What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[5K Qs]

Thanks for the advice my friend :thumbup:

Yesterday, and again today....





Together with my Enzo Elver :thumbup:

You're welcome, Jack. That's a wonderful pair of folders you posted! :thumbup: (Probably a tremendous trio of knives, actually, but I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about fixed blades. )

Recently acquired 66 moose, I love the coloring on this jigged bone!!

Magnificent moose, Jeff! Kind of nice not to have to make a decision about whether to carry a big clip or a big spear!

...
No sense my buying an Eldris; we're a "dirk or dagger" state.

As a fellow Michigander, I'm wondering what this means. Is there a state law restricting fixed blade carry?

Ted! Great pics and congrats on that forum knife...the color is excellent!

My new EDC showed up a little unexpected! 3.5" closed, 154CM steel, dark jigged bone with a "modified" blade setup (wharncliffe instead of the sheepsfoot).

Thanks Reese!!!

...

Congrats on another distinctive custom, Jake; that's a majestic twist on the stockman pattern!! :thumbup::thumbup:
And +5K regarding comments on Ted's pics of his Forum knife!

Another day with the Presidential.

Provocative photo of your primo Presidential, Dean! :thumbup: It provoked me to get out after lunch yesterday and take care of leaves in the yard.

...
I went to the market today and picked up, among others, these two little beauties which I carried today.

A Schrade 807UH and a kinda cool CIL knife which is marked made in Sheffield.

I'm off to the deer camp tomorrow for a week of hunting so I won't post for a bit.

Have a great day all!!

Ken K.

Congrats on your market treasures, Ken! :thumbup: (Does your market have a website?? )
Have a safe and enjoyable week of hunting; I hope you come out victorious over Bambi and his gang! :thumbup:

Hope everyone is having a good one! Totin this Case Seahorse Whittler today.

That's wondrous whittler, Ron! Is that the second knife you took on your visit to your daughter?

Carrying the 82 Dixie stockman today.

Fine photo of a charismatic coin and a stunning stag stockman, Tony! :thumbup:

...
Carrying my Todd Davison Sheepsfoot and my Abbeydale today Have a great Sunday everyone :thumbup:


...

I always enjoy this photo of your Davison, Jack, with the sheep in the background!

Knives on kitchen duty for me for the past week were an Opinel #7, a Rough Rider one-arm trapper, an old equal end Imperial, and my childhood Forest-Master.

Thank you my friend, the background of the Davison pic is Ilkley Moor, linked for all time to Yorkshire's historic anthem! :thumbup:

That looks like a great knife Buzz :thumbup:

Why the 2016 BFC Traditional Forum's GEC Harness Jack, the Drover of course Enjoy the shininess while you can because after I'm done takin' the mint condition pics it'll never look like that again.

 

[Buzzbait]

That looks like a great knife Buzz :thumbup:

Thanks. The pull on the blade is a little lighter than I prefer. But other than that, it's pretty close to a perfect scout knife for me.

You've posted some great pics of your 2016 BF HJ, Ted!
Menefee Half Congress pen for me today.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Thanks Gary, I have fun takin' posed pics and sharing them, I miss not havin' a dedicated place to take pics with all my props and lights and I need a fast 17-55 mm lens and I'll be set again in the meantime I make do with the camera I bought off Mossy a couple of years ago.

I love your pics as well, we have a lot of great photographers contributing in the traditional forum and you have to admit, traditional knives lend themselves to great pictures to start with.

Always happy to see your childhood Forest-Master, GT! Does it enjoy a privileged spot in your spreadsheet-enabled rotation?

Camillus-made AG Russell Premium Scout. Micarta scales and 154CM main blade.

I don't recall seeing that one before. Looks like a good scout! :thumbup:

Lovely photo of a good-looking knife! :thumbup:

I'll admit that when I purchased this year's Forum Knife, I wasn't sure what sort of use I'd find for the punch. Well, it didn't take long to find its first task:

It worked perfectly for making the eye sockets on this pan de muerto I'm baking this morning.

Same as yesterday, M.S. John White Gentlemen's Bowie and a Tony Bose Texas jack

 

[Half/Stop]

Very nice Ron !!!
Have often wondered about how useful they are and how do they feel ??

Harry - I just traded for this knife Thursday at work. I did not own a Seahorse Whittler and my friend was wanting a Swayback Gent, of which I have several. So, I traded a NIB Gent for this carried with low mileage Seahorse. My initial thoughts are how similar the shape is to the 38 pattern in hand. The feel is very much like my Willamette Whittler. I admit I don't have much time to devote to whittling lately, but I still hold much appreciation for the patterns. So far the only thing I have cut with this one was the packaging on a new microwave. It came through with flying colors!

That's wondrous whittler, Ron! Is that the second knife you took on your visit to your daughter?

Gary you are correct my friend. Cubs Win! :thumbup:

My recent acquisition from Tilley's BigBiscuit sale, I'd say it survived it's "trial by fire" well

The old sheepfoot blade worked well with helping me construct a home for the homeless. I'll call him Romeo

It's not my best work but its been raining for three days and the big guy was miserable and its going to get cold soon. I got some foam board and will insulate his abode soon, now that I know he will use it. Its a work in progress so don't laugh. I think he likes it

Fine Barlow, fine acorns (the future..) and fine work for a creature who clearly appreciates it!:thumbup::thumbup:

My stray cat was out in -25c last winter some days until we took here to town. She now travels between town&country in her little crate and enjoys the best of all worlds. She's tough, fearless and really shows her happiness and appreciation, despite being cast out by some wicked 'people' she is a very sociable and friendly cat. But not so nice to the rats&mice She also enjoys attacking my knives, small ones get batted across the floor or carried around in the mouth dog style

She's been known to sleep on top of wood handled knives in this chair, they must be warm...

 

[Chris Montgomery]

Great knives Kris.


I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Will
She is a fine looking girl indeed!!. She looks exactly like mine!

I will look for a permanent home for him with some good people who will love him. He is a lover and super smart! He watched as I built his home and stayed in it through that nights torrential downpour..high and dry

Thanks for the compliment on my knife! And its so nice to see your girl all content and the carrying of knives in her mouth...priceless.

Thank you, my friend! I enjoyed your group picture in the 72/73 thread and I picked that stag 73 as my favorite of the group too and for some reason... Left front pocket...sticks in my mind. You must be a lefty

I am not a Lefty Gevo . I guess I carry it in the LFP because I always carry it in a slip and the one in my RFP is not in a slip. The one in my RFP is the one that I pull out for quick jobs . I have a fair number of Stag handled knives , but when I got that 73 from my son , I just really like it a lot. I will , and have , used it on a lot of bigger and dirty jobs. I do not baby it at all . Keep in mind that I am retired so most guys have much bigger and dirtier jobs than I do.
