What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

@Peregrin
Always good to see the little beauty, Gary.

When I was a kid I had some kind of liner lock that looked a lot like this but with a swedge, I don't know who made it or anything as it was a gift but I'm sure it wasn't the quality of a moki.
This moki is such a nice and simple looking knife, and I'm sure it's nice to use as well.

Was it a Kershaw Crown? Kind of sounds like what you're describing.

I have been at home today and not really Totin in the true meaning of the term. As a result I have spent a lot of time with this #13 Rust Red Whittler. I have been admiring the fit and finish. The overall design and attention to details. But most of all, and certainly not for the first time, I have been totally impressed with the high levels of skill and craftsmanship that Bill and the good folks at Great Eastern Cutlery continue to exhibit time after time.

Welcome back, Dean! Superb example of a splendid pattern! Nothing wrong with posting the same knife repeatedly. You seem to prefer sticking with one knife for several days - a one-knife guy at heart?

Thanks, Gary! I do like carrying one knife for awhile as it gives me one less thing to think about when I need to cut something. When I carry a different one every day (and I have done that a lot), I always have to pause and think for a second about what I'm doing.

And some knives just demand that you spend time with them.

Dean I totally agree with your statement. And every time I see a 2015 Forum knife I wonder why I don't carry mine more often! Yours is a beautiful example and that's a great photo!

Nope, it pretty much looked just like this moki but with a swedge and thumb stud. It was also fairly small and slim, probably about 3.5" closed. It was most likely some cheapo and being a good design means it was probably a copy of something.

Zebrawood large stockman for the work week.

I'm carrying my Great Eastern Cutlery #38 - Tidioute - John Chapman - Dusk Jigged Bone. Feeling pretty good.

Today in my pocket

A day without a scout is like a day without sunshine.

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 .

Thanks Tom, your Pioneer looks good as new

This particular pocket knife is dam near my favorite on all of bladeforums. I really appreciate the all wood body. So might I ask what make and model is it please?

Thanks, Ron! It's amazing how long I just let it linger in a drawer. It is very pocketable for it's length.

It is the BladeForums forum knife from 2015. It was one of the last knives made Canal Street Cutlery before they closed.

Hot in ND today, peaked at 94° with high humidity. We stained three decks by 1:30pm with an early start to the day. The humidity is harder to deal with as the years add up.

Today screamed stainless so my Vanreenen answered the call

Thanks 5K Qs !!! Really enjoy your posts

Thanks on both compliments! I always appreciate your comments and your posts my friend! I hope you find some fine knives to go with your new Boker cap!

Thanks for the encouraging words, 007hunter and Ron! Ron, I've had some Bökers on my "wish list" for quite a while (e.g., beer barrel canoe, congress carver, Barlow), so it's just a question of priorities!

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.

3 cheers for the Minichamp! r8shell, it turns you into a superhero!

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 .

I know what you mean, Harry. I've had several "knife prejudices" dispelled when I actually got my hands on specific knives. This hobby has given me LOTS of surprises!

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

A silver and black pairing just oozes class, IMHO, Jack!!

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

That's a classic, John!

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

Sounds fantastic to me, Atiger! Where do I sign up??

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.

Have a safe and enjoyable journey, Jeff! You, your 77 Barlow, and your yellow Peanut are like the 3 Musketeers!

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

Yowza, that pair and the stones look GREAT in the light box, Tom!! Glad you got your orange Pioneer back; I think you can get scurvy if you go too long without one. Thanks for the comment of my Half Hawk acorn shield; it's really a phenomenal knife! Here, I'll give you your "dark side victory" right now :

This #66 arrived today from another forum member.......and it's going right in my pocket.View attachment 735898

Congrats on that fine 66, Ironbut!!

That's an exemplary knife, Ron! The rust red jigged bone is one of my favorite GEC bone covers/scales/ handles/handle materials!

Captivating pic, Dean! I certainly can recall some of your extended carry knives (Presidential, crimson TC Barlow, Calf-Roper Slim), and I hear what you're saying. The more I use a knife, the more I usually like it.

Charismatic Christmas tree, Randy!! 'Tis the Season!

Today in my pocket

Pt-Luso, is that a Frost Flying Falcon?? If so, I have that same model (with unmarked handle covers) on my office desk! I got mine at a pawn shop a few months ago.

tomsch, that Pioneer is certainly no lemon!!

Dee, you're certainly not under-knifed with that 54 on your person!!

Another week, another dozen knives in my pockets!
Alox of the Week is a silver Vic Cadet (thanks, Ken):

non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Wenger Esquire:

The 2017 will be out soon.... But I want to give a big hand to the 2016 BF knife. It is a great EDC. And quite a looker.

 

[Ramrodmb]

Nice Alox, GT! I really like how thin the cadet is!



I carried this, new to me, Boker today. Thanks so much, @willard0341 ! I couldn't be any more happy to use it! What great bone!
