What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Crappie71 It's going to look sensational when fully patinated, most light colour knives do. I certainly prefer it to the Forum Knife option

I'm also interested by Jiki 's observations, do the scales have a textured feel or is it just visual?

Thanks, Will

I have a 62 in Unicorn and it feels smooth. I really like it visually. Very classy looking to me

I agree with you on the patina and the Bladeforums option. Not to hijack your question for Jiki, but I do believe it is textured because it’s called Texcrylic.

What’s your impression of your #34?

I like it, nice and thin in the pocket yet not too small in the hand. I just made a bowl of chicken salad with it for dinner. Slicing an apple, chopping some nuts, and dicing up the chicken- no sweat. In this configuration it will probably be a secondary carry for me complementing another knife. Now if Mr Howard would like to make a full congress or a whittler on this frame? That could be something.

Will Power the texture feels like a pocket worn jigging. This approach feels appropriate, sharp edged platic could be bad.

Yeah I thought about a whittler too.

Place two fingers on the screen, and slide them apart to zoom in on the photo…
That’s zoom worthy

Fine examples, does one appeal most to you?

Thanks, Will

I know you were not addressing me, Will, but I will interject to say that I have three out of the pictured seven. And one of the three is very hard for me to put away. But I won’t divulge which one that is.

I have always thought those Anvils, with their distinctive scales were great looking knives.

Added a new lanyard and bead to the 47 to try out. The bead was a generous gift from @ephsea - an add on to our 44 deal. Thanks again! I’m liking it with the @sbh06 slip - that is developing a mighty fine patina IMO.

Burlap and brass strikes again!!

P.S. A better bead does not exist for that knife. I dig it!

Thanks Jeff. Those wide covers on the Anvil sure feel good in hand for those of us with old hands that arent as flexible as they once were.

Putting a new one into rotation today. A David Taber (DrT) Rabbit with E ivory. Picked up three of these recently (one being a lock back) and thought one at least needed to be carried. LOL. Using a slip by Sarah at Soulboundleather to keep it protected in the pocket. I like this combo alot.

Proof that, when done right, simplicity can be absolutely stunning all on its own.

Forgot I had this one!
She ain't no 86, but she's not half bad.
Don't judge me.

I don't get it, but I like it! Haha

Now Googling: "what sf said"

UPDATE: That's good stuff!!
