What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I hope I'm not the only one wishing for Fall.
Nah. They told me I was going to die in 2012. Since then, I’m not wanting to skip a single day. Besides, I like to sweat. I think it’s good for your skin and kidneys. But at my nephew’s wedding last Friday, in a suit with a long sleeved starched shirt and tie, sitting fully in the sun…🤪
What a GREAT collection!
That display case is full of awesome pieces.

I'm just starting my Schrade collection and am on the hunt for a Primble 935 with sawcut bone handles to round out my stockman collection.
Well, hurry up! I can’t wait to see it.😎

This has been my year for AC failures 🥵 The heat pump at the Tennessee trailer has cooled its last. The ac in the PT Cruiser (Tennessee car) quit, and when the local shop estimated a repair bill of $1300, I told them I'd just roll the windows down like we did back in the day

Then on Monday, the hottest day of the year, my Missouri ac malfunctioned. It would blow cold, but only for 4 or 5 minutes at a time. Its a big window unit, so this morning I pulled it out of the window. Its filthy. Really filthy


The designers made it almost impossible to clean the cooling fins without complete disassembly 🤬 I'm going to do the best I can without complete disassembly and hope for the best 🤞

One of the implements of destruction is the RR hoof pick knife. Real handy for getting in those little nooks and crannies 🐴
Half of that window unit is meant to be out in the weather, so can’t you just blast it out with a jet nozzle on your hose?
Of course, we do like using our pocket knives.🤔
 
I saw some killer gunstocks posted yesterday so I got the itch to carry this guy again. It won’t win a beauty contest but it gets the job done!

But it could help in a hotdog eating contest…🌭

I attended a couple of outdoor weddings in July. One in Missouri, one in Tennessee. I wore a suit jacket at the one in Missouri. I skipped the jacket for the one in Tennessee. In Tennessee, as soon as the "I do's" were over I was taking off the tie and rolling up my sleeves. I found out later that Karen, my cousin from Georgia, had commented to my aunt, from Tennessee, "How long do you think it will be before Mike ditches the tie?" 🤣
Apparently, I'm predictable :rolleyes:

You're comment RE the water is timely: I've been hesitant to blast water through it, being it is an electrical device, but I've been sitting here considering it 🤔
 
Case Knife of the Week is a humpback stockman (thanks, Mike):


Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week also happens to be a stockman, a large oriental Imperial (thanks, Mark):


- GT

It is odd that it's a "10" rather than a "6" 🤔
For those who may not know, in Case's official nomenclature, a "10" normally indicates handles of G10 or micarta and a "6" indicates jigged bone or jigged synthetic.

mbkr mbkr I'm an "accumulator" rather than a "collector". I appreciate the knife for its usability (and because some are just downright pretty). So, like I said, you folks may well be correct and the incorrect stamp was applied. I'm just posting what's on the knife.

running in a similar vein, my traditional knife for today has been a Case humpback stockman. This one is in ebony.

Oh absolutely. I would do the same. Just out of curiosity, do you have the box? Does it say 10318 also?

Love the humpback in ebony 😍
