What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[eschwebach]

Kris, love how you pair up a fixed blade with a folder ... makes me want more fixed blades!

Pretty cold for pictures today but I have been neglecting this fine slimline Brewer too long.

Strange angle but wanted to show the filework.

Beautiful knife John!

Case/Bose tribal spear, I've jonesed for one of these for a real long time.....Love it!

I am SO jealous. I love that knife!!!

Had the 55 today. Might be the last day for a little while though, my viper just arrived

Got this one today, funny that the blister pack has a big 1 next to the word Function pretty simplistic folder called a Day Packer by Swiss Army Knives
a little more handle than blade, makes for more control, grind is a little funky I guess it's a chiseledged version of theirs like their florist knives, arrived pretty sharp though.

For wooden Wednesday, carrying the Le Thiers Compact in juniper wood.

Yep, pretty much what everyone else has said, a beauty right there plus it has a peppery smell I'm told?

larson1122,

Great beer choice! I'm a big fan of New Glarus beer. Nice looking GEC too.

I feel your pain, sir! I carried my #47 today but I'm on the fence about which I like better between it and the #55... yeah, it's kind of a nice problem to have!

Thanks! I wish I could find it around here in MN. I had my fiance pick some up for me when she went to visit her family back in WI.

It is indeed my friend

Great picture as always, I really dig the green micarta. Kind of hoping GEC starts using more canvas as well.

Keep us posted on how your problem works out :thumbup:

Just got this beauty, my second GEC. It took me a while to get warmed up to traditional knives and now I don't think I'll ever leave home without one. When I put this knife in my hand it screams to be used.

Very nice, Kris! That burl looks particularly good.

I agree, love to see the Burl wood used in knife handles. In fact my first custom was a Burl handle. Nice!

Love the Vic day hiker...first time I've seen anyone mention it on here. It's in my etc rotation.

 

[mr_badexample]

Pretty good but it's no Douk Douk. At least this one isn't. Its very slim, light and sharp. I have no issues with light use. It's a fantastic slicer.

The small ones. What kind of bone is that? I forgot. Chestnut? Red red bone?

That looks a lot like a Budding - Grafting knife .
My all time favourite knife is a Tina Grafting knife with a chisel edge .
The short blade to long handle is in my view a great feature of those sorts of knives , and one that more knife makers should take notice of .
I didn't know victorinox made such a knife .
