What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[KentuckyBlackBird]

Deleted all of my pics so I can continue on here as I was before and I still can’t post… Nothing I have is a safe queen, nor are they of any substantial value. I do have some that are priceless to me though. I very much enjoy posting and interacting with everyone on here and the fellowship more than I care about photos of my knives that most of you have or could acquire at leisure. Anywho, It’s cool in the Bluegrass State. I hope you are all well, or better than you were at the start of your day. Stay Sharp.

Congrats Jeff.....great find.

I told the guy that I knew that 99.999% of the people there weren’t looking for old jackknives. Meaning I could go look around and come back later for it.
He said I was right.
Unless one of those Habbard collectors came by.
He’s a pretty good salesman.

Helping my dad replace the front 4x4 differential in his work truck today. Definitely a two man job even with a lift. Heavy & awkward makes for a good time lol
Stopped for a quick pic with the old International.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

I love old tractors and Dads that work on stuff. And sons that help them

Had a nice hike in the woods, sure would have been nice to find some dry land fish but a beautiful day regardless.

Your picture just lowered my blood pressure

I won’t be carrying all of these at the same time, but they will all get carried at some point today. The Maher & Grosh was my only purchase this year at the show, thanks for your help Neal @herder. The slip was a super cool gift from Barrett @btb01, thanks Buddy. The sweet Boker Barlow was pressed in my hand by Harry @Old Engineer on our way into breakfast, thanks so much. Finally the 1970 10-dot Case 18 was a gift from Neal at dinner. He knows I like old Case because I’m always bugging him for his advice and opinions, thanks Neal!
The admission pass was covered by Paul @Jakeywax31, who refused to let me pay for my admission or breakfast! Awesome guys! Really enjoyed catching up with Greg @sunknife and Jeff Amir Fleschwund It was another great show!

Twas good seeing you.

A Buck 301 with BG-42 blade steel and Westinghouse Micarta covers.
Before PM blade steels were a thing, BG-42 was king of the heap. Buck used it occasionally, as they purchased their 420HC from Latrobe. Latrobe was the manufacturer of BG-42. Latrobe has since been purchased by Carpenter.

Nice info, and pretty Sunday Buck.

Smooth bone Sunday, with a side of G-10 and brass. Have a good one everybody!

Nice to see so many Horsewrights lately.

Today I am carrying a , new to me , 1979 Stag Puma

Generally speaking, there are two aspects or characteristics of things that ultimately determine whether something it's good or not. Form and function.
Since the "30-Day Barlow challenge", I've been sporting this Italian made beauty a lot.
I say beauty as in functioning in near perfection. Pleasing pull, pinch-able, forever sharp, lightweight, comfortable, sturdy... things that for me, make this fine tool close to matchless.
Since I have such high regard for Shufflers and I like this pic, one may find this Barlow posted elsewhere today.

My Dad always had Barlows, and his hand-me-downs were my brother's & my first knives 60-some years ago. The Lionsteels may look a little different, but the Shuffler & Roundhead are my most carried Barlows, for all the reasons you stated.

Your Dad had good cutlery sense and started you guys on the right path. Lionsteel Barlows may just be a continuation of that path.

No better combo!
I carried a 110 and a Spartan exclusively for over 4 months awhile back. Never felt any lack.
What cover material is on the Buck?

Canoes of the Week are a Rough Rider, the first canoe I ever handled that sold me on the pattern, and a stag Colt canoe that I happened to pick up when, for a short time, Colt sold several patterns in nice stag for $20 per knife - wish I had bought a lot more of them while I had a chance!

Good weekend away helping my in-laws move. Had the 5OT in my pocket all weekend so I’ll let it carry over since it didn’t get to give it any glamour shots.

It's koa, a hardwood native to Hawaii. This model is only available through the Buck Collectors Club.

I've always liked carrying a large knife & a smaller one. For the past few months, I've gravitated from modern folders for the main blade, to the classic Buck folders, like the 110 & 112. It frees up some pocket space, and I find that it's no more bother to take the knife from a belt pouch than it is to dig one out of my pocket. There are times when a one handed opening knife is needed. Then I switch back to a modern folder for a while.
