What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Old Engineer]

Steve - Tim's 55 is Bocote. I would like to see another run of the 55's too with some Cocobolo and Jigged Copperhead bone.

73 and Lime Cutter

And my new Bark River in A2 and Crimson Camel bone for dinner prep tonight

Tough taking good pics in the middle of the day.

Your 73 is still looking good and your others look great too. The handle on that Lime Cutter is what ? It sure is interesting!!!!

Thanks Harry.

Some wonderful knives being Toted today I have enjoyed these 2 straight edge models today :thumbup:

Good looking pair today, Ron!!

Great picture! I bet that hunt was fun.

Per Primble 's request, here is a view without the cadet.



Chris

Just super work, Chirs! That has to make you smile ear to ear with pride of craftsmanship!!

thanks Jack! I added this one before I left the house today. Sweet smell of juniper!

I bet the carry is as sweet as the smell

Sorry about the reflection,with 2 in college my 'computer ' is me trusty 'ol reflective IPad.

Gevonovich, thank you. I really enjoyed this one. From forging the billet of steel all the way till it was done. I took it to professional knife photographer Chuck Ward this evening so I will have a pro image of it. Another great thing about Chuck and the other pros that do the same thing is that they send the images to the major knife magazines. So there is a chance this one could get published, I've had that happen before.

Fantastic little B&T Chris! I'm a sucker for little fixed blades like this. A ton of small details in this knife!

 

[Chris Montgomery]

LHpanther, thank you. Some of the wrought iron I used for the spacers is being used by a maker you might know on a project he is working on now, Ben Seward.

My little girl is turning 2 this week (avatar pic) so the wife ordered many a thing off Amazon, 77 doing its chores unboxing them.

A smile on my face Drew...happy birthday to your lovely little girl, they grow up soooo fast. Our baby comes home on the weekends to hang out with his buddies. He's a big boy, all 6ft 5 of him

 

[dispatch184]

Thank you Paul.. seems we were JUST at the hospital.. such a mix of emotions. Before I know it she will be your sons age, though probably not 6'5

Tried carrying a pocket fixed blade for a change. I made the pocket sheath of leather salvaged from a pair of old boots. The sheath has inside a liner of the same leather that houses the blade, thus preventing the edge cutting stiching and sliding too deep, puncturing the bottom. Upper seam has a welt to protect stiching.

Nice knife and great job on the leather sheath HFinn!

Not sure about the Idaho outline on the tang? Don't believe any of my other Bucks have it though.
I could be that they had a factory there at one stage, the knife I won in a GAW and is much prized.

Thanks,Will

Thank you Chris ! I love everything about that knife !! Looking forward to Saturday. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Back again with a awesome carry from yesterday and Today...
Jared Oeser Bushcraft EDC and Case Bose Norfolk Whittler - colors match well

Fine picture of some fine looking knives Todd ! :thumbup::thumbup:

Awesome Ron ! :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[5K Qs]

I was hoping to trade out for my new 83 at lunch, but apparently it got left at the sorting center in Ohio.

Guess I'll stick with this old gal

That Camillus is a classic beauty, Sean! :thumbup::thumbup: I'd stick with her through thick and thin!

Lol, sorry for the curve ball GT . I am having a custom sheath made for my City knives which will have a pocket clip, and am carrying modern folders until it arrives to get reacquainted with that style of carry. But I am still a 2 knife guy and a traditionalist .

Great knives you are carrying this week, and FANTASTIC pic of the Joker! :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind words, Tom! I look forward to some photos of your new set-up with the custom sheath and pocket clip.

Copycatted and Biscuitized. #77 with boiled satin blades, satin bolsters, dropped kick and EO notch. Gotta get outdoors and get some better pics.
...

Your Northfield barlow looks fantastic, Bob; as usual, you did a great job!! :thumbup::thumbup:

...
GT: How are the blades on this RR canoe...don't have this pattern yet and that one is nice with stag. How thick are those blades? I like em' on the thinner side
...

I don't have any fancy gauges handy, Steve, but my office ruler indicates the thickest part of the spine on the canoe's blades is just under 2 mm, and tapers quite a bit down to the edge. Eyeball estimate says it's comparable to main blade of my Vic Tinker in thickness. Sorry I can't be more precise.

...

Two terrific knives, Ron; I especially like that lamb foot!

Carried this old whittler today. It was rusty and crusty but I cleaned it up a little.
H. BOKER & CO'S IMPROVED CUTLERY stamped on the main blade. H. BOKER CUTLERY GERMANY on the pen and file blades.

I really like the small cut outs to open the pen and file blades and the way the scales flare out on the bottom bolster.
...
Ken K.

Very nice "rescue", Ken; the Boker is looking way better than when you first got it! :thumbup::thumbup:

I have a few old knives that haven't seen the light of day in a long while. I started carrying them again. Here's what I had with me today.

[/URL][/IMG]

Cool Boker, GasMan! :thumbup: The handles are VERY similar to the "rescue knife" r8shell was showing recently.

My little girl is turning 2 this week (avatar pic) so the wife ordered many a thing off Amazon, 77 doing its chores unboxing them....

Happy Birthday to your daughter, Drew!! My daughter turned 27 this week! Pay attention, that difference of a quarter-century goes by amazingly fast!!

Thanks, Will. I think Buck's current headquarters are in Idaho, but I don't recall noticing that "map stamp" on other Bucks I've seen pictured here. I'm just curious about it. :roll eyes:


Here are the knives pulling kitchen duty for me this week:
Opinel #7 (in its pristine state)

unbranded (and probably Chinese) Laguiole I bought in Denia, Spain

Cudeman folder from Toledo, Spain

- GT

- GT

Thanks GT! I picked it up for a song on ebay and I love it. Great old green bone, nice full blades that are ground super thin. after a little time on the lansky, the thing is a laser.

 

[tdkfm]

A little jigged wood for me at the office today.

 

[Chris Montgomery]

Primble, your welcome my friend :thumbup:
