What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[deskil]

That's a notable copperhead, deskil! :thumbup: How is the Klaas ram's horn?
- GT

Thanks for the notice, sir. The pile side is not as nicely detailed as the mark side, but comes alive in sunlight, at the right angles. I was surprised at the newer Klass's quality of construction, for the price.
I also have a Remington canoe with burl wood, like the one you sometimes show, that was far above expectations, as well.

[KBA]

Prayers for your mom HST


Thanks Ron & Jake. Im loving the Tommi. My great grandfather used to make Christmas ornaments for my grandmother and mom. I consider them a part of my family's treasure and thought I would pick up the tradition. First one almost done.

 

[knarfeng]

Moved HST's post and a couple of replies to the Lounge.
Smoke Raised for your Mom.

 

[Gevonovich]

Working on a Christmas ornament. We'll see how it turns out.

Awesome knife and idea, Brett!!!

Striking knife, Gev! :thumbup: For some reason, it reminded me of the old song "The Girl From Ipanema", even though the knife probably isn't tall or tan or young (it is lovely, though)



A small scrimshaw Rough Rider stockman (I'll show the side I show less frequently)

And a Vic Minichamp

- GT

Love that tune and listen to many artists renditions. Listening now. Thank you Gary. Love the shaw and mini:thumbup::thumbup:

My 18 in Natural Stag arrived today and went straight into my pocket ( after pictures ) along with my 73 . My 77 was on kitchen duty during pictures. Was afraid that a knife as small as the 18 would not be available with some Deep Stag . Did not do too bad IMO. Who ever did the finish on this little 18 must love their job. It is a little jewel.

Harry

Love the stag! Just beautiful! Thanks for the compliment on my carry

Gev - A timeless pair you have there today my friend!




I started out this morning with my 77 Red Saw Cut Clip Barlow in my pocket. I literally within the last couple of hours have added a new friend to join it.
Pam and I are visiting our daughter for the weekend. I made a stop this afternoon at one of the local establishments that sell things with triggers and blades. I looked down in one of the cases and I immediately saw something that reminded me of our friend Gary and his daughter that lives in Spain. I could not resist this Aitor Castor Grande with Bubinga Wood handles. This is the 1st time I have had one of these in hand. I will say that is a well made, smooth functioning folder with some of the most beautiful wood handles that I own. :thumbup:
I will also add that "This ain't no little knife!"

All the bases covered in style, my friend!! Thanks for you kind words I love my Aitor,,,just a great knife

Loving this knife

I see why...fantastic:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[combatjiujitsu]

Little OT today. Hopefully get the weekend off

 

[mitch4ging]

Tim - that orange really does pop and the weave look is very handsome. Fantastic knife. I really do need to get my hands on one of his knives.

I am carrying a small fixed from HK and a coyote in osage today. Has been my carry for most of the week.

Nice pair, Wilson! Another great looking Coyote!

 

[TsarBomba]

Another late night, another day behind. I expect to sleep in tomorrow, catch up on the GAW thread and finally choose the winning post, and then brew up some strong coffee and get caught up once and for all in this thread.

For Old Friend Friday, the Case #094 in "peacock Appaloosa" (why not just say "blue-green" ) gets its first carry in a long while, replacing ol' Mac and bracketed between what's already become my favorite new friend and my "knife of 2015", the Anton Wingen Jr. Barlow. I'm glad I had a couple chances to carry the Wingen this week, as it is still one of my favorite Barlows ever.



Happy weekend, everybody!

 

[Will Power]

Tom S & GT Thanks for your appreciation:thumbup: what you're looking at GT is a CASE Swayback Gent in Creme brulee Barnboard and Damascus. Grand small knife with first rate finish/build.

Ron that's a GIANT Aitor you've got old of there (when looking at the 77) nice photo. My Aitor is the small version, great slicer with the leaf blade.

Regards, Will

Very nice, great looking Barlow!

 

[5K Qs]

…
My knives for the last two days (Presidential EDC not photographed). First up, yesterday was a Red Soup Bone Barlow.



And today, an old friend, an ebony Huckleberry Boy's knife.

I had some delicious white chicken chili on Thursday, Dean, but your Thursday soup gives much longer-lasting enjoyment! And that ebony Boy’s Knife is so classy! :thumbup:

Working on a Christmas ornament. We'll see how it turns out.

Cool photo, Brett! What type of wood are you using?

Congrats on the new stag Coyote, Harry! You sure have a knack for tracking down amazing stag!! :thumbup:

Congrats on the big new Aitor, Ron! That bubinga is superb, and I’ll bet you’re going to enjoy that leaf-shaped blade. :thumbup: A Spanish BF member, Sevilla, told me that style of knife is called solsonesa; I don’t have one by Aitor, but I have a smaller one by Cudeman that’s a joy to use.

It's just 3 3/8 in.

…I never think to mention it, but I always have a mini-champ on my keys. The only problem with it is I spend minutes opening and closing the wrong tool before I find the blade I want.

Thanks for the Boker size info, Rachel - splendid knife! :thumbup: I can relate to the “tool hunt” on the Minichamp. I probably use the scissors and the little wharncliffe blade the most, and still invariably start looking on the wrong side of the knife!

…GT - I like the scrimshaw feather...
…
For me today and for stag Saturday, fresh out of the mail...polished stag sabre grind 85.

Thanks, Jake; r8shell’s got talent!! Congrats on the stunning new 85! :thumbup:

…
GT: You got it, Colt in stag sowbelly frame. I like to use it as my main whittler. Those are old bed springs that are along my desert hike. Find lots of old cans, bottles, car parts mixed in with the cacti. Along with animal bones…
These two today for the river walk...

Thanks for confirming my ID attempt, Steve. I have one of those Colt stag bone sowbellies, and like it a lot.

Thanks for the notice, sir. The pile side is not as nicely detailed as the mark side, but comes alive in sunlight, at the right angles. I was surprised at the newer Klass's quality of construction, for the price.
I also have a Remington canoe with burl wood, like the one you sometimes show, that was far above expectations, as well.

Thanks for the info, deskil. I’ve often run across Klaas ram’s horn examples on dealer websites and have been tempted to grab one as my first example of ram’s horn. Your “recommendation” is the “last straw”, and I’ll pick one up next time I go knife shopping. And I agree, those burl wood Remington canoes are amazing bargains. I picked up mine at a gun&knife show, and wish I could find them online; I bought a matching Remington peanut online, and if I could find more patterns with that burl (Sportsman Series, Insignia Edition is what they call it, I think) I’d grab them in a heartbeat. :thumbup:

Love that tune and listen to many artists renditions. Listening now. Thank you Gary. Love the shaw and mini:thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks, Gev.

Happy weekend, everybody!

Very cool pic of another terrific trio, Tsar! :thumbup: I wouldn’t mind seeing a more conventional shot of that toothpick sometime; is that a big one?

Tom S & GT Thanks for your appreciation:thumbup: what you're looking at GT is a CASE Swayback Gent in Creme brulee Barnboard and Damascus. Grand small knife with first rate finish/build.

Thanks for the ID, Will. Now that you've told me what it is, I remember seeing that very knife in one of your "plant in a pot" pics (another example of "recognition" being easier than "recall").

It's Saturday, so I can step out of my usual rotation schedule and carry whatever strikes my fancy for "Can't Wait Weekend". :thumbup:
Here are some of my Easter weekend "fancy-strikers".
All of my Colts - a buckshot bone teardrop, a black stag bone sowbelly, a black G-10 titanium-coated carbon steel canoe, and a stag canoe:

Happy Easter to all!
- GT

 

[deltaboy]

Nice Colts.
I carrying a Remington Barlow and a #10 Opniel.

Ron that's a GIANT Aitor you've got old of there (when looking at the 77) nice photo. My Aitor is the small version, great slicer with the leaf blade.

Regards, Will

Will - Thanks my friend. The word on the box that best describes this knife is Grande! It does appear to be a very capable slicer.

Congrats on the big new Aitor, Ron! That bubinga is superb, and I’ll bet you’re going to enjoy that leaf-shaped blade. :thumbup: A Spanish BF member, Sevilla, told me that style of knife is called solsonesa; I don’t have one by Aitor, but I have a smaller one by Cudeman that’s a joy to use.

- GT

Gary - Thank you my friend. This is my 1st knife from Spain. It appears to be well constructed, with quality materials throughout. For some reason I associated the Aitor to you, but I obviously was incorrect on that. I have seen many in these pages and having already heard from Gev & Will about the ones they have. I may try a smaller version to carry and leave this one in the Kitchen. My favorite today is that Colt Teardrop.

Today just seems like a good day for a couple of 73's. Happy Easter to all!

Pachinko balls

Carrying my Hess Tiburon at my cabin today. Every time I carry this knife I'm tempted to buy another from them.

These two for the weekend at the country.

Thanks, Gary. Speaking of classy, that Colt's no slouch.

Pachinko balls

Now that's a knife, Gev! :thumbup: Are their several Pachinko ball designs there?

My go to. Big Jack in the back pocket today-

Happy Saturday All!
