What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

White Owl on its perch for me today.

Funny how GEC and Schatt&Morgan can make desirable Redbone but CASE can't seem to anymore...??:confused:

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

Entirely understandable Scott, I find it a struggle not to carry mine every day too, such a great pattern :thumbup:

However, I decided to slip this one in my pocket today ;)

 
I have been digging this knife I modded from an old Camillus TL-29. I rescaled it in bloodwood with some vintage schrade nickel silver pins I got off eBay. Did not turn out bad for a first attempt, and a total investment of less than $15...not counting my time.

It's hot! And after a visit to my wicked edge it's sharp too!

Got my new mini trapper!

Put this wharnie in a swayback frame, and it sure would look like a lambsfoot. Which is fine with me.

With two serious contenders for the ONE that it has supplanted. Probably.

I'ts not as shiny now since it shares a pocket with a Vic Huntsman. Working on the patina too.

Ontario Rat Punch Blade Stockman D2 in Rams Horn (Queen #49 Cattle King) for me today. Not much to punch but paper today since I'm stuck at my desk. :grumpy:

My Shadow Beer Scout from Evan hasn't left my pocket since it arrived last week. This is Evan's picture, as I haven't taken any shots with it.
 
I've never had a Sunfish/Elephant's Toenail to be honest I've always felt they were a little ridiculous, kinda like an overcompensation you're of knife, an exaggerated pattern that was really more of a curiosity than a useful pattern. Now mind you my opinion was surely based on the fact that I'd never held one or used one before.

During the discussion of next year's forum knife possibilities the Sunfish Fans started lobbying right after the Peanut coalition started their bid for the '15 forum knife I made a comment about never having held a Sunfish so I couldn't comment on the pattern and now as a result of that conversation and the generosity of a member here, (Parke1) thanks Dan :) I received a Rough Rider 118 Sunfish in the mail and I've been impressed with both the pattern and Rough Rider.

So here's what traditional is in my pocket today courtesy of a member of our fine community and his generosity.

I'm loving this knife and it reminds me of the old Schrade 51OT, I've reconsidered my stance on the Sunfish/Elephant's Toenail pattern and I can see where it'll gain a place in my back pocket.
