What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I'm carrying an odd, but handy pair today. The 3 blade stockman is by S.W. Cutlery (about which I know nothing), is much like a Buck Cadet or Schrade 34OT, and has a faint "Liberty" etch on the main blade and a raised brass cracked Liberty bell on the mark side black Delrin scale. The Parker Brothers Eagle Brand K124 has thick stag scales and a Wharncliffe main (with soaring eagle etch). They should make for interesting companions today.

The north of England is in my opinion one of the nicest parts of the world. We don't have towering mountain ranges or endless tracts of wilderness, and your never that far from a road or village, but outside of our cities there is a bleak beauty to our upland fells. Generally they look like this:

I can not argue with you about Northern England . Personally , I have been in the Yorkshire area more than anywhere else and I like it a lot . Yorkshire Pud is one of my very favorite foods . Mushy Peas & Chips too . But then again , there are many other places in the world that are very nice .

Yes it is, but with your stag I know you know the feeling. It's also one of the reasons I've been selling and narrowing my concentration.

Thanks for the kind words about my Stag my friend . I do know the feeling very well but surprisingly enough for most of the Mondays through Fridays I have hard time choosing what to carry for working around our place . Then it it is one of my 2 old Taylor Eye Witness or my Old Cattaraugus Congress and all of them are Jigged Bone . It used to be my 73 in Stag but I am trying to save it because I really like it as it is .
What are you trying concentrate on ???? Customs ???? Lloyds ???

I'm keeping about 8-10 of my stags, the Lloyd of course and a few specials. I've become enamored of the canoe patten so I'll be chasing those. I was accumulating willy nilly with no target. By reducing the collection it allows me to have a reason to keep buying. Sounds like justification to me.

Harry, So far I have a Northwoods, Queen City and a Case. I'd like to get the GEC 16 Little Indian Girl but so far the two I've found are very expensive and they seem to be as scarce as hens teeth.

Thanks. Not specifically, bought years ago with paper, nfs. I make jewelry and give them away or donate them to help Santa and Mrs Claus. 2017's auction was last Saturday at the VFW, raised over 6K for kids who would otherwise not have presents. This year's donated jewelry:

Very nice jewelry and a great cause. I guess I get caught up in thinking everything is destined to end up as custom covers for a knife.
 
My miscellaneous knife this week is an old E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter (thanks, Mark):

Nice! I never get tired of ebony barehead jacks, and that's a sweet one!

Howdy! First post, though I have been hanging around here on the porch for a bit. Great place to hang out! I love stockman, this is my current favorite.

Thanks much,
Josh

Welcome, Josh! That's a fine stockman. :thumbsup:

This week, I've decided to carry my Guardians Lambfoot, and my Girl Scout Knife.

My brothers are both coming to visit, and I pulled out their old Forrest-Masters for them. (gave 'em a little cleaning and oiling) If they want to take them home, we'll have to mail them.

Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving!

My stockman this week is an Uncle Henry (thanks, Dean):

Very nice 897UH. The local store had one, but by the time I decided that I wanted it, it was gone. I've recently noticed those Schrade (USA) stockmans really sharpen up nicely. I'm keeping my eyes open for another one to show up.
