Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I do indeed, Jim. It has the best W&T of any Buck I've ever had, with 5+ pulls and good snap on all three blades, plus it has the sheepfoot in the traditional place on the same pivot as the clip. The 425M steel is an upgrade over the current 420HC, and it takes a great edge with that touch of Vanadium.Jeff, I’ve seen that yellow Buck quite a bit since you got it. You must like it!!
I think we're on the mend, Jack. Good Lord willing, and the creeks don't rise.Hope you and the missus are starting to feel a bit better GaryHandsome pair there

Love the Red Trout! Wish I would’ve had the foresight to pick up a couple of those (or even just one) back when they were available. Especially a sheepsfoot one. Oh well.
Good to hear your car was deemed roadworthy!
Great no-nonsense pair right there.
Nice couple of BF knives there, Jeff.
Pretty cool old Lambsfoot, Jack.
Good looking knife! At first I was thinking it was a #23, but I didn’t recognize the wood/shield combination. Now I’m thinking #73 in Osage Orange?
Fancy pair, Paul!
Hey, wearing basically the same thing every day really takes the guess work out of it, big time-saver.
Sorry to hear about your daughters injury, Dan, but glad to hear she should recover ok.
That one never fails to make me laugh!
Randy! It’s great to see you here!Hope you’re doing well.
Nice pic.I’m usually pretty good a recognizing bass guitars, but between this pic and the one in the Guardians thread, I still can’t quite place this one. Looks good, though!
Interesting pattern and some good looking wood.
That sounds nice, Paul.
Great slip, very fitting!
Come on, Jeff, everyone knows you just hand the bass to your worst guitar player.
Just kidding, of course.
Rainy day carry (old pics because it’s dark and gloomy).

I did make homemade pizzas, Gary! No beer, just pizza.Words to live by!![]()
Don't see many of those beauties posted here!
A potent pile!
You never have difficulty transporting synthetic ebony across state lines?
Very cool indeed!
(If it had rounded bolsters, it would have Universal cool, not limited to California.)
Looks like an ideal trio for your volunteer breakfast cooking, Jeff!
WW! What wood on that lovely lambsfoot!
I've enjoyed seeing that 2-blade stag toothpick several times since Saturday!
I don't know anything about revolvers (and I'm too old to learn), so I can't comment other than to say that about 65 years ago I had a cap pistol that looked similar to your Smith & Wesson.
Really admire that double-ended spoon you've been posting lately!
Is that the knife you used to make it?
Superb pair, Steve, especially that stag lambsfoot!
Your cattle knife is a champ!
Congrats on the new (?) stag lamb, JJ!
Time marches on with regard to where knives are made, I guess.
Jack, my wife still doesn't see her passing up the Blue Bell as a "missed opportunity"!
Prestigious pair of lambs, Jack!
Jack & John, I hope you don't mind that I didn't share your entertaining memories of stitch/staple removal with my wife until AFTER hers had been removed Tuesday!
Did you make a pizza last Monday for International Beer & Pizza Day, Jeff?
We ordered a pizza (for my wife) and a calzone (for me) during the 30% discount "happy hour" at the bakery outside our back door on Monday. I think of a calzone as kind of a "omelet pizza" that just gets folded over. I've been enjoying leftovers all week!

That time of year, Todd. We had to drive a couple of hours east to a vet cardiologist yesterday morning, and then a 2+ hour return trip in the afternoon (lots of construction zones on the interstate), and the car heat/AC went through its whole range over the course of the day!
Thanks for the kind words about the horn on the Joker I posted this week.I have knives with blond horn and with black horn with some nice "feathering", but I like that brown/blond horn I posted best. The photos turned out really well, too, given that they were taken indoors at my office with some old fall leaves and acorns that had been sitting on a bookshelf for at least 3 years!
Thanks, JJ.I'm a fan of the stockman pattern, but that humpback variation with the spear main is a nice "change of pace".

Great news buddyI think we're on the mend, Jack. Good Lord willing, and the creeks don't rise.
Glad you all made it JeffReunited with a knife or two after finding our bag on the carousel.
Hey ~ isn’t that a Swiss cross on that bag? View attachment 2354867
Well, yes it is. View attachment 2354872
And not just any Swiss cross, a Wenger cross.View attachment 2354868
To go with my Wenger Handyman, which is reassuringly back in a pocket after being horrifyingly unknifed most of the day.
And one of several others I also brought, my Schrade 175.View attachment 2354869
Interesting setup at the car rental. After the rigamarole at the desk, you proceed out into a huge parking structure looking for where the lady said you’d find your car. K1, in our case. There it was, window open, and key on the dash. Load up, and follow the exit signs to the mumbling boor manning the gate, from whom we eventually extract “Verfy eyedee”. Which we realized meant he wanted to scan my driver’s license before opening the gate. Out of the structure, and boom… right into a harrowing maelstrom of aggressive jerks behind the wheel for a two hour drive north.
All of which is my explanation of why we did not do the usual walk around with a rental agent and her clipboard. And sure ‘nuff, on a car with less than 6000 miles on it, the taillight has been caved in. Y’all can be my witnesses. I didn’t do it!View attachment 2354871
Two elegant slicers there JJ
Thank you Jack. Working out the soreness now.Hope everything continues to go well Bob, and that you're back to playing golf again soon![]()
