  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

My Bauer pen knife and a Mod Outdoor Sportsman's with horizontal sheath made by Charlie Mike.

 
Lots to like about this very cool shadow trapper, including the interesting blade combination. :thumbup:
Thanks Stephen, its definitely one of my favorites. The secondary is more a combo of a sheepsfoot and wharncliffe but that's the way Mike did/does them. It's also shorter than the main blade so it can sit lower without the tip contacting the spring. Here are Mike's pics.

 
Vic Troubleshooter and 194OT.

Is the Troubleshooter manufactured any longer? I don't see them very much. Lots of nifty gadgets.
 
Also carrying a Magnum today! Here's a terrible picture of a gorgeous acrylic...

GEC Northfield #22 Magnum in Sea Glass acrylic

It was a tough choice between the Sea Glass and Root Beer Float scales--both look especially good with that cloud shield! :cool:

I really like the type of acrylics GEC uses for those effects. Looks good in many forms. I have versions with Blue Tuna, Church Glass, Crushed Sea Shell, and Tortoise Shell.

No, both the reg Vic model and the Marlboro branded Vic are discontinued. It does have a really handy tool set with the pliers/scissors/metal file combo in a nice 5 layer size...

I've seen pictures of most of those styles online and must say, you have an excellent selection of acrylics in your stable, Trand! I've always wanted a pocket knife with genuine tortoise shell (kind of keeping an eye out for antique pre-ban shell to salvage and get made into slabs, but... just a dream so far!); perhaps a GEC acrylic would be the next best thing in the meanwhile... :)

The #22 is my first acrylic from GEC and I am very impressed by how good they look and feel! I'd buy more for sure.

I'm more of a Duke Blue kind of fan, but no doubt that knife looks amazing - "Crimson Tide" or not! :D

Thank you Jone.

Mine for the day - simple and small…

I really like that lil' stagilicious and would love to know more . . . . please! :thumbup::D


Pete - I love your picture, just above, really well done. :thumbup::)

That is real nice! I like how he's tucked everything away on such a narrow frame:)
