What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

All steel, no name.

I have two or three pairs of newer boots, but I just can't bring myself to throw these old things away. I keep them on the mat beside the back door & they're still earning their keep.

Today's carry is another jack that I forgot to carry when going through my Jacks.
A Queen #69. The Queen Catalog called it a "Straight Jack". The general shape of the knife has also been called a "Heavy Jack" or a "Swell End Jack".
But here it is with its D2 blades and amber stag bone covers:

I’m not usually a fan of stag handles so much, but that is a beautiful example

Was going to carry another from my GEC stainless pic from yesterday, but another GEC was calling for me when I was deciding this morning

It's a Bull Nose for a trip to town today. The Wagon Wheel Cafe is still hanging on by a thread so it's my duty to eat there as often as possible - a bit melodramatic I suppose but I've known the family and employees since 1989 - we're all a family. Coffee for breakfast.

When I read this, I decided to pose my knives on my old iron wagon wheel. For mojo and good karma toward your struggling cafe…

Excellent combo, Rick. But I am biased.

I have three pairs of Redwings which I have had re-soled. It’s worth it to me if the leather is still in good shape.

Two Yellow Delrins, 881 and 293.

Scout Trapper today. Sticking close to the homestead. Gonna try diced bacon with pancakes. Cindy chops/minces the bacon so I can put it in my mouth and move it around with my tongue and then swallow it. Tasty but kinda a pain in the gahoozel-hatch.

Thanks Jeff. It's a combination of things - cost of food affecting portion sizes, labor cost let alone finding people that want to work etc..

 

[SCFlyGuy]

echoscout thanks for the information on Queen. I’ll spend some time cleaning that one up.

BTW - Does anyone know why I am no longer able to insert quotes?
