What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Dadpool]

I think it will be a very long time until we get tired of seeing that 63090, Dadpool. It's a beautiful knife and your photos are great.

Thank you!

Still totin' the Humpback Stockman.

You've very nearly gotten me convinced to give up my search for an ebony Humpack Stockman and buy a rough black one instead -- yours looks so much nicer than the "sales shots" I've seen of rough black handles! :thumbup:

I was a little embarrassed to post my Zorro Barlow, not sure of what sort of reception an admittedly cheesy knife might get here. Thanks to everyone for their support! Did you realize that there's "an imbedded old fashioned game of skill" right there on the mark side cover? You may be able to see the 3 tiny silver balls that are supposed to go into 3 little holes as a demonstration of hand-eye coordination, I suppose; the holes are so deep, though, that once a ball goes into a hole, the knife has to be turned upside down to get the ball out again, so not very much skill is actually needed!

I quite liked seeing your Zorro Barlow, and I had wondered what was going on with the mark side cover. I would never have guessed that it was a game, though! That seems entirely fitting. :thumbup:

If you're taking a poll, Dadpool, I am NOT tired of seeing that resplendent red stockman again! Nice change of pace to see a non-serpentine version of a stockman. :thumbup:

Thank you, that's kind of you to say! The equal-end version, alongside its other merits, also makes an excellent "spinny thing" (especially on the backsprings, but also on the pile side), and I spend an inordinate amount of time spinning it on my desk.

I look forward to your fixed blade/scout combos every single day. Well done!!!

Jack, thanks for the link to the Pictorials thread; I should certainly post Zorro there! Jef and Gev, for more nostalgia, here's a link to the theme song and opening credits of the Disney Zorro TV show, from the late 1950s I think, which was certainly my first exposure to the Zorro legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCqmtVddaq0 (Later in life, I enjoyed "The Mask of Zorro" as a feature film. The only way I can imagine my Zorro Barlow being improved would be to replace the pile side "Heroes of the Silver Screen" with a fetching image of Catherine Zeta-Jones from that movie!)

a linerless, plastic-handled Imperial Ireland stockman:

Thanks for the additional info on your Zorro Barlow GT, even better! :thumbup: And EVEN better! :thumbup:

That's an interesting Irish Imperial, I'm pretty sure I've never seen one before :thumbup:

Finally, a GEC I can carry on these humid, sweaty days:

 

[Whetstone39]

Thanks a lot Tom, great pair :thumbup:

Thanks Jack!

I look forward to your fixed blade/scout combos every single day. Well done!!!

Thanks Buzz! I look forward to your Scouts as well, I remember a Remington I especially liked.

 

[Comeuppance]

Also these, but I know the Boker doesn't quite qualify:

(Thank you to TDKFM for the excellent trade and my new favorite fixed blade)

Very nice knives everyone!

Thanks for the comment Gary.

Great pairing Phil.

Today it's a Case and a Northfield.

Have a good one!

Today it's a Case and a Northfield.

Nice carries, Ken! :thumbup: Is the Case real MOP or is it the synthetic that fools me every single time? Guessing it's genuine from the etched bolsters but you never can tell with those Case knives.

Incredible grain! Is that Snakewood?

Thanks, and yes it's snakewood. My first experience with it, and it's a pretty cool wood

Mike, your Queen canoe and your GEC White Owl are a couple of premier examples of the appeal of equal-end patterns! :thumbup:

Thank you, sir! I don't think I could handle having a game on my knife... I have a hard enough time not playing with the darned things constantly as a worry stone... With a game there - forget about it! hehe

I left home in a bit of a hurry this morning headed for Sheffield. Had this Crown Penknife by Harrison Fisher with me :thumbup:

That's a beauty! What would the closed length on that be? Love the worn bone!

Mike - great pic of the 68!

Thanks Tom! I very rarely pull this one out of the drawer. Not sure why, but it always gets bumped down the priority list. Wasn't the first choice for today either, but then it fell over in the drawer as I pulled out another, so I thought, "why not?"

Love that scout, and you just reminded me that I haven't had my City Knife out in quite a while... I may have to remedy that tomorrow.

Today it's a Case and a Northfield.

Ken K.

Very nice! Is that an Eisenhower? Love those!

 

[Itsasportsbar]

Tsar,

The Case is an Eisenhower with real MOP.

Thanks for the interest.

Another Tremendously Charming Barlow, Dean! :thumbup:

Thanks a lot guys It's 3 1/2" Mike :thumbup:

 

[redsparrow]

...redsparrow - great looking Harness Jack, do you find the awl useful?

For me today, 2 users I really like:

Thanks Tom. Yes, the punch cuts things I don't want/need to use the blade on, packaging, tie wraps, light pruning, string etc. Keeps the blade sharp and clean. Haven't had to poke any holes yet but I'm ready to, if it ever comes up.

Love the City knife/Scout combo. -James-

 

[Gevonovich]

That Harrison Fisher is soooooo lovely!

Lots and lots of great knives and photos everyone

Elegant simplicity for me today

 

[Buzzbait]

I'm ready for anything with the Texas Camp Knife today.

I have the same Imperial, it's one of my favorites and takes and holds a decent edge.

Cheers Ken. Still wish I'd snagged a forum knife when the chance was there!!

Sam

You mean like this?

Today I threw the old #23 in my pocket, I think I'll get a belt sheath for it as it's a big hunk of a knife.

Today is just a little Colt Peanut.
