What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[HST]

@Jack Black Sleep well, my friend.

 

[Nature Boy]

I got this just before my son was born, so I always carry it for his big life events.
He turned 5 today, and starts kindergarten tomorrow...

Is that a Pemberton? I like the jigging and colors in that bone...nice!

My Roundhead assisted me in prepping these Dove poppers for the grill.
It also helped out as a spike in a tree to hold my squirrels from this mornings hunt for a quick picture.

Doves AND squirrels! Man, you're rollin'.

Sure is. GEC's only coke bottle pattern. They called it Autumn Gold Jigged bone.

Looks very nice...I know that many think it's too small, but what a great one for the watch-pocket. We'll probably never see another run of these.

I don't know about you, but this " strawberry bone " doesn't exactly scream strawberry to me.

I'm not exactly into the sowbelly stockman, but the main blade on this knife which was a Christmas gift just called to me for some reason so I've decided to finally carry it.

Thanks for the kind words GT . The Taylors Eye Witness Lambsfoot has Ramshorn covers .

Harry

Thanks for confirming my "unstated suspicions", Harry. That smooth blond ram's horn is quite elegant!

GT, the Sheffield Scout is really cool with both a fish scaler/hook disgorger and a saw. I have a Vic Electrician (the stripper blade is a great cigar trimmer) and a Recruit (mine is a Boy Scouts of America version) and love to carry them, though one is enough for me at any one time (I'll probably eat those words soon).

Thanks, Gary. I see you are carrying a SAK Electrician. You reminded me that I have been neglecting mine. I will have to remedy that sooner than later.
...

Thanks, Stuart and FBC. The rudimentary Recruit is one of my favorite celidor SAKs for its simplicity, and the Electrician is one of my favorite Alox models.

...
Btw what's the story on that Sheffield knife of yours ?

That Sheffield-brand scout - along with a flashlight, a couple of sizes of Sheffield multitools, a Sheffield knock-off of a Vic Classic, and a huge horribly-constructed half-serrated liner lock tactical folder (the first tactical knife I'd ever seen) - all stored in a canvas/nylon multi-compartment belt pouch was a birthday gift from my wife maybe 25 years ago. Quite sure she got it at Sears.

Arrived yesterday, so for today it has to be

Congrats on your new BF knife, Will!

Thanks my friend, there's talk of an 'Indian Summer' here, so I dare say you'll be seeing more of my Sambar Cool pic of your Electrician

Lamb and a Squirrel today

...
About to hit the hay here, and I'll be up with the larks, and straight out of the house in the morning. Planning to carry this 'Straight' Stag Lambsfoot from A.Wright's, and the lovely #25 that came my way from Barrett

Thanks, Jack. "Up with the larks" is a new (and delightful) phrase to me!
I'm enjoying your recent interspecies combinations - lambs/squirrels, stag/unicorn, etc.

Thanks Gary! I've had this as my only knife since Friday. But this is the same man that carried a 6347 Case SS Stockman from 1973 until sometime in the late 1990's when I became bitten by the thumb bob hole in the blade bug!! What could I have been thinking??

Whoa! When you've carried a single knife for 25 years, sticking with the Workhorse for 3 days doesn't seem so long!

...
Thanks GT. Yeah, it was a bit sunnier than normal for that time of day yesterday. That spot is nestled along a reservoir that sits at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Pacific Ocean is a ways off on the other side and, this time of year, the fog rolls in over the ridge in the evening and then burns off mid morning. Its really beautiful to see from a different vantage point on the commute home.

As a change of pace from the whittlers I've been carrying lately, I have my Calf Roper—seen here posing in our garden this morning—with me today:

Champion Calf-Roper, Greg!! And thanks for the additional weather info about your photo location.

These two for wooden Wednesday.

Good wood, Tom!

Old Cattaraugus barlow...

One of my favorites, Wayne; that tiny script on the bolster gets me!!

...
Nice story about the family farm, GT!
...
I still have my #15 Rope Knife in my pocket.

Thanks for the kind words, Barrett. Real Knice Rope Knife!!

Rainy day here too. Wooden Wednesday.

Very distinguished, Dschal!!

Euro Knife of the Week is a MAM Iberica:

We don't get to see many of these little 06 Pemberton Jewels posted . I was able to get one at the Rendezvous and I really like it a lot . You have posted a fine picture of a very nice little knife . I actually like mine more than my Peanut .
Thanks for the fine posting my friend .

Rainy day here today, so I'm using a recycled pic.

@Horsewright Dave, I really enjoy your pics of the daily ranch workings. The horses seem to really be enjoying the refreshment of the water trough.

I might have commented on your Harness Jack before, Bob, but it is a fine knife and is certainly worth being complimented again. That ebony is exquisite.

I still have my #15 Rope Knife in my pocket.

I just love those knives. The detail is superb and the Roger's jigging is the best I've ever seen from GEC. Solid Choice. I have a rather large collection of 15S115(s). I gotta get a few of these raindrop DT Damascus to @glennbad .

Charlie's SFO Diamond Rope Knife is arguable his best SFO outside of a TC.

I've been eyeballing those Navy knives for awhile, there are still quite a few remaining on shelves. None so fine as Charlie's SFOs though, those are absolutely stellar.

I love this picture, the knife is gorgeous. I can't identify the wood though. Cocobolo? Something else? Regardless, absolutely beautiful.


I've been rocking these two today. All the fine stag that some of you folks have been sporting lately has encouraged me to keep this 66 close by. A fine companion to a single straight edged blade.

33OT JACK, 875 Walden Muskrat and a Walden Pony lockback.

Thanks! The covers are Jobillo wood. This is my all time favorite knife!!!!!

I don't know about you, but this " strawberry bone " doesn't exactly scream strawberry to me....

The RR strawberry bone has never quite looked right to me. Maybe it is the jigging they use with it, I don't know. I once passed on a muskrat that I was interested in because I didn't like the strawberry bone covers, and instead bought a trapper in (plain) red jigged bone. I still don't have a muskrat, but I did learn to appreciate the trapper pattern!

Maybe they were thinking about what it might look like if you sliced a strawberry with a fine serrated knife ?( don't eat them so I really don't know what they look like inside )
As far as red goes I don't mind this too much, but I would much prefer a different color if given the choice. if given th choice I'd also go with a different pattern.
