What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[screened porch]

This is a bit of a mixed message photo. On the one hand, why do I try to determine my favorite stockman? On the other hand, what should I take to show off at the farm? (Assuming I get there and the volunteers aren't rained out.)
It's pretty hard to get away from the Case 47, especially this one.

Today as a change of pace from my normal EDC,a Buck 501, is this Schatt & Morgan single blade gunstock pattern.

The rain's easing up, so I guess we'll just put on our rain coats & go for our daily walk.

Case Knife of the Week is a yellow synthetic wharncliffe/pen EO copperhead (thanks, Steve). The first time I ever saw an example of this model (in a photo), it got my heart racing, and I still think it's breathtaking!

Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is the small model from a family of Imperial stockmans (thanks, Mark):

Is that a factory EO or a GT EO?

Is that a factory EO or a GT EO?

That's factory, Jeff.
(I think the EZ 49 on the tang stamp indicates that it's an easy-open copperhead. I don't know if all of the EO models had wharncliffe main, nor if all the wharncliffe main copperheads had an EO notch.)

Ulster Cocobolo Linesman.
I guess it's not technically a TL-29, because the .mil issued a bluprint for the Tool-Linesman Pattern #29 to be followed for the military version. This unusual one varies from the .mil contract knives in that it has a rounded butt.
You can see the benefit in that when you use it as a screwdriver.

I had to send two Leatherman Tools back to test their warranty. My old original "Tool" had lost a nut on the hinge pin. I expected them to just screw a new nut on it, but they gave me a brand new one.
With the Skeletool, I'd broken off a jaw on the pliers, so they gave me a new one as well. This is the CX version, which means the blade is154CM, same as our Buck Forum Knife, rather than the usual stainless steel. Good steel that holds it's edge.
Thumbs up for Leatherman's warranty service.

I can answer one of those questions. All wharncliffe copperheads are not EO's.

I'm taking the Waiter to the dentist in a couple of hours. Not sure why, as she isn't known to serve wine during appointments

Thanks for the informative example, Mike.
Does anyone have an EO copperhead with a NON-wharncliffe blade?

Cindy was up most of the night with an upset stomach and throwing up so we're on the farm for the day. ???? for breakfast. I'm carrying this Case XR Crossroads with Green/Black Laminate Wood covers today. A really well put together solid knife. I've got three (2 of each for a total of six) of these XR Cross Roads with various cover materials/colors and couldn't be more pleased with them. This one fits right in with Wooden Wednesday.
