What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Angry Waiter]

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.

Power combo Jeremy. Very nice knives and thanks for the scenery shot too.

Really hoping this works, first time posting! Carrying my 44 and 14, need to work on my photography skills

Nice knives

Not a bad pic, but yeah, there are some superlative picture takers here. Pics I was quite proud of 3-4 years ago I now look at as, meh
I need a better phone to take better pics

Welcome and keep posting. We're a pretty easy going group for the most part

Work Knife of the Week is a Böker Magnum Scout (thanks, Greg). It's one of my Top Ten in the Work Knife category, and since I carry Top Ten knives from each category every other week, this one officially gets assigned to me every 20 weeks. But I have a very difficult time keeping this one from getting much more than its fair share of pocket time. I usually clip it onto my key ring when I carry it, and it may not come off that key ring for a month or two. It's a great-looking non-SAK scout knife, and I think the rosewood covers are very handsome. And it has a great set of tools. Here are some pics of some of the things the knife has been used for recently.

When we returned home after being away for the first two weeks of August, I used the main blade to cut bunches of grapes off the vines that grow along the alley on the back yard fence. Here's the knife with the grapes after I took them off their bunches and rinsed them:


Our dog has not been feeling well lately and the vet had us stop his kibble and raw vegetable diet and replace it with some kind of "digestive" canned food. I'm not allowed to use our good can opener on dog food cans, and the old one I'm allowed to use is a piece of crap, so I've been opening the dog food cans with the Böker's can opener tool:


The awl on the Böker has an edge on it that I find very efficient in slicing through the perforated cardboard that's supposed to be cut to open beer cartons. The edge on the awl seems more robust than a knife edge, so I don't have to worry about accidentally hitting a bottle, cap, or can while opening the carton:

Legally speaking, does “it’s part of my costume” count as a “good reason” for carrying a knife over 3 inches?

It SHOULD do! Fortunately, the party was only about 10 doors away RELIGIOUS costume, or national dress, is a 'legal reason' to carry however. Old Sikh feller was on my bus the other day, wearing a large Kirpan, in a sling over his shoulder

Yesterday was Eleanor’s first day of school, so I dropped her #71 in my pocket, and because I had no reason to empty my pockets, I still had it with me today, along with my Albers Lambsfoot.

They make for a nice pairing Barrett Hope Eleanor went on ok

Glad today was better for you. The scenery at the ferry terminal on the Jamestown side lends itself well to great picture.

Stunning lineup you have picked out for the week.

Adapt and overcome, looks like you found a way, GT.

My new favorite. View attachment 2311864

Such a great looking 12 — I can see why it’s a new fave.

 

[321Bandaid]

Very true Jeremy. Hope you are having a good one! Today was much smoother.

Every time I see your 44 it makes me realize what a COMPLETE WASTE my "NIT" is. The next time it rains, I'm drowning mine in a mud puddle. It's time to get it over with.

Well it’s simple then. You’re a devout member of the Church of Scorsese.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Great to see those two sweet Sheffield slicers together there JJ

Thank you very much Jack!!!

Ze Germans have landed! Carrying these two inter-war Solingen knives, the Lambsfoot I had in my pocket yesterday, and a Sleeveboard

Your two Teutonic slicers look mighty fine together and make a very handy pair; the Solingen Pen is certainly a very fine specimen, as well!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Two handsome English gents you have there JJ.

Thank you very kindly, Bob!!!

It's a burl kind of day.

Amazing pair of lovely burl covered cutters, Bob; your Coffin Lamb is especially cool!

I grabbed a couple Ebony Pals today.

Great-looking knife Bart

Thanks Jack. It’s a little workhorse!
I love the jigging and tip bolsters on that one you’re carrying today

It's a burl kind of day.View attachment 2311792

Wow to both of those. That coffin is quite a piece of art. As is the wood on the friction folder.

Another good choice!

Thanks David. As you know, it’s pretty handy having a small fixed blade in the pocket. I need to talk to Dave Ferry when I’m looking for my next one.
