What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Spending the day with my daughter and waiting for our new Napoleon Havelock stove to be installed. I asked for a very specific stove(Quadrafire Hudson Bay) in our Buy-sell agreement, and they installed a cheapy, so now the real estate agent gets to pay for the $4000 stove. She was embarrassed to say the least.

Beautiful morning here, this trapper by Joel Chamblin is in my pocket, CPM 154 and some nice mammoth ivory,

Thanks and I totally agree with you! :thumbsup:



Thanks Jack! :thumbsup:



Thank you Gary! It's always appreciated my friend. :)



Bob, that is such a sweetheart!!! Pure classic! :thumbsup::cool::D

Today I have this Ebony Wrights Lambsfoot from one of Mr. Jack Blacks generous GAW's. I can't thank you enough every time I pocket this Ebony beauty! :)

That ebony is rather striking, inky black and gorgeous. Beautiful knife.

Carrying these two today (hope they're showing), my A.Wright Lambsfoot in golden oxhorn, and my trusty Abbeydale Jack :) :thumbsup:




That horn reminds me of the one @flatblackcapo posted the other day, both beautiful examples of horn covers. I love your Abbeydale too!

Both you guys have started my day off with some excellent lambsfoot blades, thank you! It is my hope that this coming month will see me officially inducted into the Guardians. Definitely looking forward to experiencing the pattern soon.

With me today is this Camillus duo. A great pair of working knives.

Thanks a lot Dylan, it's the same golden oxhorn, but I think Kevin's is nicer than mine :) Looking forward to you joining the Guardians my friend, and can't wait to hear what you think of the Lambsfoot pattern :) That's a great pic of a beautiful pair of knives :thumbsup:
 
Carried the CS Eric's Jack yesterday and today.

Apparently I can't show the pics because Photobucket has changed their terms of service.

This is just a sweet little knife all around. Gorgeous evenly thick stag, great snap, great fit and finish.

Very auspicious, Tim! :thumbsup: Ancient, but not old. ;)

Still carrying this one every day. Been experimenting with sharpening and keeping the edge happy and it seems a toothier/courser edge is the way to go so far!


Matt
Brilliant knife, Matt, with bodacious bone!! :cool::thumbsup:

...
Your Boker Electrician's Knife has clearly been treated more kindly than Barker here! :eek: :thumbsup:


...
I'd agree that your Böker electrician shows more wear than mine, Jack, but yours may have been used at the fairly modern and well-known website Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB), according to the partially-completed initials on the mark side cover! :D

...
That is a terrific trio GT :thumbsup:


Some green ALOX today.

Thanks, Tom. That green Alox is very summery! :cool::thumbsup:

...
I am carrying this beauty today, though I am still somewhat loath to use it. It will happen... And then the worrying will end. Working at a desk tends to make cutting tasks somewhat few and far between though. :rolleyes:

Commendable crimson equal-end knife, Dylan!! :cool::cool: I can certainly relate to your comment concerning the lack of cutting chances while at a desk job.

Out of the Garden (series)

I woke up to the Tomato worms and my only, just ripe, Mortgage Reduction (large tomato magnificence ) destroyed by some large animal. Oh the pain of the gardener :(:rolleyes:

I guess since my back ( think dagger jab in spine...is life over? ) is on the mend ( knock on wood..praise ice and chiropractor(s) )....it's a wash :D

Today's meager harvest but harvested with joy and a peaceful mind

35614105875_e3afa78e9a_b.jpg
Handsome harvest, Gev! Are the green peppers hot? They look like some we've grown that are very mild sans seeds, but the seeds make them pretty much 5-alarm fire pods! :eek: Sorry to hear that you lost one of your big prize tomatoes, and even sorrier to hear that you've been enduring back pain. :( Glad it's on the mend. :thumbsup:

These today :...
Edit : I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE FROM PHOTOBUCKET
Harry
Harry, I remember seeing your Barlows yesterday, but today they're gone. Schrade and Case, I think? I remember that I definitely admired them both! :cool::thumbsup: I'm no lawyer, and I'm sure there's no such thing as an implicit agreement that has legal status, but Photobucket's policy change sure feels like a "breach of contract" from a user's standpoint! :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Thanks Jack and Dean. It does in fact Dean.

Bob, that spearpoint and its patina are sensational! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks Gary!
You are correct. :)

Have I told you I never tire of this one ^^^^^? :D
My fading memory doesn't recall if you told me that, Dee, but if you did, I share your opinion 100% (which is why I carry it EVERY day - it never "rotates" out of my pocket, even though I change most of my other knives weekly)! :D:thumbsup:

I packed this one into the hospital today.

I may use it in the morning to take a hostage and trade for coffee with caffiene in it;)
I gave up coffee/caffeine about 33 years ago, but I understand your sentiments, FOG2! :thumbsup::p

So classy and dignified, Ron! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I have a rosewood model that is quite a spectacular knife, IMHO, but the ebony covers add a substantial boost in class!

I've carried a GEC #14 for the past three days, with my Yellowheart TC sharing the load with this OD Micarta:

The single-blade 14s are such fantastic little knives! I always enjoy carrying them.
Looking good, Greg! :cool::cool: I've never handled a GEC #14; how small do they feel? You obviously are smitten with the single-blade models :thumbsup:, and don't agree with those who claim they're too thin without 2 blades. (Are any of the non-Barlows available with 2 blades?)

Thanks.
A small lake on the edge of the airport, this wooden platform is what remains of an old walk bridge.
Very engaging pic, and knife, Methuselah! :thumbsup::cool:

Carrying these two today (hope they're showing), my A.Wright Lambsfoot in golden oxhorn, and my trusty Abbeydale Jack :) :thumbsup:



Two of my favorites of yours, Jack!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I love the luxurious luminescent oxhorn lambsfoot - a real showstopper! :thumbsup::cool: And, echoing Mick Jagger, I can't get no (i.e., I can get some) satisfaction each time the Abbeydale Jack appears! :cool::thumbsup:

Today a Portuguese knive...

se90kx.jpg
Fantastic Portuguese knife, Pt-Luso! :cool::cool: Friction folder, or does it have a backspring?

79 Workhorse is with me today....

Edit: well I guess I'm done with Photobucket. After months of increasing their annoying pop-up ads, they are extorting money or all of your pictures can not be shared.
WAY less than ideal situation, Travman. :thumbsdown::mad: I've never used Photobucket but I can imagine at least some of the frustration that many of the long-time users must feel!

Something about the roundness of those Queen Barlow bolsters that really resonates with me; splendid knife, Ironbut! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Charismatic couple of Camilli, Dylan! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Exemplary equal-end jack, VH! :cool::thumbsup:

Carrying a brand new Dowell dogleg in dark brown burlap micarta over white g10 liners with Carpenter XHP steel.

Congrats on the dazzling new Dowell, balor; that shield is special!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here are more knives from my pockets this week.
Euro knife of the week is a 4.5" Joker that showed up in the Wooden Wednesday thread earlier this week:

I think they would come back if I agreed to pay $3.99 per month , but I feel like I am being blackmailed by Photobucket . I have never put up with that kind of stuff . It is not much money , but it is just the feeling of it. I will try Imgur for a little while .
