What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[A.L.]

I have carried this small Old Timer USA Stockman lately, and this weekend too. I just love the pattern. Does everything well!
And on top of that, got the good rustic looks and people friendly look.

 

[kenspen]

Lick Creek for today.

 

[MrBitters]

Breaking in a new 47 Viper.

 

[Gevonovich]

Classic pieces

Today, Marbles Handy Hunter in 52100and stag with a Claude Scott sheath, Hartkopf lockback in Thuya burl and Marcus Balbach damascus

The sheath really caught my eye and is just beautiful!

A new arrival with me today, a Bradford Guardian 3. Full flat ground M390, contoured carbon fiber handles, and a great horizontal belt sheath. Very sharp right out of the box too.

Great looking fixed blade knife, Tom!

[Macchina]

That is so nice! What a classy knife.

 

[Whetstone39]

Thanks Tom, taken at 12th Century Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds

Your new Bradford Guardian is a very handy-looking knife, great lines :thumbup:

Thanks Tom. re covered #15 by Markesharp. :thumbup:
I like the looks of that Bradford. :thumbup:

Great looking fixed blade knife, Tom!

Thank you kindly Jack, Bob, and Gev! It is very nimble in hand, but I haven't needed to cut anything all day . Maybe I'll order a pizza and ask them not to slice it for me .

this little guy made himself known by jumping off our screen door onto the top of my head

 

[Alchemy1]

That is so nice! What a classy knife.

Thanks!

 

[Travman]

Carrying the ebony 14 again today. I didn't get a good picture of the knife, but I did capture two happy dogs.

 

[r8shell]

I couldn't resist, and the #14 in ebony is here:



August is beans&toast for me, but it's worth it!

 

[Elgin]

Carrying a couple "yellers" today.

 

[5K Qs]

Awesome assortment of amazing ebony spearpoints showed up in this thread since the last time I had a chance to check in here. I’ll start by giving them their due! :thumbup::thumbup:

…
Sticking with the Ebony theme of this thread lately, I've got this one in my pocket again today (older photo of it):

Supreme WLST, Barrett!

This ebony arrived today...

Congrats, Vaporstang; what a classic configuration! :thumbup:

Even on a weird moose (?) head, that is so dignified, Ken! (Like your new signature; even better than that Red Green thing. )

Very distinguished, Travman! :thumbup:

More Ebony for me today.

More encomiums for ebony from me! Barrett, that ebony spearpoint ignites the briquettes of my heart!

...
This little 14 has been in my pocket non-stop since it came in. I even woke up with it still in my pocket this morning! In my opinion, this is the perfect size for a pocket knife.

Have a wonderful Friday, Porch!

Black Beauty, Shawn!

I couldn't resist, and the #14 in ebony is here:



August is beans&toast for me, but it's worth it!

Dark, dazzling, and delightful, Rachel; Shawn's is awesome, but IMHO, you trump his with the added pen blade! :thumbup: (And many of us consider beans & toast a delicacy! )

I'll take a deep breath, and move on to some other Knotable Knives!

I FINALLY got lucky and carried a "wooden" knife on Wooden Wednesday!

Oldie but a goodie pic.

I like my Opinels, but MAMs are serious slicers, too. Very fine, FBC!

Yesterday's carry, and usually in my pocket even if not the days "primary" knife. I just can't leave it at home.

Who can blame you, Drew? That knife is out of this world, literally! :thumbup:

Haven't been posting much lately as I have a roof issue to contend with, but I have been trying to keep current. Beautiful knives and photos from everyone as always :thumbup:

For me today, at least until I get home where a new addition should be waiting .

Roof issues are way less than ideal, Tom; hope you get it resolved soon, without too much financial strain! Maybe that fine Camillus can help fix the problem! :thumbup:

My dad just gave me his dad's last knife he carried. Case 6318HE from about the late 50's or early 60's. Basically about as old as me. Cleaned up real nice.

Having your grandfather's knife, even if it's just a sharp rock, is awesome, pmek! Having it be a classic Case stockman like that is stupendous! :thumbup: (If somebody says "jack knife" to me, I probably first think of something like yours!)

...
Today is cloudy, rainy, and gloomy so I'm brightening it up by carrying this "A New Day" Barlow. {which for some reason makes me think of James Bond }

That New Day Barlow should definitely chase away the gloom, Dean; I really like the spey blade! :thumbup: But James Bond??? That fills me with True Consternation!

It is certainly WITH an old user GT! :thumbup:
...
Just this one for me today

Just one knife today, Jack? Are you feeling OK? If you're only carrying one, that's an exemplary one to carry! :thumbup:

...
Have a good Friday everyone, and a great weekend :thumbup:

Ah, back to two knives again, and a dandy duo it is, Jack! :thumbup: When I saw the first pic, I said OH OH!! (Shorthand for Ox Horn On Horizon, of course. )

Serpentine trapper from Tom Overeynder, gold pins and shield, presentation grade black lip pearl

In the Bible, there's a parable about a man who sells everything he has so he can buy an exquisite pearl; I wonder if it could have been a knife like yours, Kris! :thumbup: So breathtaking! :thumbup:

...
Ah, but that's just it-- this knife's arrival has obliterated my Decision Tree, quietly yet pervasively imposing its rightness day after day, which became Every Day. It quickly became default, and remains so. I pocket this one, and then wonder, "What else," if any. It's whatever the opposite of commitment and choice imply!
...
The Greek Euro, featuring the original Strix, came to me through friendship. A best coin, on every level.

Thanks for some further ruminations on that blue beauty, ~P. I see what you mean: when you're under a spell and have no choice regarding that knife, "compulsion", rather than "commitment", is an appropriate term! :thumbup:

These for now, but it's early.

Captivating crimson trio, Alan!

...
A new arrival with me today, a Bradford Guardian 3. Full flat ground M390, contoured carbon fiber handles, and a great horizontal belt sheath. Very sharp right out of the box too.

Congrats on the new fixed blade, Tom! :thumbup: After reading about some of your early experiences with knives, I better understand your fixation on fixed blades!


This week, I'm carrying a Case chestnut jigged bone CV Sodbuster Jr (actually, I carry it every day); it's shown here with a matching, and kind of symmetric, SwayBack Jack that I've been carrying this week. Love my SBJs!

I've also carried this Taylor Schrade Walden whittler all week (thanks, Tsar Bomba),

,
and this Rough Rider stockman (thanks, r8shell) (another that I carry every day)

Leaving tomorrow for a couple of weeks of vacation, so I'll have to decide what knives to bring with me!

[joeradza]

GT, I have trouble deciding day to day, I can't contemplate weeks at a time. Enjoy your vacation.

Thanks, GT! But don't be consternated! Here's the deal. When I see the "A New Day" logo, I start humming "it's a new day" to the tune of one of the Bond movie's theme songs. I think it is one of those brain cell overflows that is unexplainable.

Of all your knives, I like seeing the perfect equation (I believe that's what you said) knife the most. It also looks like it has the same setup as my favorite stockman frame (the Uncle Henry 897UH) - except for the sheepfoot nail nick being on the opposite side.

Have a great vacation. We'll keep a light on for you!

 

[Falling_rain]

Great picture of a handle material I have not seen?

Thanks Gevonovich! Nothing special but some stags.

Thanks Gevonovich! Nothing special but some stags.

Thanks for the additional picture, Falling Rain! It is special indeed:thumbup:

 

[flatblackcapo]

I had too rough of a day to try to deal with multi-quoting so I will just say thanks to you all for giving me a place to unwind and look at beautiful knives. I had the 2014 forum knife with me today.

 

[Half/Stop]

Well I am late as usual. There has been a lot of beauties posted up today. :thumbup: Today, I have been totin' the 3rd new to me knife this week. This 48 Improved Trapper came to me from the exchange.
