What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack, had you sharpened the blade on the pipe tool? It came razor sharp!

No I hadn't Paul, it looked pretty new that one. The blades used to come fairly blunt for the most part, but the old Joseph Rodgers cutlers ended up working at the Richards factory, so maybe it was just force of habit! :thumbup:

Cool pics guys :thumbup:

Looking good Phil :thumbup:

Great history there Jeff :thumbup:

I'm carrying my first WLST, gifted to me last year by Paul PMEW. Thinking of you mate :thumbup:

[5K Qs]

Thanks for the kind comments GT !!!!!!
I also spent many hours in the seats of Farmall H's and M's as well as Case , Massey Harris , Minneapolis Molines , Cockshutt , and John Deere . The cream of the crop was a Farmall Super MD . That was even before John Deere came out with their 4 cylinder engines.
That is some pretty good Stag on your Canoe too GT !!!!

Harry

Thanks, Harry, for the Colt compliment and the tractor memories.

Did you guys know that some species of bamboo can grow up to three feet per day? After all the rain we've had here, I believe it.

… The Brazos was busting at the seams and the winds had torn many many trees. I keep the pictures up lifting

Rachel and Gev, I enjoyed your photos; Rachel that equal-ender you re-covered is awesome! Hope you’re all keeping your powder dry there near the Austin City Limits!

…
Glad to see you carrying it, Gary.

Another day with the White Owl. This may be my summer replacement for the Presidential. Test in progress...

I can sure see why you were such a fan of the 897UH, Dean! Pretty picture of your White Owl! :thumbup: Have you been using the bail? I’ve discovered I like knives with a bail.

I'll have to find a dedicated Canoe thread for sure.

Nice Colt!

Thanks, PinB.

Thanks for the comments on the Menefee Bob, Tonysal and GT. GT, I guess I am a little crazy but the knife had scratches all over it. It was well loved. Much more than the description explained. I liked the knife right away so I wasn't going to send it back and I didn't feel the need to ask Ricky to give it a once over for me.

Looks like new now!

It sure does look like new, Jake; spectacular! :thumbup:

…
Thanks GT. The pocket watch is my grandad's, the chain is broken, but I think may have belonged to his father (who was a coal-miner). My grandfather was a wire-weaver, being the sixth employee of Tinsley Wire Industries, which went on to be a huge firm here. He used a hammer like that one, marked with a number '6', and at one time, when he was still alive, I had it. Unfortunately someone borrowed it without my permission, and never returned it That's my grandad's wire-weavers union badge, which he always wore on his jacket. I don't have his knife, but it was a Joseph Rodgers 'Bunny Knife' similar to this one (a bit nicer I think). That's a great bunch of knives you're carrying this week my friend, not least this Uncle Henry :thumbup:
…
Carrying my Arthur Wright Lambsfoot in ebony again today, and my Anniversary TC Barlow

Thanks, Jack. I like your bold black and crimson combo! Wonderful that you have those family-related heirlooms (or reasonable facsimiles)! :thumbup:

Those peppers didn't stand a change against the mighty whittler [emoji6] [emoji16]

The texture of the wood is quite course / grippy which I like a lot.

Thanks for the helpful handle feedback, zolthar.

This one is headed with me to coal country for a few days.

Whoa! That’s a strikingly handsome knife, Rockon75! :thumbup: What model is that?

…Farmer for a hiking day...

I have a Farmer just like that, Dan, that I really enjoy, but my Farmer and I have never experienced such an awe-inspiring view!! :thumbup:

Not sure if I have seen a stockman with a bottle opener before, very cool GT
…Some buffalo horn for me today.

Thanks, Tom; I think RR calls it a camper stockman or just a 4-blade stockman, but maybe around here I should call it my Beer Stock. Love the buffalo Queen! :thumbup:

…
Just carried one today. Buck 301.

Have a great evening all.

Ken K.

Just one knife today; special occasion? At any rate, it’s a special knife , even if they’re very common, if that makes any sense.

…The 38 frame is simply excellent, if GEC were to make a single spring Clip/Pen or small Wharncliffe in carbon with all steel liners and stainless with NS liners, I don't think another knife would really move me again.:thumbup: Knirvarna you see

I enjoy your enthusiasm for that 38, Will! :thumbup:

Sure is a grand knife, Bob; that shield seems perfect to me for those 85s! :thumbup:

…
The knife has been great, but after using it for a while, I'm still not a fan of the sheepsfoot blade as the main/primary blade on the knife. I'll always be a clip/spear blade fan I guess
…
Ryan

I know what you mean, Ryan. I think a sheepsfoot or a wharncliffe often looks amazing, but I can’t use them as effectively as I can use a spear (or drop point or clip or spey) in many situations.

Playing with the DSLR last night:

And playing very well, Dan; great photo of a splendid knife!

Decided that this week I will be carrying my few "real" traditionals that belonged to either my grandfather or my wife's grandfather.

Today, Kabar dog leg Jack, single spring, presumably started out as a clip and pen. Jigged bone is worn smooth, but the carbon blades, back spring, and brass liners show their age wonderfully.

...

Marvelous family heirloom, Jeff! :thumbup:


This week my assigned rotation includes these knives, among others I'll display later this week.

Supporting the St Louis Blues with some blue ALOX, pen, and shirt (it worked last round ). Feel a little silly with a SAK in both front pockets in an office setting, but no one will know but me .

Thanks, Jack. I like your bold black and crimson combo! Wonderful that you have those family-related heirlooms (or reasonable facsimiles)! :thumbup:

Thanks GT I have one or two things from that grandfather, but nothing from my other, apart from a few photographs. Strangely, they never really had anything in their house, not even ornaments, just a few photos of their grandkids.

[Snodgrass]

Sorry for the picture-less post but I figured this might be a good spot to ask.

Is the stock KSF leather pouch a good size for a beer scout?

 

[picturerock]

Ok, Johnny Five, what is that story behind that cool two tone knife?

[ConBon]

Thanks ConBon! The Cafe Cigars are pretty good for a somewhat quick smoke, also cool Camillus!

I'll be on the lookout for them! Today, like yesterday, the Camillus andnOpinel have found their way into my pocket again.

Seeing a Pipe Knife like that again makes me think again that I maybe had one 30-40 years ago. But if I do, I sure don't know where it's at. Looked upstairs once after seeing one on here and where my pipe rack and two pipes I still have along with a couple other pipe tools there isn't a pipe knife with them. ??????

2-pin Primble 5922 with a Belknap Hdw & Mfg Co. stamp and a star stamped on the the reverse side of the tang. Anyone know the significance of the star?

Seems like the winter chill that went to the bone has finally passed so I'll be carryin' my Case Sowbelly in Winterbottom Bone to commemorate that time of year finally passin'.

The star means it was manufactured by Boker:thumbup: Great piece:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[sshakari]

Perceval with 19C27 Sandvik steel with ironwood scales. The fit and finish on this knife is second to none.

 

[Atiger]

Thanks - I'd heard previously that it denoted manufacture by Camillus but it resembles my Boker 493 too much for that to be the case.

They were made 40-50 years ago (doesn't seem that long ) If you can't find it, send me a PM and I'll try and find one for you :thumbup: My dad worked at the Richards factory when I was small, and I remember cleaning his pipes out for him with a pipe tool just like these

 

[BigBiscuit]

Thanks GT. I agree on the corset shield on the 85's. Very nice.
