What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[tmd_87]

Carrying this and my OD #72 today for the start of my Christmas vacation!

 

[Duckdog]

This week I carried my Colt serpentine Medium Stockman.
It was gifted to me by a co-worker a couple of years ago. It belonged to her husband and knowing my interest in pocket knives, she gave it to me after he passed. One of those little things that just touches you...it doesn’t make it into the carry rotation as often as it should, though.

It well deserves some carry; it is a fine knife, regardless of the lovely sentiments (which also argue for carry).

Today I was Totin my Case CV Chestnut Jigged Bone Sowbelly! These are just terrific knives!

Beautiful knife and composition. A must have I'm thinking

It is a good, solid knife and doesn’t get the attention from me it deserves.

Going back to something good:

The hot rod shop is Santa’s workshop this mornin. 2 bikes, a basketball goal and an art easel to put together. These two guys (rod braud fixed and 81 stockman that’s my Christmas knife even though it’s called Mardi Gras) helping me out.

Great Eastern Cutlery #38 Special. Love the walnut colored jigged bone even if GEC insists that it is Antique Amber Jigged Bone

@Heirphoto that beaver shield is amazing!

Out and about with this one for the first time today; even got a chance to slice an apple for lunch.

This is my latest project, a "refurbished" 2014 Case 62032CV small Texas jack. The strange coloring (which I like very much!) is due to an experiment with blue dye on jigged amber bone. The full story can be found here:

Beguiling dye job on your Texas Jack, @Ace Rimmer !

Arrived yesterday and carried today.

Compelling lambsfoot I*XL Barlow (and sheath), @bonzodog !! Stainless blade?

Lady Bird Lake
Reservoir
Lady Bird Lake is a river-like reservoir on the Colorado River in Austin, Texas, United States. The City of Austin created the reservoir in 1960 as a cooling pond for a new city power plant. The surface area of the lake is 416 acres, and it is currently used primarily for recreation and flood control…

...

Dandy photos, Gevonovich ! Lovely lake and chart-topping Churchill!

Lady Bird Lake? Never heard of it. That looks like Town Lake, to me! (yes. I am old and curmudgeonly)

Groovy Churchill you got there. My ChristmaHanuKwanzaKah present to myself came today, and it went right into my pocket. Well...not right in, first I had to coon finger and chicken eye it for a good long spell. I'll be carrying it tomorrow.

Congrats on the entrancing ebony Churchill, @r8shell !!

I'm old too and have always known it as Town Lake...lol. Or just Lake Austin. I guess I was reading too many signs along the trail and I used to wait on Lady Bird Johnson as a teenager in high school at a high end restaurant I worked at. She tipped well and always showed up with her entourage

Looking forward to all the pictures of your ebony gem !!!

Gevonovich , Gev, you old name-dropper!! You've led such a rich, full life!!

...Happy belated birthday wishes my friend!

Thanks, Ron. Fantastic duo, @Half/Stop!

5K Qs Nice Esquire! Mine sits on the lamp table next to the couch in the living room where it is always handy. I don't recall where I got it or how long I've had it, but the "Swiss Cross" has completely worn off mine.

Thanks, @Ace Rimmer! Sounds like you use your Esquire much more than I use mine! (I always have a Vic Minichamp with me.)

I agree, GT, and, yes, it is a mini trapper (6207) from 1965-1969. I carry it a good bit more than the big Barlow, but they do make a fun pair. ...

D Duckdog Thanks for the further ID info, Stuart. I've become quite a fan of the mini trapper (and the slimline trapper) in the past few months.

...This one gets carried again today, wonder why?

Shown here on a fine Bison leather pouch Bob Big Biscuit gave me shortly before he died. Ever renewed homage Bob!

Groovy Churchill and glorious bison pouch, Will Power !! Hard to believe I first "met" Bob less than 3 years ago.
