell ourselves … 🤣🤣
