What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[AShearer]

That knife is beautiful Mr. Alan!!!

Thank you @Pt-Luso I love it.

 

[AShearer]

A change up for today, just because. About the same size, just a different approach. Queen liner lock tear drop and the venerable Douk-Douk.

Refreshing change Alan. Thank you!

Just picked this Boker up over the weekend. Not sure how old it is, but it is very solid with good snap and a lot of life left. I consider a good buy for $20. I see these don't go for much on eBay but the quality seems solid.

 

[Jack Black]

Nice choices, Jack. I hope you don't need to use that whistle today!

...

Thanks Gary, those are two outstanding knives my friend, and that's a great composition I have a wee anvil on my own desk, but it's not as nice as yours I found myself thinking of you when I was in York today, as I always do

 

[joeradza]

Thanks Alan.
@Peregrin
Gary, there have been so many threads on Queen's lack of QC. It's unfortunate because based on this tear drop they don't have to take a backseat to anyone in the manufacture of traditional knives.

 

[AShearer]

Out and about with these today.

Nice Tom! I look forward to those pairs shots, although I don't have any fixed blades...yet, I guess?

 

[AShearer]

Alan, I love Todd's special touches. Great looking knife!

With me today.

Wonderful shot Gary! Looks like some stropping is about to happen? Thanks for the comment on the Davison. I had to convince Todd to make that striper for me. The way he builds the bolsters and strips of micarta, steel is very tedious.

Thanks Alan, I like the "yet" part of that sentence. Btw it is a known fact that carrying a fixed blade makes you younger

It's Yorkshire Day here tomorrow - well everywhere I guess! So I'll be out celebrating, accompanied by these two

 

[RDaneel]

Thanks Dean!

Classy 13.

And thank you, Dee!

Happy Yorkshire Day, Jack! Fine knives to celebrate the day with.

It sounds like a serious holiday!

Testing out a belt sheath with my Camillus TL-29 today.

Congrats on choosing that belt sheath from "The Box", Shawn!

Thanks Gary!

Maybe I should have asked him to stop bugging me?

Wow, great looking covers!

Mark

Thanks for the compliment on my horn Joker that my daughter gave me.

A couple of Case's today. The stockman is new.

Congrats on the classic yellow stockman, TMike!

I must be getting forgetful! I have been on and off here several times today and I just realized I haven't shared what has been in my pocket today.

Vibrant Viper in an interesting setting, Ron!

How could you forget such a stunning piece? I'd be fondling it all day if I had it, kinda like I do with this R Cover Sr. Drop Point.
...

Very classy snakewood drop point, Ted!!!

Thanks for the compliment GT, and for the feast of photography Some of my favourites there, and I particularly like this one of your Colt Canoe. Hope you and your family have a great vacation

These two for me today

Thanks for the kind words, Jack. I always look forward to the change of pace our vacation provides.
Great pair for you, especially that robust lambsfoot!

...
Sounds like a great tasting stew.

Tomatoes to the rescue!

Thanks, Dee.

Intriguing pair, Alan. Did you "sandblast" your Douk-Douk?

Today: day two of the switch.

Distinctive Davison, Alan; the blue stripes definitely work, and I'd never noticed the unusual shield before!

I bought this off of the exchange last week still has the factory oil on it but I just couldn't resist sticking it my pocket this morning. I did however put it in one of my slips.

Congrats on that BF Drover, Randy! Appealing knife!

Nice Salamandra, Jeff. I have to go to your knives from Spain thread and watch the rest of the videos; great job on those!

Simple, but highly effective, Josh; IMHO, that's what a jack knife should look like!!

Great vacation pics GT, I especially like these two

I had a yellow CV sodbuster I gave to a cousin, so I am looking at 2 opposite ends of the spectrum for this one: either an orange synthetic with stainless steel or an amber jigged bone in CV.
...
Out and about with these today.

Thanks for highlighting a couple of my pics from past vacations, Tom.
I hope you can find the sodbuster you want. I think (but I could easily be wrong) that the only bone versions Case offers with CV are the chestnut jigged and pocket-worn whiskey bone.
Great photo of your unique new fixed blade with the famed blue Farmer!

Noteworthy Western, Steve! (I've never handled/seen a Western pocket knife "in the flesh"!)

It's Yorkshire Day here tomorrow - well everywhere I guess! So I'll be out celebrating, accompanied by these two

Happy Yorkshire Day, Jack; that certainly looks like a celebratory couple of knives you've selected!

My Alox knife for this week is a Cadet II (thanks, Ken):

My "big" knife this week is an Imperial small sodbuster; not sure why I classified this as "big", since that usually is reserved for knives at least 4" closed :

My "miscellaneous" knife this week is a buffalo horn GEC #85 with EO notch and coping secondary mods (thanks, Paul):

Funny you say that, I feel like I have seen more likes on a plain jane 14 boys knife then all of my other sought after SFOs.

 

[Will Power]

Nice Opinel and Brambles. No snakes or slow worms slithering about there then?

More like sandpaper Gary. It was a standard black handled D-D that started chipping so I just took some rough sandpaper to it and now it's "mine."

Thanks Will and yes, there were snakes in abundance.

 

[Will Power]

Is it venomous? Those old bramble twigs with their thorns can certainly bite Opinel Gardener looks to have a comfortable handle, not unlike their fillet knife which I use in the kitchen as an excellent folding knife for food prep.

Thanks, Will
