What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

One on right most far reminds me of my 1989 KHS Montana Summit, in the then KHS factory racing colors.
From front it looks raspberry/hot pink.

I've only put around 60,000 miles on it (additional miles on my other bikes, and post 2003 my first trike, when in Florida, Iowa, and other states when resetting my weekly clock when driving the expedite box truck) since 2002.
The trailer (dual kiddy hauler modified to cargo hauler) comes in handy for groceries, other shopping, laundry, and carrying camping fishing, and archery gear.
Before my stoke murdered those intentions, I was intending to ride it down the Great Divide trail, then take the southern cross country route to the Florida Atlantic coast, then the Atlantic Coast route north to Maine, then the northern cross country route west to Washington and the Pacific Ocean, then take the Louis& Clark trail back to Idaho, after I retired.
I wasn't going to rush it, maybe take a couple years of my retirement for the ride.
I even got rid of everything "Shimano" (except the oval crank rings) replacing it with Sun Tour, Sachs, and Dia Comp, and upgraded to 3x7 gearing from 3x6, in preparation for that ride. (also added fenders, 3 water bottle cages, rear rack, and other things for touring.) My racing days have been over since before 1974.
Oh well. Maybe in the next "life" ... 😁🤞
Wow, you have done some traveling.
Sorry to hear your planned trip did not come to fruition.

Wow, you have done some traveling.
Benefit of being Car Free.
Before my stroke a 60 - 70 mile ride was a "short trip". Inside 30-35 miles away was easy biking distance.
(especially in Florida and Kansas. 🙄 The tallest "hills" in Florida are bridges. In Kansas the tallest hills were/are made by ants ... at least from Wichita to Colorado.)
Post stroke ... not so much. 😭👎

Huntsman is back on the belt drop.

Totin Schrade Jacks ~ 233, and a 194 which I cobbled out of two broken ones sold as a package deal an online auction website. One had a broken blade, the other, a broken spring.
Off to rehearsal with this guitar.

Wenger Handyman with some guitars I am not playing on this very foggy morning. Foggy until you get out of the lowground.
