What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Two Schrades, both special because they were gifts from Porchsters😃View attachment 2329305View attachment 2329306
Nothing ever happens 🤞, but the Buck 119 is always there, tucked in by the driver’s seat.
And since @Modoc ED confessed to totin a Spyderco for a doctor visit, I’ll admit there might be a Soyderco Police, and an old S&W model 38 Airweight Bodyguard in .38 Special in the car, too.
Nothing wrong with being prepared.
You guys need to come visit. I’ll take you to the Illinois Railway Museum! If you’re into trains, it’s pure heaven. They even have an old spur that runs about seven miles out into the corn and beans, and give rides on old steam engines.
Mike, they are always accepting experienced volunteers! You do have an engineer’s cap, right?View attachment 2329384

Your wife and I would get along.
When I was a kid, Grandpa always planted zinnias, and I carry that on in his memory. View attachment 2329352View attachment 2329354View attachment 2329355
The ones at the ends of my tomato and bean rows really dig the manure and compost, and are 5 and 6 feet tall.
And you’re right ~ the hummingbirds and butterflys like them.
That’s a fine everyday choice, Rick. Belt, or pocket carry?
I am not a huge train buff. More one that wants to see "off the beaten path" locations. Tracks do not always follow roads. The different routes are what interests me.
It is belt carried Jeff. As a youngster I worn out right rear jean pockets carrying these. Plus on the belt no pressure applied to hip joints.
 
Today, I was waiting on a package to be delivered. Received notification the postie, borrowing the British term, put the package on my porch. To my surprise there were two packages.
In the unexpected package were

Jeff, Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund thank you very much my friend. These were unexpected and a surprise. The stockman went into my watch pocket displacing the coin I carry in it and the electrician's displaced my sodbustet from RFP.
These two will be used and enjoyed. Thank you Jeff.

Jeff must have had a great crop of TL's this year? Maybe if we ask nicely, he'll tell us what fertilizer he uses to grow that superbly functional black delrin? Something toxic made by dupont, I'd wager (do they make anything that isn't?). He's awfully generous with them, like everything from his garden!

Finally changed out yesterday's knives for this superbly functional pair, but I'm beat and may just nap with the window open. Pretty fancy napping knives, eh?

Yes he is generous.
Nice pairing. The fixed blade looks very handy, especially in the kitchen
 
Yer tempting me to get my (c.1978 to 1984) 4 pin 7OT out, and put it onto my belt next to/ behind the Leatherman Charge+ TTi.
Tho to be honest ... I "should" get out the Oak 'n 5160 Buck 110, reprofile the edge to the 7OT's 10DPS, and tote it for a spell or three. 🙄

The LB7's are all 440A blades, correct?
A real beauty you have there. 👍

Thank you.
I am not sure what the steel is. I have always liked these knives. I have a couple of the 7OT's as well. One of them might find it's way into the belt before long
 
(Ref. Post 226013, above, this page)
I decided to add the Oak 'n 5160 Buck 110 to my belt, using the blacked out black Buck nylon sheath I have.
The 110 is positioned behind and to the left of the Leatherman at the 3:00/15:00 belt loop. (belt loop -> LM -> Buck -> wallet)

Also decided to put the LM back in the original black nylon sheath,to match the Buck sheath, and military style black canvas belt I'm using.

SO hard to get etched tang stamps to show up with the poor lighting I have. Sorry about that.
Bos 5160 on the 110 (pile side) so you dunt think I fibbing aboout having one.

SV30 on the Leatherman, proving itta Charge+ TTi.
The "extra" crimper in the plier jaws (visible in the group picture) prove itta early one.

I did some trading a couple years ago with the gemtleman a couple doors down at the facility for the LM, SAK Hercules, SAK Evo Grip 14, Evo Grip 10, and the Mini Champ I have. 😇👍

Please have a 1 derfull remainder of 2023 to 852211 and beyond.

p.S.
Black T in cup. Taint 🤢 coffee.
