What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

My painting knife is an old solid-bolstered Imperial camp knife with the long screwdriver/bottle opener.

Not pictured here:

I just checked again. The Case is from1970.
 
“The Cowboy” Bullet Knife and my dad’s old Boy Scout camping knife. I had no idea he still had it tucked away after all these years, but I recently found it while going through some of his treasures and I couldn’t have been more excited! 😊

SARGE Official BSA barlow stays for day eleventeen of the Barlow challenge.
I (air quotes) "think" a Barlow - Canoe/Gunboat combination is near "ideal".
The Hammer Brand didn't get much pocket exposure in 22 or 23. I suppose I should give it considerably more in '24. 🤔🤨

I will probably tote this combination until the fifth, maybe longer.
If I do, fear not! I won't post them every day. 😇👍
(I don't wanna "bore yer socks off" ...)

Two favorite patterns from Camillus. View attachment 2515803View attachment 2515804Yesterday I bent the fret wire to match the fingerboard radius, and hammered them in. Once they’re leveled and polished, I can move on to cutting the nut out of dog chew cowbone.

Too many starts and stops on this project. In fact, it sat for a couple of years, and I have three other Telecaster copies started. But I decided I need to plug away at this one first. It’s for my son.

I got frustrated several times with this guitar, almost chucking it into the firewood bin several times, but learning how to work around my mistakes is how I get better at this.

Congratulations on that find Pat. There’s nothing like a knife with sentimental value.
