What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Rockon75]

The p - nut is very very nice. I find it hard to believe it is mammoth. It is an identical match to the various GEC Elephant Ivory specimens I have.

Nice knife. What are you carving? Download the audio book then you could do both. lol

True, rainy days aren't all bad, but now I'm torn between finding my copy of LOR, or starting on this basswood block.



Hope you all have a great weekend.

Great idea on the audio! :thumbup: My wife and I listened to the audio as we did a cross country road trip a few years ago.
It really fit as we went through the Badlands and Yellowstone.

Think I'm going to try to carve out a little box and top for my daughter. Just found out yesterday that I we are having another lil girl. So, I may need to make two.

Hey Scott, from what I've been told the Weaver Jack is one of those little secret knives that many missed on and has excellent walk and talk and built great. How's you experience been?

They were cicada. Here is some info for you:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada

Do you carry any traditional knives? I would be interested in what you normally carry

Brett
Congratulations Sir!! What wonderful news, my friend!!

Cool pattern. I had a single blade version, I would have liked the 2 or three version better.

 

[10fingers]

Gorgeous! Is that Coconut Palm?

thanks! its black palm but for all i know could be the same as coconut?

 

[KBA]

Thanks Scott & Gevo. We're pretty excited about it.

10fingers - Well done. It looks great. :thumbup:

#42 again today:

Nice picture of a purty knife! :thumbup:

Today it's a Moose and Watch Pocket Sunfish

Nice look to that pair Woodrow! :thumbup:

Whoa Duane - very nice - and unusual !!! :thumbup:

Primble - Another nice pair there today, 2 gems! :thumbup:

Thank you Ron - looks like you will be able to handle about anything today.

I really have no idea. Maybe the old forging methods? Maybe the composition? I am not sure what, but I have noticed multiple old knives that just take wicked edges that none of my later carbon steel knives can match. Old beat up knives are worth restoring for that, among many other reasons.

I have noticed the same - wonderful job on the Scout knife re-handle too!! :thumbup:

Belated Xmas and new Years wishes to you all...Still carrying the usurper daily and love it...presently doing a re-handle on the Damascus blade and will post pics when im home next....have a good day all..........Fes

Great stuff there Fes - nicely pictured too. :thumbup:

It's getting quite late here, 11pm or so and I'm roasting a chicken with thyme,lemon,shallot and olive-oil to have cold tomorrow when an honoured guest drops round I'm drooling due to the tantalizing aromas coming from the kitchen but this is compounded by the drool from gaping at this Whittler! Gourmet yet simple, that rich bone colour is how I hope the chicken skin will look when done The re-handling job with the Ebony is of very high calibre, that shows depth and proper radiusing -something that can be lacking on some wooden scales. Fantastic knives.:thumbup:

Regards, Will.

Thank you Will - very much appreciated. :thumbup:

Gevo - lookin' good my friend.

Frankly, the 3 blade Weaver Jack is wide and heavy. The blade configuration is problematic: the clip-in-the-middle is difficult to access. It would be better if the hawksbill blade was in the center. The clip blade was a nail breaker, 9 out of 10, making it even less useful. It has taken me 3 years to get get it to open a little more easily. There are no half-stops. Blades all came incredibly sharp. The blades are centered. No gaps. Well made overall.

But I still love it. Bought it for the Micarta and Tidioute badge and wouldn't think of selling it.

The single blade Easy Open version has none of the negatives if you have a place in your pocket for a single hawksbill.

Onejim - Not a bad pic at all. :thumbup: The 78 I had was to strong for me. Ended up selling it. How's the pull on that calf roper. I may have lost my 81 unfortunately (I loved that knife. It's trapped in Dallas, TX.)

Brett,

OH NO......because of you I have the 81 on my wish list! Its not easy to find an 81 in ebony these days......but its very high on my list. Hope your family finds it.

My 66 pulls are a little strange. The sheeps foot and spade blades are on the lighter side.....but still a decent snap. The clip is on the stronger side.....just about perfect. The 78 though is a whole different beast. I really like it so hoping it calms down.....cause I really like the knife.
