What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[RickHuf]

That’s big, indeed. But supremely useful for almost any job. Hope you can bond with it.
And yes, that Schrade steel takes an incredible edge.
Mine has not darkened as yours has. And it’s easy to tell the handles are Black Walnut. Yours may be the same under that “patina”??

Thanks for the reply! It is very very useful!

I think this one is the cocobolo. It's listed with that wood in the older catalogs. When it came to me, the covers were chipped up and very rough. I sanded from 150-400 and then polished with red rouge... there's no patina left. It polished up really well like rosewood. Very hard.

Here it is next to the other one, which seems like walnut to me. Very pretty covers on both.


These things are very exceptional for a hard working "utility" style knife. The wood, the fit and finish, everything is excellent. The pull is perfectly smooth. SW really put a good effort into these knives.

Very nice combo. Glad you are sharing on the porch.( I may have missed your previous posts).

Thank you sir. I don’t carry either very often. They just seemed to fit together today. It’s a beautiful day in the Bluegrass State.

Its the #384 Bunny Knife today. I am coming down with something nasty. Going to take it easy and hope that I can kick whatever this is quickly. Hope everyone else is having a good week!

The rwl34 of the kroo is tough to form a patina on.

Bob, that Kroo is easily my favorite in your inventory, love that smooth bone!

Thank you FC. It is a perfect fit for my hand.
Your Moran is quite the piece of cutlery and matches well with your Erickson.

Man, what a crappy piece of wood. At least it turned out nice.

That is a beautiful Scagel design. Great coat Jim.

Many thanks, Bob.

I've been doing some reading about Scagel -- absolutely fascinating and talented man. I've definitely got to head over to Fruitport one of these days and do some exploring.

It’s that time of year … the boat is in storage and the dock and lift are out. Carrying the Rough Ryder Carbon Micarta duo while I do my fall chores!!

I’ve been busy with work and family lately and haven’t had any time to spend on the forum the last couple weeks. Glad to have a little time now to check in.

Interesting trail if you "ended up" with that trio.

Very nice David.

Thanks, Bob. This will be the 22nd year (I think() with the same guys (or close to it). Pictures from past ventures below.
