What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

This week I'm ignoring my usual weekly rotation schedule and carrying a bunch of relatively new knives, most of which I got back in December, many as Christmas or birthday gifts (even from myself 🤓 ).
Today I'll post a couple of Rough Ryder canoes.
Blue Mule G10 canoe:

Faux tortoiseshell bow canoe. I like the acrylic tortoise shell, and the shield, but I still don't know whether I'll end up liking or loathing the handle shape and blade angles. Sure doesn't feel much like a canoe to me.

I’m not sure what I did for the above quote and couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Sorry,

Anyhow today was a simple day around the house so kept it simple. Recycled picture.05535609-26B0-4B07-8A24-45E37B403730.jpeg
 
Imperial USA today. Sharp edge and crisp snap on these blades.

I love that old Imperial! 😎

Jigged Brown Scout Trapper for carry here at the house today. Cindy's tooth extraction went well yesterday. She'll be limited to scrambled eggs this morning for breakfast and that's what I'll have.
I'm glad to hear Mrs. Cindy's tooth extraction went well Ed.

SW Everlastingly Sharp 881Y and Vic. at a canoe launch on the Kish.
Soon.

I supposed Everlastingly Sharp works because I never cut cardboard with my pocket knives. Razor blade box cutters do that.
Nice combo! & I agree, tearing down any amount of boxes calls for a different tool. That stuff can be almost like cutting through light sandpaper!
I've literally used it to remove burrs off of rough grinds on metal work before 😬

I can't seem to kick this one out of my pocket.🤦‍♂️

I don't blame you!

Totin' my Chris Montgomery made custom fixed blade and a Northwoods Ocoee Jack in Desert Ironwood for Tuesday. 😊
This pairing fits nicely in a leather fixed blade/folder pocket sheath that I have.

Chris once participated frequently in this totin' thread and when he was making this knife, he would occasionally show his progress. I got more and more interested as it neared completion and dropped him a PM, asking if he would consider selling it. I expected the answer to be no and was surprised when he replied and priced it to me. Featured in a knife magazine some years ago.... sad to admit that I can't recall which magazine ...... Knife World seems right.

Damascus and Koa Wood Bird and Trout Knife specs :
Damascus of 1084 and 15N20 in a twisted W's pattern.
Ferrule is wrought iron with a coined 416 spacer.
3 1/2" blade and 7 7/8” OAL.
You should definitely try to get a hold of that magazine it was from! That would be great to go along with it! Spectacular knife btw 😉😎
 
Two categories in my weekly rotation schedule are SAK and Stockman. I usually post the weekly representatives of that pair of categories on the same day. This week, I'm not using my rotation schedule as I make an opportunity to carry some of my most recent acquisitions, but I can post a SAK (well, a Victorinox) and a couple of stockman examples, both sowbellies.
Victorinox serrated folding paring knife (a Christmas gift to my wife and me from Gandalf, our old dog):

Rough Ryder sowbelly stockman models, a faux tortoiseshell (Christmas gift from my daughter in November when they visited) and a Wasp, black/yellow micarta (another gift to me from Gandalf):
