What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Got to Likely yesterday only to find the General Store closed. Oh well, no grape soda but we took the back road back to Alturas and ate lunch in of all places the Wagon Wheel Cafe. Still carrying the Rosewood two-blade Lambfoot today. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

My inner self just said, “don’t even think about trying to fold any of those tiny birds. Your brain nor your hands were made to do things like that.”



That Waboom knife just cut me through my web browser. It’s really sharp! And stunning!

Stunning pair Jon!

There is zero chance I could fold those 😆. They were given to me by a coworker that had to make hundreds of them (normal sized) for his wedding. Needless to say he became an expert…
 
I'm going out in the yard. Better up the knives.

Love that Horsewright, I'm going to have to order one next time I'm feeling flush. Did you have a sheath made with it, and if so may we see it sometime?

I always love seeing your fixed/folder combos. It’s funny they have to warn you that you will encounter natural surfaces on a hike. Hope you avoided the byproduct of those rocks 😁

Why thank you Bart! Always enjoy seeing what you're carrying/up to as well. Glad to see you picked up a Krein (is that a tk-1 or -11?). Those seem especially adept at slicing open feed bags, which I suspect is a big part of your working life?
I probably did step in a lot of rock droppings, but that sort of thing has never bothered me. If you think about it, dirt is made from two things - poop and dead stuff. I didn't candy coat the soil generation process when I explained it to my kid, I feel like they softballed that one to us in grade school science.

You too Jon, hope it's as good as your pair of GEC's today. That 33 is especially fine 😄

Moran Micarta Monday. If I dug up a Micarta handled Bill Moran fixed blade(did he make any w/ micarta scales), it would be an even More Moran Micarta Monday...
Hope everyone's day is better than my jokes! 😅

Out the front door to put a letter in the mailbox. I got distracted by the bee ~ both Bumble and Honey ~ activity on the Lambs Ear flowers. Maybe it’s because each blossom is so small, or maybe it’s because they are just very busy bees, but I had a hard time catching this guy in a photo.View attachment 2247218
Down at the mailbox, what do i see but two Japanese Beetles doing something nasty in a Hollyhock flower. View attachment 2247217I was glad they were not on my beans.
Speaking of beans, View attachment 2247221
This is a Kane County Flea Market find, which was marked $10, and the good ol boy took $6. It was extremely filthy, caked with dried grease, but I could just make out the “…llus”.
After scrubbing and flushing, and rubbing, and dying the faded bone, it revealed itself to be a Short Line Tang Stamp, meaning late 1940’s model 68. The spiral awl, and the spey snap just like new. The main shows its’ age, and needs a little help. From taking apart other old Camilluses with weak snap, I’m pretty sure the camming surface on the blade is worn. I believe the spring is tempered a little harder than the blade steel. But it doesn’t bother me. It stays safely open when I use it.
How ‘bout termaters?View attachment 2247219
I am totin my gift knife from Leslie Tomville Leslie Tomville , a Tidiute Cutlery Titusville, Pa. 53E323 Johnny On The Spot Electrician by Great Easter Cutlery. I think I got all the tang stamps and blade etches in case you are detail oriented. In case there was more, I opened the sheepfoot blade on the pile side ~ identical stamp as the other, which makes sense.
Last night, before bed, I pulled these out of the knife safe (cigar boxes in a dresser drawer), checked that the edges were very sharp, and oiled the joints…
When I closed the big blade from half stop, I got a big grin. It has perhaps the best closing Talk of all my knives ~ that metallic CLACK with an undertone of a ringing tone. Like a New Old Stock Cattaraugus.
So I said to Mrs. Fleschwund, who was already in bed, “listen to this, Vik”. She said “That’s nice dear, now let’s turn off the lights”.
