What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Thanks Jack, they are very good . I usually just let the patina form naturally over time, but this one is forming only where I pinch it open, and it hasn't cut any food until today. Gorgeous white covers on the William Rodgers

So this is my strawberry-sangria-patina experiment, 15 minutes like this:



And it created this:



A little darker in spots than I was aiming for and I think I missed a few areas, but I kinda like it. 4 passes using a leather belt on a power strop and it takes off arm hair again with ease .

Thanks my friend, your Joker is looking good

As always, a pair worth studying from you, Jack!

Thanks GT, nice show of horns

Great-looking TC Ron

These two today.

Nice to see your Scout Tom

View attachment 728727 77 smooth autumn gold bone for today

That's some lovely bone

Got this little EDC sized fixed blade in the mail this morning so it's in the pocket with my SBJ.

Congratulations, great lines

If I ever do get tired of carrying the red Jigged bone clip, I will probably switch to this T.A. Davison I ordered as made.

They both look fantastic Alan

Lovely stuff Gev

Cool pic Bob

Good stuff Paul

This one just arrived yesterday. The posted specs didn't raise any alarms; but it's sort of a beast. Overall larger than I anticipated, and it weighed in at 3.5 oz.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm beginning to really lust after alabone.

I'm not sure why, but that statement got me to thinking, and I looked up the specs on the hat. That only weighs 3.2 oz.

Not often you post a folder and a fixed about the same size Kris. Hope you have a wonderful 4th in your new place.

This is true, Sean makes a great knife and the Sparrow is a perfect size. Gary(Peregrin) has one too. Thanks Alan, I hope you enjoying the day.

What a great way to observe the day Kris! Happy 4th to you and yours, including the pigs

Thanks Alan, have a great day yourself.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm beginning to really lust after alabone.

It does have a unique look to it. This is Paua select from Culpeppers, it has the widest strips that I have found but comes at a premium. Can't remember what I paid for the paua, but I think it was around $135.

I'm with my son at a Boy Scout camp. I don't want to carry anything too valuable.

That picture looks like a 1983 vintage Volkswagen GTI. I had a red one and loved it - wish I had it today. Great little pocket rocket VW!

'84, but same as yours. Only 90hp here (110hp across the pond if I recall correctly), but what fun to drive. That car, which had unassisted rack and pinion steering, had the best steering feedback of any car I've driven. That was the first of 3 GTIs (the other two being MkII and MkV), but was the one I liked best.

We had an '84 Jetta Turbo Diesel, when the turbo kicked in it looked like a mosquito sprayer....it was a great handling car though.

Because I've been using his Paracord lanyard for something like ten years now, I declare this to be "Tethered Tuesday". Here is my Camillus C4 attached to the lanyard.
