What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Can't go wrong with any of those, nice to see you scored the ones you were after. I've struck out on the barlows, maybe go with the blueberry?
Really happy with the ebony. Nice medium pulls on both blades with decent snap. No complaints from me.

The blueberry might be going to GEC for warranty work. The pen has NO snap when opening or closing. 😔

Blueberry would’ve been an easy choice if not for the pen blade.
 
This morning I pulled out my big ol' Queen stockman that's just about the same age as I am. Lovin' the real winterbottom bone!

Glad the ebony is nice. The one I received has medium pulls and good snap on both blades as well. Sorry to hear the barlow secondary is not functioning well. Kind of strange, I have S model GEC knives that I can't figure why they are, then they let something go that has a significant issue. I do have a red sawcut barlow on the way, I hope it doesn't have any issues.
 
Great photo…I like it. 😎


Snowed overnight - three inches. Only shoveled the sidewalks this morning. Not going anywhere today so a knife isn't needed but habit is habit and I've slipped a Lambfoot in my pocket for carry today. Sausage and eggs-up for breakfast.

I don’t like this “who can get snow the lastest into 2025” game we seem to be playing…I don’t like it at all. 🤣😂
Getting some snow now as we speak. :/

You can never go wrong with a lambsfoot!

I don't care if Monday'a blue,
Tuesday's blue and Wednesday too...
(Maybe I didn't remember the Cure lyrics exactly ;) , but this FJ will stay in my pocket for some days).
Enjoy your week, folks!

Beautiful, crisp photo, Digger! Well done.

I had better luck crappie fishing today than I did trout fishing yesterday. Kept 9 nice ones. I didn’t get a before pic, but these are the fillets. I’d rather eat crappie than trout anyway.😁 Carrying Tidioute #39 today.

Absolutely agree. Crappie is yummy.

That knife is not crappy. That is all. 😁

It is strange that they let these go out of the factory in this condition. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve flushed the joints and the pen blade is a little snappier now. Still light, but has much better action now.

Hopefully your red sawcut will be a homerun. They sure look like they’ll be the best of this run.
