What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[btb01]

Carrying this little Buck 527 today. I've had this knife for years (it belonged to my dad or my grandpa, can't remember which). I haven't ever carried it much, but I couldn't tell you why. I think it's a good looking little knife.

Fine Coco on that 83, it's a pattern that's certainly satisfied me, one of GEC's best. I prefer the drop-point also, lies low in the frame closed.

Tnx Will! I really like the pattern too, just small enough to disappear in most watchpockets and quit a bit of blade.

Lookin' good ! I received my first Bark River in the mail this morning, a Cocobolo Northstar. Impressed with the quality.

Thanks, Primble! I love 'em. This latest one is the new Bravo Squad Leader in Desert Ironwood Burl with Mosaic pins - here's another looksie:



Now let's see that Northstar!

Muskrat and a Mountaineer....

Never seen a green one before, I love the color of it! :thumbup:

That lockback Chamblin is fantastic!

What he said ^^^^

For Stag Saturday, like others, I'm toting my daring 2015 BF Stag Jack.

I also had my spear and pen bladed Elephant Ivory #15 on me earlier.

But after a find at McKinney Trade Days, and an afternoon spa session, I'm just dragging this NYKC Hammer around. The seller claims it is 1890s era. I have no idea but it's clean, snappy, mostly there and still has another 100 years of life, at least.

I ran a 5k this morning so I grabbed a little-bitty redhead peanut(?) I bought years ago. Glad I didn't bring one of the nicer ones since everyone ended up getting covered in glitter ! Color runs are strange.

Thanks buddy and a very handsome set of edges you're toting today!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks, Robert. Sorry I'm so late in getting to this thread; I thought Saturdays were supposed to be for relaxing!

...along with this new arrival

I said it in the Barlow thread, and I'll say it again here, P&G: that Utica is a real showstopper for me! Congrats! :thumbup::thumbup:

My R. David Laguiole was with me today...


...

Gorgeous, elegant knife, Andi!

77 Soilder today.

Wow, Captain, that Soldier looks fantastic!! :thumbup: Hard to believe it's almost 40 years old!

...Thanks GT, the texture of the penknife is smooth, but the 'lines' run right through

Nice carry my friend, you have deep pockets :thumbup:

I'm off to York first thing in the morning, but will be taking these two with me

Thanks for setting me straight on the penknife covers, Jack; I saw a different pic in another thread (Old Friends Friday?) that made it clear that the "ribs" lie below the surface.
Also, thanks for the compliment. Where I come from, "deep pockets" is sometimes used to connote someone with great wealth; I don't think that connotation actually fits me, or I'd be carrying a lot more stag than I currently do! If "deep pockets" is to be taken as a literal description of features of my pants that allow me to carry a dozen knives at a time , my pockets don't have to be any larger than normal, but I DO have to use an "elasticized" belt that I can cinch up much tighter than normal!
Hope your York excursion was safe, enjoyable, and/or productive. You're on a black & white roll the past couple of days! :thumbup:

Heading out to Florida this morning. I slipped this one in my pocket.

After reading that other fascinating thread about Presidential nail nicks, I now think I can see the hole in this pic!! Am i hallucinating??

Some real gems posted by all. This one today for stag Saturday. Marshall-Wells with some decent covers and domed brass pins.

That's a VERY handsome knife, oldtymer!

1979 Frank Buster Fight'n Rooster 3¾" stockman.

Congrats, Jeff; you sure have a knack for finding fantastic stockmen!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Good morning everyone...enjoy a great Saturday:thumbup:

Stag against a hard Frost...

...

Superb photos, Paul! I always admire your stag 73 anyway, and to see it in the morning light with the frost REALLY shows it off!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Great knives again all. Thanks for the comments on the Lloyd.

Seeing as it's Stag Saturday and I can't make up my mind I'm carrying both of these today.

A Forum Knife and an Eric's Jack.

Ken K.

Ken, those are splendid stag twins you have there! :thumbup:

...Some Stag for Saturday

I'm staggered by your stag, Tim! :thumbup:

All three today, so I took a snap of them out at the old place. Just before the visiting cat decided to try and knock them all down Fortunately, no harm done to knives or cat.:thumbup:

Terrific trio, Will! What's the wharncliffe pen knife at the top?

You sure have some fine old pocket knives, Gev!! :thumbup::thumbup:

D.B., that stag 38 is at least as delicious as the snack! :thumbup::thumbup:

This Case CV Sowbelly in Chestnut bone.

Such a superb sowbelly, Frank! :thumbup::thumbup: I'm starting to drop hints around my house that a chestnut bone CV sowbelly would be a wonderful Christmas gift.

I've seen those Sarge carving knives at the local Woodcraft store, but haven't picked one up, though I was tempted. How do you like it?

Tomorrow I'll be toting these beauties that just got here from Markesharp:



Pardon the bad indoor lighting, but my post office likes to deliver late in the day, though I was stalking my PO Box all afternoon.

Nope, I thought the same too when I started investigating it, but its just a piece of debris.

I picked mine up over a year ago at my local Woodcraft, hoping it might be a lower-cost alternative to a Flexcut Whittlin' Jack. I haven't used it very much, though, because I haven't been very impressed with its whittling performance. I suspect that if I was more adept at sharpening, I could modify the blades to work better, so I'm hanging onto it until my sharpening skills get sharper. So far, I get my best whittling results with the pen blade on a Recruit, Tinker, Spartan, etc.

Congrats on the delivery from Mark! He's an incredibly generous guy! :thumbup::thumbup:

Another shot of the little Buck 527 from today.

Nice. :thumbup: What's the handle material on that? Looks like ivory or micarta.
I've got a little one that looks like the same frame, but in sharkskin.

Thanks! I believe it's micarta. The color is more yellow in person than it shows up in the pictures.

Here's one that's closer to the actual color:

LOL...your very welcome Harry! I was in a store today called the Tree House and thought of you and your garden unit you showed me.

Gary
