What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Kerry Hampton Small Swayback

Kerry made you a remarkable knife, it will only get better

 

[Will Power]

No.6

One of my favourite Opinels, right size for most things, think GEC 15 if you're sceptical about 'small' knives

Here's one of my own No.6s a nice stripey Olivewood.

Thanks, Will

A couple of fixed blades for some yard work. A Buck 118 Personal (1967-72) w/ Inverted 2-Line Stamp and a Case Bird & Trout or Little Finn (I’m not quite sure) from 1940-65 (I think?). The stag on the Case is very nice.

I thought I'd put the Remington pruner to some use today & surprise Mrs Hoovie with some of her favorite flowers when she gets off of work. We haven't seen each other much lately since I've been working 12+ hour shifts over the weekend & now I'm pulling some night shift duty for a few days.

Gotta keep the romance going fellas

I’m carrying the Cooper Cutlery Beaver Falls ebony jack today. So far I am extremely impressed.

The viper is enjoying an extended run in the pocket.

Heckuva pair you've got there, McD!

You're a true gentleman. Truly.

Forge de Laguiole, 5 Coqs. Too big for the pocket but I have a pouch for that!

I have the almost twin of yours! I don't carry it often enough because I never want anything to happen to it. The belt sheath from Fontenille Pataud is pretty handy though.

Took my favorite A. Wright for a rainy bike ride on the C&O canal trail today.

It looks good, I wish he'd do them in 1095 and I wish it was easier to find one.

I agree to your first point. If you care to private message me I can show you what dealers have them in stock right now.

 

[5K Qs]

Will the heel on the lady's leg open a bottle?

Zieg

That's the "legend" I've always heard, but I don't recall ever trying it with my knife.

So at suppertime tonight, I got a bottle of Killian's Irish Red and tried to open it with the shoe of the lady leg knife. I succeeded eventually, but it took me several attempts to make the front of the heel get a firm grip on the lower edge of the bottle cap. I think I'd do better the next time I tried, but it's not the most efficient bottle opener I own. I feel a little burr on the heel. I don't know if it has always been there, or whether trying to grip the cap edge with the relatively soft (?) bolster material (nickel silver and brass liner) already put noticeable "wear and tear" on the heel.

FWIW, the beer bottle had a twist-off cap, but I've often opened those with a cap lifting tool, usually an old-fashioned "church key".
