What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

A small part of my local lake was open water, I'm looking forward to spring. No luck today, I'm a bit afraid the ice fishermen may have caught all the yellow perch. My favorite Rough Ryder knife has been in my pocket for a few days. The ghostfish? I think they call it. Appropriate since I didnt see any fish.

International Knife of the Week is a Zamorano stag folder (really a Salamandra 10012) that my wife gave me for Christmas 8 years ago (with the help of my daughter who was living in Spain at the time):

I had to look that one up. I like it but I had never seen one before. A single blade with two backsprings. Pretty cool knife.
 
I’ve not been around for a while but I wanted to pop in and share a few knives I’ve recently acquired.

Firstly, a beautiful custom sheepfoot in cocobolo from the talented Tristram of Huntsman knives here in Australia. I sent him some money and the coco and said surprise me. In that, he certainly did.

Next, I’ve had a couple of “grail” GEC’s for a long while I assumed I’d never get. The main one was always an 81 Abilene and as Lady Luck would have it I was fortunate enough to finally land one. Paired with it is the fantastic cowbell in some lacewood sheoak by the awesome BF maker @Redmeadow Knives . John is a gentleman and a true artist. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Next a lovely little bunny in sheoak by the up and coming maker @Justin Pospesel haven’t skun any rabbits with it yet but it will certainly get some use!

Lastly, one that just arrived. A knife I designed with Tristram to be carried and used for camping, bushcraft, work and hunting. The spear has a 90 degree spine and sparks a ferro rod nicely. An absolutely gorgeous and flawless piece in my eyes 🙂

Jack, first, good to hear from you mate.
It seems you have done very well for yourself in adding to your collection.
Tristram is a magician with steel and wood.👍🏻
