What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[W.M.B.]

After a brief back and forth with Bob yesterday, I realized I better smell the roses and come post here every now and again.


What a beaut!



You sure do have an eye for superbly dyed bone.

And those anchor knives always make me want my own "Popeye" knife.


Here's my awfully homely carry for the day

You have a different take on"homely" from the way I use that word. That knife is a knock out.

This one got the pocket time today. I spent most of the day wrenching on my 59 Plymouth so the 47 really didn't see any use but it had a full day in the pocket. It gets to help hold my beer up at least.

I've been carrying my new Navy Knife for the past few days. I'm very pleasantly surprised at how much I like it. I thought the bail would be a pain, but I've become quite amphibious...I mean ambivalent towards it.

Hey Marty, I have two questions for you...
1. Is that a Sodbuster Jr in Whiskey bone handles?
2. Was any filter used for this photo?

I've been wanting a Sodbuster jr, and have been trying to decide between Whiskey bone and burnt salmon handles. This photo may have tipped the scales...

Some day I will finally score a nice Koller lock back Whittler!

Beautiful.

Nice knives posted today everyone. A long day but a very nice arrival today. My second custom from Ian Vanreenen

I was very pleased with my black Micarta Zulu so when I saw this style and color combo I was quick to act. The covers may not appeal to all but they're one of my favorite combos

I will be sure to let you know if I see one and the best of luck on your hunt, Joe.

Yes that is a Sodbuster Jr CV in Whiskey bone handles. The photo was brightened just a small amount but I did not adjust the saturation.
Being thinner than the Delrin versions it carries great in the pocket. On looks, I love how the patina on the blade is starting to match the shield.
Note: I did have the dealer pull out three or four boxes till I found one that the fit and finish was acceptable.

Another shot

What's not to love Paul? Beautiful piece, I'd carry it for sure. I've taken to the Micarta bolsters and covers.

Absolutely gorgeous Gary.

Do y'all realize this thread has broken 100k replies now?

Very, very very nice!!!

They sure appeal to me!! Black and orange are just great together. Love the acorn too! All around a great piece! What steel?

Sunny and over 100 degrees today, the beer scout may prove handy later this afternoon.

[5K Qs]

Then how do you eat grapes? With your hands like a savage?!?

I eat my grapes sliced in half, in a very civilized manner, and mixed into my oatmeal.

Thanks GT. It an UN X LD 13 American Whittler in African blackwood.
...
Mine the last few days, TA Davison 892. Linerless, 1/16" thick blade, burgundy Micarta, acid washed ATS34. It's incredibly light, and slices like a razor. It came up on the Exchange last week. I deliberated, since it's a bit of a 'plain jane' for Todd's work. But, the price was right (comparatively speaking) and I like to use my knives, so figured this was a good one to start with. I'm not disappointed. (There's two firsts here, my first Micarta too.)

Thanks for the technical term for your #13 whittler, Tom, and congrats on your Davison!! I always examine my new acquisitions closely, but you seem to be taking the initial inspection to a whole new microscopic level!

Very cool photo: knice knoir knife!

Thanks pal, I always enjoy seeing your Winchester
...
These two for me today

...

Thanks, Jack; my Winchester asked me to pass on that it enjoys seeing you and yours!
Some dignified dark wood you had for Wooden Wednesday!
I hope you had a good day in York, and didn't get into trouble impersonating a physician!

Fightn Rooster

It's been too long since we've seen that glorious 2-blade toothpick!! Thanks for bringing out the Fighting Rooster, Gev!

Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett OVB barlow...

Your very best is far more than satisfactory, Atiger!!

NICE fixed blade GT! That looks like a fantastic whittling knife. Insert evil laugh here _______.
...
That electrician is dripping with character too

A city knife and a radio jack today, on the rocks as it were .

Your daily double looks fabulous on the rocks, Tom! Are the rocks reproducing? There seem to be more each day. Thanks for the compliment on my Holub, and "thanks" for rubbing in my plunge into the dark side! Be assured that I've already declared a MORAtorium on the purchase of fixed blades!

I know it's "Wooden Wednesday", but I'm having "Synthetic Week"

Unreal! (Is that a synonym for "synthetic"? )

this one today

Ankermessers aweigh, oldtymer!

... Today it's the Kutmaster Coca Cola Jack Knife and maybe the Russ lock with my initials carved into the yellow Delrin scales.

That Coca Cola knife is exceptional, Ted!

Thanks Gary!
Yes & Yes.

The great cutlery continues.....

One more question about that rust red jigged bone White Owl, Dee: is it numbered 682211, released on December 19, 2011??

Desert Ironwood without appearing to be desert ironwood.
Dare to be different.

Divinely different, Dee! (Do you always buy knives in identical pairs, or are you using some kind of CGI wizardry to show both sides of the same knife in many of your photos??)
