What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r8shell]

Paul that's a great pattern and a beautiful knife my friend! Unfortunately from my limited experience with Queen products, thick edges are quite common.



Jack that is a fine pair from W Rodgers to spend the day with. That Lamb Foot is a jewel!

Wishing everyone a fine weekend! Today I'm carrying two that are special to me! I bought the 1972 Case Stockman new in 1973. I carried it as my daily knife for probably at least 25 years. I gifted it to my Father for helping me with a project in my home! After my Mother had passed in July 2009 and my Dad had advanced problems with Alzheimer's Pam and I were staying nights with him in his home. I discovered the knife tucked away in one of his many tool boxes. He had managed to break the Spey blade. I showed it to him and asked his permission to take back possession. I will never forget his response as long as I live! "Take care of that knife, my oldest son gave it to me!" He passed in December 2009. I sent the knife back to the good people at Case and they replaced the Spey and gave it a good sharpening. The Stag teardrop is a past Fathers Day gift from my Daughter!

Those are indeed special knives, Ron.

Fantastic stag, Bob.

And now, for something completely different!

 

[Half/Stop]

Two special ones Ron.
Due to another trade, I have a Stagurday carry today.

Congratulations on that beautiful Stag 76 Bob! I only have one 76, also a Stag. I bought it from Christine the very first time Pam and I ever walked into the sales room at Great Eastern! The next time we talk I will be interested in hearing your comments on the pattern.

Those are indeed special knives, Ron.

Fantastic stag, Bob.

And now, for something completely different!

Thanks Rachel! That Kent is a fine looking Jack Knife. I don't have my reading glasses with me today so I must ask. Is the Stag real or man made? Regardless it's a great ole knife!

Thanks, Ron. Kent knives were made by Camillus for Woolworth's (1931-1955). Very cheap knives, not only are the "stag" handles man-made, they are a thick, molded or pressed form of celluloid. This may be why you don't see many around these days.

That's a cool Kent, Gev. Is it the same material with black coating?
I just put an edge on mine and the steel felt pretty soft, so I'll see how the edge holds up if I can find something to cut today.

I'm guessing it is quite similar. The steel on mine is wonderful and takes and keeps a fine edge.

Been enjoying the 48 IT in African Blackwood. I liked the Bloodwood one, ended up with two and gave one to a friend. Got an extra of these also, it's one of my favorites.

Will repeat for next 8 days of vacation! (Unless I find a treasure).
