What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Peregrin]

:thumbup: I hope you will enjoy it as much as your Boker.
I have investigated : the fishtail (queue de poisson) has been invented by a certain Genès Lacroix (brand Véritable Lacroix in Thiers) on oct 17th (like my birthday!) 1894 (no , not my year).
It was used in the western area we call "Pays de Loire", (South of Brittany, Vendée, Anjou..) and was used by women in the kitchen and in the garden as well. It was offered as a boy's first knife too.
Now it is quite rare and only Thérias (Parapluie brand) and "Au Sabot" still make it (au Sabot with fancy acrylic handles). I am currently waiting for a Pradel rendition, a NOS I found in... Vendée.

Here is a Lacroix (borrowed picture) with lackered handles.

Down is a map to help locating some knives (not comprehensive). They are now quite all made in Thiers and around (well, those not originating from Far East) but Langres / Nogent was a big contender not so long ago, famous for the stainless steel. (Let me know if this is inappropriate in this thread).

Looks good to me Jolipapa.

Here's mine today.

Oh and I love that line "Sprinkles are for winners"! Cracks me up every time I hear it.

My Son's EDC. He just got his CHL. Not really sure where he got the cutlery from..... though I assume it came as a treat in his cereal. I really need to pick me up a box.

Looks like it is getting some good use Dean. :thumbup:

Thanks, Rob. It's a real slicer!

A pair of Keen Kutters ridin' in my britches today:

And a beautiful pair they are, too!

I'll be sportin' the 2015 CSC SFO BFC Serpentine Double End Jack all the way to the right, in fact I have a few pockets I think I'll carry the 2013 & 2014 forum knives as well. Ya'll have a great day.

That Congress Jack looks like its had some carry time. Nice shot of the recent forum knives.

I'm carrying this pair today.

 

[Itsasportsbar]

I've carried this one for the past couple of days.

Thanks for the research, and that map is great.

GEC viper that I got off the exchange.

Just arrived today from France a D'Albrac Le Liadou in spicy juniper wood. I've been watching the Youtube videos of Stephan and this knife really caught my eye and my first into the French regional knives.

Great looking knife. I have never heard of them. Thank you for sharing. Now I have something to go read about

No doubt, and "David" holds his own quite nicely:thumbup:

Mornin' folks, I'm back with a real camera and a way to upload pics instead of my phone so I'll be back to postin' in traditional with a passion.

That's good news Ted, I thought we'd lost you to the 1%ers! :thumbup:

Cool pic! :thumbup:

That IS a big one! I'd previously wondered if you just had small hands! :thumbup:

Very nice

Nice catch!

A pair of Keen Kutters ridin' in my britches today:

Primble a fine pair they are I must say!! :thumbup::thumbup:

New Northwoods Gunstock, it is supposed to be a factory second but I can't find a single flaw. No gaps or cracks, tight spring maybe a 6 or 7 pull, good walk and talk, sharp clean edge. Not sure what is "wrong" with it but I like it .

Tom - I really wish you had not posted that beauty! I knew I should have bought one of those, Oh Well!

Nice soup Gus! :thumbup:

GEC viper that I got off the exchange.

hamsco - Love that Red Snake! :thumbup: One of my favorite patterns.

Totin' old school today!! I get the biggest kick out of all them young whippersnappers at work when I pull something like this out of my pocket at the lunch table!
The 1st thing one of them said today was, "What in the he-double-hockey-sticks kind of knife is that? And then the old man proceeded to take them to school on what I like to
call "Classical Cutlery"

 

[Jsega51]

I like that Ron! Usually when I show off a new knife, everyone's first question is about the cost. I get a lot of eyeballs bugging out when they ask me about my customs...LOL

Is the punch scalloped out on the other side??
