What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Amir Fleschwund]

Love, love, love that STA-SHARP!!!!


The shields were so awesome on these knives. Wonderful bone as well.

Thanks, Buzz!
After your string of awesome camp knives, I had to pull it out today. Takes the place of my usual SAK with more old time class.

Makes me think of Jose Feliciano...come on baby light my fire!View attachment 2947704

Handsome knife with a wicked looking clip blade, Bob. Is it a custom and what is the scale material?
Seems we don't see an abundance of sleeveboard patterns here. I'm attracted to the pattern.

I went with a Micarta Monday GEC 56 and a stag Kissing Cranes today while working on an old farmhouse in the country.
Posed the knives on a window sill of the massive and ancient barn. It is so peaceful out there and reminds me of my small
town upbringing and spending time at childhood friends farms.

I am doing a mini trapper challenge the rest of the week. I only have one.

The sun is trying to shine at my house here in the City by the Bay! No pressing issues today just looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Keeping me company with a nod to Black Friday two classics. Have a great weekend folks!

Schrade in the pocket as I picked up Bear’s first pocket knife from the post office. Had a garage door spring fail the other day. It made it 24 years so I can’t complain too much.

Congrats to you on your grandson, and to him for the sweet knife you got for him!
I enjoyed your post about your trip that culminated with the arrival of Bear. I especially liked seeing the Farmall H just like one I drove a lot growing up on a Michigan dairy farm, and seeing the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD, which I saw while attending a friend's wedding in the nearby village of Corsica in the mid-70s, and saw again when we went to a bunch of Laura Ingalls Wilder sites the summer after my daughter finished 5th grade in 1999.

Stellar stag pair, Steve!

My brother and his son got me a ticket to see Billy Strings in Milwaukee last night.

Glad you had a good time! Hard to believe that guy was born in Lansing, MI which I don't think of as the heart of bluegrass country.

Gary love the BOC video! Saw them years ago at the Old Waldorf Theatre. They were playing under their original name Soft White Underbelly. My friend and comedian Dr. Gonzo was their opening act so I got to meet them backstage. Nice guys!

Sounds like a memorable experience, Dan!

A true compliment Gary, coming from a man who truly knows his knives.
Both are in my never give away drawer.

Thanks for the kind words, Bob.
I really don't know much about knives, but I certainly know a lot more now than I did when I showed up here 11 years ago! Thanks, everybody!

I picked up a RR canoe yesterday on the 127 yard sale and wondered instantly if you had one like it. I’ll post it later and tag you in it to see if you do. It’s an older one. It looks like it may be from the early 2010s.

My first canoe was a RR with amber jigged bone covers like yours, but mine doesn't have the same kind of shield as yours. Nice find!

Thanks much Gary!
Hope you are well.

Thanks, Jeff; I'm quite well, or maybe it's well done with the hot dry summer so far!

Thanks Gary, I really hope so.

Thank you very much Gary, they are the result of my search within the European Union.

Excellent results of your searching, José!

View attachment 2946514i have been carrying this 78 marrow bone for a week,i may be one of the few that like the 78 barlow/or something else,mine was more a flat bone with strait edges so I smoothed the edges and applied both red and brown dye to give it a mahogany look,the original dye jobs was a cool looking blue metallic look on one side but the other side was brown so I think I fixed that with this dye job.so now it is a feral marrow bone

That mahogany feral marrow bone looks fantastic!

You certainly post classy knives each day!

Probably because #1 it is Bone and #2 it is supposed to look like Stag . They do make some models with Burnt Bonstag the I think looks better . I did not see it as an option for the full sized Trapper .

Harry

In pictures online, I like the burnt bonestag better, too, Harry, although I don't think I've ever seen any in person.

Love the jigging on these two. Neighborhood had some new visitors this evening. Walked in the scorching sun today with the family in the Gravette Days parade.View attachment 2946781View attachment 2946782View attachment 2946783View attachment 2946784View attachment 2946785View attachment 2946786View attachment 2946787View attachment 2946789View attachment 2946791

As always, splendid photos!
I especially like the geometric sculpture with nested truncated octohedra!

Thanks, GT. I’m particularly fond of the black palm, it has great character.

The older I get, the more I resemble your vintage knife, José!

Another Ablett today.View attachment 2946986

Superb blade combo, IMHO, Bob!

I am sure that I will buy a Large Stockman as well... Or Sodie... Or both...

I'm sure you'll enjoy either, or both!

Western 742, Toferner, Western 062.
Imperial Engineers knife.

View attachment 2947017

Nice bunch of blades!
I'm quite sure that the Imperial is a Navy knife because it has the pen blade instead of an awl.

Man that’s a real looker! Your friend did excellent work.

Thank you. I agree. His talent is incredible. He is a world class engraver. Literally.

 

[Old Engineer]

Carried these 2 at different times . The big one to coffee and pie with friends and the Trapper after we got home and I started working .

That Sterling Bullet Shield does tarnish .
