What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I had the BFC GEC Stag Jack in my pocket all day today. The Fletcher Carniboro Cleaver is one of the best kitchen tools I have and although it's not pocket-able it is used every day so it may not be an edc in the traditional sense it's the edu (every day use) knife I go to most.

These two for the rough start to the night at work. Although, the LBW collab is off to case. The main blade is off center touching off the clip, and the clip is slightly off and maybe touching the liner. And that's not acceptable for the price IMO. So enjoying it one last night before in the box she goes.

I like it so far, perfect size for pocket knives. Might be a little small for larger fixed blades. I got it for a really good price and wanted to try out the brand before buying a bigger one from them. It definitely puts a nice finishing edge on the blade. Will be nice for touch up sharpening.

Thanks for sharing your observations, and I'm glad to hear you got it for a good price :) They're kind of expensive here, but I have thought of getting one, looks like a handy piece of kit :thumbsup:

Thanks for jogging my memory, Chin. Seeing that oxhorn in a different light made all the difference! :cool::thumbsup: Jack Black has an oxhorn that, since I first saw a photo of it, just takes my breath away, and I recall that he considers yours even more striking than his!! :eek::thumbsup::thumbsup:

...

I always enjoy your knives near water pics, Jack, and these photos of your "red buffalo horn" and doctor's knife are no exception! :cool::thumbsup: I don't think I've ever seen a waxed cap; that sounds quite useful! My pruner wasn't so much an intentional kitchen choice as it was slavishly following my "system". My kitchen knives for the week are simply my "big" knife and my "euro" knife from the previous week. The "big" knives are typically at least 4 inches long, closed, and hence have a long blade that usually comes in handy in food prep. But the current edition of my rotation schedule contains the pruner for the first time, and it naturally appeared in the category of "big" knife, ergo, it gets assigned kitchen duty the week after I carry it! :rolleyes:

Several oxhorn Lambsfoot knives have passed through my hands, and they have all had better horn than my own :)

Thanks GT, you're very kind :) The waxed cap sheds rain quite well. Thanks for the further explanation of your system my friend ;) :thumbsup:

Opened up the drawer today intending to grab a TC and this one refused to be ignored. Every time I take it out its like I am holding it for the first time again =)

Just got this Utica Cattle knife. It was in pretty rough shape but I got cleaned up and sharpened. I had to tighten the pivot a bit on the blade side and the spey blade had a small chip that I was able to get rid of. Has pretty good snap on the main blade and punch but the spey blade is a bit lazy. The main blade has lost some length due to sharpening but plenty of steel left.

Cool old knife

Very cool old knife!
 
Carrying this little Sodbuster that I just picked up. Simple, sturdy and not bad looking - seems like a good "grab 'n go" knife for most any task I'm liable to encounter. Good choice when not trying to make some kind of statement with the knife I carry. Or maybe simplicity IS the statement. Either way, I like this little knife.

What's not to like! Nice knife, nice pic! I like the shadow patterns and that jigged bone looks really nice.
 
The Case Sodbuster Jr is one of their best patterns and scale/cover combos, they thinned them down in profile and with them bein' less chunky I find myself throwin' it in my pocket more often these days because it just works. Add a Swayback jack and you have a unbeatable pair or traditional blades.

Here's a quick pic I just took of my pair, I have to work on my dryer today so I think I'll throw them in my pocket in case I need to strip some wire or something, :)

ETA, I changed the pic out for one in better focus.
