What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Well as a few of you Will know I have been trying to complete the full set of Blade forums knives . It all started with the first one I got from Brian Smith , the stag Barlow by Queen cutlery , that sparked an interest , and for the last five years I have been hunting down the rest of them . Thanks to the help of some good people and my bank balance being battered lol 😂
I have finally taken delivery today of the last 3 knives that complete the set . I think there is a couple of specials that were not actually the annual knife , that I don’t have . But was lucky enough to find an Eric’s knife. So here is the full set in all its glory 👌
God knows what I’m going to do now I have them all 🤷‍♂️😂FDBE0688-CAC4-41D8-83C1-2136EA7B05F4.jpeg

Thank you sir for the comments, almost missed your question. The two on the left are old Westinghouse paper ivory micarta, hard to find the real stuff. It darkens beautifully over the years (like ivory) but much tougher. Bell knife resting on a piece of the westy he used for that trapper. Charlie gave me the rest of that piece rest and had Dowell use it for the other knife pictured. Because paper micarta is made from sheets of paper, it doesn't have lines. Over time the color of the knife will darken to the color of the background piece. Pic taken shortly after build.

Pic taken a couple days ago. Bell trapper was darker to begin with as Charlie took special care to try and leave as much of the darkened micarta as possible. Brett had to finish it a little deeper to remove a flaw that luckily came out. Changed little in a year, will be a long time before it returns to the darker color. Note the smooth transition on the Bell between the bolster and the kick, very comfortable in use. This design element is not easy. That trapper also has filework, it's killer. The Ricky Bob Menefee trapper is blue mammoth bark that I had been hoarding for a few years. IIRC it's the knife displayed on his home page, or it was at one time. Micarta Monday.

Another ridiculous gift from Rufus1949 Rufus1949 . A wonderful K'roo Lanny's Clip that matches my lambsfoot perfectly.

Thank you so much, Bob. Next knife is on my dime !!!!! Your friendship is so important to me and this post doesn't even come close to showing my gratitude. Hope the recovery is going well today.

My "coat pocket" puukko. I made it of a Wood Jewel "Lappipuukko". I shortened the handle and thinned it slightly from the sides. The back bolster or plate is from a bronze medal I got in a archery competition 2003, tang is peened over it. The sheath is thick vegetable tanned leather, pocket carry only. Flaws, but handmade.
