What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Northfield Calf Roper

This is a factory second/EDC because of the chip near the middle pin in the bottom picture.

As some here have commented, the blade etch is a little gaudy. It doesn't show well in the picture, and it will fade with time.

This is the best slippy I've ever owned, and it's a user.

This one is not a nail breaker, but it's still stiff enough to inspire confidence with the blades deployed. While it came plenty sharp out of the tube, a few minutes of the 1"x30" belt sander with some fine grit belts made it scary sharp.

Today it's the 2009 Queen Schatt Morgan BF Traditional's Forum Barlow, I love that knife :) :thumbup:, the 2008 BF Traditional's Northwoods Medium Stockman I love that knife too :) :thumbup:.

Hey I know Case only released the Russlock back in 2000, is it considered a "Traditional" pattern or a modern pattern?
 
This past weekend, I went to my parents house to help clean out some of my childhood belongings as they prepare to put the "old" house on the market. After living in the same house since my father built it (35+ years ago), my father built their dream home. I have a lot of mixed emotions about the whole process, being that I was literlly born in that house. Although, I've grown up and moved away, I will always think of it as home.

Anyway, during the cleaning process, I found an old Buck 109 that my Grandpa had given me some years ago as well as some forgotten books, etc. After loading the last few relics into my car, my father tossed me something I hadn't seen in years. I've been totin' it ever since.

I remember seeing this knife when I was a child. Daddy was never one to carry a pocketknife, though my Grandaddy did religiously. I suspect that Grandaddy gave it to him at some point and he simply never carried it. Other than some light rust here and there, it was in what appeared to be unused condition, though it has since opened some boxes, etc. It is quite sharp and has become a welcomed addition to the EDC rotation.

That is a great knife! I love it! And it will always bring good memories. Awesome.
 
These two started out as a GEC Cattle Rancher. I sent it off to Grant Schlegel (forum id: pocketedge) to get the stockman turned into a single blade jack. Then I got the great idea to get some custom scales made for the other two blades.

Now I have two "Goldilocks" knives. Not too big, not too small, but juuuust right.

The new guy: Linerless shadow in black linen micart with a bowtie shield. Top notch fit & finish. It walks, it talks, and cuts like a champ.

The new addition to the family arrived on Monday, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

Here it is with one of the blades splayed out:

Here it is with just the sheepsfoot out to show how it would sit in the hand:

The 2 blader is ingenious! I like the handles and the shield. I expect that the two blades sit on the same one spring as they would have before?

Kharrying my KH trapper again today (avatar knife). Wonderful little knife!

I'm carrying my mini copperlock that Wilgoy gave me, my mini copperhead that Protourist prodded me into, and that burnt white peanut that I've carried a couple of times; it sure needs sharpening though.
 
Yeah, the spring was recycled from the original GEC, and Grant used the spare brass liner to make a template. When closed the blades are wider than the backspring, so he had to mill out some of the liners to give the blades some room to close. The net effect is fairly thick handle slabs that make for a really comfy knife in hand. Overall I'm really happy with it.
