What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Sorry. I must respectfully disagree.
Unless you are attempting to cut with the spine, the harder you push down on the blade of a slipjoint (or friction folder) you are forcing the blade open, regardless of if clip, spear point, or a straight edge blade profile

My comments applied to working with the point to penetrate a surface. Your comments apply to the main cutting edge.

Really like the bone & colour on those. Offset by that rock very nicely indeed. I'm very thankful I have one, a generous gift from a Forumite who is no longer active.

Thanks, Will

I’m with you, Will — love the color and jigging of the bone on this one. Hope you’re enjoying yours!

Finished up a knife for myself today. Stag and MagnaCut make for a nice combination.

Any idea when and where your Gibson was made, Jeff? One of my uncles worked in the Gibson "factory" in Kalamazoo MI starting in the mid-1960s. I like your red/yellow knife pairing.

1955, Gary. Yes, Kalamazoo
What did your uncle do for Gibson?

Right down the street from where my old Checker was built.

And don't forget Kalamazoo was the celery capital of the world.

I like that you can tuck secondary blades really tightly into the gunstock frame. It preserves a really sleek profile.

Very nice! I wouldn't mind a traditional like that in magnacut or something like S90v

Beautiful Buckeye, Bob! Sean, the gunstock is exceptional!

After Church today I went lightweight and pocketed Richie.

Victorinox Picnicker, Craftsman Stockman, and a very nice little Boker Penknife, which Bob recently sent.
Thanks much my friend!
