What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Was carrying these two 83's in Stag today while we were out Christmas shopping . Do not carry them often , but I like both of them a lot .



Part of the shopping took us into a Antique Mall to look for something specific for a daughter , and of course I had to look for a knife . The bigger Camp knife was one that I have been watching for 2 years and they finally reduced to 1/2 of what it used to be and then I offered even less . Do not know the Brand , but it was Made In U.S.A. . The Easy Open is an Imperial Prov., RI. and the Wooden one is a Boker Splitback Whittler . All 3 are pretty solid but need cleaning and oiling and only had to pay $ 50 Total .

Great picture Taylor . Have you bonded with that 73 Stag yet ?????? Who turned the File into a pretty nice Fixed Blade ???? It looks like it would fit a hand pretty good .

Thanks Harry, ya I have. It hasn't been out of my pocket since I received it. The 72 and 73 frame is just a great size for me. It has been used as a "steak knife" the past couple of days and the patina is just looking amazing. I just ran it on my strop and it's back to shaving sharp. I catch my self just grabbing it and admiring the stag covers constantly.

The file knife is made by Anza Knives they specialize in file knives at a very good price. This elk handled knife was around $75 and it's a great knife. You can't beat an almost custom knife in elk for that price!!! I definitely need to start carrying it more. I'm in search of a nice pocket sheath for it now.

Thanks for the Reply Taylor . I hope that you are using a Pocket Slip for your Beautiful 73 Stag to greatly increase the time in which you will start to see the dreaded Verdigris develop . Carry them in good health my friend . Nice knives .

Now finally in the right thread: The new Northwoods Delta Jack!! I like the Fremont pattern better but the Delta Jack makes up for this with the red burlap micarta. Great looking stuff!!

I hear ya Frank. It’s not close to a Fremont, but the #35 frame is sublime. I do enjoy the Delta Jack a lot - the #35 is my favorite GEC frame, so far - and I’m rotating my red burlap to start. The Delta’s burlap micartas seemed seasonal, IMO

Looking good Ron :) :thumbsup:

They were saying, on the radio, it was -13 here last night! :eek: Have to say that it doesn't sound quite so bad in 'Real Money' - 8.6 Fahrenheit. Still pretty cold. I'm warming my hands on these two ;) :thumbsup:

I generally carry a knife for a few days, until another one calls to me. For some reason, this one is sticking with me for a while. (of course, it's joined in the pocket with other, smaller knives)
Buck 705: pretty much the same size as a 305, but much sturdier. :)
