What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Dschal]

This has been used for some food and went with me on my local walk. And found a new friend!

 

[Hickory n steel]

But, of course!

(We've already been eating apples together.)

I missed this pattern when it first appeared, viewing it (from afar) as too similar to some of my other knives, redundant in light of my #15 jacks, etc.

Beholding the knife person, while at the GEC factory for the Rendezvous? I was a magnet to this steel, inexorably drawn back to the the knife again and again until it jumped into my pocket. I love jack knives, and consider this one (quint)essential in its goodness-- ebony, all steel, beautiful in its equal-end proportions.

Thanks GT, I sure do love my imperial peanut.
I was happy to learn that the covers were just a plastic film that I could peel off because it looks so much better this way.

Nice duo of Forum Knives. Due to great good fortune, I shall be getting the same two in the post over the next week or two. Think I might strop up the TC forum bolster though, I like 'em shiny

Congratulations! I think you'll be pleased with them. I like to carry a combination of knives that includes a straight edge, a curved edge, and some sort of scraping/prying tool to keep me from doing something dumb with the other two blades. These two really fit the bill and I could see myself pairing them up often.

Thanks, yes sir that's a 92 Talon...ended up with three from the 2016 run...such a great pattern.

A beautiful pattern indeed...great looking stag on yours!

That 2016 run seemed odd in that I think the DLT SFOs made up the entire batch. I'm hoping they do another run of the two bladed version in the near future.

My new (to me) pinched Peanut. I put a write up and more pics in the "Cult of the peanut, members" thread.
My Lloyd is with me today also, said he didn't mind being left out of today's picture.

I have looked at these a hundred times and just never pulled the trigger, but that might change now...just a beautiful knife. The secondary being a wharncliffe really completes it.

Again, I think I have space for only one photo of a knife I've been using this week. I'll "spend" it on this little Chinese Imperial sodbuster that I've been using in the kitchen all week. I spruced up the edge a bit on a candy dish cover, and the knife has just blown me away this week in terms of performance! I can't believe you can get a knife this capable for $5! Maybe Taylor-Imperial has problems with consistency, and I'm probably lucky I obtained such a trouble-free example (I AM quite fortunate in my knife life, for the most part), but still...

These are great knives for the price. Not perfect, but wouldn't expect it. The ones I got have nice snap and seem sturdy enough.

Going all spear and all Redbone this week.

Come and get your love!

Ha! I see what you did there. Those are a couple of really nice looking knives.

 

[Half/Stop]

Wow, that stag is outta this world. Whatever you paid, it was worth it.

Thanks for the compliment!

Can't help but share Ron's prayers, and can't help but stare at Ron's pair of knives!!

Gary thank you for your kind words my friend!

During the week, I carry knives dictated by a "rotation schedule" that I set up to indicate a dozen knives to carry each week over a 30-week period. But on the weekend, I often abandon that deterministic approach and exercise my free will, carrying whatever knives strike my fancy. As I mentioned in my last post in this thread, I really enjoyed using a Taylor-Imperial sodbuster in the kitchen this week, and that inspired me to have a Sodbuster Saturday/Sunday. I filled my pockets with all the sodbusteresque knives I currently have.

This is a constant companion that rides in my front pocket with my keys. Sees use every day and it's starting to show some nice patina on the black scales.

Showing my age!

I just got a mental image of you with all those soddies in your pockets dragging you pants half way down like some of our youngsters wear theirs and I must say GT it wasn't a pleasant image.

Hahaha. Thanks a lot Randy. Now I have the same visual. Poor Gary. Lol

Just got it yesterday at a yard sale. I couldn't talk the guy down from his $7 asking price.
