What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Taking my cue from Leslie Tomville and decided to root out the GEC 15 in stainless. Not only superb finish on these but some very nice deep jigging in a kind of Winterbottom style. Week-end beckons

 

[Scholefield123]

Lucky you are to have that It's the Forum Knife I really regret missing out on- and not due to my incompetence or lack of cash either, but a Forum admin error You have some other nice examples too, the 13 is a very unusual one and I'm very glad to have it.

Thanks, Will

I have been very lucky to find most of the BF knives over the years , not easy to come by these days , and they fetch a hefty price tag Missing one to complete the set , abs hopefully will get one from this year too .

 

[Will Power]

S Scholefield123 Good to hear. Care to mention which one you're missing? You never know....

 

[Corto_Malt]

Corto_Malt Such riches Yann The polished Stag looks super, better than Warthog - wonderful examples

Thanks, Will

Thanks Will.
I've never had a warthog I wouldn't know.
Bellon is brighter while Callejon has a more natural look.

Stallion and a Rodgers Two blade Lamb

Great combo Steve

Thank you kindly, Jack!!! One Lamb is excellent, but two is amazing

You have a real pair of Aces for your Friday picks; it's also quite a pleasure to see your wonderful TA Davidson Shadow, as well!

Many thanks my friend

That Davison is always a great choice, Jack




Thanks guys. It’s weird to me the number of times he can fall skateboarding and be fine and then the one that hurts him was at the climbing gym and he doesn’t remember it hurting at the time.

Thanks a lot Bart My injuries seem to come from very mundane causes, as I get older. I hurt my shoulder in a freak accident wrestling with a can of kidney beans! Had to take a trip to the hospital with Wee Staggy first thing this morning!

Headed out again this morning

It's gonna be a goof off day at home today. Maybe fiddle with our garden tractor. Just got it back yesterday with a new Briggs and Stratton engine in it. Gonna stick with the Case capped jack today. Sausage and pancakes for breakfast.

The garden tractor is quite capable. It moved these two piles of gravel without effort. It also has a grader blade that I use to maintain our driveways and back road.

Sold the old Ford tractor a while back. Came in handy to put our place in and put in the back road but way too much more than we need now.

Happy NED! (New Engine Day)…
I’d have had a hard time unloading that Ford. I had a sweet old Simplicity garden tractor that came with a blade. I used to use it to plow snow off my gravel driveway. Unfortunately, when I hit an uneven spot that caught the blade, the force of it broke one of the gears in the transmission. I managed to repair the tranny myself, but never used it to plow after that. It just wasn’t heavy duty enough for that.
So you’d better go easy on that machine, my friend

Just recently acquired a few of my grandfathers pocket knives. This one was one of his most carried and used.

What a great inheritance!
I too am blessed to have some of Grandpa’s knives, tools, and fishing tackle, and think fond thoughts every time I use them.

Another fine example of the BF knives that have been produced by this group , can’t wait for this years offering View attachment 2298885

I was asleep at the wheel when it came to the Traditional forum when I could have gotten in on the earlier BF knives.
I carried a lot of Spydercos and Cold Steel knives during the 90’s and early 2000’s and a cheap Buck lock failed while cutting field tile underwater. Sand and mud got in it keeping it from fully locking, and it closed on the back of my fingers. I switched to slipjoints after that, and used a fixed blade for repairing field tiles.

Two #15s today. Hope to be on the water before daylight tomorrow.

Nice knives, and Ambassadeur!

Friday favorites. Apparently the local rodent population has been enjoying my stump as well, nice and cool on the North side of my tall house.

Keep those rodents out of the house, Frederick! It’s a constant battle here

That fixed blade is gorgeous. What kind of wood is that?

Love it
Looks like a Sunday Go To Meetin’ dress-up knife.

The uncommon Acorn shield means these GEC knives have stainless steel blades. They are hard to find but very useful when you do.

I didn’t know that about the acorn/stainless. Wise choice for your Louisiana heat and humidity
You may notice I am totin’ the GEC Electrician you kindly gave me day aftef day. I’m really bonding with it, my friend! It’s a great one!

Got out All of Tools For the Day and ended up using every one of them :

Even these :

The heat wave broke, and got you out of the house! The patina shows you’ve been putting the Barlow to work
We were under a T’Storm watch Thursday evening, and I saw lightning, but it swung north, and missed us. Looked like maybe you were blessed with some rain?

Love the stitching on your pocket sheath. Nice craftsmanship.

It looks like you’re thinking of a hunting trip?

Used my mobile DMT sharpening system for todays carry.View attachment 2299460

Did that knife start out as a Lambsfoot?

Fine old German pocket knife, Rachel!

Great combo Steve

Many thanks my friend

Oh man. Defeated by a can of kidney beans!
Probably wise to not open the knife in the hospital.

It’s amazing what some people consider “sharpening”, isn’t it? Part of the deal when looking for vintage knives.

Never ending chores to do today and will carry this Utica made Klein TL-29. Hash for breakfast.

Nice Klein. I was going to ask how you knew it was made by Utica until I saw the KK. I think the several Kleins in my cigar box were made by Camillus, but they’re not marked.
