• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

One of these... I got two new ones in today, and it's really hard to decide (top to bottom in second pic: black canvas Workhorse, dyed bone Great Plainsman, desert ironwood Patriot):



 
Gevonovich - Wow, that's just an extraordinary old knife. You've been on quite the roll lately. I have to wonder if you haven't discovered a 'Primble-esque' rabbit-hole of your own from which you're finding all these wonderful old knives lately? ;) :)

No rabbit hole just lucid dreaming...remote viewing/dreaming of sorts:D:D;););)

and rightly so! That thing is INCREDIBLE!!!

Thank you, Dan!! It is a looker and great walk and talk

Derek


Man o man those are nice!!!
 
Great looking Bullnose sir.

Thank you cards:)

Victorinox Pioneer and some coins. the 1863 is a civil war grocery store token, an 1859 Seated Liberty, Large English cent from 1937, and a couple of Morgan dollars.

I love the token bladeboss, coins/currency are a passion of mine as well but that token is so cool:thumbup:

Lovely picture Paul;)

@ Stephen Thank you Stephen and yes I have seen your pictures and I always enjoy them:thumbup::)
 
I bought a couple of old WW2 jackets that were beyond salvation (sunstrike)....#73 removed all the bling easily....In the collar of the greatcoat was sewn in this canteen stopper...Fortunately i met the curator of our largest war museum and she surmised that the stopper had been sewn into the collar as a good luck charm,probably carried by a family member in WW1...Very cool i thought and i will try to return it to the family of this soldier....Lest we forget.......Fes



 
just got off work (carried my single blade 92) but now i am off to visit the mother-in-law and the wifes aunt
probably going with this combination

 
I re-claimed my chopping stump from the fungi today, and worked up a pretty good sweat with the other pieces of steel :)

I think if I were visiting my mother in law today, I would take either a pitchfork or a boar spear.
 
Jack, great Queen canoe.

Thanks my friend, it was a gift from our man in the Hebrides. Great to see your Chambers again :thumbup:

I grabbed the little Bose designed teardrop today.

Cool bit of history there Fes :thumbup:
 
Getting stuck in! This old Camillus EZ-Open was a fine present from Duncan that came with his incredible GAW of a Blood Red Charlow, renewed thanks for that! :thumbup::thumbup: This old knife has a lot of time ahead of it and is adjusting well to chilly climes :D Regards, Will

Very nice Will :thumbup: Duncan is a very generous fellow with great taste :)
 
Thanks Jack. You are certainly right! The EZ-Open has a load of character and some nice jigged bone.

Regards, Will
 
Happy Saturday everyone! Enjoying the long weekend off for Thanksgiving, and have this tagging along with me today:

Thanks all! It's one of my favorite coins as well. I found it a couple years ago. I kept it because it looked different an didn't notice until a while later what it was.
 
Some great knives lately, hope everyone is having a good weekend! Got these two newbies today. Queen stockman in zebra wood and a Bear & Son toothpick in walnut. I decided to give Bear another try after giving my Bear made Mooremaker away a while back to someone who appreciated it more than me. It was just a sorry excuse for a pocketknife, I know it was an economy lockback with yellow scales but it was just BAD in so many ways. This new Bear & Son knife is a heck of a lot nicer knife, good snap, good fit and finish and just well put together.

Yes, Jack, the Bose Teardrop is the slimmest of that pattern I've seen recently, and the zulu spear makes for a very utilitarian single blade which is eminently pocketable. Home now from my running around town, I exchanged it for a more substantial knife, the ram's horn Cuban.
