What makes the ideal Turkey Hunting Knife ? Last week I used a old Third Version Buck 112 in Segua wood. Or my name for it - Ole Lucky 112. 300Bucks

I gotta agree with Ken on that one Lamertiana. Any guess on the age? I could be way off (wouldn't be the first time) but it just looks like late 1800's - early 1900's.... Very cool

This 881 and I have become very good friends since I got it. I've had a lot of knives that I really like, but very few that I have "bonded" with. This is one of the few....

That's a Southington with straight line stamp. LG4 says 1867-1914, while Goins says that they got out of the pocketknife business in 1905. It's been around for a while.
 
This Cripple Creek gunstock was waiting for me in my mailbox today when I got home for lunch. It's my first C.C. and I really like the heft and feel of the knife. Very smooth half stops. The Menefee is sitting on my desk for now but I'm sure it will shortly find its way back into my pocket.

Yes:thumbup:
Long pulls on BOTH blades note:D

Today the postman dropped off a Böker Lockback, 4.25" closed. Carbon blade (note!)with Washboard Bone. This knife is FANTASTIC, the bone a rich chocolate colour,no gaps,blade wobble and smooth lockup. Nor is it heavy,slim and relatively light. The Bökers I've got hold of lately show really good fit,better than CASE and on the Bay it came under 45 USD with international shipping.A hidden gem.
 
What a great forum. I have been looking around here for some time and thought it might be time to jump in to the mix. I really enjoy my Ulster which was given to me by my grandfather about 30 years ago. There are quite a few miles on her, but she is tried & true.

Jeff, that is a great old classic jack. I'll bet it feels just right in your pocket. Keep it sharp.
 
This wouldn't classify as a slipjoint and not sure it would classify as a traditional, but I carried my 156OT Little Finger in my pocket (in the sheath of course) today. Since I didn't have a belt on I couldn't hang it on the belt. I really like that little fixed blade; I'd have to say it is my very favorite fixed blade knife.

My dad just arrived for a visit and in his honor I've been toting a knife he gave me, my Buck 55 ...

I'm mainly a slipjoint guy, and 9 days out of 10, you'll find me with a multi-blade knife in my pocket. But I like this 55 for a few reasons. One, while small it really is a great little pocketknife. Based on what I've read on the knife forums, I know a lot of Buck 110 fans buy a 55 and find it much smaller than they thought it would be. Still, it really feels great in the hand and - for me - it's easy to make numerous different types of cuts. Two, on a more sentimental note, the 55 reminds me of my youth; specifically the time growing up when I worshiped its big brother, the Buck 110. I knew the 110 was the greatest knife ever, and I could spy one on a guy's hip from 200 paces. Eventually, Santa brought me one and I carried it around for a year or two before deciding it was just too big and heavy. I think I traded it in middle school to a kid down the street for a Mexican switchblade (still kick myself over that dumb a$$ move).
