What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r8shell]

Brilliant pair, Rachel! That Jack Black IS quite inspirational, isn't he? (But someday, you'll be quite influential too, when the punchnut rules the knife world!)

It's what all the cool kids will be carrying!

Thank you for your kind words,Sir! The artistic metal work is a gargoyle on a giant steel fence at the back entrance to Zilker Park. An old picture.

Just a great looking knife!

this is my first of many 47s. but also was my first GEC. My first self-reprofiled edge. it's a laser beam and I make sure I keep it that way. I typically carry it on weekends but don't normally post about it. so some love for the one that got me hooked on traditionals.

A Buck "301" with BG-42 blade steel. Ivory Micarta covers. The workmanship is of custom quality as these were made by the Buck Custom shop.

Before the advent of PM steels, BG-42 was the creme de la creme of blade steels. Stainless and has superior edge retention compared to 154CM or its cousins. The alloy was always hard to obtain. If memory serves, Buck said that they would not make any more knives with BG-42 blades.

This was a special run made for the Buck Collectors Club. I'm not a member, but they came up with a couple of extras and I was able to snag one.

I had a good visit to Arthur Wright & Son yesterday. John Maleham, the gaffer there, very kindly showed me around, and I came back with a number of nice knives, including this Lambsfoot in a special grade of buffalo. Fit and finish are superb :thumbup:

I'm a little late to the comment party, but what an absolutely stunning knife you have there, Jack!

I've been appreciating the sheepsfoot as a blade shape more and find myself increasingly admiring the lambsfeet (is that the proper plural?) that you share here. I can see where this heading: someday I'm going to have to track down a proper lambsfoot for myself.

Congrats on that Calf Roper Slim, Dean; very posh! I wonder if jone is still making leather goods from recycled ball gloves; what an inspiration that was to me!

Thanks, GT! Posh, imagine that.

I'm sure some of you hunter fellas would love to take a stroll around my suburb lol.

Boker+ Peanut today, giving my RAT MRX a break.

What a knife, Frank! I had no idea Buck made knives along these lines. That ivory micarta looks mighty spiffy on a 301. :thumbup:

It's the Case 63090 SS Medium Stockman again for me today. I just can't get enough of this knife, both as a worry stone and as a capable cutting companion.

 

[Half/Stop]

That's quite a teaser, Ron; now I can hardly wait to see what you're getting! The osage 73 looks awesome, as always! When do you think your buffalo nickel will make an appearance again??

Thanks Gary. You know what, that Buffalo nickel is past due. Soon my friend, soon!

Rain, snow, sleet or hail............. Today at my house was rain, but these 2 were right there in the mail box when I got home! And they are right there in my pockets now! Hope everyone is having a great weekend. :thumbup:

HOLY SMOKES! That is a dream knife of mine. Everytime I carry a 301 I realize i don't need a single other knife in my collection. This scales are just perfect.

Beautiful knife, I hope it's not too rare for you to not carry or use it. 301's just beg to whittle a marshmallow stick...

Jack Black has inspired me to carry my lambfoot today.
And because for some reason I feel unprepared and underknifed without an awl, my Case stockman

Funny. That's the knife that inspired me to get mine.

The lambs foot looks great, but you keep tempting me with that punch stockman. I love a clip/ sheepsfoot combo, and that awl would make a really nice edition.

See? Rachel is a bad influence (on the wallet)! :grumpy:

I understand the temptation. I haven't carried my Small Texas Jack since getting this punch stockman. It's a perfect blade combo.

Well, I wouldn't go THAT far. My small Texas jack is silky smooth, one of my favorite worry stones.

Brilliant pair, Rachel! That Jack Black IS quite inspirational, isn't he? (But someday, you'll be quite influential too, when the punchnut rules the knife world!)

Hey, don't forget the cool old folks...

I carried my Bull Nose to the range this morning. (I went at like 6:30am because it's supposed to be 118° today! )

Risky move with the synthetic handles. Wait too long and the knife might start melting!

Who can follow that Guest^^^^^^^Wow!!!

That green bone is outstanding. Hen & Rooster really does produce some lookers.

Böker stockman the last few days.

The import knives have really upped their game with the handles and styles.

Convict lake, and my little GEC #25

Great knife! :thumbup: There's gotta be a good story behind the name "Convict Lake".

This does not make me look upon my black sawcut Delrin 301s with as much fondness as I used to...

It's the Case 63090 SS Medium Stockman again for me today. I just can't get enough of this knife, both as a worry stone and as a capable cutting companion.

Every time you post this it reminds me that this is one of the Case stockman patterns I don't have... :grumpy:

Me this morning, out and about with Stag Saturday's selections:



Found a Beagle pup in the mail when I returned home so I switched out those folders for these:

 

[Topcatpt]

These two I picked up yesterday

 

[SadSappySucker]

GT, thanks!(on both accounts)
I think I own one knife that gets babied, and that's the 92 eureka Jack. That knife is so pretty that I haven't had the guts to put it up to anything more strenuous than cutting an apple. One day though, one day...

Tsar, don't think I haven't noticed your punch stockman. You haven't made putting off the purchase any easier.

 

[zolthar]

The import knives have really upped their game with the handles and styles.

It's the first and only import Böker I own and I like it a lot. It has the thinnest and most flexible blades I ever encountered on a pocket knife.

I'm honoured r8shell An awl? I thought that was a heavily sharpened Lambsfoot blade! :thumbup:

"So explain to me one more time why you're not throwing my ball?"

Great pic Paul :thumbup:

Impressive :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack; about time for your similar Joker to make an appearance, isn't it??
Congrats on your buffalo Wright!! My experience of knives is admittedly quite limited, but I think you now have the most notable ox horn AND buffalo horn knives I've ever seen! (Cory Hess as a Ruple knife with pretty noteworthy buffalo horn, too, I think; I may need to see them together to make my final subjective decision on my favorite.)

...

Ravishing, remarkable, ritzy, rockin' trio for your peregrinations, Jack (and I know absolutely nothing about fixed blades - I'm mostly reacting to Abbeydale & Buffalo, Ltd.)!

Yes, my Joker is certainly due some pocket time GT I have also been carrying a wee MAM knife since March, but have neglected to get pics Many thanks for the comments on my new Lambsfoot (and Abbeydale), I will have to check out Cory's Ruple :thumbup:

It's what all the cool kids will be carrying!

Thanks a lot Greg, if you like a straight edge, I definitely recommend giving one a try :thumbup: As far as I know the plural of Lambsfoot is Lambsfoot, kind of like sheep and sheep I know it doesn't really sound right, so I usually fudge it by saying Lambsfoot knives :thumbup:

Nice Stag Saturday selection TB :thumbup:

I've had a lot of work on recently, and it looks like I'm going to have to work today. Going to have these two with my though Have a pleasant Sunday everyone :thumbup:

 

[Rockon75]

Yesterday was a long working day around here. The Hayin Helper accompanied me most of the day. Here in the mid-Atlantic, I'm starting to can veggies from the garden, seems early this year......

The #42 was great in the kitchen while the #47 was my outside work knife.

[deskil]

Zounds! That's a zesty canoe, deskil! I don't think I've ever seen one of those before; are you willing to provide some details??

Thanks for your interest. It's a Model 3046 and unlike most canoes, has half stops on both blades. It's also the only Ka-Bar canoe I've ever seen with mother of pearl covers. Sorry I couldn't offer more information, but that's all I know about it.

 

[pmew]

Thanks Jack! That's some gorgeous buffalo there mate!

Frank, stunning buck.
