What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Not only are these two doctors, they are cousins, too. The larger (3 3/4" closed) is a CHIPAWAY CUTLERY CO. doctors knife. ChipAway was a trademark used by E.C. Simmons from 1891-1920. The other is an E.C. SIMMONS ST. LOUIS marked doctors knife (3 1/4" closed) that is also marked KEEN KUTTER on the bottom bolster. That trademark used from 1868-1960. They leave plenty of room in my pockets compared to the Hobo and the Coke bottle hunter that I carried yesterday

The swedges are pretty cool on these blades, so I tried to get a better picture of them.

That wood is very nice, Jeff, both the grain and colors.
- Stuart

Much appreciated, Stuart. The curly zebrawood Queens are a tremendous value, with such beautiful wood and D2 steel.

@waynorth do these bolsters pass muster? Ho! Ho! Ho!

... Mrs. Dschal has no interest in knives, sadly, but yarn....

Wooden Wednesday after the storm.

Cool photo, in more ways than one. I can relate to the yarn thing; my wife's materials and machines for knitting, sewing, quilting, embroidering, etc. are taking over more and more rooms of our house as time passes!

5K Qs Thanks for the gracious comments, GT. Your Case half congress is exquisite, in the fullest sense, and that buckshot bone on the Colt is new to me (and appreciated greatly). What a display! The more I look, the more I learn. Love the Porch!
- Stuart

Outstanding, GT. Simply outstanding!

Thanks for the supportive comments, Stuart and Dirk. Colt no longer makes knives, but it seems Rough Rider has added some buckshot bone models to their line-up.

Grand knife, Jeff! "Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying."

Stupendous stag, Andi!!

Did any one else read the word "cleaning" as a gerund, rather than an adjective, at first?
...

Entertaining question, r8shell!

Thanks my friend, splendid trio
...

Thanks, Jack.

I'm not going to apologize for the lack of daylight. Somebody should be apologizing to me for the lack of daylight.

OK, I'll volunteer. Jer, I apologize for the lack of daylight recently. (But compare your situation to Will in Finland, and rejoice!! )

I am sure they have been paired together many times.

(Never by me, and it's not likely to happen in the future. Your Buck 501 looks very desirable, but I can't see me ever going with button-fly jeans. )

These 2 in my pockets again today .

Harry, you have many stunning stag pairs that you've posted, but there's just something about this brown-boned, rattled-bolster duo that resonates with me!!!

Of course my new Burnt Chimney Barlow

Congratulations on the appealing new Barlow, Dirk! I've never heard of Burnt Chimney, but I certainly like the tang and bolster stamps!

Transcendent twosome of physician knives, Stuart!!

Just in from the exchange, I'm carrying this #40 gunstock today.

Congrats on the new gunstock, Jeff!

Your serpentine Remington is as slender and curvy as Vianne the chocolate lady, Gev!!

Lonnnnnnggggg day! These two helped out

Distinctive duo today, Jack. You could call them, referring to their cover materials, the White Stuff and the Black Stuff!

My "Big Knife of the Week" is a MAM Iberica:

I'm also carrying, as I have since its arrival, my Guardians Lambsfoot. It has apparently joined the pantheon of knives I carry EVERY day!

Thanks for the very kind words about my 2 old TEWs my friend . I really like to carry them too . They are just 2 of the finest Old Knives that I have ever handled . I think that they are at least on par with the Old Cattaraugus knives that I have handled . They are really great work knives and take a great edge .
Your Guardian's covers look pretty deep and nice . How are you liking it by now ??

Had this one with me today when going to the YMCA and coffee with our friends .

Wonderful stag, Harry, and the painted bolster is awesome!

Never heard of it before, too and there a not a lot of informations on the internet about it. But I found out on AAPK , that they were not producing knifes by themselves, only engaged other companies to build knives for them. The company was (or still is) located in Forest City N.C. (btw.it seems, Burnt Chimney was the former name of Forest City) and run by Marshall Hardin who owned a pharmacy and sold knives. And they were obviously reliable enough to be appointed to build the annual youth knife for NKCA

Thanks GT. Oh the stories I could tell! I guess it’s just a “first world problem,” and not a bad one at that.

 

[Dschal]

Long day in the darkroom.

 

[tmd_87]

Took this one out for the first time in a while! Thought it was festive for my son's Christmas performance at school.

 

[Travman]

I received this half dollar in my change today.

Transcendent twosome of physician knives, Stuart!!

Thanks, GT. I enjoyed having them with me today, though they deserve a rest at their age. The ChipAway opened letters and packages with aplomb.

Well it has been two years straight with this beauty. A few dents and a little less steel but she continues with me each day earning her keep. Boker 494 with an easy open mod.

Looking great!
I really like that Chipaway.
I didnt realize that the "doctor" pattern had a flattened bolster on one end.
