What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[eschwebach]

I never noticed the "horizontal divide" in the jigging on that knife before, Erik. Kind of cool; it reminds me of little piles of coins stacked on top of one another with the top stacks slightly offset from those underneath. And that "pyramid" thing in the background kind of continues the same stacking motif! (Is that actually deliberate??)

I wish I put that much thought into my compositions GT. I'm afraid it was accidental.

Carrying same knife today.

Really like that color combo, P&G! What model Vic is that orange Alox old cross knife?
- GT

Thanks GT it is called a Pioneer Settler, has the regular main blade and smaller secondary blade.

No natural light today. End of year dreariness.

That is a great looking combo, Alan! :thumbup:

Very distinctive, Dean. :thumbup: What size is that, and is the handle bubinga?

Hey, it's good to see your 66 Slim Calfroper again, Dean! :thumbup: (And I used a pencil like that yesterday; thanks!)

My SAK this week is actually spelled BSA scout (thanks, Paul). On a whim, I used it this morning to slice up apples, grapes, apricots, carrots, celery, and green pepper for my oatmeal; man, I LOVE the blades on those old Imperials!

- GT

Thank you for your compliments, Gary! The Opinel is a No.8 Slim in Bubinga wood.

Your Imperial Official Boy Scout knife is great. Looks like it's a favorite, too. :thumbup:


I'm carrying an Official Boy Scout knife (Ulster) today, too.

Which model Vic is that in your first post, James? That's a version of the cross logo I don't remember seeing before (but my memory ...).

My bailed non-SAK this week is a Colonial electrician:

Thanks for your well wishes GT. The knife you asked about is a (nylon) Vic Sportsman. One that I've been very happy to be carrying the last couple of weeks. It seems the shields on Vic's nylon models vary slightly from their cellidor models and may be less familiar looking. The different shields are shown in more detail below. You have a good eye my friend.

Sportsman (nylon) on L / Tinker (cellidor) on R


Cellidor shield L / Nylon shield R


Your Imperial and Colonial (shown above) are my kind of knives!! Both appear to be in excellent condition. Any idea how old they are?

Great knives all, but the quality of pictures and settings are equally wonderful.

Taking a clue from my good friend Paul Hilborn, I picked up a new pocket sheath. Same concept as Paul's, but a different maker. It'll hold a variety of knives of different size and set up to hold the Space Pen.
I'm carrying the same Beerlow from yesterday.

Nice Scout Gary and Dean:thumbup:

Recent forum knife for me today.

That's a great pouch, Bob. May I ask where you bought it?
