What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Waiting on my daughter so now you get a photo of the new old 8ot and the official 2024 salt bag knife

Today is the first time I've needed a salt bag knife... Been a fairly snow free season so far. It snowed like hell all afternoon, worked like crazy clearing two campuses... and now it's raining. Go figure.

We got a few inches of wet snow overnight, shoveling duty done this morning. Watching some football now and since I selected yellow & black knives today, not related to the game, I guess I'll have to root for the steelers.🫤 Not my team but it seems to be bringing some good mojo to them as they are leading in the first quarter. I'll take credit for that. 🤪

And a well-deserved encore for the 35 today.
Hope everyone is having a fun and/or productive weekend. Blowing what's left of my allowance on knives and spray foam here, trying to stay ahead of the cold.

Primble and the Marbles in water buffalo that has gotten most of the carry time for the last 20+ years. Definitely my go to. It’s raining and snowing in the Bluegrass State. Stay safe. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Its not raining cats and dogs but rhinos and elephants these last few days and its colder.😅

Main road into town near me has been closed as its impassable with flooding. 😮

So I decided to stay in today (wimp),wet so stainless plus in house so can use one of my few lock blades.

I modified this myself so it fits the hand better.

Like a buck 110 perfect for woodsy/tough stuff.

Love the knife, hate the floods.

I solved that problem by buying my wife her own Leatherman.
Or I thought I was solving that problem…
She’s an interior designer doing in-home sales of window treatments. Besides having every square inch of her SUV filled with huge sample books, she carries an aluminum step ladder, a fancy laser measuring device, and various other tools of her trade. She is not involved with installations, but there are times when a SAK or Leatherman would come in handy. Or so you’d think.

I don’t think she even knows where it is at any moment. Probably with the Victorinox I gave her down in the bottom of the armrest storage bin, or ???

Of course most of her pants don’t even have pockets, and she’d never wear a belt!

Yeah, I guess I am little thick, it took me a couple years after losing the Leatherman to buy her a knife. I ended up getting her one of the tiny SAK's with cats on it so she would want to carry it, of course it stays at home on her couch side table now, but at least she uses it.

Maybe if you sneak a 58mm size SAK onto her keyring she won't know about it until she needs it? It sounds like she is a pretty self reliant kind of person though!

My wife said the same thing about ladies pants pockets when I first suggested she carry a knife.

Oh no. That was a cheapo I grabbed just because it looked neat. The sheath is imitation leather. Honestly it's not a bad knife at all, but I never use it for anything so today was it's time to shine. Now it lives with the snow equipment.

I'd love to get my hands on a couple of their older USA models but haven't really gone down that rabbit hole yet.

Cold & gloomy day in NW Arkansas. Went out looking for eagles but they didn't want to cooperate. The few I saw were too far away or obscured by branches.

I must say, your Zwilling is superb! 👌🏻 I've been watching these for a while waiting on "mine". Yours is the most gorgeous I've seen thus far. 👍🏻 Would you mind sharing some info on the War Eagle? That's a stunner!

The SAK I gave her was the smallest you can get - the Classic. I even knotted a little paracord thingamajig for it and hung it on her keychain.
She took it off.
