What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[SteveC]

Dig that Baxter bone, Steve! How old is it, or should I ask @Jack Black?

Thanks, I can't remember what Jack said but I think it's maybe from the 1930's

Most excellent Boker and the soupy large lambsfoot.

I'm going to have to turn something to fill that hole from the missing shield. I tried maple the other day but it didn't look right. Maybe nickel or Delrin.

Another beautiful day here in the City the Bay! Chilly start to the day but should warm up later. No big plans for the day looking forward to the World Series. Rangers in five. Keeping me company will be the Harvey Special and Lil Ike. Have a great weekend folks!

Good Morning Porchsters,

I bought this a while ago, cant remember if it was when Rough Ryder fist came out or if it was because I like the sodbuster pattern, Blade spring doesnt work and you have to shove it across and then there is more blade play/waggle room than the proverbial wizards sleeve. I have consigned it to spreading butter and cutting toasted sandwiches.

Is that the Sodbuster Jr. size?
I remember they were having problems with the pivot rivet on those for a while. I am not sure, but I think they've fixed the problem.
I don'r remember seeing reports the large size had problems.

By the way, RR/SMKW does stand beind the lifetime warranty.
You should contact them about it.
If the gaps causing the blade play can be shown in photos, you might not even need to return the knife.

I didn't need to return the two Marbles (MR278 and MR409) with a busted mainspring. They sent replacements of the same models.

This morning Jack and I found another State Park property bound [Surveyors delight]. Sak Sportsman and Buck 424

Did you use (or are you going to use) the SAK or Buck to finish dropping that broken section?
Looks like ether would do the job.
Looking at it in the wide angle shot, if you cleared the brush/weeds from under it, the broken section as-is would make a dandy ridge pole for a shelter ...

Friday is for Farmers and Fixed blades. You folks have a great day

It is one of the Texas Camp Knife models, 981416. A huge knife, with a 4" main blade, sheepsfoot secondary blade, a punch and a can/bottle opener. The fit and action of the blades is incredible. This is one of Charlie Campagna's SFO from the 98 run, in Antique Yellow Jigged Bone. It took me a while to locate one, but I am very glad to finally have one to use. I had heard the Fit and Finish on these was excellent, but it really exceeded my expectations. Blades fit together perfectly with no rub, and the pull of each blade is just right. Amazing quality work from GEC.

Maybe a silver Roosevelt dime?

I assume that the 38 Grinling from 2015 is the one you were telling me about !! ??? It is a fine looking knife . Nice pair for the pockets .

Bought one of these a little while ago and it needed a little TLC that I felt like I couldn't handle personally so I sent it off to be fixed. In the meantime I got restless and bought another one, this one. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Those old veteran Camillus military knives deserve TLC

 

[screened porch]

What’s the scale material? For a while, they were using bone…

I think it's bone. There seem to be pores on the beveled ends.

Little walk in the woods on a drizzly but warm day. Somethng inviting about a trail heading off into the woods
Some faithful friends today ~
Some years ago, Dad gave my son a brand new Buck 102 Woodsman. I liked it so much that I went and bought the 119 Special for trade bait. Now I have both, and a way to remember him.
