What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jeff_R]

Just received this nice little Boker stockman. Its a well made knife and I am liking it quite a bit.

That is a really nice looking stockman. I like the dye color on those covers. And in my book, rounded bolsters are always good. :thumbup:

P.S. Aren't those bullet space pens so handy to keep in the pocket? I always have one on me, too.

Thanks, yes I thought the dye job was interesting on this one, its a green bone handle but the bone came out with some orange on its edge, and yes I would agree on the bullet space pens, they are handy little pens.

A great looking pair Alan.

From one Alan to another, thank you.

Just ordered one of the Northfield 74 Stallion with a Muskrat Clip and Cougar Clawed Bone .
I wonder how many more animals can be used in the name of 1 knife .

Nice #99 and #66 Alan, great picture

Beautiful fixed and folder Matt:thumbup:

A Camel Bone Pruner for me today...

 

[joeradza]

Thanks guys, I just shoot 'em.
Paul, I have a reservation on a #13 in smooth bone. If it's anything like that beautiful pruner, I'll be thrilled.

Not the best picture, but here is today's choice

Old Friends Friday : This not my oldest knife , but it is the one that I have had the longest . Bought new in 1961 and carried daily until 2003. My old Ulster # 63 was also my first ever Good knife .

[joeradza]

That Ulster must have a lot of stories to tell Harry.

Wow, that is very impressive. I aspire to something like that, and so I've been pretty good about caring around my 77 Barlow as my main edc. I usually have a modern with me, but I'll reach for the barlow 99% of the time.

So, did you use it for everything? Daily food prep, camping, work--I'd love to hear about the milage on that beauty.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[GuestWho101]

A good looking and varied collection, Dee. :thumbup:


I'm carrying these two. The Ancient TC finds its way into my pocket frequently; the Case CV punch stockman is a new acquisition that is trying out my RFP for a few days.

Thanks, Dean!

Ruby Red better look out.
Ancient is in the running for knife of the year.

Thank you AIAS and Alan : It was MY EDC before I even heard the EDC term . Cleaned Rabbit , Squirrel , Fish , and Quail . Carried it with me as an Engineer in the construction and agricultural industry . Took it to almost every state and a fair amount of countries including Uzbekistan . I magnetized the blades to use it for inspecting and trouble shooting Hydraulic , Diesel Engine , and large Transmission failures . I treated it right and it never let me down. It was 1 of only 3 knives that I had at the time and the other 2 were junk but I still have them too .

Lots of terrific knives today! For Old Friend Friday I was Totin this Red Bone Case. I bought it new in 1973 and have probably had it in my pocket for at least 25 of those 44 years.

Thanks for the compliments Gary! You will never be a stranger to these pages my friend!:thumbup:

Thanks for the encouraging words, Ron.
Your red bone Case knives astound me every time you treat us to a glimpse of them. The one you posted here is splendid (as is your old nickel)! :thumbup: I was a brand new college graduate in 1973, and I'll admit I don't look half as good as that knife does now.

...
That Colt and my RR look like they could be cousins. I know what you mean about the pattern. I have been on the look out for a sowbelly whittler....that I can afford.

I went back to the Winchester whittler.There is something about this one that just works for me.

Looking forward to seeing a sowbelly whittler from you someday, sir! That Winchester whittler is certainly no slouch!!!

Manuel Bermúdez - Taramundi

I really admire the carved handle on your Taramundi, Brett! :thumbup: How are you liking your relatively-new Taramundis? I was using mine in the kitchen last week, and seem to like the knife more every time I use it.

As some of you may know, I'm partial to the GEC #66 (Calf Roper Slim), but who am I kidding (ANY & ALL 66's are welcome).

...

"Get your kicks on Route 66." Lots of equal-end ecstasy there, Dee! :thumbup:

Congrats on the new punch stockman, Dean! Did I read somewhere that it's stockman #30 for you?? Quite a milestone! :thumbup: Of course, the Ancient has True Character. :thumbup:

My new favorite, the 66 YR and my 99 Stag.

I thought you were a committed stag junky, Alan, so I'm amazed that sweetest little rosebud is the only one for thee! :thumbup:

Looking forward to photos of your new menagerie, Harry! Congrats! :thumbup:

I always enjoy seeing that old Ulster of yours, Harry. Seems like most of the knives you carry currently are single-bladed; do you ever miss having a multi-blade knife? Are your other 2 "junk" knives from back then traditional patterns? If so, may we see pics sometime! Thanks! :thumbup:


More of the knives I've been lugging around this week appear below.
Alox of the Week is a Vic Electrician (thanks, Greg):

Coincidentally, I've also been carrying the Vic Classic and Minichamp in the preceding photo.
My Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a modified 2014 Forum knife (thanks, Mark):

A Taylor-Schrade 44OT Workmate (claim to fame: 4 different blade shapes) is in my watch pocket this week:
