What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Got this one in yesterday and love it, it's what I always had in mind for my forum knife. The one I got originally was pretty smooth stag and while it did grow on me, I really like the more heavily figured stag and when this came up for sale I couldn't pass it up. Arrived yesterday and in the pocket it goes today.

A perfect pattern, that, and one I recommend to anyone who wants "a knife." I hope Case keeps it current. Great covers on yours. :thumbup:

I love a happy ending. :)


[Space reserved because I have most of my knives in front of me in array on this chilly, blustery Sunday, and I haven't decided what I'm actually going to carry yet. I'm mostly just soaking in the glory of the sight, and of the skill, risk-taking, and generosity of so many.]

{{ Though I'll likely keep this one near for the time being, whether or not I actually pocket it: }}

Wow! Sarah, that Washington Jack is the nicest I've seen so far. Is that a really light colored ebony? Or cocobolo?

I am envious. But honestly, it would just be fondled and enjoyed while I continue to carry this one.



With the convenient screwdriver and so-tight-and-smooth-you'd-swear-it's-synthetic ebony handles, my Radio Jack never leaves my pocket.

I see you've already followed the bread crumb trail to my more complete post about my Washington Jack, but yes-- cocobolo it is! :)

Oh, I totally get that. I'm pretty much ruined for having a screwdriver somewhere on my pocketed knife, and endeavor to do so whenever possible. I'm partial to clip blades myself, but your Radio Jack nails every aesthetic to perfection. :thumbup:

Meanwhile, I've gone ahead and pocketed this one after all. How could I leave it behind?

(Different colors in different light; in most real-life lighting, it appears a more solid brown.)

Brian, is that a #22 magnum? How do you like? I think I might like that size. I wish I could find a single blade version.

Yes that is the 22 mag, thank you. It's a great little knife. About the size of a peanut. You will have a tough time finding a single blade since it was only produced in two blade form. :)
Maybe check out the #6 Pemeberton. Another great peanut sized offering that comes in one and two blade configurations.
 
Snowing all day yesterday, tipping down rain all day today. Foul. :grumpy: And it's already dark most of the time.... Good job there's a log stove I can gaze into and some Traditional Knives for beauty. Shadow in Blonde Horn.

Thanks, Will.

Ah that's right 2 blades in the 22. I have not been able to find a single blade Pemberton. I may need to pony up for my own SFO!

I'm not into sawcut usually, but that is absolutely amazing looking.

I love the #22, and that pair of jigged bone really looks great together.

I'm glad you're liking it!

I was waiting for traditional Sunday lunch with some family, and going to visit my dad's family later so I'm carrying the #65 he gave me (recently put a whole new edge on it):

Will, that shadow by Michele Frarachio looks quite appealing :thumbup: Utility and beauty combined. The tang stamp looks interesting to me.

Why thank you. I got it from the Bay for almost nothing, about 4" closed and the horn is very nice. I can't make out what the stamp is, could be tongs/pliers or even old fashioned sheep shears with another symbol superimposed.

Regards, Will
