What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Today it's Le Compact in stag, such a great little knife, if I had to close the door on the rest, this one might hold it's place, just so much going with it, sharp razor steel, contoured stainless bolsters, gently curved handle with fairly matched stag scales, file worked backspring, all good stuff in a small package that people are not alarmed at seeing when you draw her out.

Chambriard do make a nice knife. I wish they did one the size of the Compact with a corkscrew, but we can't have everything. I've had a snakewood Compact on my want list for months now... Beautiful pieces.

Nice, snakewood is pretty stuff, I would think that the corkscrew would be tough on the compact to make and use, but never hurts to ask, I'd email them and see what they say

Mine's Bark River's version of a Fiddleback Recluse. You needn't worry about working the knife, Ironwood is as tough as nails!!

True enough, can't hurt to ask :) I like pretty much all of the handle materials they offer (makes me smile that they refer to stag as "stag wood"), but snakewood would match my cane.
