What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[xceptnl]

Couldn't decide between the Ebony Indian River Jack or the Sheepfoot Charlow in Smooth Ivory Bone so I carried them both today

Linus, I don't think either of those is a poor choice. The pair together is epic.

Robert, that "Scout" is making me drool. Please tell me more and let me know if it ever needs a second home.

Thanks Landon! That smooth ivory bone sheepfoot from you is one of my grail knives but I don't do it justice by carrying it more often. It's just so awesomely beautiful that i'm afraid of marring it so it takes pride of place in my display box next to my Coats custom and #85EO One Armed Razor

Its just an old beat up imperial I got for a few bucks...came to me with 1/4" of side play and I tightened it all up and put an edge on the blade. It holds a real nice edge, it was packed away but emptying a box I got it out for some more pocket time.

Very nice dynamic duo, Todd!

Thank you.

Love it...

Sweet fixed blade here. Who made it?

This Boker two blade stockman with olive wood covers and 440C blades.

Carrying these two most every day lately, amazing cutters and the handle shape is easy to control the knife,

Smaller one is a #8 slim in Oak and the taller one is a #10 in olive wood
the tall one in this shot is a Cherrywood that I had sold off;

Here's the olive wood #10

That Indian River Jack is just too cool! If you ever tire of it - do let me know

Having a change today, Albert Oates Senator and Charlie's Diamond Jack :thumbup:

^^^ Nice knives there Jack ^^^

I'm going to go with the one that just opened my shift beer.

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Ah now if Charlie would SFO a Toothpick along the lines of this I'd be very pleased. Its almost there.

Hi thales! That IRJ is a real beauty, isn't she? I treasure it as much as the charlow!
Don't think I'll ever tire of it but if I do, I'll keep you in mind.
That said, if you're looking to buy new, there might just be another one left
Drop me an email if you wanna know where to look.

Thanks my friend, hard to kick my Radio Jack out of my pocket, such a great pattern

Yeah it is. I made it even more useful by sharpening the edge before the tip on the screw driver blade so I can use it as a coping blade as well.

Nice mod I thought I was going to find the cap-lifter useful, but actually just having a short stubby tool for poking, prying, scraping, etc is proving to be the most used part of the cap-lifter/screwdriver blade :thumbup:

Love this knife! I had my Erickson in my pocket today too. Need to get me a multi blade from him though.

Ken really does excellent work!! I really like carrying this one (still carrying it) as well as the jigged bone jack he made me.

Duane, that sheepfoot just keeps getting better looking with use!

And Trand, I'll bet you walk like a peakock with that in your pocket . . . all strut all the time.

I still have the blood red 440C #72 with me today.

You mean I don't walk like that everyday? I know I'm not the only one How you liking that #72? Of the #72s, I really liked the color on the Red Wine bone. Today's jack looks to have great bone too!!

Ah now if Charlie would SFO a Toothpick along the lines of this I'd be very pleased. Its almost there.

I don't remember if Charlie had an influence on the #12s but there was a run of saber ground #12s which, other than the shield, would be pretty close to the DE #48. I believe one color was even Blood Red jigged bone like the #48 DE jack (different jigging though). Ok, looking at the pics now, it also doesn't have the swedge of the #48 but my #12s had stronger pulls than my #48s, I'd think you'd want a deep nail nick on them anyway.

Here's GEC's pic of the Blood Red #12 and one in Snakewood that shows the grind better.

Changing it up a bit today. Heading to work with these two...

Well now you're making me regret selling that.

Nice mod idea, I might give that a whirl on one.

Got a call that some Holiday lighting has gone out on some Conifers we put up earlier. Either Squirrels or those stupid little tiny fuses!!!

If Squirrels, then we splice or replace depending on severity---they are a MENACE!!! or if it's just the fuses the Solider/Pioneer is ideal for the job. The small flat blade is perfect for opening that tiny little sliding plastic door to expose the fuses, the awl is the best tool to pop the fuse out---love it:thumbup:

Between the Soldier/Scout and a wire stripper/crimper, I am good to go:thumbup:
