What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Bonestag is really nice and thick on that one! I think it's important that smaller knives do have thicker handles, much more comfortable.

What manner of caterpillar is that???:eek::D:D

Thanks, Will

Thanks, the handle is very comfortable, though if ebony had been an option, I probably would have gone for that.

I have no idea what kind of caterpillar that is. :eek: It was on my porch and narrowly missed getting stepped on this morning, so I stopped to take a picture. :D This attracted the attention of the cat, so I moved it away into the yard, not knowing if it is something poisonous. I hope I'm not repaid for my kindness by it attacking the trees. :(
 
Totin this Ebony HJ10 for the first time today. :thumbup::cool:

That M.Z. Toledo has great lines!

I went with the Pioneer today.

Thanks, FBC. :) Pioneers sure are useful knives! :cool:

Gary[/B] - Thank you my friend! :D That is one FINE Zamorano you have there! :thumbup:
:D Thanks, Ron. Congrats on the stunning ebony HJ10 you posted today! :thumbup::thumbup:

No, that's just an odd reflection. The tip is safely stowed.

I'm always happy to see that Zamorano from Toledo and think back on the story you told of your adventures in Spain. :thumbup:
Thanks for the clarification about the RR canoe, Greg; I have a couple of canoes with very nearly proud blade tips that I keep an eye on.
And thanks for the kind words about my Zamorano and trip to Spain. :) One of the things I've really come to enjoy and appreciate about this hobby is the wonderful memories associated with so many of my knives! :thumbup::D

...
Thanks GT, the Sodbuster is certainly a great pattern, good to see your Zamorano again :thumbup:
...
Thanks, Jack. I'm going to confess that my Zamorano isn't actually on my schedule for this week, but a knife that IS on the schedule I've given away since the schedule was made, so I grabbed the Zamorano to fill the gap simply because it was good to see it again! :rolleyes:;)

Been camping for about a week, away from the WWW, great peace was found! It's going to take a while to catch up around here!
Won't bore everyone with the camping pics, but here's the lake (Lake of the Arbuckle's), and the obligatory knife pic while we were there.

That's an amazing, breathtaking knife, Mitch!! :eek::thumbup: What model is it? I don't know what the official name for the pattern is, but I love its serpentine sleeveboardy penknifeishness, and its killer stag!!! :cool:

Thanks, Gary! I haven't seen a one-arm trapper before - it looks neat. :thumbup:
Thanks, Dean. :) Having a one-arm model with 2 blades always seems somewhat contradictory to me. If a person NEEDS the one-arm blade due to physical limitations, how can that person ever deploy the other blade?? I suppose it could be for people with both arms available who just want the option of a OHO blade.

More of my knives for this week:

Thanks, GT!
It's a Willamette Whittler. I've really grown fond of the Wharncliffe blade, like your swayback! :thumbup:
 
Lovely knives, all.

This has been making me happy all week...

I was at a friends place last weekend and almost as an afterthought, they pulled out a tupperware container from a cupboard and showed me the contents.

One of their previous jobs had been at a place where people have to go through a metal detector and empty their pockets before entering. He told me that there was a huge box there full of sharp and pointy EDC tools people had forfeited or didn't care about enough to come back to get when they left. The good stuff got picked over pretty quick, he said, but there were a few odds and ends he picked up for his toolbox on site. Some cheap chinese junk, of course; warehouse workers' boxcutters and Stanley knives, an imitation SAK...

I immediately zeroed in on this treasure, though.

A Schrade 36OT in excellent working order, pretty much unused, with just a bit of rust and some paint spots on it.

I cleaned it up, refined and sharpened the edges, and that sucker went straight into my pocket!







And a before shot -

Excellent contrastive shot!:thumbup:

I could use that Northwoods W to death :D The GEC 38 frame is a wonderful knife in all its configurations and it's one that GEC could release more of. I'd really like to see their version of a 2 blade single-spring, but with Clip, Spear or Drop-Point master. Corncob light bone, Rat-Tails and a Gimp type shield, smooth bone too.. Well, if you don't dream, then you're not properly alive .....:cool:

Regards, Will
 
Light & Dark. For today.

Paul very kindly sent me this present the other day and I'm really grateful.:cool: The Coco on it is so dark that it's an Ebony double, glad he removed the bail too, I am not a fan of them on a pocket-knife, same with lanyard holes, don't see the need...:confused: .But, without variety, we have only boredom:D
