What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Johnnythefox]

LOL! I found that Ibberson Action Knife, it's a Sheepsfoot, still in the plastic wallet I'll try to get it off to you this week John


Nice pairing Mitch

That's in nice condition I sometimes see them on market stalls, mixed in with SAKs, but usually in poor condition. They were produced in the Richards of Sheffield factory, after Richards acquired Rodgers-Wostenholm. I had a brother-in-law who worked there then. I imagine they were part of the Richards production line

WOW!!

It's genuine then!

I always make sure I do that with my friends' kids!

Yes mate, it's ironic that the Hawley Tool Collection are involved, (and the Cutler's Hall for that matter). Stan used to make knives for a feller from Tennessee, who would visit, with his wife, once a year. One time, Stan took him to see the Hawley collection, then at a different location. The woman in charge knew Stan well, he had given her a lot of help with her dissertation, but she refused to let him and his guest in without an appointment

Thanks mate, they still make a similar pattern in Sheffield

Thanks mate

Starting my week with these two

I used to be a man of action, maybe it will restart me.

I do like that Albers and that Marbles I think I lost mine (see what I did there).

Have a nice day

Good morning all.View attachment 2461650

Pleasing pair, Bob, especially that vintage stockman!

Adolphus Cutlery.

The gentleman Rookie82 was able to learn me the following:

“Adolphus Cutlery Co. was a mark owned by A. J. Jordan who imported knives from England and Germany, and sold them in St. Louis. My reference books say 1882-1890s.

The Alexander Jackson Jordan (A.J.) company owned many different brand names, including AAA1, Old Faithful, 20th Century, and Adolphus Cutlery. A large amount of his business was in selling knives to Native American tribes, especially Blackfeet and Crow. They operated from 1871-1929.”

Thanks for the additional info (and props to Rookie82 for digging it up); amazing knife!

A pair of Cases today. The 6308 Whittler is from 1972. The 2031L Electrician is older.View attachment 2461854

Couple of captivating vintage Case knives, Jeff!
I don't remember you carrying a pair of Cases very often.

BF 2021 again.

That knife has loads of style AND substance!!

Got some stuff out today that I like but never carry.

View attachment 2462331

Splendid trio!
Do you not carry them because they're rare and virtually irreplaceable?

Rufus is Bob
Amir is Jeff
Jakey is Paul
Joe Fairbanks is Ken
Priester John is Vince
And so on…

If I would have known this kind of creative license was allowed when I joined the forum, I wouldn’t have chosen such a dull name like…my real daggum name .

Once upon a time there was a thread here in which people posted explanations of their usernames and why they chose them. I thought it was very interesting, but I can't seem to find it.
ETA: Found it!

Eureka yesterday and the wharncliffe trapper today.

That's a stunning pair, Bart!

...
I missed yesterday, so catching up has taken some time! Carried this wee Shadow pattern Joseph Rodgers Lambsfoot yesterday...

And today, I'm positively bristling! Have a good Friday everyone

Intriguing foursome of knives, Jack!

With a new blanket of snow last night and a return to the ice box for the weekend, I'm protesting with an all ebony Friday.

View attachment 2462598

I sure hope you didn't have to burn that exquisite ebony to stay warm, Rob!

An Owl and Lamb today. Stay warm folks!
View attachment 2462610

Superb pair, Todd; that "customized" Charlie Lamb is grand!

With today being Black Friday here on the porch, I decided to be a light in the darkness.

Good idea, Jeff!
You Florida folks gotta carry some white knives for us snowbound people who are afraid of losing white knives in the snow.

Thanks, Gary! You're dead on -- that one's an Imperial (circa 1967).

I trust that, as a fellow Michigander, you and I will be pulling for the same team this weekend. Something tells me that it will not be the same team that Todd bigfish64 will be rooting for...

Thanks for the confirmation, Jim.
And you're right, I'm a life-long Lions fan, although I didn't watch the game. I haven't watched a game all year, and I'm too superstitious to start watching now! The Lions have been doing fine without my TV tuned to their games. (I often check the score online while the game is in progress though.)

You are correct in that assumption Jim. That said, if my Bucs don’t get past the Lions this weekend I will be pulling for the Lions to make it to the big game.

Looking forward to having you aboard, Todd!

Man…I opened the door for that one. Well played my friend!

I’ve been away from the Porch for a while, and missed everyone dearly. Trying to remember how to post pictures etc. please let me know if this works .

Welcome back, Tom! It's good to see one of your "daily double on the rocks" photos again!

View attachment 2463194

That green gatorbelly is a looker!

I like your " Teddy Roosevelt " Gary, but oh my, what a lamb

Rosewood Lamb is killer Gary.

Thanks for the kind words, Bob & Todd.

I can appreciate and old knife that has a lot of character and is still in great working order. This antique Voos is a nice one and came into my procession as a gift courtesy of Paulhilborn a few years ago. Many thanks, Paul.
I've been carrying and using it along with a Fight'n Rooster the past few days. These two and a glass of bourbon are all I need to warm my heart and soul at the end of the work week. TGIF Porchsters!

A rOOster and vOOs and a glass of bOOze are lOOking gOOd!!

Your rosewood HHB is ravishing, Taylor!

Can you canoe?

Canoe? Can do!
Here's a few:

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend Double Albers for me

Jack, I enjoyed your double Albers, with relish!

That's an Alox model I'd like to track down someday, José!
Did they call that model Settler?

Just got this one in the mail last night, going to take it for a ride today

Congrats on that pristine vintage Schrade Walden whittler!

You have quite the armada to relish. Beautiful collection of canoes.

I remember the name thread...I noted there, that mine was the name of a favorite cocker spaniel that passed and birth year.

Mini-Monday in Mammoth with this gorgeous little "Pinched Peanut" from A.G. Russell Knives, probably the nicest pattern I've ever handled

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

I don’t know. There’s tons of good stuff at the Badger show, but I only remember seeing a couple GECs.

Yeah, I was kind of joking. I can’t recall seeing many, if any GECs there either. But one can hope.

Keeping it classic today. Love this one.

Hey ~ Case’s salesman must have had a connection with Peabody Coal Co. i have a large Case Trapper with the Peabody blade etch. I had to buy it because of that ~ it reminded me of the John Prine song, Paradise.

Thanks, Gary. I guess you’re right. Off the top of my head, I think i only have nine Cases, and don’t usually make a point of pairing them up.
Aside from sometimes pairing a TL-29 with another from thw same brand, or choosing a knife based on need (garden), I lean toward a more random, whatever carches my eye style of rotation. Unlike someone I know…

Beauty Harry, be careful out there. We are getting freezing rain down here, so I’m home from school today.

 

[bigfish64]

Freezing rain here today so we are having an E-learning day. I’ve got these two in my pockets.

Some Mammoth for Monday. AG Russell Pinched Peanut and a Loveless-inspired fixed blade from Eldon Talley.
