What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[deltaboy]

Same as yesterday, I generally pull out what I will carry for the week on Sunday night and I carry those till Saturday when I do my Saber Saturday and pick of the day Sunday.

A lucky pawn shop find. I thought it was an older knife, since there's obviously lots of blade wear, but when I took it home and washed it, I noticed some of the red dye staining the towel. I've only experienced that on some new knives. I don't know how someone could use and sharpen a knife so much without the excess dye bleeding out.

Use lemon oil to set the dye, then let it dry for 24 hours. Won't hurt it, it's a trick a knife maker told me years ago. Works for most types of dyes.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I'll bet it'll make the knife smell nice, too.

That's pretty cool on the pile side. How do they describe it? Is the scoring natural or tooled?

Thank you! It was described as textured. Not sure if tooled or not?

 

[dispatch184]

Like your Ya Ya Knife Drew!



Errr...possibly?

Sorry, got it now!

Thank you Jack!

 

[Pàdruig]

Thank you again, Erik! This beauty is going to get a lot of pocket time.

Barrett at first I thought that Carvin was a LB76 but it has 1 too many control knobs what model is it? Beautiful bass though.

Thanks, Randy. I customized/ordered that bass from Carvin about 15 years ago -- which is to say it's been a while -- but I'm pretty sure it is an LB76 (unfortunately, it isn't marked anywhere on the bass itself, and the paperwork is filed away somewhere, but I'd say I'm about 94% sure ). They had (have?) so many different options for electronics, pickups, etc. that I'm pretty sure the number of control knobs varies.

Good looking Seahorse Whittler! I like the color of those covers/scales/handles/etc.!

Love that "Knife on Guitar" idea.

This is my contribution, a bit different though, something classy, non steel strings. A hand made Alhambra in late 90's and a hand made Laguiole in early 2000's.

Very nice! As a bass player first and (somewhat fat-fingered) guitar player second, I've always appreciated the string spacing on Spanish/classical guitars. I owned one for a while (nothing special), but traded it towards the Martin I have now (I got a killer deal on that guitar).

The Laguiole pairs nicely with that guitar!

Pair of Queens - Model 14 peanut (1961-1971) and Model 28 large farmer's knife (1932-1955).

Just got to get these sensational Queens shown again

They made Winterbottom like nobody else, really beautiful stuff

Thanks, Will

Hanks, man! And I love that swayback jack case.

Thanks, Joey; the SBJ isn't very big, but it's sure a great knife.

Oh yeah Gary, my favorite player of all time. There is no second place. I started watching baseball just as he started his career.

Great player, but this life-long Detroit Tiger (and Al Kaline) fan has to add that it's too bad Mantle played for the hated Yankees!

My constant companion for the previous two years. Boker 494

That EO Böker Barlow is exceptional!

Busy day in Titusville today! I had these two along! One local and one contraband!!!

Terrific twosome for the Rendezvous, Ron! I hope everyone there is having a fine time!

Great photo, deltaboy. Is that Buck a 373?

Thanks GT! I think G. Knauth is a hardware company. Not sure who made the knife though. Your Case sowbelly is something special! Beautiul bone and jigging!
...

Thanks for the Knauth info and for the sowbelly compliment, Mark.

...
Thank you my friend, a fine Case selection there
...
These two for me today, Lamb and a Squirrel

Thanks, Jack. I like your "pet animals"! Does the squirrel have a stainless blade?

You need a moose.

Took me a couple of minutes to catch on!

Several days in a row now with my yellow TC.. or as my 3 year old calls it.. "Daddy's Ya Ya knife"

...

I say, "Yeah, Yeah!" to your Ya Ya knife, Drew!

That's sure a splendid White Owl, Travman!!

Holy cow!! Fantastic knives, and thanks for the cool comparison shot, Stuart!

GT, 5K Qs , a smashing brace of Cases on yesterday's post!

My Case today

I received this out of the generosity of one of our friends (@totkst1) here in a GAW. It's my only canoe, and I wouldn't have purchased one myself. But, it's turned into a real favorite of mine, really full of character.

That's a nice looking canoe. I have my first arriving tomorrow. We'll see if it becomes a user. It sure looks good, as do all canoes. I've been tempted numerous times because who doesn't like the lines of a canoe. In any event, mine is stag which means it'll be ok.

Thanks for the encouraging words, Tom. As a hardcore "canoeseur", I can't help but admire your ravishing Case canoe!!! Looking forward to seeing your new canoe, too, Alan! And I agree with you on the stag making ANY knife at least OK (and probably a LOT better than OK ).

Mammoth-ish

Superb photo, Dee! Quite incredible that in a sense, one of those majestic beasts "lives on" in your pocket!

At any rate, I like it a lot.

Congrats on finding yet another big-league Böker, r8shell!!

Camillus EO today

Captivating Camillus EO teardrop, Steve! The bail is a real bonus, IMHO!

These two for me, Happy Friday!

Tom, congrats to you and everyone else (at least 007hunter and Drew have posted them today, I think) on picking up those Lionsteel barlows!! Is yours ram's horn? They seem to be shipping both light and dark versions of the ram's horn, and both look impressive.

...
It's been back to monotony for me lately with the SB 77 in my pocket and the 5160 buck 110 on my hip.

Erik, you say "monotony", but I say "consistency, security, and commitment"!

Thank you again, Erik! This beauty is going to get a lot of pocket time.

What a distinguished knife, Dylan!!

I have this GEC 72 along on my vacation (thanks, Dee):

I also have this Douk-Douk in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with me, but we're quite a distance away from Gladstone, MI of Northwoods fame:

At the old job today, making big rocks into small rocks it seems sometimes. These two along (and the mark side stag that I just realized I never posted). Really liking this stockman. Touched it up today and took an AMAZING edge.

 

[r8shell]

Congrats on finding yet another big-league Böker, r8shell!!

Thanks, 5K. Actually, I found two of 'em. They're small, so I'm carrying them both today.

The wooden pen is 2 ¼".

I also have my new Lionsteel Roundhead in carbon fiber. It doesn't have the handmade warmth of a traditional pocket knife, so I think of it more like a traditionally inspired modern slipjoint. That said, it's a very well made knife!

Found room in my pockets for some old, though still green, companions today. Should get my lunch pals talking. On the left is a 3 5/8" tear drop by "Cattaraugus Cutlery Co., Little Valley, NY" and on the right is a 3 3/4" swell end by "N.C. CO. CANTON, O" - Novelty Cutlery Company, Canton, OH. Personally, I find it hard to research knives for either of these companies, but it is interesting (and I like them).
