What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Ironbut]

The trees out back have been dropping walnuts for about a month, but now they're getting ripe, and they're really falling. When they hit the metal roof of the pole building, it sometimes sounds like a machine gun going off.

Sorry to hear about your dog's eye! Hope he recovers quickly.

Give that dog a hug from us.

Tyson and Jeff, thanks for the well-wishes for Gandalf.
He's no 'spring chicken" anymore (turns 15 next month, and the vet has told us in the past that his breed has a max lifespan of about 14 years), and he has a bunch of "little" physical problems, so I hope he can survive the stress of surgery.

Harry, that stag certainly has a unique frame pattern. What would you call it . . . . serpentine bullhead?

I was wondering the same thing about Old Engineer Harry's NKCA knife, Jeff. Unusual frame, but superb stag!!

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Marble's 5" Lady Leg knife with a stag spacer just below the pivot bolster:

Work Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider 4" wood lockback work knife:

- GT

I'm still totin' my 1975 Camillus 78, along with Red.

Some people describe it as a Reverse Gunstock and others as Humpback Whittler . It does have some look as a Gunstock knife but the end is tipped up at the end . It does have the blades of a Whittler . I saw where one person called it a Founders knife . I tend to think of it as a Gunstock Whittler with some decent Stag and very comfortable grip even though I will never use it as that .

Buck 301 Stockman from 2023 and an Ulster Barehead Jack made over 100 years earlier (possibly made during/right after WWI).

Love the 301's 420HC blades (the shape, thickness and grind! ...not a fan of the plastic scales though, but at least they are 'saw cut' textured) and the Ulster's amazing walk-n-talk and sublime federal shield!

Here it is almost bedtime and I haven't done my Monday BF posts yet!

Cleaning back porch and basement stairs, waiting around for the annual furnace check, paying bills on the bank's new "improved" website, reading 6 weeks' worth of news emails from where I used to work (found a 50% off coupon for Wolverine and/or Merrell boots), ordered new license tabs for the car and took wife's absentee ballot to the post office, and turned that post office trip into a 6-mile walk. My wife took our dog in for a check-up on an eye ulcer he's had for a couple of months, and found out his cornea has perforated sometime over the past 2 days. So he has to have the eye removed tomorrow morning. Eventful day...

SAK of the Week is a Top Ten SAK for me, a silver Alox Farmer (thanks, Tom):

Stockman of the Week is a Black Box Winchester Sowbelly (that didn't even make my Top Ten stockman list - that's crazy ):

- GT

Sorry to hear about your dog's eye GT 5K Qs . Hope everything works out ok for it.

Headed to town for errands and groceries. Will winterize the swamp cooler this afternoon. Skipping breakfast for lunch at Antonio's our local Italian restaurant. Carrying this 2AB.

I pulled this out for the big cats thread and decided that it should go in the pocket today.

Them is some seriously colorful hanging folders. Where’d you get ‘em?

Not sure. We have them at work. I can ask!

Another warm and sunny day here in the City by the Bay! Looks like around 80 degrees again and mild. Not much on the agenda but doing laundry. Keeping me company these two white bone beauties. Have a great day folks!
