What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[link2derek]

This one again:

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Been camping at Big Bend National Park with the Olive Farmer and Case 6375..... Those two knives have been working hard while I was having fun.

 

[BrotherJim]

 

[blademan 13]

That is some wild looking stag on that 77. Did you dye it?

They both got a dye bath today. The stag on the case needed some help as did the NF. Both much better now.

 

[Old & In The Way]

Jeff - thanks for the compliment.

Kris - your Chamblin lock back whittler is simply amazing. :thumbup:

Jack - thank you. The weather here has been odd. We're expecting rain for the rest of the weekend, but it's been hot (highs have been in the 80°'s) and humid these past few days. Hopefully, we're in for some cooler weather soon.

Bob - beautiful photos of an equally beautiful Beer Scout Knife. :thumbup:

John - stunning handles on your Charlow. As nice as I've seen. :thumbup:

Gevonovich - thank you. Lot's of smiles last night and even a few still today. I hope there are plenty of smiles in your weekend as well.

Gary - very handsome SBJ. :thumbup:

PWNC - outstanding stag on your whittler. Very nice. :thumbup:

Mark - terrific photo and a couple fine knives as well. I especially like the teardrop.

Sam - I really like the looks of your Forester. If you don't mind me asking, what are the scales?

Woodrow - seeing your photos of Big Bend happily reminded me of a camping/hiking trip I took there almost 25 years ago. I hope you're enjoying it as much as I did. :thumbup:

Cheers Stephen. I think they are stabilized Violet Wood (which actually doesn't narrow it down much as several woods are called Violet wood!). Tricky with the French-english translation too!

Whatever it is I like it

Sam

 

[black mamba]

Pulled out an old favorite, the #73 jack in burnt arrowhead bone.

 

[Chief]

Love this pic, those old half dollars rock! And congrats to your folks.

 

[Gevonovich]

Gevonovich - thank you. Lot's of smiles last night and even a few still today. I hope there are plenty of smiles in your weekend as well.

Pleased to hear it...wonderful! I just had one

 

[Woodrow F Call]

I'm headed back home with a stop in San Antonio for tonight. We only had a couple of days, but it was awesome.

 

[Gevonovich]

Just saw this picture of your wonderful carry today, Mark.....gorgeous!! What is the knife dressed in white?

 

[5K Qs]

Well GT I gotta say I'm proud of the spit shine I gave the old Winchester. It certainly wasn't as handsome after a lifetime in a box. But it's a butterbean now, aside from some mighty firm springs...the pen is the hardest pull I've ever owned.

I really like the mods on your Opinel!!

Thanks, Joe. davek14 told me he wanted the "blade height" of a #8 in a short, pocket-friendly length, and I think he really succeeded by shortening and sheep footing the blade and cutting down the handle, so closed length is now right at 3 5/8" - about perfect IMHO. And the little stainless shim he pinned into the end of the blade slot to reinforce the handle is really impressive!

Gary, that's a tidioute 66 in ebony. Great little knivesď

Thanks, Dan. I should have realized that I guess, since I had just written to Jack about the appealing equal-end serpentine shape of his 66.

Great choices this week....that one arm trapper is a real looker!!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

That old Farmer gets out now and then...maybe more often now that I have another one coming!

Thanks, Robert. Congrats on another old cross Farmer coming in! :thumbup::thumbup: Are you trying to "corner the market"?? I went to a gun&knife show today, and there were a LOT of fine used SAKs to be had for what seemed to me to be good prices (no deals on Alox, though). I saw more desirable knives today than I ever had in the half-dozen shows I've been to; I wish I had brought a lot more cash! I picked up an older Explorer (I think, no parcel hook anyway) in really great shape, and found a Case stag Peanut for a price I couldn't refuse. I walked out with 2 dimes, 2 nickels, and 5 pennies as my only cash!

Thanks GT, I thought I'd copy you today Not sure why Arthur Wright & Son refer to this pattern as a 'Senator', (though they've turned out 'Barlow's without a long bolster), but it's a nice knife I think. It might be worth practicing on a knife you hold less dear GT, but straight-edge knives are certainly the easiest to sharpen. Hope you get to use it soon my friend :thumbup:

Your "senator" and 2014 Forum knife look like a matched pair, Jack! :thumbup::thumbup:

This pair seems to cover all the bases.

You can say that again, Lemmy; very pretty pair!

A wharncliffe lockback whittler that Joel Chamblin built for me, is in my pocket on this cold and snowy day,

CTS XHP, stag and 14k gold pins

...Here's a little 3 3/8" SBJ from Joel Chamblin I don't carry as often as I should. A fine little knife, Amber stag and CPM-154.

Kris and Gary, those stag Chamblins are very different, but both astonishing!! :thumbup::thumbup:

...

...

Great photos, Bob; that Beer Scout of yours is my favorite example of the model! :thumbup::thumbup: (I have PILES of oak leaves if you need them for future photo projects; you're welcome to come pick them up, no charge! )

Just keeps on getting in my pocket. Have a great weekend.

Holy Mammoth Molars, John, that is one stunning knife!!

Welcome to BF, Jose!! Cool photo of your trapper "in action".

Carrying this with me today.

Congrats on the fetching BullBuster, btb! :thumbup:

They both got a dye bath today. The stag on the case needed some help as did the NF. Both much better now.

Whoa!! That Case looks especially incredible to me! :thumbup: Can you share the details of your dyeing technique?

What a beautiful 38, pwnc!! I'll probably dream about that one tonight!

Dynamic duo today, Mark! :thumbup: What variety of apple is featured in your photo?

Thanks for the super pics, Woodrow, including that delicious-looking meal. Wrong national park, but your knives are a couple of Old Faithfuls! :thumbup::thumbup:

Good to see you able to spend some time on The Porch again, Stephen! :thumbup:

This week, the knives I used for food prep were:
the usual Opinel #7

a Rough Rider Electrician

and a stainless Schrade 93OT (thanks, Fausto)

- GT

Stephen, thank you for the compliment.

GT, thank you as well. I'm all set on the leaves, thank you.

 

[SAK Guy]

Thank you Gary!! Love the 93OT and can't wait to see your new acquisitions!!!! :thumbup:

That sounds kind of unseasonal Stephen. It's been mild here, but barely stopped raining for a fortnight. I got soaked yesterday! :grumpy: Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend :thumbup:

Your "senator" and 2014 Forum knife look like a matched pair, Jack! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks GT, they work well together :thumbup:

Great pics Woodrow :thumbup:
