What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Victorinox Gardener. About 2 1/8" of edge but a nice full size handle (4") makes it comfy to hold and use.

Paul, that #66 is very sharp. I don't generally care for colored scales but that looks great. Nice patina! Mind me asking what you used to get that look?

My new to me/used Buck 500 has been in my pocket every day since Christmas morning. It's going to be a very long time before this is displaced. Perfect size for me.

I'm dipping my toes in the water. Traditional patterns aren't usually my style, but I really like my Case "American Workman" Sodbuster.

I know I posted it up yesterday, but this time I have a real picture.
 
Carried a case cv peanut, queen large stockman, and a benchmade bone collector today.
I did use my mora classic 1 to cut up my steak to give it credit, even if it did not leave my house.
 
I hadn't seen the model in person until earlier this year when I spotted it for sale at Target in a package with another SAK. I think it may also be referred to as the Florist or Floral model. One interesting thing about it is that the edge is ground only on the mark side. For a right hander that's not the side you really want the edge on for some tasks but overall it does fine. Good to keep around as a knife that you can grab to cut whatever's needed and not worry about it, like a sodbuster.

If the people around you are anything like the people around me, I suspect they'll be less put off seeing that Sodbuster come of your pocket than any modern tactical folder. "That's a nice old knife" is the most common response I get.

That is the grind found on grafting knives. I don't know about florist knives, but they could be the same.

I saw that same package at Target, if I weren't on a shoestring budget I would have brought one home.

Yes, I would imagine so. I've already received a few compliments rather than the rare "watch out" type comments. They usually don't bug me. :D

Surprisingly enough, my grey endura doesn't appear to put many people off either. They seem to make more comments when I use something like the BK-11, even though it is a smaller knife. I'm not sure if it's the fixed blade or the black color.

Oh, and as an anti threadjack measure, the soddie is in my pocket today too. :cool:
 
Today is a good day to have a bottle opener handy...
