What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

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

That's good to hear Bart Thank you my friend, I do like tip bolsters

 

[knarfeng]

Still making friends with the small tinker.

 

[Rufus1949]

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

Thanks kindly Bart.
I highly recommend Dave's knives.

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.

A small fixed blade sure is handy. Dave Ferry knives fit my needs and look good also.

Very nice Jon!

Thanks Pete! Great lineup you have as well .

Kept it simple today.

Can’t go wrong with a solo. Handy blade for sure .

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.

Ha! You’ve got some nice ones that would love some quality time with a good apple/strawberry/baked potato/juicy steak if you deem them worthy of “not so new in tube” status.

What a great line up Pete.

Thanks Bob.

Please tell me about "Friday" (assuming Victorinox = Monday).

It’s a lambfoot from K’roo. Red dyed kudu bone. There is a thread here that has quite a few of his knives if you are interested.

Good morning all, the heat wave the Midwest had, is finally going to pass us on the east coast!
More burl.

International Knife of the Week is a linerlock Mikov anchor knife from Czech Republic (thanks, Tom):


Locking Knife of the Week could have also been that same Mikov, but it's not. That honor this week goes to a big wooden Rough Ryder lockback work knife:

Too bad I can't find a closed pic from before I filed the kick of my $10 Boker from a couple weeks ago.

Now the back of the pen just clears the main nail nick, and the chip off the pen is below the liner, with plenty of kick to spare.

Today’s pocket dump brought to you by GEC, a cheap Timex, sbh06 leather, my 11 yr old son’s paracord handiwork, and the color OD green.

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.

Your words made me reflect for a minute, Joey. Times have changed…
I got into traditional knives because in the ‘60s and ‘70s that’s all there was. Sabre fish knife, Imperial Cub and Boy Scout knives, Imperial sheath knife, and after lawn mowing money, and early part-time jobs, Camillus and Schrades.
Diverted to “modern” pocket knives with pocket clips, thumb studs, and “tactical” blades for some years, before coming home to trad knives.

Started cheap, and saved up for a fancy one once in a while. You started with the high end knives right off the bat!

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

Yes, it worked. Nice first post, and knives! Welcome to the best little corner of BF.

Freshly returned from her pilgrimage to Titusville, PA; Old Mother Hubbard - feeling rejuvenated and revived courtesy of the expert care of the great and gracious Ken Daniels; celebrates with much-needed pocket time and arboreal escapades.

Beautiful scales! What did you send it in for?

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

I’ll tell you what. Send me your best knives, and I will try to take nice pictures of them,

Happy to help.

Ooh! Unrealized potential ~ a virgin chunk of wood awaits…

Share progress photos. I always enjoy seeing your work.

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:

First, I hope your dog perks up.
And your post inadverdantly argues against having a knife rotation schedule!

Great knife, and I am happy to see you finding everyday uses for it!

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

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

Fine-looking pair Steve

Don’t pay attention to the knife you can see on Mr. Sikh. It’s the stabby one hidden in his turban that will get you!

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.

I know you’re joking, but I have to avoid comparing my users with the knives shown here.

#342 Bunny Knife again, and a WWII era PAL TL-29 with worn bone, and steel liners.
Made on the Remington tooling that they sold to PAL Blade Co. so they could meet the govt. contracts for brass cartridge casings.
And sitting on top of my steel cut oats with blueberries, or as my granddaughters used to say, “bluebies”, my Klein folder.
Please have a fine day, my porch friends!

Timex watches are my mainstay. Not worried if I scratch them. Paracord work looks great.

The fog is back today in the City by the Bay! It’s going to be a great one as I’ve just received two OFD notifications from the USPS. More on that later. Keeping me company until Postie Mike shows up will be the usual lamb and with a nod to thrifty Thursday a Boker Atlas.
