What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[B.F.U]

You miss a day and so many great knives are posted it's hard to catch up.

Well done everyone.

Thanks Gev and GT for the comments on my Indian River Jack.

Nice pair Whetstone and I'm liking the Davidson Jack.

This is it today. A TC Barlow and a Vic Electrician that I'm becoming more and more fond of.

Have a good one all!

Ken K.

Awesome TC!

The Sheepfoot in Smooth Ivory Bone was my first GEC. I've loved carrying and using it. I decided to try to dye it with Hibiscus tea a while back and it didn't go well, so I dyed it black today. Probably the only black bone TC haha

I'm also carrying this beast

Thanks for all the comments everyone! The porch has been my go to place for a while now. Everyone here is so nice. Not to mention all the sweet eye candy. I've been reading this thread from the beginning too. I'm about 200 pages behind this one. It's interesting reading the old and the new. I particularly love seeing Marks fish barlows. Wow! You've got a winner there 😃

Then I am carry the BULL...whitcha'a don't mess with...

PS. I can never get my focus correct...oh well.

Too cold and too lazy to go brace the winds for a decent picture, but I'm toting these two.

The #98 fits into my back pocket surprisingly well and the #77 is just a pure joy to own!

Nothing wrong with those knives or the picture Johnny !!!! Thanks for showing them .

Constant rain all day, carried this..to open this long awaited 92 (Only took 13 days to get to me )

Congrats on your new 92, Tim! I’m sure you’re a better man for patiently awaiting its arrival. Couple of high-class knives you posted. :thumbup:

That’s an honorable Boker, FBC! :thumbup:

Got my first TC Barlow today, needless to say it went straight into my pocket.

I've had mine for 2 days.. it's my Favorite. Great choice to carry bud..

…

Congrats on the hot new Charlows, ms3902 and Kymedic!

…
These are with me today. Just got the sodbuster -- it's my first one, and also my first "yeller" Case.
(Had to get that color, to get a full size CV blade. I kinda hate it... But also kinda like it a whole lot. )


…

That’s a heck of a trio you’re sporting, puukkoman! :thumbup: I was surprised how much I liked a Sodbuster when I got one.

Pretty much star-struck by this one...Pepe makes one heck of a knife.

Good golly, Miss Molly! That’s one hotsy-totsy knife; congrats on another stunner, David! :thumbup:

The Canoe has become my new favorite pattern. Buck Canoe and Case Baby Butterbean today planting veggies and prepping for the deer season with my stepson.

…

I’m biased, since somehow I’ve become totally enamored with canoes, but I’m going to compliment you on your new favorite pattern, Punches! Those are a couple of honored examples of the canoe fleet!

…
Indeed GT. That Tree on the bolster just made me gravitate to it the first time I saw one.
Absolutely admire that Scrimshaw stockman. What's the equation on it mean? I could cheat and look it up but it's much more meaningful and perhaps a story behind it from you.
…

Thanks, Dan. Don’t know how much detail you want or how much math background you have, but I’ll try to give some brief comments about the scrimshaw equation. It’s called Euler’s identity, and is often identified as the “most beautiful” formula in mathematics (e.g., by votes of mathematicians, or studies of what formulas activate the “beauty appreciation” areas of the brains of eminent mathematicians). The first term, e^(i*Pi), is a special case of the “direction vector” that can be used (along with a magnitude factor) to locate numbers in the complex plane; comparison of power series expansions of e, sine, and cosine functions show that e^(i*Angle) = cos(Angle) + i*sin(Angle), so if you know trigonometry you can verify that e^(i*Pi) = cos(Pi) + i*sin(Pi) = -1 + i(0) = -1. What’s cool is the way that the formula shows how five fundamental mathematical constants (numbers) are related: e is the base of natural logarithms, i = √-1 is the unit for the imaginary component of complex numbers, Pi is the ratio of circumference to diameter in a circle, 1 is the unit for the real component of complex numbers and is the identity for multiplication, and 0 is the identity for addition. Lots of mathematical “heavy hitters” in that line-up! I’m glad you asked! (I hope you’re glad you asked, too. )

…
RJ and Old Baldy for me today :thumbup:

Couple of illustrious members of your holdings, Jack! :thumbup:

Will, your picture reminded me I haven't used the bigger brother for a while. A bit heavy in the pocket, perfect for a shoulder bag.

That’s an imposing knife, JP; very cool!

Today, my GSK, a gift from Jake (Jsega51) because it feels like a new/Old Friends Friday.


Plus, the Coyote I've been carrying daily since it arrived because I always want a small sharp straight edge with me.

Ideal selections, Rachel; I enjoy reading the rationales for your choices!

A 77 Clip from Kentucky. Thanks Mark. :thumbup:

That’s immaculate, Bob! :thumbup:

Powderhorn for today :thumbup:

Your Powderhorn is quite an irresistible toothpick, A.L.! :thumbup:

…Have a dress/friday going to a meeting knife on me today. My First Ohta slipjoint in burled maple.


…

Impressive Ohta, Steve! :thumbup: (The burl is almost like camouflage on that granite/marble/whatever background. )

Not very nice out today , so just staying in and carrying a pocket full because I can .

…
Harry

“Not very nice” is an understatement, Harry; I think our airport reported more than 8 inches of snow yesterday. That pocketful you posted probably kept your attitude pretty warm though; ingenious!

Early Cocobolo Catt Bare-head Jack, iron bolsters and liners, hard snaps, closed length 3.25 inches:

Imperial Scout (1936-1953 era) with composition scales - bought as a package deal with the Catt.

Inspiring pair, Primble! That Imperial is quite a piece of history. :thumbup:

…
I have 2 favorites with me today.

I can see why those are favorites, jrawk; I find that Esquire to be a real knockout! :thumbup:

New Case Medium Stockman. Some blade rub, but I love the Chestnut bone, and I'm enjoying it as a nice everyday carry.

 

[Old Engineer]

I think it lived a large part of it's life in a damp toolbox.

( Corraled me another nice Catt Whittler today )

Since you asked:

It spoke to me to stop at this point.

That was quite a restoration project well completed Mr Primble !!!

Thank you very much for your kind comments on my yesterday's carry !!!!

David, I like how the lanyard hole is placed high in the handle on that LC...great choice of shield also!

Thanks Jake - hard to beat a large federal for a LC :thumbup:

 

[Mack]

I'm finally carrying my all time favorite knife again. I found one of these on my way to school when I was 7 or 8 years old. I carried it every day until I was well into my 20s and somehow lost it.
I replaced it last week and will not lose this one.

Fine stag Mr. Harry.

Now Mr. Jack is M.I.A. - I reckon we might need to summon a herd of ole English hound dogs to search for him if he does not appear soon. He might have slipped and fell into a moat around one of them old castles..

I almost bit off more than I could chew with that old Catt.

Very well done Gevo !!!

Harry

Yes indeed ! :thumbup::thumbup:

This is really awesome actually! I love the rustic arrow theme, it's one of those images I could put on everything and be happy.

One arm razor or if more specifically a Stew's blade when dealing with GEC. I'm pretty sure I've heard it called another name or two, too.
Hope this helped.

Here's one(of many) thread on the subject:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...-cut-out-at-the-tip-the-blade-Useful-or-silly

If it has a clip point and a razor, equal length, I've often seen it labeled as a "razor trapper". "One armed razor" if the second blade is a shorter 'pen' blade, or there's only the razor. I noticed yours has the higher blade-side point at the end of the razor. I'm sitting here with a razor trapper in my pocket, just pulled it out to compare. No pic offhand, it's short 'n heavy, pakistan made, yes I know the crappy rep those knives have. At a glance mine looks different. Hmm.... The front point is worn down almost even with the back one, from some sharpening and sheer use. Was my father's carry knife twenty to thirty years since. Some days I choose to carry this over a Case or Boker, because of the one handed option. I've pulled this one for everything from cutting bandage tape to chiseling out a damaged doorframe, gardening, fishing, eating. I also sanitize it before eating or medical use.
Parker Cut. Co calls theirs a "Pillbuster", etches that one the blades. Frost a one-arm with nice blade etching, so long as it stays on a shelf and isn't handled much.
Getting back to the thread topic (and digging further in my pockets), here's a frost canoe that needed tlc, and a Case camping / boyscout knife on my belt for a backup tool. Nothing top end, but they keep me going.

Thanks guys - I was referring to the odd blade tip- is That for one hand opening?

Sent by P F M !

Thanks guys.
Tony, yes, the cut out on the tip of the blade is what you snag on something to open the blade one handed. This one works so-so....easy yo get to the half stop but a little tricky to get it all the way open. Thankfully, this Boker has a light spring so I sure with some practice it would be doable.

I still am totin' the Boker.
