What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[AShearer]

Glad to have you back, Jack!
Some great stag on your carry today.
Totin' my Scagel Fruitport today.

That is very cool Gary. I'm not at all familiar with Scagel and will have to do some research.

It's my fault for using a filter on that pic r8shell Here it is without :thumbup: The items in the background are square blister-steel ingots I think. That's a great wee Gunstock :thumbup:

Wow! What a difference Jack. I read the same thing R8shell did. Funny how the mind plays tricks on us. Glad you're back on line my friend and thanks for the photos.

Today's carry:

r8shell that is a lovely photo of a great looking piece. I would love to find one on the exchange some day. Thank you for posting that.

Jack, that pic does look like it was taken at the Titanic, cool effect.

Great looking Fruitport, Gary, I remember the run well, and the stag ones sold quick. Ivory, stag and rams horn IIRC.

Today I have this wharncliffe trapper, built by the extremely talented, Tom Overeynder. The "Trapper" themed engraving was done in a Bulino style, by Brian Hochstrat. Brian is one of the top engravers in the world, and getting better all the time. Blades are perfectly ground, CPM D2, with a very nice finish. 18k pins and shield. The old bone is from Schrade, circa 1920's.

Have a great Sunday!

Misplaced this for a bit. I knew it was in the house somewhere, but couldn't track her down.

Glad to have it back in my pocket!

Thanks Gary What a stellar knife! :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack!

That's a beauty! While we might not be on the same page, I'd say we're in the same chapter...Toting the 89 Melon whittler today



~Chip

Thanks, Chip. I like your Melon Tester too. I do think we're in same chapter!

Always a treat to see a Scagel...wow!

Thanks, Gev!

That is very cool Gary. I'm not at all familiar with Scagel and will have to do some research.

Thanks, Alan. KSF owns the Scagel Trademark and the Fruitport was one of their endeavors. They were made by GEC and ground by Bark River with a Convex edge. Just a great knife. Read up on William Scagel if you're not familiar with his history. His knives are highly prized.

A BEAUTY Bob, I have a couple, jigged red bone and ebony, I love the knife:thumbup:

Is it the picture or did you re-profile the tip:thumbup:

I just received it in a trade deal. It is new in the tube, so I believe it is a factory mishap that I intend to correct. It appears as though someone at sharpening slipped and put the spine of the tip into the belt. It's an easy fix though when I'm feeling better.

Thank you, my friend! Can't wait to see your new coffin jack :thumbup::thumbup:

 

[JupiterPaladin]

Will be toting my new Mini Trapper just to see how capable it is for the size. I keep hearing that they punch above their weight class

Bob, wasn't sure if it was the lighting or not, it actually has a pretty unique look, like a piercing tip? I agree with you as it won't take long if you decide to fix. On a side note: A week from today my friend:thumbup:

The pony again for me today...

Very nice Gev, neat little Pearl, grand ol Stockman and a SAK for all the little odd day to day projects:thumbup:

When I read you quote, Bobby Darrin came to mind

 

[picturerock]

Sunday smoke and Northwoods Bear Lake to carry

 

[Will Power]

Very pretty knife that Northwoods.:thumbup:

Kind of pang or nostalgia for pipe smoking, not smoked this century, it's almost impossible to get pipe tobacco now in Scandinavia It used to help me concentrate, think and relax...lost things.

 

[RDaneel]

Do you take your daily hikes year-round, Dean?

- GT

Once a week year round with two additional per week in January and February. I also do a lot of walking - that is almost daily.

Lately, this seems to have taken up permanent occupation rights in my pocket. Odd because I'm not usually a massive Stockman fan, this somehow sets a new trend. Eagerly awaiting my second Winchester, a Coffin Jack, that is being sent on from the USA after I snapped it up on the Exchange.

I see a bit of patina forming on the blade....:thumbup: You have inspired me to carry the stockman today. I am looking forward to seeing that coffin jack.

I am running behind so this is from the day before yesterday. I had a little Douk Douk with me yesterday but forgot to take a pic.
