What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Amir Fleschwund]

Large Stockman and a Back Pocket XX from 2011. I hand rubbed a satin finish on all of the metal parts of these two stainless knives.
Had four more inches of snow to shovel again this morning .......... snowed every day for the past seven days.

I always liked the looks of the BP. Smooth bone looks good on it.

Out of season for a Farmer's Jack.
But we can consider it a reminder that 'Ol Man Winter cannot stay forever.

How's the action, and do the springs hold up well on these? I always wanted a Buck Auto. I just never pulled the trigger on one.

I have two a 112+ and a 110 DA that I bought years ago before Buck started selling autos. Both fire out fast and lock up tight with no wobble. Don’t to how well the springs hold up as I seldom carry them. I do know that Buck will repair theirs but my red 110s warranty was voided when it was modified. Try one the fidget factor is a hoot.

This one again...

A couple of new to me stag pieces today to go along with the 68. I'm assuming the big cigar is a Queen but not sure. My GEC storage is overflowing. I guess it's time to stop buying.

Like sf fanatic said, they fire smooth and lock up tight. This one isn’t the fastest auto I have, but it does seem to be getting faster the more I play with it. I don’t know about spring longevity; I have never heard of any problems. They do have the Buck warranty though. Anyway, I like this one and will probably buy a 112 Auto Elite. If you like coil spring autos, you should go for it.

Another snowy, cold day here. Giant Mouse GMF1-F is on my belt. The turkeys were not afraid to get too close today. They're pretty hungry.

I have always loved your GMF1-F and also the pocket sheath for it. Please tell us a little bit about your strop ...... home made ?

Ellis, it looks like your forum stockman has nice bone color to me.

I always liked the looks of the BP. Smooth bone looks good on it.

Thank you Jeff.

 

[Primble]

Handsome pair of Case knives. The satin finish looks great, I think a game changer compared to the shiny Case stainless. Good looking bone on both too.

Thank you my friend. I like them better after I spent some time on the metal finish.
Your 86 is beautiful !

Thanks, Rob. It's a pretty handy knife and M390 is no slouch for a blade. The sheath can be in the pocket or worn on a belt.
I bought that strop online years ago. I don't recall where. I use Chromium Oxide Green Compound on it. If I can remember where I got it I'll shoot you a DM.

That one with the squared off blade is super cool! Looks like a castrator to me. Do you know much about it? Can you tell what the etch says?

For the first time in 43-years, our home is empty. This past week, "Utah" the doxie has not felt well. Late yesterday we took her to our Vet and she said there was no coming back for "Utah" so Cindy and I made the difficult decision to put her down. She has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Hopefully, we can find an older rescue dog. Cindy is beside herself. Neither of us got much sleep last night - our bedmate was absent. No knife pictured this morning but I'm carrying the Case Jack I carried yesterday. Don't feel like breakfast. We'll most likely go to the Wagon Wheel Cafe later for something to eat.

I'm sincerely sorry to hear about Utah's passing Modoc ED .
That decision isn't an easy one to make but you did what's best for her. I've been through a similar situation. We hate to make the tough decisions but we are care takers for them & they are family. We always have to do what's right for them no matter how hard it may be.
Just remember they will be eagerly waiting for us across the rainbow bridge, just as loyal as they always are.

Sending smoke & prayers for you & Cindy,

-Zach-

It's been a cold & wet weekend here in the southeast. One of the few occasions that's appropriate for the lined leather jacket my dad gave me years ago. The Forum Stockman has been a great carry.



Our K9 likes the cold but not wet & cold...
She does not approve of ice on the whiskers, I agree

A Buck 112 for 1/12. Now, if I just had 25 of them.........

Ice and/or icicles on the beard and mustache whiskers is ever so much better than icicles on the upper lip or chin, however.
At least I think so.
