What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[joeradza]

Ron, that OO is the first GEC I bought. But for some reason I wanted a real user to carry in Fl. for fishing, etc. now I can't wait to get it back home. It has turned out to be a great carry. However, I've said that before. Time will tell.

Yesterday was May the Fourth, today is Revenge of the Fifth.


Happy Cinco de Mayo!

1940-64 Case Sodbuster.

Cool old Sodbuster (and dog), Travman! That blade has given up some of its steel over the years.

Cheers my friend, yes, the lighting changes it quite a lot, as do my simple camera and poor photography technique. That photo is filtered, but the colour of the horn in the image is much the same as how it looks. Here's the photo again, compared to an unfiltered photo of the same knife (with my smaller A.Wright horn Lambsfoot)




...

Thanks for the detailed and fascinating reply, including comparison pics, to my question, Jack! The horn on that pair is certainly distinctive and memorable!

Old Friends Friday . My Ulster that I have had since 1961 and was my EDC until 2001 . Just packed it away to take Up the Rhine . Will be my carry for a while .

Admirable service record for that old soldier, Harry, and a remarkable ongoing relationship between you and your knife! Has the "unjigged" part of the bone always been so light in color, or did it used to be more brown like the "jigged" part and the color has worn away or faded on the higher surfaces?

Been away for a week and only carried a 73 user. I don't know if it was the pattern or the environment but it was a revelation to just grab it and drop it it in my pocket. Now that I'm home it's almost as if the decision is based on my photography.View attachment 704803

Cool photo, Alan, but I'd kind of like to see the "revelation" 73! Hope you enjoyed the time off, and welcome back!

Great knives everyone--between the end of the semester and the pinewood derby, I can't keep up with all the great pics! Have a great weekend everyone.

Did you recently post a pic of the derby car that was being whittled? I, for one, would appreciate seeing an update shot of the pinewood derby racer!

...
Thanks, Gary.
That is a great knife to carry for a week!

I have "True Crimson" in my pocket today.

Thanks for the Keen Kutter kompliment, Dean.
True Crimson looks as good as ever!
I'm actually considering naming one of my knives, a new one that my wife brought back from her trip with our daughter to the UK. (See below. )

Today is a 1978 Case pen knife. I took the photo of the side opposite of the shield, thought it had more character.

You sure have a lot of classic, photogenic knives, Marty!!

Friedrich Hartkopf Damascus Lockback was with me today

That's very appealing, unique damascus, Andi!

...
I'm heading out for a hike in the morning, going to be carrying these three Have a great weekend everyone

Hope the hike was filled with highlights, Jack! Off to an auspicious start just by selecting that trio to carry!

Gotta say it was a good day

Not exactly sure what I'm looking at, but that's a magnificent photo, COPPERJC!

...
Alan, I am away for the weekend and I can tell you for certain that there is absolutely nothing wrong with carrying a 73 user. This OO will be my knife companion throughout the weekend!

Always a treat to see that Osage Orange 73, Ron!

I had this old clip/pen Imperial toothpick scheduled for kitchen duty this week:

But it didn't get used much, because I became enamored with this A Wright & Son rosewood-handled lambsfoot my wife got for me in York, England (pictured with the fabled Henderson's Relish she also brought home from Yorkshire):

Gary, thank you for the compliment! You should definitely let your wife take more trips Gary! That is a couple of nice souvenirs. One will last a lifetime while the other, well, not nearly so long!

A fresh, made in the morning light of Middle Tennessee, photo of my OO #73 Scout. It is in my pocket for the rest of the weekend! I hope everyone from everywhere that hangs out here on the porch has a blessed weekend!

Ron. Don't know what that background is, but I like it. It makes a nice photo! Great looking knife too

Congratulations, GT! I believe you now qualify for membership in the Guardians of the Lambsfoot. Come on over and learn the secret handshake!

There's going to be some puttering around the house this weekend, maybe even some minor plumbing repair!
This calls for an electrician:

Good choice Rachel. If you can't find a plumber, an electrician is the next best thing? < I don't know what that means, but it sounded okay before I typed it?

Exactly! I'm not sure what blades a plumber knife should have. A sawbacked screwdriver like this one, plus a wrench and drain-snake?

That could work! I guess plumbers need a lot of wrenches too. Let's see if somebody posts one of those wrench knives?

Thanks Gary. It's due back Monday and I'll be posting it.

Great looking fixed blade, Jack. What is it?

Thanks Andi It's basically one of those 'Woodcraft'/'Woodlore'/''Bushcraft' clones. There's worse designs, but it irritates me that such a mediocre design has been copied so lazily, and so often. And the prices of some of those things will make your eyes water! Now this one was made by some feller, who bought an O1 'bushcraft knife' blade I guess. He did a fair job, and it turned up with a large haul of tools a pal of mine bought a couple of years back. He wouldn't take a penny more than £8 for it! It sharpened up well, and I carry it now and again

Jack, filtered or non they are outstanding my friend!!!

Thanks a lot Ron

Thanks for the detailed and fascinating reply, including comparison pics, to my question, Jack! The horn on that pair is certainly distinctive and memorable!

Thanks GT, I can't say that I was a particular fan of horn until I picked up the first of those

Hope the hike was filled with highlights, Jack! Off to an auspicious start just by selecting that trio to carry!

Thanks pal, the weather wasn't the best, but I certainly got some exercise!

About time the Lambsfoot was unveiled GT! Enamoured you should be! Great pic my friend, I hope you'll post it in the Guardians thread

You should definitely let your wife take more trips Gary!

Congratulations, GT! I believe you now qualify for membership in the Guardians of the Lambsfoot. Come on over and learn the secret handshake!

Great working knife r8shell Hope you get your puttering done

Er, actually...

It figures that Jack would come up with a plumbers' knife! Now, based on the placement of that apostrophe, that is a knife for "all plumbers" not just some "plumber's knife"

Jack--those horn covers are amazing
