What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Clean, oil, and sharpen day for the all-star Bunny. Understand that it’s not (just) the BF connection that I like so much on this one, for me it’s just an all around good, practical knife. Ideal size, useful blades, comfortable shape. Not trying to be fancy, or something it’s not. It just ticks all the right boxes for me. I have many to choose from, and it’s hard to keep it out of my pocket.

This Primble congress is so good, I went back for seconds.

It is the perfect size, shape, snap, everything. The only problem was the one I had is really nice and I felt guilty using it.....

Here is one that has the blade etch mostly worn away, spotty blades and the shield is derpy. Other than that it's just as great as the other one. Now I dont have to worry about it! It's going right into the pocket and staying there!

Sadly, my maroon micarta has a very noticeable blemish on the spine and I can’t decide if I care a whole lot or not at all.

Love that knife. Personally, I like a little ‘evidence’ that I have a hand made, imperfect item!! With use, I would imagine the blemish will ‘soften’ and become less pronounced. Nice knife!!
 
Light work today consisting of spreading fertilizer on the lawn . Had these 2 in my pockets . I am fortunate to feel like I have a lot of "Perfect Pairs " . This happens to be one of them .

Love the Grohmann!! I believe you’ve got the rosewood fixed blade and the stag folder … I’ve got the stag fixed blade and rosewood folder!!! In any configuration, they’re great knives!
 
I woke up today with no plans but within about 10 minutes I decided to drive down to Mount St Helens. I first saw it 31 years ago and was completely blown away(no pun intended) by the utter devastation and the amazing landscape. It was like drawing a line where the lush green forest stopped and lunar landscape began. I try to get down there a couple times a year but don’t think I made it last year.

I had a couple errands to do while leaving town, hitting NAPA for some 2 amp fuses and the post office. At the post office I ran into an old timer that had recently moved here from the East coast. He had never seen Mount St Helens so I offered to take him along, to which he happily went. Weather was almost perfect today with just a little haze from some small fires. Some good scenery was coming up once we broke out of the timber.

The third photo has Mt Adam’s in the distance. One of the first things you come up to is the “Miner’s car”, a 1972 Pontiac that was destroyed in the blast. I’m pretty sure the old timer may have ridden in a similar vintage car or three, if not an identical Pontiac.IMG_0322.jpeg

Not too far up the road you run into Spirit lake. It’s amazing that the trees that were ripped out of the hillside by the blast, avalanche and water coming out of the lake are still floating after 43 years. I took along a Swiss Army knife so thought a photo op was called for.IMG_0310.jpegIMG_0308.jpegIMG_0302.jpeg

We didn’t have to go much father when you finally see the mountain. The old timer was speechless. I eventually got him to pose with my SAK…IMG_0316.jpeg

I figured the Old timer would like a picture next to the Miner’s car, so one more stop on the way out.

And here I was thinking "Man, this old timer he ran into is really trusting - perhaps bordering on naive. Who gets in a car with a stranger at the post office to go out to the woods in 2023?"

🤣

"Ran when parked."

Interesting about the trees still floating In Spirit Lake.
