What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

You gave me inspiration to hit the shop Jerry. Tapered the pin with a barrel disk on my dremel, re-inserted pin, nipped pin, peened, 400 Grit wrapped over the nose of a wooden clothes pin, progressed up to 2000 wet/dry grit with final wet sanding.

Almost dark here (sun set awhile back) so apologies for pictures. Will take some during daylight tomorrow. End result...I like it much better than the vacant hole:thumbup:

Nice job, Paul! Looks like it will be easier to carry and look great, too.:thumbup:

Slipped this one in my pocket this morning.

Great looking handles on that Barlow.

Came home from a trip away and the garden is a wilderness. I got torn into it today with a little help from my friends;


Doing the work it was meant for adds to the beauty of that Orchard Gem.


As usual, you've captured the beauty of that TC, GuestWho.

I'm carrying my potential summer carry again today. A GEC 66 Calf Roper Slim. Just right to toss in my shorts.

 
I'm going to recycle an old picture but I've got the little 22 with me again today. It's an awful lot of knife for such a small package.

Thanks Dean:thumbup: if memory serves you just took possession of a new stainless boys knife? A beauty as well as your Calf Roper.

Again for me today, rain since this morning so another indoor picture...

flatblackcapo I have to thank you for posting the Mam sheepsfoot a while back. I checked it out and bought the locking spear point. A very nice piece.

Thanks, Paul. Yeah, I got the Old Barn Chestnut 15. I'm a sucker for wood handles and the 15 frame. It is super light, must be the brass scales.

You've got a good knife for the rain. I guess we'll be getting that same rain here tomorrow as it heads east. Stay dry!
 
Amazing patina on that Soddie Jr, flatbackcapo. All natural? You will probably enjoy that picture later on as it darkens further, you captured this great rainbow effect that tons of vinegar and applesauce slatherers are chasing. :thumbup:

A Schrade Walden 340 and a Western Bone Scaled Stockman.

Been chasing one of those for a while. Nice find.

Today's totes, mostly just along for the ride -- things were so busy at the office I didn't even get a chance to grab a meal and use one. :grumpy:

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

Game, set, match!!! Jack, that is a champion! :thumbup:

...
Today, garden party with the colleagues....:rolleyes::eek:.needed some beauty to contemplate :D Stainless White Owl in Light Tan Bone, one of five I believe.

IMG_0774.jpg
That IS a beauty, Will! :cool:

Don't worry GT. Shore fishing only yesterday. I certainly wouldn't be dangling it over the edge of a boat!
Thanks for giving me one less thing to worry about, Jake! ;)

...
GT - love the Colonial scout :thumbup:
...
For me today, 2 users I really like:

Thanks, Tom. That's an awesome duo you chose! :thumbup:

...
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:
...
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. :D
Glad you like the game on the Zorro Barlow. :) I wish you hadn't reminded me of the joy/addiction of knife-spinning on your desk; that's a habit I'd broken, but now I fear I'm going to pick it up again! :eek:

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

That's an interesting Irish Imperial, I'm pretty sure I've never seen one before :thumbup:
Thanks, Jack. The Imperial Ireland stockman is a gift from davek14. :)

...
Today it's a Case and a Northfield.

Have a good one!

Ken K.
Wow, interesting pair, Ken; a real study in contrasts! :cool:

...
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 :p
...
I think of it as a way to build character. :p

...
You mean like this? ;)

I love seeing photos of your Forum knife family, Ted! :thumbup:

I haven't ventured into this thread as much as I did. Not sure why I haven't, the photography is fun. Catching up a little. Too many great knives to mention.
...


Carried this one quite a bit, and today. I love the 77. All steel and single bladed runs would be great.
A 2-bladed 77 is a classy, classic pattern; phenomenal knife, BearBug! :thumbup:

I envy (and enjoy) your skills, Paul; superb job on the Navy Knife! :cool:

Still carrying this one, day in and day out

IMG_9338%20900x536_zpsmtxw2mgt.jpg


it just fits...
Great to see that distinguished Powderhorn again! :thumbup:

Haven't carried a Peanut in a while :)



Carrying this Keen Kutter with my Buffalo Lambsfoot :thumbup:

Mesmerizing handles on BOTH of your knives, Jack! :thumbup:

Almost to pretty to carry....almost
It certainly is awfully pretty! :eek:

Or day by day. I've got an osage, and a camel bone, one of which is always with me. Today is t-Bone Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wooden Wednesday. The rest of the week, I've got a Daily Dilemma. :D
...
A dilemma a day keeps the doctor away! :rolleyes:

Slipped this one in my pocket this morning.
How do you keep from slipping that one in your pocket EVERY morning??? :eek:

Came home from a trip away and the garden is a wilderness. I got torn into it today with a little help from my friends;

That knife looks like a fabulous combination of style and substance, beauty and utility! :thumbup:

In addition to Case chestnut bone peanut and sodbuster, jr., this new RR half hawk that came in a generous giveaway:

Congrats, major_works; the Rough Rider half hawk is a whole lot of very satisfying knife! :cool:

Grandpa's old Case knife today. I cleaned it as best I could, it's been sitting in a box for at least 20 years as far as I know, and is in dire need of a sharpening and some real TLC.

You are a fortunate grandson, sir; what an outstanding family heirloom! :thumbup:

...
Inspired by Whetstone39
It's a movement, a fad; it's trending! :D:thumbup:

...
Plus, the CSC forum knife has been in my pocket a lot lately.
xT4FrqC.jpg

It makes the perfect whittler, and I e been thoroughly impressed with how the steel is holding up.
Great shot of the Forum knife in action, Erik! :cool:

...
I'm carrying my potential summer carry again today. A GEC 66 Calf Roper Slim. Just right to toss in my shorts.

I admire your dedication to the Calf Roper Slim, Dean! :cool:

Finally dedicating some pocket time to this fella...

Good idea, Mike; those EO 85s get me every time! :thumbup: (I have an old buffalo horn version on kitchen duty this week - thanks, Paul! :))

...
Today it's a Case 6208 and a 25 1/2.

Have a great day all!

Looks like a couple of aged, astonishing Case's aces, Ken! :thumbup:

Splendid SBJr, FBC! :cool:

More of this week's knives for me:
I didn't consult with flatblackcapo, but I'm totin' TWO sodbuster jrs this week, a chestnut jigged bone Case and a yellow synthetic Taylor Imperial.

I'm also carrying a Portuguese MAM this week that has a hint of sodbuster to it IMHO.

Thanks, Gary! Some knives just beg to be carried and used. The longer I carry some of them, the harder it is to let them stay home. I carried my first Sodbuster, Jr. for about a year - I was seventeen (several decades ago). I probably would never have switched knives if I'd had that Chestnut you're carrying.
 
Haven't carried a Peanut in a while :)



Carrying this Keen Kutter with my Buffalo Lambsfoot :thumbup:


Thanks JB
That bone in the Lambsfoot is absolutely mesmerizing! :eek:

Gorgeous photo Dan

This Winchester hasn't been out in quite a while.


Right back at you Tom
Gotta say. That zebra wood is something still gets me every time. :thumbup:

Still carrying the R Bose Cattleman's Knife....probably tomorrow as well!


Wow. She's a beauty Jake.

I'm also carrying a Portuguese MAM this week that has a hint of sodbuster to it IMHO.

This a new MAM to me GT and I like it !!! (Perhaps it's the hint o sodbuster to it )


Looks like it was a sodbuster day for many of us.

I found mine all rusted up for 10 bucks at a local flea market back in February this year. I Still getting rust out of it

Very, very, nice GT.

I always look forward to which of your knives earned their keep.

Each developing beautiful character through time. :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind words GT :) Dave is a very generous member with great taste :thumbup: You really captured that Sodbuster nicely my friend, great pic. I've had the same knife in black for a few years, and have found it an excellent user :thumbup:

Thanks JB
That bone in the Lambsfoot is absolutely mesmerizing! :eek:

...


Thanks Dan, another great-looking Sodbuster :) :thumbup:

I have so many knives I keep meaning to carry, but I am still under the spell of these two :o
