What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Raining hideously for days on end and dark 18 hours a day already. The stray cat has been thankful to exchange her quarters in the shed with slap-up meals and a week-end in front of a roaring stove indoors:thumbup:

This went on wood collecting duties with me, got to keep warm.

Regards, Will

That camembert looks a lot like a sodbustert!
Vialis is a great name for outstanding knives.

It is a great utility like a sod and is well made. I actually like the blade shape better than a traditional sodbuster. Full flat and fairly thinly ground, sharp, snappy, no halfstop, pretty flush in both positions, no noticeable gaps, no wobble, expertly contoured handles and pins, really nice boxwood and comes with a leather pouch. I like

What steel is in there Camembert?

I believe the steel is Sandvik 12C27.

Great looking stag on that one Will.

Thank you Eric, it's much prized by me and I felt lucky to have landed it- especially here in Europe!

This one just caught my eye this morning...

 

[Old Engineer]

Thanks for the comments. Gary, I am happy to have this one. I sharpened my Loveless on a 1k Shapton and a little Formby's on the handle. Besides the early years, Bob sewed all his own sheaths. I gave the sheath a cleaning with Fiebing's saddle soap. The knife cams into place for a very secure fit. Again today, with #759 in Sambar stag

A tapered tang from the master, fine maroon linen micarta liners.

As always Kris , great looking knives and pictures !!!! I also appreciate your complete descriptions of the knives.

I don't think I've shown my "kitchen knives" for this week, and it's almost time to select knives for the week ahead. So without further ado, here are the knives that helped me prepare food this past week.
Rough Rider one-arm trapper

Taramundi I bought in Seville, Spain; what jackknife says of Opinels ("They cut like the dickens") is true of this Taramundi, too

Opinel #7 is always on kitchen duty (photo from when it was new)

Beautiful knives gents :thumbup: Sounds like a beautiful, peaceful day Stephen. I'm glad that you're getting better weather than we are here, where it's barely stopped raining for a fortnight :thumbup:

It really was a fantastic day. Here's hoping that some good weather is heading your way soon. :thumbup:

Good to see Earl made it to Germany Andi.

totin' my John Primble India Steel Works Crown Jack:

Not sure how I missed this one earlier, but it's a real beauty. :thumbup:

I went for an early walk on the beach this morning. Something about the waves, breeze, and bright sunshine... Anyway, it's a glorious day here, and I hope it is for all of you as well.

Nice file work my friend ! :thumbup:

I picked up this 1982 Boker Whittler in thuya wood today. I just finished cleaning, oiling, and sharpening it up, and I plan to carry it tomorrow. Even at its age, the wood still has a pine/ceder smell to it.

Great-looking Camembert. I have a friend with the same model, and I admire it often :thumbup:
