What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

GEC #71 Bull Nose. With the bail added, it is in the top 5 of my knives I like to carry. Very tough knife.

Statistically, the answer to this question is most often "Eric's Jack," just like it is today! :D The more I carry this little beauty, the more I like it.

Thanks GT! It's actually jigged wood. There are a couple of WWII knife patterns from Camillus that have jigged wood scales. It's actually a common find on the USCG/Navy knives from that time period. Here's an old thread with a couple good photos: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-Boat-Sailor-s-knives?p=12982951#post12982951

It's a Frank Buster / Celebrated Cutlery / Germany -- Fightn Rooster. It a well made knife and quite big at 5 in. closed. I thought it had "True Grit" just like Rooster Cogburn who was played by one of my favorites,the big man himself, John Wayne in a movie of the same name. Don't miss it either:D Let me know if you need any thing else. You don't see a lot of them but you still can find um;)

Thanks for the specifics on the knife, Gevo; I'll definitely keep an eye peeled for a Fight'n Rooster toothpick! I really like your knife and I loved "True Grit" (both novel and movie, although I haven't seen the fairly recent remake film), but it took me awhile to actually catch the "Rooster" connection! :(:o Long week, I guess! :D

...Thanks for the kind words GT! I struggle with posting the same kind of knives daily, as I don't want to bore the good folks here. But I like photography and love knives :), so I continue. Someone tell me if I am boring you and I will cease and desist :D.

You're welcome, Tom. I certainly don't get bored with your photos, but my written reactions probably "get old" fairly quickly. I mean, I can't just write "Pulchritudinous pair" every day! :p:p

Everything about this knife looks like a great user. Long pull spearpoints :thumbup:

I actually started liking the 2 blade setup... the pen blade is sooooo useful for opening packages, and the main blade then for small food jobs. It indeed is a great user as I am discovering every day. Don't think I'll ever go back to modern folders for edc... :-)
