What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[HFinn]

Went for a long walk in the woods with my wife and the dog, took this modded Opinel nr. 9 with me. Of the several Opinel modifications I have done I like this best. It might not show but the handle has an easy opening notch. The handle is burned and oiled, the knife is a friction folder with a tight pull, I like it this way best. Feels very secure and slices well.

I don’t normally carry anything more than a scout, but today is an exception. I’ve got a ton of cardboard to cut down in the garage, so the 154CM Case Backpocket is pulling clean-up duty, while the Camillus Engineers Knife just sits in my pocket and looks sexy. With these two knives, it’s almost a beautiful bone overload.

Very pretty pair.

Put a new edge on it, it’s scary sharp now. Threw it in the pocket and started working on the new hunting stand.

Going with some smaller knives today. The "Monroe Hardware Company - 1966" is a Camillus and rides in my left pocket. (Monroe Hardware was founded in 1886 by Wm. Henry Belk, founder of the Belks department store dynasty, and others, and continues to service the hardware needs of 8 southeastern states from its headquarters in Monroe, NC.) In my right pocket are a Case Pattern 20 Peanut with Appaloosa bone handle (1978) and a Schrade Walden "Junior" stockman (108OT, 1963-1973). The latter two are each 2 3/4" closed, but mighty handy.

That Appaloosa bone Peanut is a looker for sure.

I'll have to try to get a picture of my two lambfeet together.

r8shell, your rosewood rocks, but the new Guardian Lambsfoot ups the ante, aesthetics-wise!! Congrats!

Excellent photo of your Douk-Douk, Jerry!!

I hope you all enjoy the weekend! I have got a big ole smile on my face today!!!

Congrats, Ron; your Guardian Lambsfoot is sensational in every respect!!

Haven’t carried carbon steel in several weeks. 81 stockman today with the essential, taking the kids to the pumpkin patch.

Had the essential yesterday. I watched an older lady fall across the parking lot in the middle at the store. I ran over to help. She had cut her hand pretty good. Another lady came over to help and had some tissue so we started to try to stop the bleeding. Long story short, they brought out some gauze and tape, and while holding her hand all wrapped up, the small fixed blade was the perfect tool to cut gauze and tape. I’ve been questioning my fairly recent addition of a small fixie, but yesterday cemented their position on my belt.

After we got her bandaged up and called her daughter, we helped her up and into the stores break room. She is fine, and no other injuries, thank goodness.

Glad you were there to help out, SVT; inspiring story and admirable pair of knives!

Curtain & Clark (curved ) / Kansas City
Curtain & Clark was a hardware store and did not make their own cutlery. Research indicates they were in business from 1898 -1910 but as noted by AccuJohn in the thread linked below, he found Levines has them around from 1890-1920. I wish I could find a picture of both stores !! The one in St. Josephs, Missouri and the Kansas City store I've seen knives stamped with both. Some of our esteemed porch members have a few. I've read some of the knives were made by Tidioute Cutlery Co. in Tidioute, Penn, (1909 – 1916) and Schatt & Morgan. This particular cattle knife looks NYKCo to me...I wonder

Laudable old knife, Gev, and thanks for the background interesting info!! Is the main blade a spearpoint?

...
I’ve been working at cleaning off some of the corrosion, and shining up the scales on my Boker 9361 this afternoon.

Yowza, that's pretty doggone resplendent, Buzz!!

Just outta the ol mailbox

#77 in Pine Green Jig Bone.

Congrats on your new 77 jack, Paul!!

Thinking in a similar vein today..

Today I continue with GEC # 25...

Supreme 25 EO sheep, sheep, spear, Travman, Will, & Pt-Luso!! The toasty stag covers are luscious, and the crimson bone and bodice shield are a fantastic combination!

...
Thanks GT, and best of luck! Great pic of the RR, that red bone looks almost like licorice .

I had these two with me today, the flat grind on the Enzo punches way above it’s weight.

Thanks, Tom; I got another RR stockman at the same time, a Eureka stockman, that looks even more candy-colored to me. Blue Farmer still looks fabulous!!

A prince in an ivory tower eh? Certainly a very lovely old knife

Thanks a lot my friend, going to be the same today unfortunately

Nice Stockman, I've had a couple of those, and they're a pretty decent knife I think
...
I hope everyone has a good Sunday I have to do some work again unfortunately Hanging onto my Lambsfoot

Thanks for the kind words, Jack; I like the "positive spin" you put on my putting celluloid knives into solitary confinement. I should be catching up with some work duties this weekend, but doubt if I will. Warm and dry weather during late summer and early fall have made the fall colors quite subdued so far in my region, but you have a "fall color tour" in your pocket whenever you carry your grand Guardian Lambsfoot!!

Wow, that stag lambsfoot is exceptional, Ron!! Much darker and more textured than most modern "eurostag" I've seen. Is that a recent acquisition, or am I just not paying close enough attention?

Rob, that Blue Grass Barlow is captivating!!

I don’t normally carry anything more than a scout, but today is an exception. I’ve got a ton of cardboard to cut down in the garage, so the 154CM Case Backpocket is pulling clean-up duty, while the Camillus Engineers Knife just sits in my pocket and looks sexy.

Boy, Buzz, what a bonny brace of beguiling brown bone!!!

View attachment 781393

Goodness gracious, r8shell, that patina really complements the "wiggly feathering" in the horn!!!

Two of my most used today.

Dazzling dark duo returns!! They look marvelous, Tom!

As always, these 3 knives are with me:
Thanks, Bob

Thanks, Rachel

Thanks, GRG&KS

Thanks, Will

GT as usual, thank you The colour on that photo is I'm afraid, rather misleading. It a burnt orange rather than the crimson it seems.

Regards, Will

5K Qs That very red RR Eureka stockman reminds me of my favorite Red Hots candy.

Stainless pairing this week. Case Red Etch Peanut in Stag & lionSTEEL Ram’s Horn Roundhead. (Anxiously awaiting the Shuffler!)

 

[r8shell]

Yes!!!

r8shell, your rosewood rocks, but the new Guardian Lambsfoot ups the ante, aesthetics-wise!! Congrats!

Thanks! I really like this one; an early favorite for "knife of the year."

Looking good r8shell How is the etch holding up?

Still there, Jack, I just have to tilt the blade to catch the light in order to see it.
