What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[The Fort]

Lance, very nice in the brown. The checkering makes for a nice grip too.

Thanks! Bob, right? It is actually called Black Sandalwood, but you’re correct, it is actually a deep rich brown. Lance

By hand using diamond sharpeners, stones, and abrasive paper last. Not much chance of butchering a knife if you do it by hand and inspect often. Speed kills !
I will work on a knife for no longer than an hour and come back and pick up where I left off another time, again and again. Patience is the key

Thank you

That is a pretty nice amber color. Personally, I might try to find an ugly knife to dye. But tomorrow, I might change my mind !
Decisions, decisions !

The backs side has some room for improvement

In the field today for a nice change up

Drive safe Ed. I’ve ridden that stretch of highway often heading up to visit my brother. Of all that was during the summer.

Just back thirty minutes ago. Once we came out of Canby and climbed about six hundred feet the driving pucker was a solid eight all the way.

A beautiful 98 SFO whittler. Love the snakewood on these.

Case large stockman for Tuesday. Brushed satin blades and back springs and more of a semi gloss finish that I rubbed out on the bolsters.
Dyed medium brown deep canyon bone over what was bright orange. The under tones of the orange gives the brown a nice warm color.
Defined all of the swedges to give a sharper transition ........ I reckon you could say Primble custom Case.

Well, dang! All this time, I thought your knives were Photoshop'd.

This from a CALTRANS highway camera. It was like this both ways and snowing like the blazes for almost the whole trip.

First time carrying since receiving it from @Travman . I asked for a red wine color like a 70's Case. Travis absolutely delivered. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Travis. @Travman

Looks really nice to my eye !

You did an amazing job on that knife! I love everything about it. Lance

Thank you Lance ….. I am pleased with the way it turned out. I was actually considering a return on it before I went to work on it. Bright orange, black and natural white bone on the mark side.

The backs side has some room for improvement View attachment 2780747

Yes I reckon it does. Good luck !

At least you can still see past the hood ornament.
I never liked not being able to see as far as the hood ornament ... TBH when the visibility is bad enough not to see much past the hood or less, it b time to park it. "Better late than never", after all.

Honestly, the 47 did it better… at least in my opinion

Will, that is a wonderful compliment to this knife. @Cosimo De Benedetto truly makes inspiring knives. His attention to detail and craftsmanship are something that boggles my mind. He did this work with minimal input from me. He just knows what to do and how to design and combine materials to make a great knife. It’s an honor that I don’t take lightly to carry and use his knives. This particular knife was a wonderful gift from @Rufus1949.

That's some knife, some maker and some man who gifted it
