What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Lemmy Caution]

Little work in the garden and a welcome reward. Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[Old & In The Way]

Some wonderful knives being carried today, and a few that really caught my eye...

Jake - congratulations on the new Erickson. It's gorgeous and the jigged bone is really special. :thumbup:

David - outstanding ivory Northwoods.

Ron - eye candy indeed. That one is a real looker. :thumbup:


I'm carrying something new and quite special as it was a surprise gift from my good friend Primble. I've been intrigued by these Lon Humphrey Whitetails, and had reached out to Primble a couple nights ago to ask him how he was liking his. I was quite surprised to read his reply the next morning when he instructed me to be looking in the mail for a surprise. That same afternoon, this one showed up in my mailbox. On top of being a connoisseur of fine traditional knives and a masterful photographer, Primble is also a terrific and generous friend; and as I learned yesterday, apparently also a clairvoyant. I've had it in its sheath in my pocket since it arrived yesterday afternoon and am really quite taken with it. It's a terrific carry and I hardly even notice it or the sheath in my pocket. My photo doesn't do it justice, but Primble obviously knows of my affinity for ebony, and the ebony scales on this one are outstanding I'm my opinion. Thanks again, Primble!

Stephen Thank you for the compliment and congrats on that fine Humphrey
Primble - A terrific gift from one Classy Individual to another

When I first saw this picture (such a great shot!), I took the liberty of upping the exposure a little bit, so I could see your pretties better. Then, the moment passed (this thread streams by fast). Here you are again, and here's my edit:

Still accurate?

Old Friends Friday:

There is a tremendous variety of great knives out there, but in so many ways it simply doesn't get better than this Swayback Jack, its heft and proportions, the CV steel, Bose's inimitable touch-- all in an accessible production knife.

Yeah, cool. :thumbup: Victor does have eyes!
He was lounging on the bed like the king he is, and I had to take a cell phone shot even though it was a bit dark.

I don't carry my swayback jack as much as I should. It's just so perfect, I get into this weird mindset that I worry about losing it. Which makes no sense, really. I carry knives that are more rare, and have sentimental value that would make them irreplaceable. It's just a strange thing.

This beauty. It just arrived today, and I can't say with certainty because I haven't carried it more than a couple hours, BUT this might just turn out to be my most attractive and coveted Traditional.

 

[Ryouchijtx]

Is that a challenge?



Best wishes to you and your family.

Aha great looking Tabby there

Thanks Tim, Paul, Drew, & Curtis. I appreciate it guys.

It's good to see some canines posted with some great cutlery instead of cats for a change.

I may have to get Zoe, my dog, in on this.

Please do Brett

I had been eyeing that SFO for a while before it sold to you Armando, it looks like a real beauty. I really love that sterile shield and how it flows with how sleek the rest of the knife is.

The knife I had hunted for/secured my drop in traditional slipjoints, the od green viper.

...Meet my new 3.5" of pure Erickson excellence!!
...

Congrats, Jake; that is a spectacular knife!! :thumbup::thumbup: The jigging, the blade shape, the shield are all outstanding; super score!!!

...My mother in law just called me and wants me to have her dad's handful. I have to admit, I was really taken back by that and didn't realize how much that would mean to me.
...

Brett, thanks for sharing a little bit of the story of your "grandfather-in-law". Sounds like you admired him a lot, and to have the honor of getting his knives is awesome!!

...
Pete

Whenever I see photos of your little Case, I think to myself, "There's Pete's perfect peanut." What a classic!!

...

Gotta congratulate you again on the iconic ivory, David!!

I've got these two with me today. The Barlow will be kicked out of my pocket though once I get home and replaced with my new sowbelly.
...

Congrats on the new sowbelly, ms! :thumbup::thumbup: I'm looking forward to seeing some photos soon!

Bob, this one is for you my friend Stay strong:thumbup:

+ 5K! Excellent sentiment, Ron! :thumbup:

Congrats on your new Whitetail, Stephen! Thanks for sharing the story of how it came to you. :thumbup::thumbup:
Well done, Primble! Very generous, thoughtful, and apparently prescient!! :thumbup:

...

Repeating what I posted in that thread, Rachel: I LOVE your SBJ!

...

Alright, Shane!! The Moose is back on the job!! YES!

Here are a couple of more knives I've been totin' this week: a Boker electrician I recently received from Markesharp, and a little Chinese Buck 373 stockman (on the left, of course, in the photo below) that I bought a year ago February. It was the first knife I'd purchased in over 50 years!

I applaud your resolve GT. 50 years... & I like the sawcut on that electrician~

 

[KBA]

Ron... thanks for the eye candy! It's good to see another one of those out. I think I'll carry mine tomorrow.

Rachel that shot is awesome! Love the light and especially that wood (floor?)! The knife and that wood tell a story and are feeled with character. :thumbup:

Armando that 48 is my favorite 48 out there! Well done:thumbup:

Thanks,Sarah, Primble, 5K Qs, Brett. I love the knife and I'm pretty proud of how the photo came out. The wood is my work table. It's an old oak desk, and yes, it has a lot of character!

Today and yesterday Northwoods Broadway Jack on the #15 frame, in blue camel bone?

 

[thales2015]

David's killing it with the ivory again...do you have a Damascus bladed and ivory handled knife?? Best of both worlds for you bud!

Thank you GT & Jake - I'm certainly very happy with it! The folks at KSF were great in helping pick out just the one I was hoping for.
Jake - I have a couple slip-joints with damascus blades, but not one with both damascus and ivory on the same knife...though, now that you mention it - that's one heck of a good idea!

 

[Jack Black]

Congratulations Stephen, welcome to the world of the small fixed-blade, and that's a wonderful knife (and a nice pic I think) Very kind gesture :thumbup: I sure envy you guys your efficient postal service and closer geographical ties! :thumbup:

A beauty indeed :thumbup:
