What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Vaporstang]

I had never seen a red 303 until you posted these and in another thread. It's a very pleasant shade of red - how did you come by it?


- Paul

It just arrived yesterday. I got it from the Buck site on the Exchange.

 

[Cannonball970]

22 magnum for me today. It's somehow acquired a freakle on the main blade, going to have to polish that out I guess.

 

[Atiger]

Carrying this today - it was a $10 reclamation project that turned out pretty nice. Typical rusty, crusty old knife brought back to life with a little penetrating oil, some 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper dipped in Hoppe's No. 9 and a little polish to restore the shine on the blades and handle scales. Nice old Barlow.

Haha yes he does indeed, I'm liking the folder quite a bit actually, once it was sharpened up and modified, it fits in my watch pocket perfect and the shape is very comfortable to hold in use too.

Grilling today for my family and friends. Have 4 racks of ribs marinating in Sailor Jerry rum for 4 hours, then dry rubbed with my own jerk seasoning, wrapped for an hour then grill with lots of hickory smoke, plus two 3 lb flank steak in two different marinades. These two will be helping out today,

Have a great Sunday!

Beautiful as always, Kris! But what I really want to see are those ribs later

I've had a few RR Sowbellies, and they've all been nice knives Great customization :thumbup:

Chestnut Beer Scout today.

Thanks, GT! You are really knocking it out of the park with your photos of that Sodbuster, Jr. ...

Thanks, Dean; it's a photogenic knife, and I think I got lucky with the sunlight and the backgrounds.

Barlow

Fantastic heirloom, Keith!

...
Nice picture of your marinera, GT. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing it.
...
Today I've got a Stawberry Sundae out for its maiden pocket voyage.

Thanks, Greg. That Conductor whittler is something else!! Have you reworked the blades a bit?

Thanks GT! It's the OD linen micarta from GEC. I love the way it's aged so far. ...

I admire your frequent carry of that auspicious Magnum! Funky yo-yo, too!

My Case Peanut and a old flip-it knife from West Germany

Pete

Always rewarding to see your Peanut, Pete, and that flip-it knife is WAY cooler than one I got from a friend about 40 years ago that he was handing out to advertise his grain elevator!

...
Thank you for your comment GT - your chestnut Sodbuster is my pick of that liter. ...

Thanks, Primble; I'll bet for a fisherman like you, your preference is influenced by that old wooden boat in the background!

...
New addition for me....

Congrats, Jake; that's pretty much a perfect pocket knife! :thumbup:

Flood waters were 1/2" below the threshold of my brother's house after the first day of a 3 day rain event. I'll trade, for sure! Leading into this rain event, our heat index was 110*F, so choosing between that and sand bagging a house... Lets just say that it's miserable all around. I do not recommend for people to come to south Louisiana in the summer time. Haha.

Sounds less than ideal, Shawn! Hope you get a break soon!

...
Just got the larger one, so I'm carrying both the Moki's today!

Multiple Moki magic!! Awesome, Elgin! :thumbup:

I grew up as a Farmboy, but I NEVER looked THAT good!!

It has been one of these 3 for the last few months. This weekend it will be the stag. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. ...

Welcome back, Brett; that's a tremendous trio you have there!

Can't beat breakfast for supper!

I'm with you, Shane! For our last supper of vacation Friday, we had bacon, eggs, and hash browns!

...
Switched up to my new Mini Trapper. Trying to see if my dye job is going to stay the same or get some more work done to it.

Looking good, Shawn; is that the amber bone Case you showed off recently?

...
Carrying this wonderful Pony Jack I purchased from Bob, clad in gorgeous ebony covers by Glenn, two great forum members have input with this knife, making it very special

Scintillating knife, Paul, with a history of splendid people involved! :thumbup:

That white Buck is very fashionable, Pokerface! :thumbup: Here's a link to the footwear version from my youth

My trusty sheepfoot 77 Barlow in African Blackwood

Great to see that esteemed Northfield Barlow again, Jeff! :thumbup:

...
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend... Two Barlows today, my scratted bone Ancient and my new 14 ...

Boffo binary Barlows, Jack!

Keeping it simple today.

Nice Opinel mod, Greg! :thumbup: Thanks to your inspiration, encouragement, and instruction, I finally finished mine recently:

Switched up from Victorinox Solo Alox to Wenger Standard Issue for today.

Nice SI, bead, and lanyard!

1st day with the new 14 in the pocket. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Attractive 2-blade 14, Mike!

Jewelry today for me.



Alan

Alan, that DogPaw Conductor is very striking! :thumbup: Did it have a bail on it when you posted photos earlier?

Thanks Driften, but this cooler weather you speak of, what's that? Right now in NY 96 degrees with 70-80 percent humidity. Can't wait for snow so I can complain about that.

Alan

Oily Creek bone lick creek for me today. I love the almost purple-ish tones in the bone.

Thanks for the close-up of that knife! What's the coin?

I'm enjoying your pairs related by handle materials, GuestWho! :thumbup:

Postman just handed this one off to me, just in time for Stag Saturday!
A well loved piece, never sharpened, took it to the strop and it went straight into the pocket for Stag-Saturday. Knives like these deserve to carried

Stunning stag, Tim; you are definitely "barking with the big dogs" these days!!! :thumbup:

Ryuichi Kawamura coffin Jack

WW!!!

Congrats on your Rendezvous acquisitions, and thanks for posting the many pics in that Rendezvous thread!! :thumbup:

...
I carried these two yesterday.

And these two today.

Have a good one!

Ken K.

Quality quartet, Ken! :thumbup: That black Wenger looks interesting.

Nice ones guys ! Carrying a new one, a Rough Rider Sowbelly jack in smooth bone with the Diamond Jim emblem inlaid into the smooth bone

G2

SMOOTH, G2 ; how big is that stockman?

Case Humpback Stockman in ebony. One of my favorite knives. It's offset blades and lovely cut swedge make it especially enjoyable to me.
...

Handsome Humpback, Frank!

I thought it was time to bring this Queen out again today.

Enchanting! :thumbup:

These 2 today...
Harry

Sweet stag, Harry! :thumbup:

...
Carrying these two today Have a great Sunday everyone :thumbup:

Couple of real showpieces, Jack!! :thumbup:

First-class version of that 2014 Forum knife, P&G!

Carrying this today - it was a $10 reclamation project that turned out pretty nice. Typical rusty, crusty old knife brought back to life with a little penetrating oil, some 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper dipped in Hoppe's No. 9 and a little polish to restore the shine on the blades and handle scales. Nice old Barlow.

"Nice old Barlow" seems faint praise for that New Holland!! The curved sawcut marks are pretty special! :thumbup:

Here are some knives I had with me on vacation the past two weeks, even though I didn't exactly carry them. I intended to "work on them", one way or another, but never got around to it!
A Kutmaster stockman with both springs broken that I actually bought while on vacation a year ago. I figured I can at least use it to practice sharpening.

A Colonial electrician's knife that needs a little TLC.

A Colonial SAK that needs sharpening.

A Colonial "wireframe" jack with clip and bottle opener that needs more cleanup.

[KBA]

Thank you GT. Appreciate that buddy.

 

[Jack Black]

Boffo binary Barlows, Jack!

...

Couple of real showpieces, Jack!! :thumbup:

Thank you my friend, you are very generous I really enjoyed looking at the four knives you showed us today, each very interesting in its own way. I don't think I've ever seen one of those Colonial 'SAK's before :thumbup:

 

[Itsasportsbar]

Nice knives everyone!

Thanks for the comments Ryouchijtx and Gary.

Very nice Ware southpaw357.

I really, really like that Dog Paw Conductor joeradza!!! It's so cool! Want one! Need one!

Carried these two today. A Baxter Ltd. Sheffield and a Vic Electrician.

Have a good one!

Ken K.

 

[Jack Black]

Very nice Ken, that Baxter is a peach :thumbup:

 

[chrisN01]

My first GEC,

Had it out in the garden today, after sharpening it, it was really nice to work with. Christian
