What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Looks good to me Travman!

I feel ashamed to have not carried this one in a while. Bret Dowell 4" Trapper in acid etched A2 and green micarta. Definitely has the firmest and most positive stops of any slipjoint I own, yet the pull is still very manageable.

Welcome back, Greg. January was a pretty sporadic BF month for me, too (not voluntarily). Good-looking Case; a new-to-you whittler?

...

Charismatically curvaceous, Greg!! Ettrick pattern? Who's the maker?

...

Lotta knives in my pockets this week that I haven't posted yet.

Thanks, GT! It's good to see that you're getting some time to spend here, too.

The case is a 6383 from my birth year that I picked up last fall. I've been holding off sharpening it while I play around with potential mods on a much newer model. I think I've just about got it figured out and decided I might as well carry it as-is in the mean time.

The Ettrick is an A. Wright sporting a generic "Made in Sheffield" tang stamp.

I always enjoy seeing your weekly carries and that Klaas canoe particularly caught my eye this time. :thumbup:
 
Beautiful old Remington, Gev. Warm old bone like that makes me crave caramels.

I've decided to give a small fixed blade a try replacing the modern clipped I usually carry in addition to a traditional in the pocket.



I've rigged a sheath that can hang in the pocket or dangle out if I'm just puttering around the house:
 
Rachel, Your sheath lanyard idea is brilliant! I'm going copy your idea for a small sheath knife that' I've been wanting to carry.

Great idea r8shell. It gave me a similar idea for one of my hitch and timber slips. Thanks!

Neat sheath with a Finnish flavor! And that fixed blade is a treasure if it's anything like the knife Marko sent me for my Birthday;) That man has a heart as beautiful as his creations :D

Thanks, guys. It's getting a trial run today, but I think it should work well.
And you're right about Marko. His talent is only matched by his kindness.

Thanks, Will. It pains me to leave it at home because I have to fly to beautiful Colorado but I bet I can find something to help fill the void when I get there.
It is the first time in a lonnnnnnnnng time that I will be with out a knife in my pocket. It feels just plain unnatural. :eek:
See you folks when I get back home.

Super Bowl Party means something special so deciding was hard. These three made the cut.

Great group Alan...they are all clip blades, don't you need a good cheese spreader?:p:D


of course I love clip blades also. I don't carry my 72 in natural stag near enough. And a early clip fixie from Mark...I modded this one some.

When I got up this morning I thought about what I wanted to carry today. I decided to drop something in my pocket that had a little RED on it. Just for luck if you catch my drift! :rolleyes: I figured it couldn't hurt! ;) Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! :D Bob and Paul I am sure we will probably be in touch later today. :eek:
