What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[sf fanatic]

Thank you Jeff !
The knife is less than a year old.
I take it as a compliment that it looks old as that means that the fact that I have been using a lot shows

It is a gaucho knife, the smaller "Verijero" type (BF thread here )
The sheath is made with goat rawhide and very skilfully stitched together.
Gauchos would usually carry smaller knives like my Verijero in the front and larger ones in the back.

New, back in March 2023

Beautiful knife! But I haven’t had a waist line like that since I was in the 3rd grade!

I seem to have gotten stuck on about six of my knives, and I'm just rotating through every possible combination of those six. To my other knives: I promise I'll carry you again soon! Here's today's combo:

Winterbottom Bone from S&M today. A fine pair.

Thursday's pair. None of the 4 blades here were good for cutting apples, which was kind of annoying.

Friday's blades, however, struck fear into the hearts of fruit wherever they went.
Friday, yipee!

Work was a little bit crazy this last week and didn’t have much time to get on the forum. Went out and got our Christmas tree today, with the knife that I’ve been taking every time we cut one down for the last several years.

Funny you should mention that... I was very close to ordering some Fiebing's dye last night. Not sure there are many options for a brown base, although red + brown =maroon. Red + brown could also = "ruint".

You got Stone Cold Steve Austin and the word “ruint” in back to back posts. The south salutes you sir . All you need now is a cold beer and reruns of American Gladiators on the TV.

In a far away land with only this knife. It’s been quite useful and a reliable companion.

That'd be great, Jon! Unfortunately, mom drank all the beer and they've turned the power off due to the Viper drop. We're sitting here in the dark playing "I spy".

Cool pics Jon

Have a great weekend everyone

Cool knife, Dan. It looks very old.
Is the sheath set up for belt or pocket carry? Both?

Good project for a day when rain keeps you inside.
You’re giving me ideas…
I like the idea of a slim wood sheath, wrapped in rawhide.
The olther day, in one if those big box stores, I saw a display of huge rawhide dog chews. I mean huge, as in a sheet 3 or 4 ft wide, rolled into a long stick. I could get one, soak it until it’s soft, and use that. Hmmm.

The forecast says it might be minus 30 centigrade in the coming days, a good time to stay inside and do something like this. I made a sheath for the Böker, the knife is light and slim, just a joy to carry and use.

It’s Saturday morning and I feel good, like a kid again. I’ve got a new pair of jeans with some lucky shells and a magnificent pocket knife. What else does a 76 year old kid need?

Hey, Jon, did you feel any different when you crossed over to "the other side?"

I'm going with an old workhorse for my job today.

reruns of American Gladiators

I am old. I forgot the name of my favorite gladiatrix. She had long blonde hair and her sport was solo free rock climbing, which was great because "if you fall you die".

The Boker is tagging along today for any dirty work. Have a great weekend everyone .
