What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Gary, I'm very struck on Sandvik, a pleasure to use and sharpen. I hope you don't sell on those Chambriards, you'll only miss them! Another feature I like is that the handles are thick and well radiused-very comfortable to use. They are also easy to open but hard to shut, a very good trait in a knife. I had Le Compact with me all day, this one in stag.

Regards, Will

Carried a larger knife while out hunting this morning, but for the rest of the day, it's these two:

Is that British or Belgian? The WIP looks very interesting :thumbup: Your comments appreciated, thanks. Belgian; the lower knife is unmarked. I guess I used the "British" nomenclature in the generic :) I don't know much about these knives except there are British army knives similar to them, what would be a quick history of the type? I have one stamped with a broad arrow, so I know that one is English, but it is a cruder example than these two, to be direct.

gr8dismal, this link http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...at-Went-Through-A-War?p=11787450#post11787450 has a discussion of these knives. Note post #14, which has a picture of mine. It's an absolute dead ringer for yours, even down to the little stamped ridge on the bail, and is also unmarked. As I stated, I have always wondered about its origin. Where did you find yours?

p.s.: Mr. W.G., is that you? :cool:
