What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Had my Madison Barlow with me today

A brand-new Boker Plus Brown Jigged Bone Barlow. After about 20 minutes on my Spyderco triangle Sharpmaker, it has a scary sharp edge on both blades.

This is going to be a good one!
 
Seeing Harry faithfully sticking with Stag inspired me to retrieve this old friend. With a fresh razor sharp edge she'll see pocket time for the foreseeable future;)

Beautiful Stag on that 73 Paul!

I had my Micarta 85 today:

Thank you, your #85 screams character. I might be in the minority here but I think Micarta ages nicely. I think it melllows as well as natural covers, yours certainly does:cool::thumbup:
 
been a while since I posted here - but that doesn't mean that I'm not carrying traditionals on a regular basis :cool:

Thanks, Greg; I wish most of my Old Timers weren't from China, but they're still pretty decent knives. :) Middleman sounds familiar, and I think I never remember it because Schrade also uses that term for a similarly-sized 2-blade jack, don't they?? Should have known that you'd know the name of the 34OT, since you modded that model into your preferred whittling knife! :thumbup:

Yes, you're correct. The 33OT also goes by the name of Middleman.

And, yeah, I'm quite fond of my whittling 34OT. I carried it today. :)
 
JSCHENK, tmd_87, paulhilborn, you are throwing down on that stag. You should save it up for Saturdays and post in the so-named thread. :rolleyes:

Brent Cramer's Backpocket today.

That is a man's knife, with a man's stag. Well, ok, it could be a woman's stag, too. But she probably wouldn't want to carry that beast. Men! :D :cool:

terrible lighting hope this looks semi decent.

You snagged a first run Winterbottom doc in pristine condition while I'm humping around trying to find a plain old one and you ask if it looks semi decent. :grumpy: ;) Gorgeous doc's knife, sir. :thumbup:

TB, I had the great good fortune of winning my 93OT in a GAW from Fausto; so, yes, my "American classic" came to me by way of Sardinia!

As hard as it is to find these patterns in "standard" pants, my hunt for bone-clad Schrades feels more futile than a tilt at a windmill. I did stumble across an 89OT today, however, speaking of Schrades. Delrin covers went a few rounds with some keys in a pocket at some point but the blades are in excellent condition, pretty much approaching "pristine". A good, sturdy large stockman with a toothy sheepsfoot can do some damage. :cool:

RR really needs to make that canittler in smooth tobacco bone. With an acorn shield, of course. :o

A made in the USA GREBER GATOR,a 1960's Callimus Stockman, and a officer SAK. It was day one at College.

Congratulations and best of luck! Show off that stockman when you can, need more college kids seeing some slipjoints and witnessing the magic firsthand. :thumbup:

That a stainless soddie jr.? I'm so used to everyone getting their yeller soddies in CV and showing off those patinas, it's refreshing to see a soddie shine for once. :D

That's a stylin' Northwoods. Why hasn't anyone taken a photo of one next to the denim Esky? That would make a notable pair in my book.

You sure did pick a good one. :) I keep forcing myself to have tunnel vision towards the beer scouts. It's maddeningly difficult. :eek:

Love those Schrade names. Found out my 89OT goes by "Blazer". Better than the stock 8OT's "Senior" (IIRC).

Got home tonight at half past 11pm to eat dinner. Tomorrow's looking just as busy so I probably won't put too much thought into a different carry. I can guarantee that at least one of these will be kicked out of my pocket for tomorrow by today's arrival. :cool:

 
I've been away for a couple of weeks moving, and it has taken me 2 days to catch up on this thread :). Wonderful reading and gorgeous knives, I have missed the Porch. I picked 2 Bark River city knives and a couple of SAK's and scout patterns for the move, and boxed up everything else. This TC was the first to be unboxed, so it seemed appropriate to carry it today.
