What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Ace Rimmer]

My favorite food prep knife, it slices very well but it spreads peanut butter even better than the Spey on my trappers.

I haven't tried this yet, but I've often suspected that a full-size trapper would make an ideal, do-all "picnic" knife for both slicing and spreading.

There's been a few Otter Messers around lately, so I thought I'd bring this out for a carry.

Clean, simple, sturdy, elegant.

And at just over 4 1/8" closed, looks like it'd ace the all-important peanut-butter-spreader test too!

Thank you, my friend ! It was not that bad here but Houston and some other areas need prayers. It is the worst I have ever seen in my life ! Epic devastation and on going. So very saddening.

 

[Cambertree]

Terrible scenes on the news here, but I'm glad to hear you're OK, my friend.

Simplicity from the early 1970's this morning. I picked it out of the drawer as soon as I eyed it.

Did you polish the bolsters and if so, how?

Yes I did, WoodManGM. I didn't try to do a mirror polish, but rather attempt to smooth it out a bit. The satin finish from GEC on mine was a bit coarse. I Masked off the blade and all other places I didn't want to get sanded, or get stuff into. I used a piece of 1000 grit sandpaper, followed by another piece of 2000 grit (this is what I had on hand), using 1 or 2 fingers with light-medium pressure. Went cross-wise against GEC's length-wise until I saw a minimum of those original lines remaining. Probably spent about a half hour or 45 minutes total.

Nice pic Travis. I like those older 25 sheepsfoot with no nail nick or pull on them. Very clean looking.

Two amazing knives but that Scout is brushed by angel's wings

Glad to hear from you Gev. We are watching the devastation around Houston and now east too! It's terrible. Our thoughts go out to Texans everywhere.
