Like the clip Andi, nice set-up :thumbup:



The Gubben was just the name of one of the Brusletto models in the 1990's Brian. By chance, I'll be seeing the person I gave the knife to later, so I'll see if I can get a pic :thumbup:

These two for me today, my Radio Jack, and the 22 Magnum I received from Stephen (Old & In The Way) the other day :)


Jack - I somehow missed this earlier today. The two pair well together. :thumbup:
 

Nice Sam :thumbup:

Jack that is a sweet Gubben! I really like the handle shape and scandi grind. The sheath looks superior to mine. Very nice. May have to track that one down. :thumbup:

Not mine anymore I'm afraid, but a very well-made knife for sure. Brusletto stopped making this model a long time ago, but I'll keep my eye out for you :)


Great pic Paul :thumbup:

Very nice magnum! :thumbup:

Jack - I somehow missed this earlier today. The two pair well together. :thumbup:

Thanks guys :)

I'm over in Sheffield today, just up the road from a pub that was once known here as 'The American Embassy'. Lots of brave old men walking round, proudly wearing their medals, after laying wreaths at the war memorial in front of Sheffield City Hall.

 
Thanks Jone. I think it's safe to say our tastes are very similar. I have at least four of your former knives, if not more. :)
Is that little slab of titanium from Daniel Fairly? I have something like that from him. It's almost a kiridashi but not quite. Very handy.

Can't help we have such great taste. The titanium slab is just a pry bar - it's handy little jobs around the house and saves my husband's knives and screwdrivers! :D. Got it here from a member who was making them awhile back. Great little tool.


Very nice!

Queen Swell Center Whittler is with me today


Love that knife and picture.


Just a little Western today…

That must be a wondrous site to see. Those brave old gents have a lot to be proud of, especially today. On a knife related note, I love your picture and the matching 1944 dates are a nice tribute to those who served and endured so much 70 years ago. Well done my friend. :thumbup:

Another beauty Gev! The shield on that one is the perfect compliment to the pattern's shape. Very nice, and another new brand to me.
 
Wow, G - for some reason, I can't stop staring at that beauty! :thumbup:

I feel the same way about your Lon Humphreys knives

Thank you, Sir!

That's a great looking knife Gev!! How big is it closed?

Thanks very much, Trand! Coming from the guy who has them all...that means a lot. It is 3.5 closed.
 
Hardly them all Gev :) just the new ones. I don't get out to knife shows to see them in person and don't know enough about the old ones to make informed decisions on those online. I do admire the ones you and others post in Old Knives though :)
 
A lot of character in that beauty Gev:thumbup:

Thank you Stephen, the spanner/wrench has the War Department stamp on the reverse.
 
Hello!

Took out this traditional "Trattenbacher Taschenfeitel" again:

original.jpg


This was one of the Feiteln my granddad gave to me as a child, one that did not see much use (the ones that did are not around any more).

The "Trattenbacher Taschenfeitel" is a simple pattern coming from the Austrian region "Eisenwurzen", next to which I grew up. It is linked to the village Trattenbach and dates back to the 16th Century.

Best regards,
Alex
 
Thank you Stephen, the spanner/wrench has the War Department stamp on the reverse.

The significance of the British Army clasp knife was apparent to me, but I wondered about the wrench and thought there might be an additional 'connection' beyond the date stamp. Thanks for letting me know. Again, its a wonderful picture.
