What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Does a SAK count as traditional? This model is basically a classic scout pattern. I got a bunch of these Dutch contract knives for pennies, other than some scuffs and scratches, they were in pretty decent shape. It only took a bit of cleaning and sharpening to get them back in good nick.

Another Mediterranean day here in the City by the Bay 🌞. Highs in the mid seventies with a gentle breeze. Heading out shortly for our weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride with a nod to Stag Saturday one of these beauties. Have a great weekend folks! 😀

Had clam chowder and the seafood plate at the Wagon Wheel Cafe as planned yesterday but exceptionally hot horseradish based cocktail sauce had me toe tapping and tap dancing out the Wago Wheel Cafe's door. The cocktail sauce worked it's way into some scaring from my jaw replacement surgery so today, I'm staying home and having scrambled eggs for breakfast. While relaxing in my recliner, I'll chicken eye and coon finger this Rosecraft Pere David Stag Gunstock.

We left the house this morning at 5:55. I wanted to be on the water by 7:15. When we rolled up to the boat launch, the lake was frozen shore to shore!🤬 So we drove to another lake; same 💩! Now I’m at home sulking with this #72 in my pocket; of course I had my fishing knife, the Vic PioneerX with me this morning.

That's sad knowing how you like to fish John Crappie71 Crappie71 but funny at the same time - hence the laughing emoji.
 
You know what day it is? It's Schradurday over by here.

Scrimshaw Stockman. Also known as an 881 with scribbling on the scales.

Wenger Lumberjack.

Schrade Cut. Co. TL-29

It's had a hard life, but still snaps firmly and great steel.

I lean towards SAKs with a phillips screwdriver over those with corkscrews, but the Lumberjack doesn't have a toothpick, so...

Tomorrow I will start my yardwork. It will be the second year in a row that I have mowed my grass in February. I used to kick and scream if I had to do it in March. The worst part is, I could have actually mowed in January this year, but I’ve been putting it off. The blossoms are coming out on the trees every bit of a month early up here in the Pacific Northwest, at least as far as I can remember.

SAKs, other than those big whoppers with the one-hand opening blade, are considered traditional here.

A Schatt and Morgan Heritage series Woodsman. 1095 blade steel.
