What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Will Power]

Right! They certainly do look sinister...

Talking about Ebony Barehead, I really like this Talon (Spear) I got from Ken K

 

[Hickory n steel]

I decided to start changing primary blades weekly, so for the next week I'm going with my Barlow.

 

[Itsasportsbar]

Well done everyone!

Thanks for the comments Alan and Gary.

Very nice Chui-888/ Paul and terrific pair Shawn.

I carried these two today. A GEC 25, thanks Will, what are the odds on both of us carrying these today. And a Vic Pioneer Pruner.

Have a good one!

Ken K.

 

[Hickory n steel]

Is that a German or Chinese bulldog ? 'cause I've got a Chinese bulldog and the quality is certainly right up there with rough rider.

 

[5K Qs]

My trusty Little Indian Girl Canoe for the weekend.

Rather unique canoe, Macchina! :thumbup: How do you like it?

...
Today I carried an Eric's Jack and a Kutmaster Purina knife that I found at the market today.

Have a good one!

Ken K.

Eric's Jack is excellent, Ken, and the Kutmaster ad knife is distinctive! I'd love to see photos of your oft-mentioned market some day!

Thanks GT. The direction and inspiration I've gotten since being here is my knowledge base, and my bank account is headed south, lol.

Alan

Sounds like fun while it lasts, Alan!

Did somebody say...smoores..gest ...bord:thumbup:...

Thanks, Gev (I think ).

Thanks, Gary! You have a good looking peanut trio there. :thumbup:...

Thanks, Dean.

Thanks GT . Your thread on traditional knives in Spain has been a great help. A Couple Taramundi knives are next on the list.
...

Glad to hear that my Spanish knives were helpful, Brett; Taramundis are splendid knives! :thumbup:

That's a slender, elegant, dignified folder, Travman!

That's a pointy one for sure, FBC! :thumbup: I look at the AG Russell site quite frequently, and may pick up something from the War Eagle line before too long.

GT, you must have one sturdy belt or an impressive pair of suspenders to keep your pants up with all those knives in your pockets!

It's rare that I'll carry more than one knife one me, but it happens occasionally. Today, I've got this Natural Stag #25…

…as well as this newly-acquired Frontier stockman.

That's a first-class pair, Barrett; that Frontier stockman seems to be in amazing condition!
I'll admit that when I put on clean pants with empty pockets in the morning, they feel light as a feather compared to the previous day's pants that I usually carry downstairs because the clanging of the transfer of pocket contents in the bedroom would disturb my sleeping wife. And I'm very happy to have an elasticized fabric belt that I can cinch VERY tight, but still have some "give" when I move around so it doesn't wreck my back!

Case Wharncliffe Mini-trapper.
Tru-Sharp and I think this is "rancher bone".

Nice knife, Frank. :thumbup: Do you like the Wharncliffe blade better than a spey blade in a mini trapper?

...
Dean & GT

Thank you! It may be the honeymoon phase talking, but it feels like a favorite. Maybe it's the way she wears that gorgeous yellow.....

It's a GEC #54 (Whittler).

The pointy one is a.....

Jess Horn & Beretta collaboration.
Jess Horn - Designer/Original Maker
Manufactured for Beretta by: Moki

It's a Lockback.

(P.S.) Have you guys ever considered going into business together? I'm pretty sure y'all have enough fine cutlery combined to start a storefront. PayPal ---> READY. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks for the help identifying those knives you posted, Dee. I was quite sure the "yellow" one was a whittler of some kind, but the "pointy one" was a total mystery to me!
Haven't made any business proposals to Dean. I think he'd have to handle the premium stock, and I'd head the economy selection.

...
Thanks GT! And I am very happy to be introduced to your interspecies chestnut peanut!

Today the Middleman was with me. After the chores were finished, a couple of its friends came out to play.

Man, I hadn't even noticed the paradox of "chestnut peanut", Greg! Nice pic of your whittling trio; is each knife next to a chain link it was used to make??

It's been a month straight...

Congrats on your "streak", Jake! Does it surprise you that you've carried a single knife for a month?

You should Gary, it's a lovely piece. Indeed it is the odd Zulu-ish spear which is a surprisingly versatile profile. The pocket worn finishing is well done, as is the bone but the extension spring is the detail that sold it for me;

... and it matches my new Land Rover;



That cv SBJ is the bees knees my friend - it's probably Case' most sought after model
(I might have to go hunting - it looks like a pattern that would suit my tastes)

Thanks for the additional info on your Case teardrop, Paul, including the whimsical photo with the Land Rover.
Thanks for the swayback jack compliment; it sure is a fabulous little knife!

Carrying my Opinel No. 3 today

Welcome to The Porch, FK! How can you even tell if you're carrying an Opinel #3??

Morning folks, still struggling with my internet connection here, and I'm afraid not everyone's pics would load
...
Thanks again my friend Not at all, with the single blades and springs, they're far from heavy :thumbup: That's a fine line-up of Case bone you showed GT :thumbup:
...

...


Have a great Sunday everyone :thumbup:

Jack, your internet woes have lasted for quite a while! Maybe you and others in the same situation can hire a solicitor who'll demand that IT heads roll! Thanks for the kind words about my little group of Case knives. Your quartet of knives are marvelous; I especially like the I*XL Barlow and the Davison! :thumbup: (Great background in the Davison photo. )

Going small (for me) today.
Number 30 Sheffield (thanks Jack), GEC #14 Boys Knife, and Case medium stockman.



Alan

Tremendous threesome, Alan; glorious, rich bone on both the GEC and the Case! :thumbup:

Tim Britton today

Wow, that's a distinctive, unusual knife, bonzodog!

Thanks Tim. I'm happy to give it a new home.

Congrats on your new TC, Bob! :thumbup:

For a change of pace, I am carrying the Sway Back Jack I won a few months back, as well as the ever-present Peanut.

Some very beautiful Case knives on the last page, especially your Chestnut CV Swayback, GT and your Teardrop, Paul.
...
I've got a pair of Ebony Barehead Jacks today. Who knows how many years apart they are, upwards of 120 years or so, if you take the first year that Ulster tang stamp showed up. Its probably closer to 70 years, though. I'll have another ebony barehead jack showing up this week!

Ben and Shawn, each of you posted a notable pair today!!! :thumbup:

I'm carrying several Cases this weekend (all of my Cases, as a matter of fact) and posted pics yesterday. Here are a couple of photos of my most recent Case knives, a chestnut jigged bone CV peanut and an amber jigged bone Tru-Sharp Sodbuster Jr.

Ken What?? That is a really odd co-incidence, great telepathy eh?

Thanks, Will

Of course it's a good thing. A table filled with goodies that you get to choose from!:thumbup:

We've certainly all had enough of it GT :grumpy: Thank you for the kind words my friend, I like the pic of your Sodbuster :thumbup:

 

[knarfeng]

Nice knife, Frank. :thumbup: Do you like the Wharncliffe blade better than a spey blade in a mini trapper?

For me it's a day vs. night difference in usefulness of the knife.
I have a hard time giving much pocket time to a knife which does not have a Wharncliffe or a Sheepsfoot blade.

 

[paulhilborn]

Decided to pick up another single Clip in Stainless and found this CSC. Very very nice knife, great f&f, sharp centered blade with beautiful smooth brown bone covers. I really like this knife, such a shame CSC is no longer

Makes a good pairing with my most used Lick Creek:thumbup:

Very nice! not many of those left

I agree Jack, I believe there were only a few when I purchased several weeks back. This one and my Eric's Jack are terrific knives.

Very nice CSC and a great looking pairing Paul. :thumbup:

Thanks for your opinion, Frank; I can see why you prefer the belly/straight combo to the belly/belly.

Scott, I would love to see a pic of the blade opened on your Esky Zulu. It appears that you achieved a very interesting pattern. :thumbup:

 

[Half/Stop]

My weekend started at noon on Thursday. Pam and I headed south to my daughters home in LA. Got up Friday morning and picked up a 26 foot UHaul. She had 2 professional movers load her belongings from her home into the UHaul. Two things that come immediately to mind are Sardines & Jigsaw Puzzles! Because that is what the back of that truck looked like when I pulled the cargo door down and locked it. We headed north around 3PM and spent the night in Birmingham. Saturday morning we were up bright and early and headed north to the Music City. We arrived safely and were unloaded by 2 more professional type dudes. I had my OO 73 as my only knife all the time. I cut a ton of cardboard and shrink wrap and packing tape. Nothing major just common tasks. I know all of you will get a kick out of this. My daughter ordered Pizza for us for a quick evening meal Saturday. Some of the slices needed a little extra cut or two so out comes the 73. My daughters best friend from college had come over to help us unpack. When she saw my 73 she uttered one of the most well known knife phrases, "Now that's a knife!" I wiped the marinara off the blade, smiled and said, "It's just my favorite pocket knife!" I dropped my old friend back in my pocket and went back to enjoying my NY Pizza. I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

I forced the patina using Sriracha hot sauce.
