What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[black mamba]

Thanks, Paul, a clip and a smaller straight-edge are hard to beat in my opinion. I was able to get this one really sharp, too.

Don't you just love it when that happens.

I got home and slipped my work boots off, changed into some shorts and put only this in my pocket to do some stuff around the garage. Nice and light.

 

[black mamba]

Don't you just love it when that happens.

Definitely! I freehand sharpen, and can usually get decent steel to shave arm or leg hair, but this one just rolls it off. Must have started with a thinner grind, I guess.

 

[SVTFreak]

I'm not big on rpund ends, but that is drop dead sexy. For a knife and all lol

Yep. It may be a long wait for more, but there WILL be more.

I hope you're right. I'm gonna stockpile them this time around lol.

Love that orange Davidson. Can you say a bit more about it? Is it a custom / one off? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! That is #1054. 3 9/16 closed, ats34. It was my first custom and yes, he made it for me specific to my request. I had it made in orange g10 so I wouldn't lose it when dropped in the woods (as 5k said lol) and the g10 is near indestructible. It's been dropped, it's dinged, scratched and used, but it's reliable. The walk and talk is more like song and dance!





And the original from Todd. She's been with me through a lot.

 

[TheChunk91]

That's a special knife SVT. The shield is very interesting, it almost looks like a woman's dress.

That's typically referred to as a corset shield.

Took these 2 with me today to the YMCA and then to coffee with our friends . Seldom carry them together but really like the contrast of the two .One I use a lot and the other I never use . ( Re-cycled pictures )

I've also heard it called breastplate and sowbelly shields. Not sure why the last one. It is one of my favorites. And Todd accentuates the waist area also which really makes it stand out to me. Double bomb is my second fav. Lol

Man I love that deep red jigged bone on the bottom one.

Thank you very much Jake . That is the one that I have never used but just carried a few times.

Hope you feel better soon and can start enjoying food again, Ron. That spearpoint ebony TC looks like it could definitely have effective medicinal powers!

Canoe of the Week is a Rough Rider with ram's horn bone covers:

- GT

Thank you Gary That Rams Horn is a terrific looking knife my friend! :thumbup:

Bob - That Red Bone is looking good buddy!

Jeff - That Eureka Jack is a beautiful knife. Love that modded Clip blade! :thumbup:

Harry - The only thing better than one 77 is two 77's! :thumbup:

I only have the one today, but I like it a lot!!!

Harry

Those are glorious examples.

 

[5K Qs]

Yeah, the Marbles are real horn and come in several patterns. Here is the sowbelly.

That's a sweet sowbelly, Jeff! Model MR359? I need another stockman like I need a hole in my head, but it IS a sowbelly, and ram's horn!

I guess I just read too fast . It still looks good though .
The real Stuff does look better yet .

Harry

Thanks, Harry. I'm VERY happy with both those canoes.

Thanks for the kind words GT. The blue sleeveboard is a 79 workhorse, got it in a trade recently and I love it. Think of it as a more pocket friendly sunfish of sorts, it excels at its namesake. No bias on the chestnut sodbuster, they are just fantastic. Few knives have such magnificent bone that are currently produced. Your rams horn marbles is mighty fine.

By the way you made me look up meritorious

Toting this beautiful workhorse again

Thanks for the kind words, Paul. I've admired the Workhorse Whittlers, but I don't think I've ever noticed the 2-blade version before; that big spear, small sheepsfoot blade combo is ideal! I hope "meritorious" means what I thought it did.

Thanks pal, it seems to be a feature of modern life unfortunately, my friend, his missus, and their 3 young kids all had it a few weeks ago, felt really sorry for them. I'm feeling a bit like The Creature From the Black Lagoon right now! :thumbuup:
...
Nice line-up GT :thumbup:

I got an RR Trapper in the 'Ramshorn Bone', and thought they did an excellent job of it. The real stuff looks great on your Marbles Canoe GT :thumbup:
...
Reminded of this one yesterday, by a post in the non US thread, I've slipped this wee Ohta friction folder into my pocket today :thumbup:

High-class higonokami, Jack! Thanks for the compliments.

That's a dreamy knife!

I'm loving the ram's horn, guys. I wish we'd see more of this on GEC/Queen/SM knives.

Thanks, WK.

Power couple, Alan!

Jack, I hope you're feeling better soon.

I've had this one for a few weeks but only this morning had a chance to put it to the stones. Still some work to do, but the main is plenty sharp to earn it its inaugural carry today.

Hey, welcome back, Greg! That's a fine Craftsman for a fine craftsman.

...
A pair of stags for me today.

As usual, you have super stag, Gary!

...

Holy Mother of Pearl, Gev! That pearl and ebony combo is sophisticated!

A Whittler came knocking, had to let him in.

Congrats on another stunning Black Box Winchester, Will!

Fabulous knife, Bob; that's red bone to write home about!

Thanks GT! The day I see you post a fixed blade I will consider it a victory for the dark side . Happy hunting for your barlow, that is half the fun. (I might be able to help you out there, I'll check over the weekend )

Never seen an Imperial like that, cool knife . Love the blue pruner too :thumbup:
...
Some electric blue with me today.

That blue Farmer is a stunner, Tom! Thanks for the favorable comments on my knives this week. Believe it or not, I'm seriously considering picking up a puukko or a least a Mora in the next couple of weeks. Don't think I'll actually carry it, but I could see sitting on the back patio on a nice summer evening with a sharp fixed blade and a stick that needs transformation!

Have my Boker 494 Barlow and Case natural bone mini Copperhead with me today.

Both of those are very covetable knives, Randy!

...
On the trail today.

Definitely a Trail Commander, Dean!

...
This came in the mail today and I really like it. Will pair it with the blue Workhorse like Paul's carrying today for my carry tomorrow

Congrats on the red Robeson, Paul. If you're going to carry that red and a blue Workhorse, do you have a white knife you could add to make it Flag Day in March?

... The walk and talk is more like song and dance!
...

What a fantastic phrase, Joey! I'll admit right now that I'm gonna steal that from you sometime and use it to describe some knife of mine! :thumbup:

Simple and simply awesome, YS!

Lovely pair of Northfield Barlows, Harry!

Peanutish Knife for me this week is a Taylor-Schrade 72OT:

This Sanrenmu is on my keys this week. Its packaging promises great things, I think.

- GT

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Ron, that's a beautifully designed clip on your #77. Long pull behind the cut swedge is always a winner for me. And match strike to boot! :thumbup:

MR359 is correct, GT, it's a very nice pattern, and they have lot's of handle variations in it.

Whoa! That's a beauty!

Nice WhittlinAway! I like that.

 

[Old Engineer]

Thank you Gary

Harry - The only thing better than one 77 is two 77's! :thumbup:

Thanks Ron , but that is not quite true . It should be " The only things better than one 77 is 2 or more 77's " .

Also thank you TheChunk91 .and GT !!!

Harry

 

[Old Engineer]

thefrank, that's a super pic of some really fine kit!

bonzodog, that Mason is just wonderful!

Great pic, Buzzbait!

A pair of stags for me today.

Very nice Stag Gary !!!
