What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Pocket Carry:
A "newby" has been added to the appropriate pocket. However, the key for it (on a chain so it is not lost) is in the Maine RFP 😁👍
View attachment 2271557
828318 Dixie Stockman and Case 62131CV are the "in pocket" knives.
The newbe is a 1885 Elgin H.H. Taylor (15 j) key wind & key set, housed in a coin silver case. It runs great and keeps accurate tyme.

Belt carry has a "slight" change. The SVORD Peasant, SAK Hercules, and Hionokami 10 have been transfered to the rollator and clipped to the basket. Only the LM and Douk-Douk remain on the belt.
It is tempting to move the LM to the rollator, and put a Buck 110 back on my belt ... Maybe next week ....

No change for neck knife.

Jeff, my limited knowledge is based on Goins' Cutlery Markings.🫣View attachment 2270659View attachment 2270660
I doubt your knowledge is lacking, Bob.
From my limited, and often wrong knowledge, I think the steel liners indicate it was made during WWII, when copper and one of it’s alloys, brass, were being rationed for wiring, cartridge casings, and copper projectile cladding. Camillus used brass for liners before and after the war.
Here are the steel liners on the four liner TL-29 you inspired me to carry today.158A77C4-E91F-414C-8701-DED2D0B31D12.jpeg

Trivia ~ before the Tool Linesman, pattern 29 nomenclature, they were called SC for Signal Corp, which I think was the first .mil group to get this knife. SC are quite rare.

I shall drink your good health kind sir :)

I'm busy here at Grumble Towers, the ferrets need to be scrubbed, the whippets smartened up, me best clogs polished, and my flat-cap ironed. For tomorrow is Yorkshire Day ! :thumbsup:

I appreciate your drinking to my good health, my friend! I can sure use it, like all of us “maturing” folks. But please don’t blame tomorrow’s headache on me.😁
I’m sure proper YD celebrating requires polished clogs, but I don’t believe you on scrubbing your ferrets. My Granddaughter has one of those, and while it is quite stinky, good luck holding that down for a scrubbing! And ironing your flat cap?!? No!

Since it’s near supper time in Merry Olde Yorkshire, please order a large water, and eat something!
Haven’t felt the urge to turn one one of my GEC’s into a user in a while. Hopefully that changes soon

In the meantime these two will do

I haven’t had the urge NOT to use my GECs, as limited as they are.
Frome the patinas, I’d say cutting apples for your dog qualifies as “Users”! 😎
 
So Tyson, Tyson A Wright Tyson A Wright - how's it coming with that Amber Jigged Bone Sod Buster Jr.? and where the heck have you been? Inquiring minds want to know. Hope you've got the knife sorted to your liking.
Hi Ed! I've been super-busy with life the last several months, and just haven't been able to hang around The Porch as much as I'd like. That Sod Buster Jr. ended up being the only knife I carried until last week - for a vacation at the ocean, I decided my stainless Amber jigged bone Case trapper was a better choice. Since I got back, I've been carrying my HHB, getting psyched up for Yorkshire Day (which is today)! I'll be working on a chip butty for lunch, for sure.

For most of July:

Happy Yorkshire Day to those who celebrate it! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:
Some of my carries this week are coincidentally related (however nearly or distantly) to Yorkshire.
Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is Cracker Jack, my Ashleys' Choice stag lambsfoot, a Jack Black SFO:

Work Knife of the Week is a SAK clone, a Chinese brand named Sheffield after a city in Yorkshire:

My Lambsfoot of the Week is Union Jack, a rosewood lambsfoot my wife and daughter bought me in Barnitt's hardware store in Leeds, another Yorkshire city:

Superb pairing Joshua, the jigging on your Rhidian is hypnotic! :cool: :thumbsup:
Spring and summer have been super busy here. Recommitting to post a decent, interesting, or last minute photo of my daily carry to this thread.

I do have some familiarity with ferrets, but I'm not sure they smell much better after a dunking! :D I'm afraid I didn't do any of those things, but I did put my cap on my head, and walked to the pub on both my feet! ;) Chip butty for lunch, pie for tea, and a pint along the way ;) :thumbsup:

A lot of great information Jeff...I thank you kindly.👍🏻Thanks for sharing.
Do not want to spread misinformation.
