What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

That's a shame

I believe part of the problem was due to his rushing to complete project. I told him not to hurry, but believe he wanted to finish before he went on vacation.

The Turkish delight video made me think of this xkcd about it. (For many Americans, I think our only reference to Turkish delight, for a long time, was The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.)

That's really funny Tyson! Sorry for missing your post previously buddy

The Victorinox sheath is nylon with a removable plastic "holster" that keeps the blade from cutting the nylon fibers. The sheath fits each of my "paring knives" (2 Victorinox and an Otter). It only has a spring steel belt clip, but I usually just stick the sheath in my bag if I want to carry one of the paring knives.

Sounds like a handy thing to have Gary, I found this Nicholas Nichols custom kitchen knife, gifted to me by Reaper AL , so useful in the kitchen, I found a sheath for it, just in case I want to take it camping

Tyson is right about Turkish Delight in my case - I only learned of its existence in the C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia.
Thanks for your compliment on my brass Le Thiers, Jack. I liked the looks of the Le Thiers pattern, but it seemed that only very small ones would fit my knife budget. But the brass one is full-sized, relatively inexpensive, and the brass itself is appealing to me as a handle.

Thanks for bringing Tyson's post to my attention Gary, I'm afraid I missed it I had never thought of that The Fry's stuff is like chocolate-covered jello, but you can get better stuff here, certainly as good as I've had in the Middle East. It goes well with strong coffee, but can't say it is a particular favourite of mine. However, Brian Fixall generously sent me something, which is similar, but better I think (very nice Schrade Barlow too )

Such a shame, hopefully you can straighten the edge out Bob

I've given the market a miss today, and looking at the state of the weather, I may stay in altogether Got my 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot, and a Kiwi Peasant I was gifted by Johnnythefox

 

[Scholefield123]

Another one from the BF collection, I love these knives , every one of them being unique Long may the annual knife continue Looking forward to this years already

 

[Johnnythefox]

Same as Jack the weather is miserable here so staying in,missed a meeting at the council.

Plus I was in so much pain last night I got no sleep so best stay in and turn the heating high.

At the moment watching "Alone" series and some of the kit reveals.

Surprised how many take a Leatherman, but I expect its because as one of the 10 items you could get 2 blades,awl etc.

Though I wonder if you took a pocket knife if they would allow one of those massive 6 blade stockmans (I think thats what they are).

At the same time oiling all the wooden handle knives that areout in the room with me.

One side and one batch at a time,then I remembered these finger protectors I had bought.

Because how ever sure you are you wont cut yourself you know you will.

Quite the lineup John. They are calling your name for pocket time.
I use mineral oil, but I see the lemon oil does a fine job...plus the pleasant smell.

Oh, so that's what Turkish Delight is! I was confused when reading The Narnia books, because there used to be a candy bar here called "Turkish Taffy" that was so tooth-extractingly dense, I couldn't imagine that was what they were talking about.

Thanks for the info, Rachel. Having an ancient ivory knife is pretty impressive!

Thanks, Gary. I'm adding another ancient ivory "oddball knife" to my pockets today.

I have mineral oil as well,l but I saw this oil mentioned on here,its easy to apply you just dab it on.
Rest assured all the knives in this room are used by me,the trouble is deciding which to use.

You are traveling in style today Eric.

Thanks. I feel like it as far as the blade situation goes!!

John Primble Belknap saw-cut bone Barlows ... models 5921 and 5922 ( contracted with Boker *) for Thursday, plus my newly acquired Case Grandaddy Barlow, which I have been toting every day for the last week .... in my leather horizontal belt sheath. The clip bladed Barlow was very kindly gifted to me by my friend Paul Hilborn, about ten years ago.

The biggin' is a beauty Mr.P.
I wish someone would bring back a Primble styled Barlow. Many try but yours is sublime.

I’ll have to think about carrying Ganddaddies on my belt. I don’t like the way it flops down horizontally in my front pocket. To alleviate that, I’ve been using a slip.
Or I suppose I coukd weat tight fitting jeans…

Nah.

I’m eagerly anticipating the temperature getting into the upper fifties today. But after appointments at the med. center for my daughter and I, we may get home in time for rain. That will give me the impetus to get back to work on this chunk of western cedar that is starting to look like a Telecaster.Joining my old Cattle Knife is this fantastic Schrade 96OT Big Trapper that was a very thoughtful gift from Rick, RLB0414 .
Thanks my friend!

There are two tools in the handle, SAK style, a tweezers and a scribe. Not personal care items as in an SAK, but geared toward shop work.
