What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I was at the dentist also! Had to give me Valium because I'm a big baby, Ha!

Oh come on! It's just a drill! I have serious TMJ problems caused by a few injuries and a misaligned bite, so I have to be aware during procedures to make sure nothing slips out of place.

Beautiful Barlow :thumbup: I had a tooth pulled last week, starting to look like one of the cast of Deliverance! :eek: :D
 
Thanks Gev !!! I'm as happy with this 83 as I've been with any GEC knife and more so than some. It's a pretty good one for EDC
 
You sure have some beautiful old knives Rob :thumbup:
Really nice Catts

Nice photo of the Forum knife Jack ! :)

I have been in a Catt mood this week and now that the weather has cooled down, I have coat pockets. All of these are about 3 & 3/8ths closed.:

I certainly enjoy seeing what everyone posts in this thread :thumbup::thumbup:, but I seem incapable of keeping up! :( Here are some posts that caught my eye as I was scrolling through 3 or 4 days' worth of posts.

This guy back in the pocket.

Sweet swayback jack, Billy! :cool:

Going old school today :D

Jerren, fantastic knife, but I like the slide rule, too! :thumbup::thumbup: What's the longhorn on its sheath?

...
Nice knives folks! (GT, I'm glad to see the 93OT :))

Fausto
:cool:
I'm VERY happy to have it, Fausto; thank you!!! :D:thumbup: And Frank has one of the newer ones that also looks good.

This pattern rings a number of my chimes.
I dunno. It is what it is. Taylor/Chinese or not, it seems to be a decently made knife with decent blade steel. Feels about equal in quality to the common Schrade and Camillus knives I grew up with. A GEC it is not, but neither were they.
Excellent point, Frank; sometimes nostalgia has me gazing through rose-colored glasses that don't give a true picture of how things were.

...Today I got a custom Barlow in stainless & bone and a production jack in carbon and stag...

Wow, that dark stag is impressive, Eric! :eek::thumbup:


^^ Looking good Jack, I sure do like those scratted bone ancients!

...Carried this Catt and my Bark River Northstar today:

Holy Newt Noses, Primble, that Catt is amazing and the lanyard on your fixed blade is SUPER appealing! :thumbup::thumbup:

Just outstanding, Gev; eye (and soul) candy!! :thumbup:

Couple of cool classics, Bill; VERY nice!! :cool:

An interesting knife for sure. Schrade OT knives also have a couple of other interesting patterns in their Stockman based lineup: 1 having a Punch called a Saddler:thumbup: and another sporting a pair of scissors:cool:

As I like small lockbacks, I ordered one of their 3 OTs in the sawn delrin. I already have one in Buffalo Horn and it has very good F&F. The price for these Chinese made lockbacks is very modest, the price for some of the 'original' US made lockbacks is astronomic, not sure they merit it as they were quite rugged but unrefined knives as far as I can make out.:confused:

Ron Most kind of you my friend:thumbup:

Thanks, Will

Very nice Northstar and I really like the original leather work.

A serious cooked pork tenderloin patina occurred on this older GEC 73. :D:thumbup:


Thank you sir and that pork loin patina looks great ! :)
