What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Amir Fleschwund said:
Before you change the wood, (Always modify the cheaper, or replaceable part) you might try this:
Soak the offending end of the sheath with water. Wrap the knife’s wood handle with cellophane, and insert it into the sheath. Then push a wedge, like a wood shim split down the middle, into it on each - or just one - side between the walnut and leather. When it dries, it will be form fitted.

Brats look good!

Thanks for the suggestion Jeff and the comment on the Brats . The Brats are from a local meat market close to us and we much prefer them over Johnsonville Brats , which are also good . I probably will try the wooden wedge idea in some form but Grohmann did put a chamfer on one side of the edge of the handle and it looks non-symmetrical and I am not a fan of non-symmetrical .
Take care out there today , it is going to get hot .

I'da told the truth:
"NO!!! I do not have A knife in my pocket!!! 😳 I have at least five in my pockets ... plus a couple on my belt (including a pliers based "muli-tool") and around my neck .... 🤣😁👍
Sorry. I don't loan out my knives to "children".
Adults are more likely to leave home without their trousers and unders, than without a knife in their pocket.
At least that is what I was taught before I received my first knife (a 4 blade "Scout" knife) when I was 5. I was also taught how to use it, and even more importantly , how not to use it ... and how to sharpen it.
Since you have no knife, it is obvious you don't know how to use a knife ... you would probably do something stupid, like try to cut with the wrong edge of the blade ... that would make a big mess when (not "if") your fingers land on the floor. 😳🙄🤨.

I'll be happy to cut your meal to bite size, same as I would for any other child. 😁👍"

I don't understand those who refuse to carry a knife, but have no qualms about asking to "borrow" one. 🤔🙄☹️

Heck!! During my time in the workforce, part of the job interview included handing your pocket knife over for examination! You were judged by the condition of your knife!
No knife: You were unprepared, and untrust worthy. You were not offered the job, regardless of your qualifications!
Rusty* or broken blades, or dull blades and blades with excessive slop from prying ... you used the wrong tools for the job, AND did not tke care of your tools. It would be stupid to "think" you would take care of any company tools you used. You were not offered a job.(* a patina was acceptable. "Patina" is not rust or damage.)
No broken blades, blades are all sharp, no excessive slop, has signs of "normal" use, and well cared for: You are reliable, honest,use theright tools, take care of your tools (so are likely to take care of any company toolds you haveto use) you are offered the job, usualy to start either the same day or the next day, (depending on the shift, if applicable.)
NEW knife: Depends on the reason. They did know knives wore out with normal use and proper sharpening.
At one time, a knife had a "life expectancy" of 3 to 5 years of normal use.
(recall: this was before it was "common" to have enough knives to carry one for a consecutive week (or a couple consecutive days), and never carry the same knife twice in a year. 🙄)

Carrying a stag lamb and a knife that followed my home from my recent trip to Wyoming. This Uncle Henry Schrade+ 285UH was my grandpa's. I know little about it (age, etc.), but as he passed away 12 years ago, I know it is at least that old. It's got scratches on the blade indicating he wasn't afraid to use it, so I won't be either. I have a decent number of knives, but this one (and the Old Timer 940t that was his and has been used and sharpened extensively) are now the two most cherished knives in my collection.

All three of my grandpa's knives that I brought home. My youngest son asked for the SAK when we were looking through my grandpa's old garage so it is now his.

Both the Uncle Henry and Old Timer are USA made knives, so they are from 2004 and earlier. Dating Schrades is mostly an exercise in futility. Enjoy them :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::)

I'm sure your Grandpa would be pleased Bob :) :thumbsup:
 
Headed to town in a bit. Bank, Post Office, fuel the truck, and then on to the Wagon Wheel Cafe for a look see at the Burners as they pass through town. We've got two car wash places in town and my niece told me they are very busy with Burners returning home. I'm gonna carry this two-blade, Ebony, Lambfoot while on this journey.

Thanks Jack, I consider myself fortunate to have them, especially with the amount of time that passed between his passing and me finding them still at his house.
