What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[J0LLY71M3]

Thanks, Jake & Gev, but remember that my "rundowns" or "re-caps" are VERY subjective, including the knives posted that day (or past couple of days) that happen to grab my attention for whatever reason. And a knife that doesn't move the needle for me at all one day might send me red-lining a week later!
Your Davisons sure are standouts, Jake! :thumbup: Is this one a drop point? (I also envy how clean your gravel is! )


Thanks, Tom. Can you believe I almost missed your alliteration!



A couple of slick, sleek pairs, JSCHENK!


Erik, I like your 77 and 15, but for whatever reason, I always associate you with this Presidential! :thumbup: So I'm thrilled to see it again!



Harry, that's a spectacular example of the old saying that "good things come in threes"!
Thanks for the cover compliment; RR does that checked bone really well, I think.


Holy Trinity!! :thumbup: Congrats on that superlative trio, David!


That's a seductive knife with unique covers! :thumbup: But I don't recognize it; would you be willing to provide some details on make, model, cover materials some time?


That ebony looks sophisticated at any age, Ken, and the coping blade on the Eureka jack really snagged me for some reason! :thumbup:


That's a stupendous "power couple", Dean! :thumbup:


Singular, snazzy friction folder, sshakari!


deskil, you certainly have some stately, stellar knives! :thumbup:


Ron, I enjoy shiny new knives as much as anyone, but the vintage ones like your Barlow are the ones I find surprisingly significant! :thumbup:


Simple, solid, sensual, superb! :thumbup: (I'm a Farmer fanboy.)


Hope you have a safe and sensational trip/birthday celebration! Your green Lumberjack is splendid! :thumbup: (Maybe I'm not a Farmer fanboy per se, but am enamored with Alox and saws.)


Looks like a seriously satisfying old friend! :thumbup:


Smashing, spotless, surpassing knife, Jack (and, to me at least, a fascinating photo thereof)!! :thumbup:


Super spearpoint Barlow, AusLoX!


That's a swell old KaBar Barlow, Mitch!


Stunning canoe!! :thumbup:


I feel like such a knife novice! I hadn't even considered seasonal changes in EDC, but I'm not a very fashion-forward kind of guy to begin with! Hate to see your Presidential(s) getting a vacation, Dean, but your scratted Ancient is a sterling summer substitute! :thumbup:


Sparkling selection, Tom!! Congrats on the Blues win; is there some hard feelings history in St. Louis/Chicago hockey? The highlights I saw featured lots of assault and battery!


Stylish, sophisticated, startling, and sexy!! :thumbup: Not what I'd expect from you, Primble, except that it's an incredibly attractive and moving knife!


That pair (and photo) is something else, Gev! What is the blade shape of the fixed blade with the J.F. handle called? Congrats on your early harvest!


Congrats on the new model Pioneer, Fausto! I'd love to hear your (and EARL's?) first impressions of a Pioneer with scissors.


Super sweet knife, zolthar! :thumbup: What model is that?


LOL! I hear what you're saying, Mike!


Superior blue Cadet, Travman, but if I were the one wearing shorts, I'd be wary of that plant! :thumbup:

More knives I'm carrying this week include:
a MAM sheepsfoot (not intentionally chosen for Wooden Wednesday, but there it is):

a 5" Marbles scrimshawed lady leg:

a 2 3/4" Taylor-Schrade 18OT Mighty Mite:

- GT

It's a Northwoods Willamette whittler with cross cut mammoth ivory covers.

 

[StoneBeard]

#73 liner lock all week. It has been my assistant cutting a bunch of 1" webbing building climbing/rappelling anchors. This is an older pic as its been a really busy week.

 

[5K Qs]

...
I was Totin' Dixie for Wooden Wednesday

That's a fantastic acquisition, Ron; it looks like a handsome no-nonsense worker! :thumbup:

GT, it's a clip point. Here's a better top down shot. That other pic is taken at a slight angle.

Lots of good ones again today! Loving the Ebony and Ivory Rob.

Haven't carried this one in a little while. Davison #1288, dark brown jig bone, 3-3/8".

Thanks for the extra pic, Jake. Your jigged bone Davison today is magnificent! :thumbup:

Gary and Primble
The old one belong to my father in his youth and those are his initials. Good try though...lol. My sister had it and it was rusting away and I snagged it and cleaned it up and use it almost every day in the kitchen. Gets super sharp and will do the almost any job.

Gary, in the old days (1800's) they were called Green River Buffalo skinners. They were a favorite amongst mountain men and thousands were shipped West in the early days from Greenfield, Massachusetts. They were called Green River knives made by J. Russell at Russell Harrington Cutlery . They were the epitome of quality back in the day. "Green River quality"

Thanks for the enlightenment, Gev; much appreciated! :thumbup:

Thanks GT! It' a 66 Mink Skinner (muskrat).

Thanks for the ID, zolthar; superb stag! :thumbup:

Already on the night stand waitin' to be tossed into my right front pocket, 2009 Queen/Schatt Morgan Traditional's 4th annual knife. (one of my favorites )

That's a winner for sure, Ted!

Everyday for the last 2 months.

​

Amazing how there are several folks on the Porch with uncommon loyalty to their Northfield 77 Barlows!

I've been wanting big, traditional, 18h / 19h century-style Spanish navaja for some time. ...

So, traditional? Well, the blade profile and lock mechanism are. The handle is still space age plastic. The bead is space age metal. But for now, it's my $9.00 navaja made in China, modded in Colorado. I have three more on their way from the same retailer. I may mod them differently, maybe keep one stock, maybe gift them. Maybe make one for a BF giveaway. They're fun, functional, and cheap.

Zieg

Congrats, Zieg, on your modified Eland! Fascinating story and attractive knife! :thumbup:

...
And you are correct regarding the Blues/Hawks, 50 years of bad blood. It is a regional rivalry, and during less civilized times there would be more fights in the stands than on the ice.

I really like the clean lines on the MAM :thumbup:


Felt like carrying a little sunshine today.

Tom, I knew Cards/Cubs was a big rivalry, at least from the Cubs' perspective, but I'm not a serious enough hockey fan to know about the rivalry there. Thanks for the kind words on my Portuguese sheepsfoot. I sure like the cheerful pair you picked out today! :thumbup:

Started to allow the farmer jack to patina. The whittler, rattail, all steel GEC splitback need I say more, my favorite,

Great photo. The colour of that micarta really suits the pattern there.



A recent arrival here. One of a whole host of forum related acquisitions/gifts/purchases that will require a significant post in the coming days once life in the Hebrides has returned to normal. - thanks to Charlie for this one for the time being.

Paul

JSCHENK and Paul, those 38s sure are shapely knives! :thumbup: Paul, I'm eagerly anticipating the post you've promised about some of the knives you've acquired recently.

...
Realised I forget to post what I'm carrying today! :thumbup:

Very distinguished dark duo you're carrying today, Jack! :thumbup:

I'm thinking a 98 Texas Whittler would be an integration of these two in one. True?

jrawk, your Esquire is such a wonderful knife! :thumbup:

I rescued this old Ulster, it has full blades and snaps like a gator!!

Terrific knife, Ernie; the bone is striking! :thumbup:

...
she's a super fine feline
waiting out the rain
its the thunder and lightning
she can't explain

Lotta coins in the pot, Gev, but I'm sure your pair would beat any full house I can put together from my folder holdings! :thumbup:
That cat looks like Little Miss Mischief to me (but I'm not a cat person).

...
Today I'm carrying these two.

Have a great day all!

Ken K.

Nice change of pace, Ken; dark wood and light stag (bone?) along with quite an assortment of blades, I'll bet!

Well - the Ebony & Ivory tune gets played here every now and then. I am playing the Ebony & Ivory tune in the Sleeveboard key today:

( Both knives are around 3.25 inches closed )

A sweet tune it is, Primble; you're playing a song that touches MY soul! :thumbup:

...
Thank you GT and you are right - an unusual piece for me.

I am warming up to that ole Owl on the lady leg Marbles. :thumbup:

Thanks, Primble. Not as notable as the mathematical scrimshaw r8shell did for me, but knives with animals (or any representational art) on them do kind of appeal to me. WHOOO!

[/IMG]

Added a Boker barlow recently - carrying it today. Nice little knife.

Congrats, Atiger; that's a splendid knife! :thumbup:

It's a Northwoods Willamette whittler with cross cut mammoth ivory covers.

Thanks for the ID, JOLLYTIME715; seems like a remarkable piece!! :thumbup:

More knives I've been carrying this week:
a Vic Tinker in my LFP

a Boker USA electrician's knife in my RFP

and these two in the kitchen this week

It's been a long road, but I think this was what was waiting for me at the end, Northwoods medium stockman in D2 steel and stag, sweet folder folks!

[Chris Montgomery]

Damn you, sir.
I actually had to suck up a string of slobber that was hanging off my lip after I saw this pic and read that you had squash too!.
That's some mighty fine eating, right there.

Sorry for the slobber the only way the meal could have been better is fresh picked homegrown tomatoes chilled with salt and pepper also. But, my tomatoes aren't doing so good.

I've really been digging these 38s posted lately. I've been real tempted to pick up one of those hawkbills lately.

Nice knife, Jack. :thumbup:


After four months daily carry of a Presidential, I realized that I need to prepare for warm weather. That means a smaller and lighter main daily carry. My scratted Ancient is probably going to win the contest.

Beautiful ancient you've got there! I agree about the presidential not being warm weather friendly.

Good to see you back Mr. Jack - hoping the back pain keeps easing. I am liking that Genuine Lambsfoot. :thumbup:

Totin' a 1955 era Genuine Ivory John Primble Belknap Germany Jack or Sleeveboard or reverse Sleeveboard, or whatever one might like to call it. 3.25 inches closed, stamped main blade, pinned oval shield - glad to have it for my Primble collection. :

Good god Primble, that might be one of the most beautiful knives I've seen on here in a looooooong while!

That Norfolk is quite the looker.

I love seeing that oeser! I just love the blade selection.

It's been a long road, but I think this was what was waiting for me at the end, Northwoods medium stockman in D2 steel and stag, sweet folder folks!

G2

That is one great looking stockman! Lowering the blades really did a lot for the aesthetics, and I can only imagine how nice it carries now.

 

[SadSappySucker]

I've had the bull nose on me all day.
Here it is on another unsuccessful fishing trip.

But the day was not a total loss. I made some of the best chicken tacos that I've ever had.

 

[Wolfsschanze]

So...the Big Brother arrived last week...

and the fraternal twin arrived today...

gonna take the boys out tomorrow for a stroll. They ain't Charlie's pretty SFO Cranberry...but they shure are pretty. I'm good!

The J is such a cool knife and your dog reminds me of my best friend many years ago

He's doing well for being 12. Must be the fresh country air and all the adventures we take him on.

Beauty knives, beauty eyes and finally them beauty rhymes.

Same here Erik. Caught nothing but a twig and some sludge tonight. Wish I cheered myself up with a bullnose and some chicken tacos. Both look excellent!

Lovely stuff Gevster, a classy pair :thumbup:

Very nice Paul :thumbup:

Thank you Mr. Jack - two beauties in yer pockets today. :thumbup::thumbup:

Many thanks Mr P, that's a wonderful combination :thumbup:

Well, between forum downtime and gigantic flatbed trucks running into my daily driver, it's been a decidedly non-BF-ey week so far.

Ouch! Hope you have a better weekend. Great range of knives :thumbup:

I'm staying with all-ebony, and pocketing these two today. Have a great Friday everyone :thumbup:

Suit-and-tie day for me, so just a small folder. Can't remember when I last toted my IRJ.
