What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Primble]

Ten dollar hard snapping No. 11057:

Hard to find one without a lanyard hole - my three catalogs never showed one with the hole. Patience prevailed.

Looks like the original etch got lost on someone's side walk.

Erik - thank you for the Primble comment. You made me hungry with that Taco - bass are on the nest here this week - I switched to Stripers till they come off. Got to adapt to them Bullnose fishies.

GT - thank you and I will pick your Boker from this weeks litter. :thumbup:

Mr. Jack - thank you and if you don't stop showing that lambsfoot around - I am going to be forced into entering your contest GAW. Sorry to hear your back has flared up - have you tried any horse leg linament on it ? - worked for me twenty years back. There were some side effects though. I kept craving oats and apples and snorted a lot.

Takeda friction folder with ironwood scales. Cant say the fit and finish is exceptional and neither is the walk and talk. I have a few knives from him including kitchen cutlery. I love the aogami super steel - its hard and easy to sharpen and the way he leaves the blacksmith finish.

 

[Carboniferous]

This is in my pocket today. I left a fingerprint on the main blade after pinching it open and a few lil pepper spots have developed, but that just gives me an excuse to carry this thing for a while and darken the rest of the patina to match :thumbup:

 

[Itsasportsbar]

Wonderful pictures everyone!

Thanks for the comments Primble, Gev and Gary. Gary, the other knife was a Norfolk Whittler in mammoth.

Very, very nice knife G2!

Today it's a Camillus Barlow and a Vic Spartan.

Have a good one!

As much as I loved being exclusive to the Boker 494, I found the knife being a bit too big. So over the past few days, I have switched over to this little Schrade Mighty Mite.

Old Ulster lock back.

Old Ulster lock back.

Wow, how old is that? Looks ancient, but it's a really great design

 

[W.M.B.]

I really don't know. I picked it up at an antique store this afternoon when my wife talked me into going with her. I should listen more often
The tag they put on at the store said western, but the tang stamp is Ulster.

Loving this Case Carhartt Series. Carried this trapper today. As ground blades give these a good look. Also have a couple of the stockmans with the punch. What's next on the Case Carhartt binge? Single blade Sowbelly maybe?

Well, between forum downtime and gigantic flatbed trucks running into my daily driver, it's been a decidedly non-BF-ey week so far. I'm still tagging posts that deserve or demand reply every now and again, catching up on over a month now of responses alone. I will get that finished once I accumulate enough pockets of downtime to get through the 70 or so pages left.

A recent one I noticed while it was still fresh (couple days old, but fresh to me -- my last post in the forum!):



Yup, the Imperial is of the days before they became famous for the clamshells, and has a couple nice pocket-worn slabs of bone for pants. Nice, solid construction, substantial sheepsfoot, and a nice broad spear with a good strong swedge plus a long pull made by human hands. Without having gone too deep in reading/researching the knife, and judging from the spun pivot pin, I've gotta imagine it's a pre-war or wartime issue. Just snowballing I'm thinking 30s-ish. The Queen's probably 20-30 years newer but I think they made a nice pair for the day.

Since then I've been snapping my carries and checking the forum only to be confronted with what seemed like days of database errors and Cloudflare pages. Seems to be working for the moment, so here's the (not entirely my fault this time ) backlog.

Starting with Stag Saturday, a Bull and a Queen:



Synthetic Sunday's woodsy trio included the Remington moose-krat which had arrived just the day before:



Monday and Tuesday saw these three -- I enjoy how the Rough Rider doesn't make any bones (SWIDT ) about sharing the spotlight with a Case and a GEC:



Wooden Wednesday saw the Osage pup's new wood with my oldest Case in old wood and the Anza with a custom petrified wood handle representing "older wood". :



And today's carry, a couple smooth operators:



I have another #18 coming, one of the natural stag issues (#5, I believe?) and my first Northfield. I may be addicted to this pattern. The Coyote is IMO a resounding success and I imagine the Beagle will make some serious waves among the Cult of the Peanut.

I concur on all things coyote, love the pattern. You have a mighty fine pair as well :thumbup:

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.

Erik, the blade selection is second to none for me, it's a tank of a knife and can handle anything I can throw at it on a daily basis.

Sorry for your luck on the fishing but those tacos still look amazing, guess the bull nose ain't bad either

[/URL]

Very nice! How do you like that little creek?



For me, the 38 was in my right front and the little 'yote was in my watch pocket. The whittler covers all my needs but I can't put the coyote down

 

[Jack Black]

In view of the "upcoming maintenance" to the site, and the time difference, I think I'm going to post the knives I'll be carrying tomorrow before I go to bed! Have a great weekend everyone :thumbup:

Just a .380 but it fits in a suit pocket, I feel very James Bond-ish today
