What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Stephen, Mark and Brian thanks for your comments. I feel I was really lucky to get that particular 73 as it has astonishing 'ribbed' stag, not sure what part of the antler it comes from though. The pile side is not grooved but is also nice to look at, similar colour and crucially, same thickness. It's a favourite carry of mine.

Regards, Will
 
Today I unwrapped some Ebony

Stephen inspired me with his old beauty to bring out this old classic and put it in my pocket.
Primble suggested a funeral pyre. The construction of the pyre is still in progress...they were just off camera. :D

Nice looking Hartkopf, Andi.

Looks like a useful fixed blade, Duane. Did you put handles on that?, looks like Desert Ironwood.

A pair from Jerry Halfrich today, old growth redwood burl handles

That one is always with me, Jerry. It's peanut sized in length but has the heart of a much bigger knife. It's thin and I don't even know it's in my pocket.

What do you think of the Singi? I have handled one of those and this knife was clearly a lemon. The blade rubbed against liner, action was gritty and and the edge was semi-sharp.

I really like the knife itself. It fits my hand like a glove, has solid lock up and the curly birch handles are great. That being said the fit and finish was a bit lacking. Gritty action like you said, and a few machining marks that were not buffed out... No blade rubbing or anything else that wasn't cosmetic or easily fixed.
 
Having trouble deciding between these two today. Maybe I'll just carry both. You guys are really killin' me with those TC barlows:D.
