What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Gevonovich]

Thank you. I love these queues de poisson and have just ordered a third one.

My dad's aluminum bin-full of clay marbles is around here somewhere. I'll try to find them before the marbles topic is exhausted.

Please do!! I would love to see that composition :thumbup: A third

Great knife! And the BBQ looks pretty tasty, too!

Beer scout earlier but always happy to switch to the drover after work. Really cannot get enough of this knife. Its perfection IMO!

Just one of the knives that I'm surrounded by at my desk.

It was found in my truck when we really cleaned the bed out. No way to tell who made it. Or if it was real steel or SS.
Just know that what's left of the secondary blade is sharp. And it still snaps reasonably well.

I don't think so ....you picked out that beautiful Ancient

Thanks, Gev!

 

[pertinux]

In memory of our dear Hailey

I am so sorry.



... an exquisitely heartbreaking, pocketable commemorative.

(I have the same knife, and love the finesse of the pattern and especially its canine appointments.)

'Cat's Eyes' is a good name GT (like the road safety device) I wish I could remember all the rules to the game we played on grates in the street and school yard, but it's 50 years ago now!

Thanks pal, I never tire of seeing your special Stockman :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack. I don't remember the rules or terminology of our marbles game either (nor do I remember the rules of our jack knife games). I DO recall that we always played a game with a "pot" that we dug into the ground with the heel of a shoe, and I think it involved everyone putting a marble in the pot as an ante, then standing behind a line quite a ways from the pot and rolling our "boulders" ("bowlers" would make more sense) or "shooters" toward the hole. I don't think we ever "shot" a marble by flicking it with our thumbs.

Aggies were originally made of agate. Their weight made them formidable shooters.
We called the oversized marbles "boulders". These are giant boulders my dad brought back from Colorado, some conference he used to go to.
And my new fish-tail.

Cool French fish, scrteened porch! Those boulders brought back some memories! We had marbles that we called "agates", but our marbles were always glass, so I don't think we knew what we were talking about back then.

I enjoy seeing it too, GT. Please let me know if the skrim starts to wear or fade. You are the beta tester of the EDCability of my India Ink/wax technique.

I confess that I didn't really play marbles much, I just liked to collect pretty ones. We used to play jacks (the game with the ball and spiky things) and I was a champ at pick-up-sticks. I think those were more popular girl's games back then vs. marbles.

I've taken to carrying my MJ fixed blade on the weekends:


Plus this sturdy beauty today:


Try to imagine both with some patina, as I'm too lazy to try to take a new picture today.

r8shell, I carry that RR stockman all the time, usually with another small knife in a whittling thumb guard in my watch pocket. But I rarely use the stockman. Those are important "facts" to keep in mind when I say that I checked the knife today and can see no change in the scrimshaw from the photo I posted, taken soon after I received the knife. Your technique appears to be quite effective! :thumbup:

Your weekend knives look great! I must be REALLY lazy, because I almost never update pics of my knives; once I have a recognizable shot of a knife, I plan to reuse it ad infinitum.

My Sunday, (and everyday), carry.

Your Peanut just keeps looking better, Ben!

GT and Jack Black : Thank you very much for the kind remarks on my Case Pen Knife . My Wife bought it for me about 8 years ago , I had never carried it before . It is a 1940 to 1964 vintage one .

Harry

Lots of varieties of stag on knife handles, and lots of different preferences that people have, but IMHO, the stag you have on your Case pen knife is the BEST, Harry! :thumbup: I really like the reddish orange version of stag.

Buck 110 and Case swayback today!

...

That's NOT your father's 110, Blinkknives (apologies to the old Oldsmobile ads)! Super souped-up version! :thumbup:

Decided to switch things up today and carry this C.Tenney Trading Co half whittler with desert ironwood burl handles as my Sunday go to meeting knife.

I've never heard of Tenney Trading, but that's sure a desirable half-whittler, freekboi!

Only picked the whittler, but I had to put the entire crew together for this pic...lol

That's an astonishing trio, Alchemy! :thumbup:

...
The Wharnie is CPM-S35VN at 60-61HRC which I sharpened up a bit with no problem. It cuts like crazy and the sturdy wide blade makes it perfect for tough duty and it slices well too. I like the steel a lot. The Cocobolo is some pretty nice wood and the the sheath is something a little different then what you see everyday. A nice package in my estimation.

The Lloyd Trapper, with some awesome (my favorite handle material by far) stag and CPM-154 hasn't seen a lot of use yet, but has done what little I've asked of it so far. I put a new hair popping edge on it that I should be able to maintain with a leather hone. John's knives are really well made and the fact that they're a bargain for a custom knife makes it easier for me to carry and use this one.

A "bucket shot" from this morning. I'm afraid you'll see the same knives for awhile...

Splendid knives, Gary! I really like that sheath with the lacing (rather than stitching). I'd like to try my hand at a simple version of that some day.

Not too pretty anymore, but they work.

The fact that they work makes 'em pretty to me, Alan. :thumbup:

...
The clearie shooter won the lag and this one is for keepsies Its Ringer...so get your ducks in a row

Superb photo, Gev! :thumbup:

This'll do for today.

That'll do for most every day, I'll wager! :thumbup:

...
Today it's a Case Eisenhower and a Wenger Pocket Tool Chest.

Have a great day!

Ken K.

Stunning pearl Eisenhower, Ken!

...
Your two EDC knives have become classic favorites to see on the Porch, Gary! Both look useful and the RR stockman is, of course, one of a kind. :thumbup:
...
I had my scratted Ancient with me today.

Thanks for the kind words about my all-the-time knives, Dean, and for the marbles recollections. Fantastic shot of your scratted Ancient! :thumbup: (Do you have an ebony Ancient, not scratted? You posted a pic of an Ancient somewhere recently, and I'd swear it had smooth ebony handles, but maybe I was fooled by the lighting. )

...
My favorite, and I'm sure one of yours too.
...

Thanks, Dee. You're right, that scrimshawed stockman has a LOT going for it, in my opinion.

This Moki Kronos in VG10 and stagbone covers. A truly elegant piece of cutlery...

Elegant is almost an understatement, Frank! :thumbup: What a sensational knife! :thumbup:

Loaded up for a new week this evening.
My Canoe for this week is a stag Rough Rider:

Stockman for this week is a Case humpback in pocket-worn bone (thanks, Mike):

Alox for this week is a silver Cadet (thanks, Ken):

Thanks, Gary. I do have an ebony Ancient also of which I have recently posted a photo. They are both great knives.

I'm glad to hear the stockman is holding up. :thumbup:

I reuse photos too, but sometimes I'll take an update shot to show patina.

 

[freekboi]

I've never heard of Tenney Trading, but that's sure a desirable half-whittler.

From what I've been able to find they were made on contact by Queen Cutlery, but I don't know anything about C. Tenney themselves.
