What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Gevonovich]

Another oldie, but, goodie!:thumbup:

Thank you, sir!

I've always wondered if those Ames in Chicopee, MA were related to the Ames who had the renowned shovel works in North Easton, MA which is only a few miles away from me. Similar concerns, overlapping times of operation.

Nice old knife. :thumbup:

Nate, this knife was an import from Germany. I have not researched the history of Ames in a long time and have forgotten most of what I read. I seem to remember a lot of the civil war cutlery was made by Ames, but how this imported Ames is related, I cannot remember.
I just found this:

What is this beautiful knife?

And of course, more importantly, it has Bullwinkle's pic on it! :thumbup:

I have to admit SAK Guy that I'm kind of fond of Bullwinkle

Bet there won't be no patina allowed on the Bullwinkle blade.

I was thinkin the same thing at first Primble but the spear would be such a good food prep blade

Oh, what to do what to do

Paul, take some really nice pics and save them! Then use it at will

I must agree, Jake, nice "feathers" on that owl!

I couldn't agree more, that lanyard is gorgeous and really makes that knife even more photogenic.

I love stopping by this thread.

Falcons, Dan Burke and MT Damascus Dogs + many other wondrous great photos.

No envy, just joy that you share your good fortune in pics that I would not otherwise see.

Beautiful pair, Andi! Looks like those two cover most anything.

 

[Humppa]

Thanks Gev - Much appreciated! Indeed they cover most anything

Care to tell us who made the knife or just a little bit about the knife? It sure has some pretty handles and nice patina!:thumbup:

What is this beautiful knife?

Thank you. It's a 3 1/2" shadow pattern, clip point with Sambar Stag made by Brent Cramer.

The wear is just fantastic on this knife. You can see the use on the blade, and the pattern on the handle shows just how much it's been carried. All of my knives still look fairly new other than some patina on various carbon blades. Give my knives a few years and maybe they'll start to approach this. The SAKs will probably take the longest as they're built like tanks.
