What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Angry Waiter]

35 on a windy day.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Black box Winchester smooth bone moose and an Ulster whittler with some age and several miles on it. That is some honest pocket wear on the jigged bone whittler. Someone prior to me got a lot of use outta that old knife. Blade wear as well but still retains very good snap opening and closing.

Best kind of used knife.

You are right sir. Nothing like the sound of the bat and a smile on a kid’s face when they hit a good one.

That horsey bone is lookin so good. The 93 frame is a stunner!

Today’s carries; ‘75, ‘05, and a very old FB that I added a new handle to. I suspect it may have been made from a scythe blade or something like that, but not sure…
It’s cold and snow is in the ground in Central Kentucky today. Stay sharp! View attachment 2499120

I havent taken this out in a while ive had since a child,about 52 or more years.

It belonged to a German WW2 Uboat submariner,I think he was the Captain.

Its big,strong and light,I chipped the blade when I was a kid.

Brass shines well,wood is perfect, all the pins are still flush,its built to a high standard.

Some of these quotes go back at least 10 days!
I'm not remarking on every post that's remarkable, since I'm trying to catch up before the spring thaw. But I'll pick a few posts that move me deeply, or directly address me.

Case Muskrat from 1971 and a Shapleigh "Diamond Edge" Barlow for Tuesday.

You sure know how to portray a pocketknife, Rob!!

The horn on that Joker sure is beautiful!

Thanks. Horn that reminds me of the horn on our Holsteins when I was growing up (until we started routinely dehorning them) is what I like best.

These two today. I was so excited about a new fixed blade I ordered off the exchange yesterday I forgot to post .

Superb olive wood Joker!
I have one just like it, except mine may be a larger model.

Made it through another day of work.

The Feb. 6 joke is FIRE!
The sowbelly is soulful!

Thank you. The sample size is small for me but this is some of the best I’ve seen.

Thanks Gary, I will.
My plan is to remain caretaker to that one and the Franklin half for as long as I'm around these here parts.
Of course, one never knows...

Sounds like a plan, all right!

Thank you, sir! If you recall, it was one of your sub-sets that initially sparked my interest in Case knives.

I vaguely remember that!

Thanks, Gary. As my coffee cup says, I appreciate the sediments.

The Canoe is becoming a favorite. View attachment 2486367

Then you're becoming a canoeseur!

Congrats on tracking down one of those walnut Rogers jigged bone Case models, Chris!
If that's a 6347, I have one like it, and it's one of my favorites.

Thank you, Gary. He has made a number of them. Think I even saw a 3 blade cattle knife recently.

Thanks for the info, Paul.

...
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 )

Interesting info, Jack; I've lived a sheltered life!

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

...

I'm still not completely confident in my pocketknife pattern identification skills, so I appreciate knives like your corn knife that explicitly display their pattern name!

Happy Friday everyone! It's going to be a great day here today made even better by these two recent arrivals, thanks to @pat9198 and @Jakeywax31. View attachment 2488884

Congrats on that pair, Todd!
Cherish the Churchill!

Same as yesterday

Festive covers!
What company made that knife?

A fine Waynorth Mitch.
It keeps reminding me of Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels singing "CCRyder" 1966

They had some high energy hits back then, Bob!

Valley Jack is a beauty !

Valley Jack is A+!

Thanks, guys.

Time for a cold beer!

Your jigged bone Charlie Lamb is outstanding, Taylor!

I love Little Debbie nutty bars. I didn’t know they had ice cream. I’ll have to keep my eye out for that.

Bart, I like the nutty bars, too, but I've had stout that's supposed to have nutty bar flavor, and I'd advise passing on that!
