What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Half/Stop]

That beauty ought to make fine company, Ron!

Good company indeed my friend! :thumbup:

A cold day in the river:

Red bone by the river. Great knife and photo.

Good looking Northfield my friend! :thumbup:

Very chic, Ron! :thumbup: Seems like I've seen several very covetable examples of smooth ivory bone recently (you, Harry, Brett, at least).

- GT

Gary - Thanks! I like the green Farmer. :thumbup:

Carrying the Dixie today.

Jeff - I love this knife. It is everything I think a stockman pattern should be. I have decided that I must have one, and all I can find is the micarta or stag versions. I think the hunt is on for some Bone or Osage!

Leaving you time for coon fingering and chicken-eying I expext ! :thumbup:

I really felt the Cats would not make it too far this year and they proved me right.

Primble - CFing and CEing is a great way to pass the time!:thumbup: At least your Cats did make it to the tournament! :thumbup:

Today I am carry this Case 06247 Pen knife, vintage 1974. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

 

[Flickertail]

 

[rockgolfer]

Had this one 5 minutes and made quick work of the tri-tip



Now I am carrying this pair today and have no doubt all my cutting duties will be covered!

 

[Primble]

I've really enjoyed my one example from the latest run of 25's. It's definitely a "little big knife" and is a great shape for tasks that involve holding the blade (like scraping or using the edge to lift things like watch batteries). The wide blade gives a lot of real estate to hold onto. I have a Beagle on reserve but it better be a pretty nice knife to kick this 25 out of my watch pocket!

Cool picture - knife looks great ! :thumbup:

Had to be an Oates today (http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ence-of-The-Lambsfoot?p=15943799#post15943799) :thumbup:

Good call on the fine Oates Mr. Jack. :thumbup:

Primble, that dogleg is a beaut!
Very nice knife, Jack. What is it called when the bolsters have those vertical or horizontal lines?

Thank you Sappy - interesting question for Mr. Jack.

Always enjoy the red bones Mr. Halfstop. :thumbup::thumbup:

[BigBiscuit]

Thanks Ron. I love the Red Bone covers on those old Case knives. :thumbup:

Todays carry.

 

[PunchesInBunches]

This was the one that caused my heart to skip a beat or two and love traditionals in 2006. Though it is not the original, but a replacement as I had handed over the original to my step son three years ago and found I couldn't live without her. This was the model that got me to lay down my Benchmades and Kershaws. Then, I went to my first Case show at an Ace Hardware Master Dealer about five minutes from my home and that was the nail in the coffin for modern folders. Totin' this one. So, it's back to my roots today.

 

[Jack Black]

Very nice knife, Jack. What is it called when the bolsters have those vertical or horizontal lines?

Thank you :thumbup: Err...'Fancy bolsters'!

In this case the bolsters are fluted, but also (more unusually) coined. There's a lot of different names for bolsters, and more than one name for some bolsters. I was hoping to find a diagram online to post, but I can't seem to find anything

Edit - Here are a few types :thumbup:

Good call on the fine Oates Mr. Jack. :thumbup:

Thank you good sir, lovely Catts :thumbup:

Hope you're finding that one OK Bob :thumbup:

 

[Macchina]

Some "Spring" scouting for deer and turkey.

 

[BigBiscuit]

It's more than "okay" Jack. :thumbup: Thank you very much.

 

[philllll]

 

[Will Power]

Ron hope you can get a Dixie, really beautiful knife with fine assortment of blades. It carries very tidy too, sleek knife that isn't hulking or playing the pocket-anchor either. I have a Northfield in Blackwood, worth keeping your eye out for these as they have slant bolsters which enhance the looks, in my view at least.

My favourite lockback is always close to hand.

Thanks, Will

 

[Jack Black]

Loving your pics :thumbup:

It's more than "okay" Jack. :thumbup: Thank you very much.

That's nice to hear my friend :thumbup:

Looking good Phil :thumbup:

 

[Travman]

Totin' a few Catts today :

I love seeing every knife that is posted in this thread, but I especially enjoy these Catts. Thanks for exposing me to these beautiful knives.

Just got this one back after an extended loan to a friend. I knew I missed it because I kept looking to buy another in case this one didn't make its way back.

I love looking at this big Barlow, but it is almost too nice for me. Also, I haven't figured out how to take pictures of cocobolo yet. It is hard to capture the dark wood patterns.

Spending some much needed time with Cleopatra today. Enjoying a great friend, good beer, and some fresh bread from my friends bakery, all along side a beautiful creek. A couple of fish coming up from under the bank to catch some eats. These three in stag are with me,

Marbles Handy Hunter, Todd Davison swayback, Rick Menefee trapper
...

...

...

Looks like the stuff dreams are made of, Kris! What are the red-branched bushes next to the creek?

Bob and Flickertail, those are a couple of dandy dark-handled Northfield Barlows! :thumbup: I’ll bet they bring you some inner peace!

...
I was at the market today and picked up these two beauties along with a few others.

A Vic Soldier dated 1982 and a Vic Classic in sterling.

Have a good evening everyone.

Ken K.

Delightful pair of Vics, Ken! That market of yours must really be something! :thumbup:

Nice bevy of SAK's Gary. :thumbup:

... Looks like you have an Alox rainbow in your pocket today! :thumbup:...

...
Gave me a good chuckle GT - not taken personal. Nice assortment of Alox SAKs. :thumbup:

Looks like you like the multifunctional aluminized Swiss jewel cutting devices a lot GT !!!!!
Thanks for the kind comments !!! The only person that I did meet that is on the Forums was Ken Coats . Had a nice conversation with him while I was there . I had never met him before , but had E-mailed him , but he is an easy guy to talk to and he and I probably will be talking again in the near future. I just have to figure out what I want to do yet.
I would encourage you to come over next year if you can. They seemed to have everything there , from Rough Riders to customs and lots of older knives too.

Harry

Gary - Thanks! I like the green Farmer. :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments on my Alox SAKs, Bob, Jack, Primble, Harry, and Ron. I certainly do have a serious case of Alox Pox and am always on the lookout for Alox to keep mine company!
Harry, thanks for the report on the Badger Knife Show, and thanks for sending me info about it!
Ron, that red bone Case pen knife is dazzling! :thumbup:

Totally deluxe Fighting Rooster, GasMan! :thumbup: What are the handles made of?

...
The dark side with illumination.

Delectable, Tim!

Well, this week was thoroughly awful. My only impetus tonight is posting the week's carries from the camera roll and getting some shut-eye. Tomorrow morning I'll be reading all the dozens of pages I've fallen behind (10 pages just from the last time I read the thread marking replies!!! ), but I don't know if I can promise any longer to respond to very much at all. So this is what I managed for sports theme week after Sunday's Buffalo Bills combo.

Monday, the NY Islanders of the NHL:



Tuesday, Georgia Tech of the NCAA -- by tradition, our colors were "blue and old gold" but the white apparently counts now:



Wednesday, the NY Mets of Major League Baseball (it's back, baby!) -- yes, that is Mac peeking in from the background:



Thursday, the Miami Heat of the NBA:



Friday, Scuderia Ferrari of F1 racing -- this was not as heavy a carry as you might think :



Saturday, Yamaha (specifically the #46 of Valentino Rossi) of MotoGP:



Back tomorrow after I get some zzz's and pick a normal carry without themes or challenges for once.

Dynamite job with your sports colors theme, Tsar! :thumbup: Including the relevant caps or photos makes the display even more impressive. My unsolicited and free advice to you (and it’s worth every penny) is to do a “reset” as far as commentary on the massive backlog of posts that have rolled by while you’ve been dealing with “life issues” like work, plumbing, etc. Giving yourself a “fresh start” will give you a sense of welcome relief, I’ll wager.

...

Very distinguished, Jack!

I'd say closer to shrimp than chicken, but the way we cook it mostly tastes like cayenne pepper.
...

Thanks for contributing to my culinary education, Rachel. Next time you post about a crawfish boil, I’ll probably ask you about how and what parts of the boiled crustacean are typically eaten.

Couldn't decide how to follow up Sowbelly Saturday, so after very little deliberation, I decided to mix it up a bit and do Sowbelly Sunday as well

Dynamic, desirable sowbelly, Mike! :thumbup: In my experience, sowbellies have lots of pros, and the only con is they’re tough to get out of your pocket once you let them in.

Totin' a few Catts today :

Mighty fine, first-class, foxy felines, Primble! :thumbup:

@ Gevonovich & 5K Qs : check your pm

Thanks for the link, Jolipapa!

Todays carry.

That looks like a simple, yet dignified, knife, Bob! :thumbup: What model is it?

Thanks for bolstering up my knowledge of bolsters, Jack! :thumbup:

Here are a couple of knives I’ve been using in the kitchen this week (after they had some pocket time a week ago). A full-size Rough Rider one-arm trapper

and a Taylor Imperial little sodbuster (cuts like crazy in the kitchen, but it SQUEAKS loudly on every stroke when I’m slicing things like apples, carrots, or celery )

- GT

Very distinguished, Jack!

Thanks for bolstering up my knowledge of bolsters, Jack! :thumbup:

Thanks my friend :thumbup: I'm afraid that was the only pic I could find online

 

[slide13]

My new Ken Coats swayback helping with a little Sunday evening cocktail. Traditional knives and an Old Fashioned cocktail...a good combination!

Thanks. I think I'll just go with coined for now. That sounds appropriate.

 

[Macchina]

Thanks Ron. I love the Red Bone covers on those old Case knives. :thumbup:

I don't know exactly what it is about this knife but I love it! Is the knife extra big or is the nick smaller than usual? I like the proportions either way...
