What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

OK been boasting & showing this off in a couple of other threads, hope you don't get bored...:eek: Simple and functional yet extremely well made, delighted with this Crown Lifter. Does it have faults, not that I can find. It will of course look a lot better when the rather pointy jigging has smoothed down after a week or two of carry, my first knife of 2017 and a very promising start. It wasn't expensive, I didn't have to pre-order, get on an angst trip about whether I'm going to get it or not or pay a massive mark up on the 2nd market. It's the same as any other GEC 15 just less sought after-thankfully for me.;)

I hope your next knife pleases you as much as this pleases me:cool:

Nice crownlifter, I hope the folks here don't crucify me for it, but I preffer their look to the beer scouts. What I actually wanted to ask, is that a half crown next to it?
 
I just can't seem to keep this one out of my pocket. Out of the 20 or so 303's I have this one really speaks to me.

I have a Camillus and a flat-ground Buck 303. I like them both, but I usually carry something just a little longer-handled. Today I'm making room for this ca 1916 Robeson.

I like it all the more because I got it for $5. Plus continuing elbow grease. Most of the black grunge is gone now and there are only a couple of tiny areas of light pitting.

It's a beaut! I so love all the old/vintage knives we see around here. I have to stop myself from wondering away from my beloved 303's or I'm afraid I'll disappear down a very deep rabbit hole!

Gorgeous and very functional knife indeed! Great bone color and jigging. I can't believe those are less sought after as it a looker in my eye. I seem to use my Ulster sheepfoot the most nowadays. Hope your staying warm! Hard freeze here last night and tonight, then maybe a little warmer.
 
rishma Iskra Gev Thank you all for your appreciation, I'm really bowled over by this one, not only practical but a looker too. The pulls are just right too and it's sharp.

Žan Nobody will crucify you for expressing a divergent opinion (just look at my signature :D ) but I totally agree with you. The BS version offers many scale choices but it has a bail which I frankly don't go for, limits real pocket carry in my view. Plus, I think this Crown Lifter looks better without a shield. The current run offers 2 versions, Ebony and this Jigged Bone of mine. There seems to be quite a few on sale still. Good eye you have Sir, you must be a numismatist? It is indeed a Half-Crown,( 2 shillings & sixpence or 12.5 p in the current money) from Britain and this one from George IV's reign, 1825. I used to be interested in coins, could get back into them if it weren't for knives ;)

Gev Fantastic Blonde on that Barlow, the shard gives us a glimpse of the real beauty of the sawn-bone, the sort of beauty that doesn't fade :)

Regards, Will

I agree with your sentiments completely. I certainly like mine - nice looking, easy to obtain and excellent quality.

Primble, nice to see you here! Do you like that Muley as much as I like mine? BTW, I like mine a lot.
