What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I know some of you guys across the pond might think it's a bit gauche, but in honor of St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, I've got these. (Sorry for the lousy cell phone pic, the light's gone. I'll have to take a better one later. )

Tell me about that beautiful green coke-bottle, if you'd be so kind......and nice bodhran by the way!
 
Ahhhh Perry the now much sought after SCOUT and for good reason...such a great looking knife. Sheepfoot with or without Pen, great bone covers and EO notch...a perfect Jack knife:thumbup:
Paul, thank you my friend! It's been somewhat of an amazing journey to get a Scout feel the overall sensible carry of this classic!

Thank you all for the kind words. But I have to say Primble's Utica is just phenomenal. I like seeing all the shiny new stuff posted here, but when something like that Utica shows up it warms my heart to know that these old battle scarred warhorses are still out there cutting stuff like God intended them to do.
P.S Still totin the same knife as yesterday.
This one

Thanks!
It was made by Queen, with their awesome D2 steel, in 2002. Branded with the Marbles name, 1 of 350. Fantastic dark green bone, which I have a hard time photographing, depending hugely on lighting and background colors... heh
This one is a favorite -- I like the bigguns, and this one is sturdy enough for its size. Solidly built, walks and talks like a champ, spring is flush in all 3 positions (open, half stop, and closed). And the D2 steel is probably my favorite cutlery steel, so that's another mark in this one's favor.
Queen did a whole bunch of old brand name revivals around that time (90s and 00s): Marbles, Robeson, Case Classic, etc.
As for the bodhran, well... it's more of a decoration than a real instrument; sadly, it doesn't sound very good, but it looks good on the wall. ;)

Great knife, Ron. I have the muskrat version of the Furtaker, and it took a little while for me to warm up to it, but I've really come to love the combo of that nice, slim clip and wharnie. :thumbup:

puukoman - that's a fine Marbles!
 
Thanks!

You are very welcome. It is a great knife. Beautiful green bone. And it is a monster. Maybe some day I'll pick another one up. In the meantime I am so glad it is loved and getting used.

Kai - that Fightn' Rooster is really wild! Such a tall blade, really interesting. How old is it, do you know?
Smithhammer - thanks, I think she's a beaut too. Really like the Marbles fb you posted, too :thumbup:
Neal - you bet it is, being thoroughly enjoyed! :) Thanks again! :thumbup:

Finally... SheepFoot Sunday. Lets see them. First post of special spotlights.
My Case XX 11031 SH. Best Sheep foot blade... made decades before it was cool

Check Out the Video I made for IG... Listen to the Walk and Talk...

That is beautiful. Of all the nice modern and traditional knives I own this one doesn't leave my pocket since I bought it. Mine isn't near that pretty though.

Yes wild is a perfect description Alex! Tall blade is easy to pinch open with no half stops. It has double springs with a solid opening snap. Blade is pretty thick but has a real sharp working edge. A very well built robust knife, like a little tank! I'm not exactly sure when it was made but sometime between 1982 and 1994.

That's crazy -- double springs, on one blade?? Whoa! Very cool, thanks for the info. How long is it?
And..... if you ever tire of it, please call me first! ;) :thumbup:
 
Thanks for all the nice comments, fellas. This was my first TC Barlow and is my most used and carried Charlow. Keeping me company until my Palo Santo arrives.

All the cherry blossoms are falling off the trees. The wind is piling them up into little snowdrifts.
