What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I've been collecting knives for the better part of 30+ years. Mostly fixed blades & one-handed opening folders, although I do have quite a bit of manufactured Traditional knives. This is my very first hand made traditional knife & I love it. It was made by Matt Selfe of @Selfe Made Knives in the UK. I'm really happy with it. I like that I can pinch it open too, because I have a bad habit of biting my nails🤦🏼‍♂️. It has a half-stop & the pull isn't too hard. Very smooth action overall. He used RWL-34 & green micarta. I really love this blade profile too. It's so useful for my needs & easy to sharpen. OAL is 7.25"
It's called The Native

It's been a busy weekend...
My mother in-law twisted both ankles in a fall, luckily nothing is broken. It could've been alot worse.
Mrs. Hoovie & I took her some meals so she doesn't have to worry about cooking anything & can focus on resting. The @glennbad Schrade helped to cut up some flowers to cheer her up.

Later on this afternoon I went down to my parents to help my dad fill out some of the washed out areas & repair the foundation for their house from the previous storm damage. (Still repairing things from hurricane Helene)
The BF knife continues to ride shotgun in pocket.
It's been a while since I've had to mix concrete/mortar mix in a wheelbarrow. Can't say I missed it...

I hope y'all are doing well 👍
Glad your mother-in-law was not hurt any worse. Hopefully the flowers brightened her day.
 
Thanks for the confirmation, Jeff, on weird postimage behavior recently; glad I'm not the only one, but sad it's affecting you. I had also proceeded past the warning and been blocked from loading a photo. But I think just before bedtime last night it started to work for me. I'll try to post a photo here:


Jeff, I hope you enjoy your time in Houston. Is it a "destination wedding", or does your niece live there?

Never had to grit my teeth and attend a far away destination wedding, fortunately. But two in Michigan, one in Iowa, one in Florida, and now this one because the nieces, nephews, and/or their spouses to be live there.

I'm beginning to understand why my parents chose to stay home the last couple.😏

Man that sucks, but good it wasn't a break!

Good on you for helping out family so much!
 
Picked up a half dozen of these NOS Buck 500 Duke knives at Juniper Junction (a small gas station, convenience store, sporting goods store) in Adin, CA the other day. I'm toting one today - the others will be Christmas gifts to nephews and friends. Looking outside, the sun is shining bright but it's colder than a girl friend whose birthday you've forgotten - icy!!!! Sausage and waffles for breakfast.

Good afternoon fellow porchsters. Overcast, but warm, around 50F today.

Ever have one of those days when a knife just won't be photographed? I took about 20 pics of this 59 in various poses and this is the only one even close to porch quality. The rest were blurry or washed out. Or maybe its me that's blurry and washed out 🥴
