What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

In the afternoon I went to one of the best museums in the world.

So much to see I visit every so often.

Laurence of Arabias robes and Oliver Cromwell's watch are favourites of mine.

Quite a few knives for you to enjoy in the photos including flint.

They have put out armchairs in some places which I like a lot, these two where like something in a David Lynch film,I had a snooze here. 😇

Those flint knives are spectacular! I love artifact hunting and luckily live in an area where there are flint deposits reasonably close that have an incredible array of beautiful colors of high quality material.
Here’s a large ovoid knife I found recently
And a tiny red and white beauty I found in a cotton field.
And one more a large white chert knife. Looks like a poor quality stone but rings like a crystal glass.

Great post, Fred!
I agree with thinking about maybe a half of a steer in the freezer. But I don’t think Bart would take any of my users in trade.

You’ve got plenty of users I’d love to have, Jeff. We actually just got half a dozen steers back from the butcher but they’re all spoken for. I don’t think I have enough ice packs to ship half a steer anyway. 😁

Same Eagle Jack, and Camillus 68 ~ hard to put these two away.

Okay,apologies in advance. Not trying to divert from the Totin theme, but i have some photos of the garden…
At least you know my knives are not safe queens.
First thing this morning, I took out the big jack, and chopped down the basil which was thriving in the sandy gravel by the front walk. Vik the Designer complained that talk stuff should be in back. It was time anyway, they would have begun to bolt soon. Hung up to dry…

So despite us eating tomatoes every day, they are now ripening en masse, and I cannot keep up. Some, like bushels full of cherry maters are getting shared.View attachment 2305714

Really impressive tomato crop, Jeff. Cool that you grow so many different varieties.

Thanks Bob. Everything went smoothly in Oregon. Too bad I didn’t have time to fish the bass pond in the picture yesterday.

I saw that news story. It might take a while one at a time. I actually have a longhorn steer named Sparky that I halter broke years ago. I’ve never tried to put him I my truck though. I’ll see if I have a picture of him.

Not up to par with most of the knives I see posted here, but I added (and carried) a Case CV Mini Copperlock in mahogany bone today.
My OCD hasn't accepted it yet, but there's some burgundy in there.
Makes for a decent transition piece, I think? TBD.

The “par” you’re referring to is all perspective. Yes there is a lot of eye candy posted here. But there are a lot of solid, everyday, working class knives, both fancy and just practical that are carried and used everyday. I think the knives you posted are a solid representation of that…👍
