What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thank you kindly, Paul. When I was working, which involved going sketchy places, I carried a Spyderco Police, or Cold Steel Scimitar. One of my clients was the only non-state facility authorized to repair State Trooper’s cars, so I got to know several of them as friends. Even though my knives were technically illegal in Chicago, we always pulled them out to compare. A lot of cops are Knife Guys ~ and because I was a working man, they told me I was smart to be carrying something for self defense. I even bought a Smith & Wesson M19-3 4” duty revolver from one of them whose brother had retired from Chicago PD, and had asked him to sell his revolver. Only a little holster wear for $100. Nobody else wanted it. They all want hi-cap 9mm and .40s now.

When you retire, a long time from now, you will create situations where you get to use your pocket knives regularly. It’s what Knife People do.😃

Well said, my friend. I’m always amazed at people who don’t carry a knife, and there’s a lot of them.

That is great! Really kind of amazing that they were still there after 12 years! They were destined to go to someone who would appreciate them, and get memories of a loved one. 🤙

Thank you much, Bob!
No forced patinas in my knife drawer…
In fact, while different foods really bring on a patina, it also comes with some residue which can cause corrosion. So before bed every night, I check the ones I used, and scrub the residue off with Brasso, and re-oil them. Unfortunately, some of the patina comes off too. But that’s better than rust.

There’s a whole lot of dirty hippies headed right for Alturas, Ed. There might be a line to get into the Wagon Wheel Cafe.

The Voos is looss! 🤙👌
Every time you post yours, I have an urge to copy you.


Classic pattern. Love it.

You’ve just set back the image of Spey Blades, Paul!😆

I always enjoy your bits of knife history, Jack. Thanks for sharing it with us.👌

Good one to label FAVORITE, Alan.

.3” here…hoping for more.

Thanks Jeff, I suppose I’m somewhat of an anomaly in my family in that respect.

Waiting on the ferry to get home as my normal route home over the James River Bridge is backed up for miles.

Really happy with these two. I got into traditional knives late 2019. I broke ground into the hobby early 2020 with the addition of my first real traditional knife, the Northwoods Heritage Jack in OD Green Micarta (still serving me well).

It’s great to be back where it all started for me with this awesome pattern three years and many knives later still enjoying the knives and enjoying this community even more.

It’s going to be a beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! I always tell folks who want to visit the City to come in September or October because that’s when the fog goes away and before the rain starts. Just another lazy day for me. Keeping me company will be the usual lamb and newest addition. Have a great day folks! 😀

Definitely looks like a beautiful day! I’ve visited the City by the Bay 3/4 times, all business trips but had plenty of time to explore and enjoy San Francisco. I haven’t been in a few years but I’d really like to again in the near future with my bride. SF holds a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to go get some Tony's Pizza Napoletana again, a must have every time I’m there. I enjoy strolling around the park near the Church afterwards too 😄

Thank you, Bob. I can only play in this Northwoods game at retail. I’ve been very lucky scoring all my Northwoods on drops and even though I don’t feel like I deserve these two I’m very grateful to have them in my collection. I think you will like Northwoods too and hope to see you score on future drops 😃

Great knife to accompany you, not so great to be at the office all night.

Thanks Jon, it’s my first slim trapper and it’s made me a big fan of the pattern, obvious reasons aside.

Thanks Bob, I’m sure glad to have it and have some connection to family with it. Fine looking Burl covered pair for you today, BTW.
