What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[jrtodd46]

Thanks! Both the folded image and the palm placement give a lot of helpful information.

Cool lil' piece, that. :thumbup:

~ P.

Its almost too small for me lol. Its 4.25" open and about 3" closed.

My fiancee has layed eyes on it so it may be hers before too long.

David, that Oeser is truly wonderful. His use of materials is outstanding. Congratulations! !

Thanks Chris - I've admired Jared's aesthetic sense for some time and it's a pleasure to finally own one of his pieces.

 

[philllll]

Awesome knife, David!!!

I'm not usually a fan of Jared's micarta, I know it's his signature but it's just not my thing. But WOW! The overall design, blade shape, and grinds are just OUTSTANDING on that one!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet…"The Reaper"...

SCORE!! Love it.

 

[Gevonovich]

Just stunning, David!!! Love the burlap

 

[HamburgerHill]

What Hunphrey is that...I have a Muley but that looks like a mini Kephart. Is it the Whitetail with green micarta??

Yes sir!

Mark, thanks! I'm really liking your bark river too. I find myself really liking the smaller fixed blade options currently.

thales2015, Jared is killin' it! Congrats on the wonderful new knife!
Higo for me today.

From Jared: "Blade and spring are CPM 154 and blade came in at 62 RC. Closed length is 4” and pull is a stout 6 and easily pinchable. Handles are black paper micarta bolsters with gray burlap over orange and black g-10. Shield is orange g-10."

Thanks for all the kind words fellas - very special to finally get this from Jared. Really a fun process.

Beautiful knife David! I don't know much about Jared Oeser other than he makes incredible knives and that his execution is flawless. May I ask if this knife is an established pattern that he makes, or are all of his knives one offs?

Great looking fixie BrotherJim. Looks like a large fixed gec trapper. Found myself wanting one while I was cutting open bags of soil/fertilizer with the viper today for the ease of not having to open and close your knife.

 

[thales2015]

Phil, Todd, Gev, & Al - thanks so much. Very happy this one came to be! Al - this is a new pattern for him, first try at a Hawkbill…not bad I'd say

Blue Barlow. Excuse the raindrops.

That's just gorgeous. If I remember correctly, Queen just has the S&M on one side, and the pile side bolster is plain. That blue bone is fantastic. A very special knife. Congratulations.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet…"The Reaper"...

Every time I see one of Jared Oeser's knives, I think, "I've got to put some money away and get on Jared's wait list." I love the orange shield. A nontraditional traditional. What a treasure!

Blue Barlow. Excuse the raindrops.

That's awesome! :thumbup:

We didn't call them bobbins, they were called quills. The cylinder shaped storage device (on the right hand side of the loom) holding them is called a battery. The machines that wound the yarn on them were quillers.

On-loom winders replaced the quiller, on-loom winders were eventually eliminated when shuttleless looms became common. They use a large tube or cone of yarn for the weft supply.

Complicated and cantankerous machinery proliferated the textile business

Fascinating Jerry :thumbup: I think there was another name for the bobbins here too. I'm having to dash, just on my way over to Sheffield again, but I'll do some research later :thumbup:

Nice one David :thumbup:

+1 :thumbup:

You know it! I've been trying to decide if it's a painted radiator, or a child's (grandmother's?!) ceramics project.

[Jack, have ye taken up crafts? ]

LOL! It's an old cast bollard with the Leeds city crest. I'll try and find another pic later :thumbup

Love it :thumbup:

Very nice Pete :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack. I do tend to fill my pockets, but I haven't been getting to the gym to work out since Halloween, so walking around with several pounds of steel in my pockets is my current version of strength training.

Thanks for the education, Jack. My wife actually does some weaving, and all I know about it is we have a "big" loom dominating the former dining room and a "small" loom in the study. I showed her your pictures and she recognized the shuttle, but not the bobbins.

LOL! :thumbup:

I think Jerry is the expert my friend. I've used a small loom, but the shuttles are simple affairs. It sounds like your wife has a nice hobby, always makes me think of Penelope in The Odyssey

Nice r8shell :thumbup:

 

[SadSappySucker]

Blue Barlow. Excuse the raindrops.

That blue is just perfect!

 

[clutchcarter]

WOW!!! Nice to meet you Mr. Reaper.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please meet…"The Reaper"...

Henkle & Joyce.....Great Eastern Cutlery

Same here...to the point I messaged him about getting on his list yesterday. I keep seeing his work in this thread, mainly that stunning Texas Barlow, and couldn't hold back any longer.

Relaxing with the pup yesterday afternoon. Love this #66 slim
