What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[gr8dismal]

Queen #2. I still haven't gotten around to re-pointing the broken pen blade. Man, do I like this pattern, though -- enough that I might make a new one in D2 my Christmas present to myself

--Mark

That's a classy shiv. Really nice:thumbup:

I'm a tin horn with a tin ear and a tin knife:

Stamped "Richland" over "Sheffield"; one-piece sheet metal bolster and scale with some brown vinyl stretched over it. Good blade, fun knife.

Could that be "Richards" rather Richland", got a light-house symbol which looks more like a lamp-post?

Carrying these two today, my Boker Jack and a Wostenholm Stockman, gifted by two very fine gentlemen

These are an excellent and overlooked pattern. I have two, one in Winterbottom Bone and the other D2 Amber Carved Stagbone, oddly enough both have Pen blades without much point, I too need to rectify that! Also, the Forum Knife 2008 a Northwoods Small Stockman was based on this exact frame, but with stag handles.

Handsome knife, great series of photos, and you have my complete moral support

-I questioned it myself and couldn't quite make out the stamp- it is as you describe and I'm happily corrected

That is a beautiful pair! Makes me want to add that powderhorn (right name?) to my wish list.

Thank you, Duane. It is my first hawk and I think I'm hooked. It will rip through mail, boxes, and it's pinchable.

does that say 'boker usa' on the tang?


today, a #7 opinel

again

sak guy... douk douks are fantastic knives. is that the mini or the regular? i have a regular douk and it is unobtrusive because it is so slim. i imagine the mini version is even less obtrusive.

recently acquired a three blade colonial, TL-29 with a hawk as the third blade, finding it handy, also:thumbup:

saves wear&tear on the spear point.

Thanks yup, Powderhorn, Pattern#12... It gets more carry time than all others besides the little #25, which is with me almost every day

Haha -- well, more classy than a ground-down old file, anyway. (My dad used to make knives that way, and I joked about them being 'shivs')

These are an excellent and overlooked pattern. I have two, one in Winterbottom Bone and the other D2 Amber Carved Stagbone, oddly enough both have Pen blades without much point, I too need to rectify that! Also, the Forum Knife 2008 a Northwoods Small Stockman was based on this exact frame, but with stag handles.

There's a bit of luck for me then -- is the new one as pleasantly slim as the old one? I noticed they retooled (pen is in front of the main, now) and wondered if, like Case, their new offerings were thicker than the old ones. One of the nice things about this #2 jack is it's a smidgen thinner than, say, a Buck 303, Schrade 34OT, or Case 6344.

Thanks,

does that say 'boker usa' on the tang?

Yes and its looks like 9215 ( not sure about the 9 ) with a tree in the middle on the numbers on the back of the blade. I don't know much about Boker yet.
