What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Case Sway Back Jack. This one is in Tru-Sharp. I have another in CV. Both show their TB heritage and have flat springs in all three blade positions, for both blades.

Case Knife of the Week is a chestnut jigged CV trapper (thanks, Chris). I've used it quite a bit, since I keep it on the kitchen counter when it isn't taking a turn with pocket duty. But I think I've only used the spey blade.


Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is an oriental Schrade 5OT from Tractor Supply.

Edit for added pic.
I had one strike at me a couple summer back here in Indiana. Timbers are only found in a small area in the state. The one that about got me was 6 miles from the trailhead. Glad he missed and wish I’d gotten a pic, but he wasn’t in the mood. But here’s one I encountered en route to a kayaking trip.

All this traditional talk with the 2024 forum knife and general showing up, I got in the mood to carry a traditional. Any ways I was sharpening at the kitchen table jokingly asked my wife what is this called ( holding up the knife.

She said a knife, I said No.
It’s a 1940’s pencil sharpener!
The kids eyes lit up unexpectedly, they spent about 30 or so mins sharpening pencils with the knives :p ha ha .
