What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[5K Qs]

Thanks for the kind remarks GT !!!!
Yes !!! The ZERO indicates that it is a Wharncliffe Blade .

Harry

Thanks for the confirmation, Harry. Slowly but surely I'm retaining some knife information.

5K Qs thanks for the compliment on the Lloyd. It's my least expensive custom but my favorite and most carried/used. I cannot remember who said "John Lloyd knives got soul" or I would quote their comment in my sig.
This one quickly took hold of me.

I only know what I see in pictures here, but John Lloyd does stag in a manner that certainly suits my preferences!!

Looking good there GT! I'm sorry if I gave you a start! I do now remember that I posted that in the Davison thread. So, I think I have found my mind again
Thanks for straightening me out my friend

Glad to be of assistance, Alan.

10 am ...ac not cooling..temperature climbing...angst rising ...hammer man...

youtube university...ants and ac contactors..temperature stabilizing

and i think its gonna be a long long time
till touch down brings me around to find
I'm not the man I thought I was at home
Oh no no no
I'm the hammer man

not burning up his fuse alone
it's cold as ice

Very desirable bolster stamp, Gev!

...
When I got home I loaded up my 2014 Stag Jack for some pocket time in town.
...

Those 2014 Forum knives were winners, and a bunch seem to be appearing here recently. Yours is sensational, Ron!

Carried both of these today : Re-cycled pictures

...
Harry

Outstanding, Harry! Double your stag, double your fun!!

Some Calf Roping today...
...

That's a quality quartet, 007hunter!

Carrying this pretty but troublesome dark beauty.

Looking good, FBC!! "Pretty but troublesome" - isn't that how it almost always goes??

The more I see that A Wright Lambs foot the more in love with it I'm gettin'. I was never fond of wood scales on traditional patterns, I like horn/stag, bone and plastic(celluloid) but that ebony with the silver hardware is perfect. I like the rat tail bolsters on most but the understated, bare bones materials were done and finished so well I could see it becomin' a common/workin' man's heirloom. Grandfather to grandson, fingered and pocket worn I'd love to see what character 30 years in a pocket would add to it. That one's gonna be make me smile every time I see it, thanks for sharin' @flatblackcapo and a great pic too. That's a wallpaper for the phone or tablet for sure.

I totally agree, Ted (although I'm a sucker for almost ANY black handles with silver accents). Like a woman with a "little black dress", a silver on black knife just looks dressed up, elegant , and sophisticated!

Yes and sharpened to a habenero shaving edge About 20 getting orange

Sounds tasty, Gev, but don't hurt yourself with those habaneros!

...
Thanks GT, you have some cool kitchenware this week my friend
...

Thanks, as always, for your supportive commentary, Jack!

Carrying these two today, Todd Davison and Joseph Haywood Have a great Sunday folks

Stunning pair, sir!

...
Thanks GT, I've been going through a bit of a SAK renaissance lately, in my 'back to basics' kick - so I examine your Swiss beauties closely to educate myself further on different models.

I quite like how many of the Porchfolk have a favoured knife pattern you can instantly identify with them. Somehow I knew you'd be a MiniChamp man. (Not forgetting your Canoe patterns of course!) Do you find a use for every blade on it?

That Lambsfoot was a kind gift from Charlie Waynorth, earlier this year. (It's taken a little tea dunking since then.) I had it with me this weekend.

And this Huntsman came in the post last week, coincidentally on the same day you posted yours.

...

Congrats on the Huntsman, Chin! I like that model a lot (although I'd prefer the Fieldmaster, which substitutes a Phillips driver for the corkscrew - I just haven't found a suitable preowned model yet ). Thanks for the info on that Lambsfoot, and it's interesting that you had me pegged for a Minichamp guy. I carry it every day, mostly because it maximizes available tools while minimizing weight and volume. I've used every blade, but many not often. In this pic, the tools deployed are the ones I probably use most often (including the pen peeking out).

Just a couple of Cases.

A couple of magnificent Cases they are!!

I picked this Boker Barlow up locally yesterday. This was the last one of this model, Grenadill Wood and 440C. There was several of the Bog Oak models available. I have made a futile attempt to curb my knife spending until the Rendezvous. Oh well at least I had good intentions!

Congrats on the elegant Böker Barlow, Ron! (See my comment on Ted's post above about the color scheme.) I have a new Böker baseball cap, so I'm gonna have to get serious about finding a knife or three of that brand!

Today's carry :
...


Harry

I like your matched pair, Harry! I've never developed an appreciation for that light colored oiled bone myself, but lots of folks really enjoy it, and I'm happy for them!

Classic and classy, P&G! I'm a sucker for those EO spear/pen teardrop patterns!

Another distinguished example of the beauty of a silver and black knife!!

I own a couple single blades on the #14 frame and wanted to try a two blade. This BEAUTIFUL oily bone presented itself in the exchange and I had to have it (thanks Dennis)

Just a lot of knife in a smaller frame, I do like this little knife.
...

Congrats on your new "little big knife", Paul!

I carry a MiniChamp on my keyring too. This should probably go in the "Did your traditional get a workout today?" thread, but:

On Friday, I was at breakfast with some folks, and the little screw and a lens fell out of one fellow's eyeglass frames. He was trying to fix it, and said, "Anyone have a knife?" The fellow I'd been comparing knives with and I put them back in our pockets as fast as we could. "You need a screwdriver." "I only need to use the tip of a knife." The Minichamp saved the day when I managed to fit the tip of the philip's head/bottle opener tool into the teeny tiny screw head and get the lens back in.

I can understand anyone not really liking the Smooth Oiled Bone covers . I guess that I did not care for them too much until I bought the 77 Barlow one just because I did not have those Covers on any 77 Barlow yet . Once I got it in my hands , my opinion changed immediately . GEC does a very good job with them .

Yup, I use that same screwdriver on my Rambler to fix my daughters glasses all the time. That and I can still use it for far larger screws also.

The knife was a kind gift from Brumby53 that he restored from an old I.XL Barlow, I don't know the vintage.

The covers are some Gidgee wood, very hard and hard to find, which he collected from a dead Gidgee tree on his trip to the middle of a desert in Australia some 30 years ago. He reshaped the blade from Coping to a Sheepsfoot and semi-polished it. A small project left for me to finish off to a mirror polish. He even replaced the brass liners with new ones.

Thanks for the info That's a very generous gift I was intrigued by your pic (moved it forward - below) because only the bolsters looked to be original, both the blade and frame appear to be new

Stunning pair, sir!

Thanks a lot my friend, hope you have a good week

I'm sneaking off work to go for a hike today, thought I'd take advantage of the good weather we're having Carrying these two, A.Wright Lambsfoot and a Dutch Army Knife

Case 6347 Stockman today - Amber Jigged Bone, stainless steel blades.

 

[007hunter]

This one with me today...77 green pinecone jigged bone.

 

[Atiger]

How about a Wostenholm I*XL barlow with saw-cut bone handles today...

An 85 year old man named Little Foot made these Arrowheads in Wyoming just 2 weeks ago. A dying art.

 

[arizonaranchman]

On a road trip to Illinois on the Harley. Had some rain in Arizona and New Mexico. Not too bad though.

The sheepfoot AB 77 Barlow and yellow Peanut are my companions for this 2+ week odyssey.

 

[Whetstone39]

Thanks, Tom. Don't use your clever poetry to lure me over to the fixed blade dark side! Very cool pair of knives you have today, but I have to confess that the stones are just as cool!! Didn't David the shepherd boy grab 5 smooth stones from a stream as he went to fight the giant Goliath? Are those the actual stones?!?




Here are two knives that have been assigned to kitchen duty this week.
Rough Rider Half Hawk:

- GT

Thanks GT! Unless those stones somehow made it to a local hobby store, probably not . Someday I'll see you post a fixed blade, then the victory for the dark side will be complete. LOVE the shield on the RR

I'm sneaking off work to go for a hike today, thought I'd take advantage of the good weather we're having Carrying these two, A.Wright Lambsfoot and a Dutch Army Knife

Great pairing today Jack, the Dutch Army Knife is super cool

I have these two with me today, I had to "trade" my girlfriend an orchid colored pioneer to get my orange version back, but it worked and we may have a new knife nut emerging .
