What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Still have the Robert Klaas in my pocket, decided to cary the Cover too, and the Winchester just arrived today.

 
Have some boxes to cut up later so I threw the 1912 Union Knifeworks Moose with the broken blade reworked into a box cutter blade. This was made back in the day when a good blade was an expensive commodity and you just didn't throw it away because it broke a blade, that's why you bought a knife with two blades ;) .

Iron bolster, robust construction, steel back springs, crisp grinds and gorgeous swedges/swages , they don't make 'em like this anymore. Even after over 100 years this knife walks and talks like a brand new Tony Bose folder, that says a lot for a knife this old. I get asked all the time why I would use a knife over a century old like I do for cutting up boxes? Well because that's what it was made for... cuttin' :) , so I cut with it. Here it is again for your enjoyment and certainly mine. :)

I'll carry and use this knife till I can't physically do it anymore. It would be a sin to let it sit on a shelf, especially when it cuts so well. :)

I agree it's pretty cool to use a hundred year old knife, and I always like seeing that old Moose of yours, Ted.

Today I carried two brand new ones that I can imagine still going strong in a hundred years. (as long as they avoid the dreaded grinder)

 
Thankful Tim let this one go. :thumbup: Just opened the box and the tube a few minutes ago. :D


Very nice looking 77 Brett
Those NF Balrows are just a great package all around

Thanks Gev!


Today in the heat with the 71 in pocket

 
Your 79 is a very attractive sleeveboard, Ron!

A little osage
lambertiana and Ron, those are bewitching osage orange 73s!

Thanks GT! It's a Robert Klaas KC38. I don't know much about it, and just got it yesterday, but I'm loving it.
Thanks for the maker info, Elgin; I appreciate it.

...
Thanks GT
Maximizing the hot summer here up North.
With those handy three in pocket I think you can accomplish almost any project that the day my bring. Very nice! :D:thumbup:
...
Talon in pocket today.

Thanks, Dan; I like to pretend that the many knives I carry each day give me incredible versatility and functionality.
Your Talon screams "streamlined"!

They also have cabins. My bride and I honeymooned in one of them some 33 years ago.
That's very cool, Frank; I'll bet that was a fabulous honeymoon hide-away 3 decades ago!

...
Great pic of your Joker GT :thumbup:
...
Meeting up with Scruff today, so my bag is very well stocked, but I have these two in my pocket :thumbup:



Thanks, Jack. Your pair looks good here, and on the pub table in a later photo scruff posted!

Very nice Jack. Hope you fellas have a good day.
I'm still waiting to hear about your recent visit with Stan Shaw and that knife he's holding. :cool::D
Gotta agree with everything Bob wrote here!

...
GT Grand to see that Little Green Rooster is still floating your boat :cool:

Thanks, Will
Thanks for the little H&R, Will; I suspect that it's a permanent member of my fleet of canoes!

Congrats on the compelling Remington, Ernie!

...
Carrying a little Black Cherry with me today.

Man, that one is unforgettable, Kris!!!

I love me some Barlows, but scouts/campers hold a place for me too. I guess that's why I'm rarely without my SAK Pioneer. Today however, the postman brought me this little jewel. I don't think it's ever seen a stone.
...
Congrats on the dazzling Remington Scout, btmac!

...
Today I carried a TC Barlow and a Vic Popular.

Have a terrific evening all!

Ken K.
Another day, another enchanting pair, Ken! That Popular is especially popular with me.

Thankful Tim let this one go. :thumbup: Just opened the box and the tube a few minutes ago. :D

That is a flawless 77 Barlow, Brett; congrats!

Happy National Knife Day everyone! Got to start them young!

Glorious pic!! So the little cupcake is a lefty, eh??

Just looking at last couple pages I see some great TC 14s! I carried mine as well along with another favorite. My co-workers give me funny looks as I often have at least one knife out while working lol

Heavenly pair, Drew!! (Literally so for the Dunn, right?)

Another impressive old Barlow, Atiger; congrats!

...
I've got a Camillus 72 with me today:

That's a looker, Greg; BSA shield?

This sad little Kent came in the other day a little beat up, rusty, and had paint (I think) all over it.
...
I tried to show it a little love to knock off the grime, but tried to preserve the character as well. Good cleaning,, stone time, and a healthy dose of 3N1. Now it's hanging out with me today at the office.


...
Man, I keep forgetting how scary sharp these old thin carbon blades can get. Wow!

Can anyone attach a date to this guy?
Remarkable rescue, btmac!

Congrats on acquiring on of Dean' renowned New Days, Dee; magnificent spey blade!

...
I had these two with me today :) :thumbup:



Noteworthy covers on both, Jack!

...
Today's knives: First is an electrician I got from Mark on the Exchange. I've been hunting one for awhile and this one fits the bill - a Schrade Walden in Cocobolo.



Second, what has become a daily carry - my Red jigged bone spearpoint TC Barlow. Don't know how it got in this tree!

Outstanding pair, Dean! Congrats on the Schrade Walden electrician. That red TC of yours has turned into a Tree Climber!

I'll carry and use this knife till I can't physically do it anymore. It would be a sin to let it sit on a shelf, especially when it cuts so well. :)
Thanks for writing a little bit about that venerable beauty, Ted! I've seen it many times, but didn't know much about it until now.

...
One knife today.

Have a good one!

Ken K.
Ooh-la-la!! (I must be bilingual.)

I have spent the day with this elderly gent! Schrade Cutlery Co.:D

Prestigious old Schrade Barlow, Ron!

Hay'n Helper

Those 2-blade Hay'n Helpers sure look sweet! Yours is especially nice with the patina; how did you "do" the blades?

Still have the Robert Klaas in my pocket, decided to cary the Cover too, and the Winchester just arrived today.

Tremendous trio, Elgin!

This week, in addition to the knives I've posted previously this week, I'm also carrying
a Rough Rider stag copperhead

Thankful Tim let this one go. :thumbup: Just opened the box and the tube a few minutes ago. :D

Glad you got the knife Brett :) wicked wharncliffe~

Beautiful Winchester barlow :)

A little osage

I've got one of those too! I love that specific 'US Silver Dollar' especially for the artwork they chose for it. Great looking OO as well~

Here's my carry for the next 7 days. New to me from today, Ken Erickson 3 5/8" Serpentine Jack in CPMD2

:cool: :thumbup:

I had these two with me today :) :thumbup:




:thumbup: :thumbup:

That bottom one is on a tear. It signifies the meaning of "EDC". :)

That is a fantastic Barlow!▲▲ Fantastic photo!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks to a friend. ;)

That electrician is classy, old school, cool. The TC goes with saying..... :thumbup:

Today I carried two brand new ones that I can imagine still going strong in a hundred years. (as long as they avoid the dreaded grinder)


Lovely carries, Rachel :thumbup:. Do you think we'll be seeing your beautiful scrimshaw artistry anytime soon ;).

Carrying the WT again today. Really is an exceptionally useful design.

Those tomatoes want no part of that blade :eek:. Look at the one you laid the edge on..... it's bruising from contact :confused:.

The carry today, the RR surprisingly has decent fit and finish. Some space on the back spring but sharp and snappy. Of course I love my #77, hasn't left my pocket. Can't wait for the next run of 77's!

Wharnncliffe blade and a serpentine pattern equals one sexy knife in my book. I'll be carrying this new-to-me 55 for the next few days.

I've been away from this thread for a little while - 18 pages to catch up on. Missing my daily dose of traditional beauty :)

Haven't posted here in a while, as I've not changed my carry in almost two weeks. Love this little 14.

I am carrying a Lonewolf "US.45" with checkered rosewood scales. I thought it would be a bit bulky for an edc but it's not and I really am enjoying it. It reminds me of an old buck folder I carried as a youngster. I beat the heck out of that knife and it never failed to perform.
