What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

On the way to Down East Maine for my annual
landlocked salmon and smallmouth bass fishing trip with my son. Forgot to pack knives (duh?), but luckily a Cabela’s and LL Bean were nearby. A Buck 102 Woodsman Pro and an LL Bean Victorinox Huntsman along with a Streamlight Wedge flashlight.

I'll forget my toothpaste more often than I forget a knife 😂
 
@ephsea many thanks for your appreciation :thumbsup: I'd like a 68 White Owl all steel if I were allowed at wheel of the Dreamship ;) GEC do very tight tolerances on the backs of those all steels too, very impressive.

Carrying the Coco 15 again today - just hoping that the knife I sent Oldy Oldy turns up for him soon. You never know with Canadian customs...or anywhere really, a knife from the US to me here in the EU took 70+ nerve chewing days :eek: More than worth the wait mind.😍

toothpaste is a nasty tasting useless "modern" invention thing that causes excess tonnage, and holey teeths.
(our ancestors 200+ years ago didn't have it. They still had their OEM teeth - usually without holes. 🙄)

While enough knives carried simeltaniously may result in excess poundage, (much less poundage (or tonnage) than "toothpaste", however.) A knife (or knives) are useful and necessary in daily "life" ... for meat and tater/turnip eaters, at any rate ... be they young and hale, or like I, old, wore out, and decrepit.

A knife or knives are also quite ... "handy" ... for some recreational activities, such as whittlin' a caged ball, or a tent stake, chain ... with or without an attached ball, feather sticks, tree spirits/gnomes/trolls, or a sharp point on one end of a pencil ... and so on.
Admittedly, one might be able to get the same results whittlin' using their finger/tow nails, and teeth, but a knife (or knives) makes it so much easier ... and enjoyable. 😇

"In my day" a "he" person was more likely to forget his britches, along with house and car and/or motorcycle or (keyed) bicycle lock(s) keys (locking himself out of the house if he has auto locks) than his pocket knife.
