This thread zips along so quickly that sometimes I don't even pretend to keep up-- I pick a relatively recent page, and start from there. 'Tis a good problem, though; it heartens me to know so many are carrying traditional knives
every day, and taking the time to share them here. It's always a pleasure to return and soak in page after page of pocketed knives.
I have a Mini Candian in black micarta; a surprise from plk7. Not only was the fact of the knife a surprise, but -- never having seen one-- I laughed right out loud when I went to withdraw the substantial-for-the-knife's-size handle from the sheath, and the handle kept coming and kept coming, and then finally there was that wee, perfect blade at the end of it. ... I love the blade-to-handle proportion on this one.
This will be with me, the Cranberries got devoured already......
Stunning picture, stunning knife. Not in that order.
Swayback today
What a great shot. :thumbup:
A well balanced knife.
(Man, those #38 whittlers look sweet. Such coives!)
Lyle commissioned a great knife with this one I feel, big shout too to Barry for his service and help!
Yes, that's a looker; the bone makes it look "old" in all the right ways, from the get-go.
There ya go.
I'm carrying the ebony 77 today and working on waterproofing the sheath on my new custom from Leif Lambertson (Leiflj on here).
As good as the knife looks in the above picture, this is the one that got me:

Yowzah, that's striking. Congrats!
Carrying the #36 again today - this little beast has really grown on me:
Funny how the #36s go from honkin' big to just right in one's estimation, the more one uses them. At least, that's been my experience. Nice one.
Calzones cold beer and cutlery. btmccutcheon and myself meeting for good conversation and good food.
Yes, all of these were carried today.

Looks a great time! I'm happy for you guys, and wish y'all were closer.
So I read the rules again and can't quite decide if this is a "traditional", but the patent is from the 60s and I figured y'all would enjoy it, so here it it. My new, pretty beat up, Barry Wood. I love this knife and got it cheaper than I imagined. My dad used to have the colt version I remember playing with as a kid and he later traded it for a randall. Such a cool, unique knife to me. Pretty micarta too. May try to fix it up a little
Okay, I've looked and looked, and remain confused.
The blade(s) open past the spine...? And where does that odd-looking second blade go when the knife is closed? An interesting piece, indeed. Can you 'splain some more?
My Swayback Gent!

Carried the ebony version to work today. Still trying to convince myself I like it.
Hmmm, if the knife isn't pleasing to your
eye, you may not ever warm up to it. It happens, with the fortunate thing being, as you note, there are so many other great choices out there. (If it had been a matter of
feel, I would have recommended the two-bladed two-bladed Jack in comparison to the Gent; its the additional width [due to the secondary pen blade] makes the Jack more comfortable to me in hand.)
Finally got my Washington Jack back from GEC...
Whew! Should I be afraid to ask...?
This little cracker came in the post this morning .

Cool knife!
My carry for today, as it has been for days in a row now.
It's officially a pocket hog! Fortunately, in addition to its beckoning curves, it sports way-useful blades.

Took her out for a walk, sunny day today here in the NE
:thumbup:
What with postage costs and a hefty import-tax I couldn't afford it and the other two, but greed is not dignified I try to tell myself..
