What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[SVTFreak]

Finally broke down and started using the 73 Apostle P today. Helped me change oil in 2 vehicles, pour some cement in holes from roof drains and then cut up some onions and radishes for dinner (don’t worry, it actually didn’t do anything before dinner, the rod Braud did and got cleaned afterwards).

Carrying this one today. Case 6347HP SSP 1972 vintage. Proud to say I am responsible for that 45 years of Authentic Pocket Worn Red Bone goodness!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Oh, the old Hammer’s been round the block a few times, and she’s ready for more.
She’s a beaut!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

The 23 Jack did it’s job on the stir fry veggies, and the Utica tl29 supervised.

 

[tmd_87]

Today in my pocket I carry this GEC 15 Radio Jack...

Drrrrooooolllll!!!! This is my current grail!

 

[solphilos]

Just got these two in today, and they will certainly be in pocket all day tomorrow. I'm jumping the gun but I'm very excited about the #78!

Still solid and sharp Thank you for the compliment !

Both very nice but the grain on your #78 is AMAZING

My smooth bone #78 for today's carry.

@Duckdog that's living large I miss my waterfowl hunting days. Nothing like being in a well built duck blind.

Happy New Years to one and all.

Attractive EO 74, @hamsco !!

Relaxing at home after a lot of traveling over the holidays! I’m keeping it smooth and simple!

Beauteous bone Barlow, Ron!

...

...
Btw I promise this'll be my last 119 pic for a while, because I know everyone is probably tired of seeing it by now.

Commitment is cool, Hickory n steel !! If you carry your Buck every day, I'd enjoy seeing it every day!

Boring pic but this is my New Years Day carry. View attachment 822146

Dandy, dramatic duo, Jake @JITDC !

Since I was taking a tree down today, the Christmas tree to be specific, I thought the Lumberjack would be appropriate.

Enchanting, @315 !

GT, I suppose it is possible that the paint will wear out, but because of the process they used in the 70’s, the engraving will always be there. I plan to use my Canoe as well. The blades sure look like stainless, but they are not marked at all as to metal type. I read that in those days carbon blades were not indicated. So, unless it says stainless, you know that it is carbon. I guess we have carbon blades.

First-rate analysis, Leslie; I'll try to remember to use the canoe to cut an apple for breakfast Wednesday.

Yes sir. A Charlie C. SFO. Radio Jack.
Thanks for the compliment. I have to agree that these came out lovely, and have some of my favorite jigging from GEC.

Great! Thanks for the confirmation, Mike!

Thank you Gary and a Happy 2018 to you my friend! Mrs. Claus found that dandy background on clearance at the craft store. I’m sure you’re going to see more of it in 2018!
...

Thanks, Ron! Finding the background at a craft store is cool, but I was enjoying an image of you staying up late on New Year's Eve piecing wood blocks together into a pleasing pattern!

Thanks GT, I'm going to carry them tomorrow too, but as I'm going for a hike I'm going to take this vintage Carl Schlieper too



Unfortunately, it'll have to be a short hike due to SWCBBTGHFV That's She Who Can't Be Bothered To Get Her Flu Vaccination!

Handsome hiking knife, Jack, and impressive (and jocular) acronym!

It was both productive and frustrating, as such things often are. I can confidently put a toothy, working edge on a knife. I'm trying to learn the next step of polished, refined edges. Results are mixed.

Since I'm bumming around the house today, I'm sticking with my MJ fixed blade today, in the pocket in a homemade dangler sheath:
View attachment 822225 View attachment 822226

Keen sharpening story and kickin' dangler, r8shell!

Here's how it came out. ...

By the way, I've had it in my pocket all day, so it definitely fits in this thread.

That's a laudable color match, Ace!! (The jigging kind of gives away the knife's origins, though. )

Haha. Well, since they got new ones for Christmas, and the old ones slept outside for years, where flooded in 2016, they where shot. So I cut em up to fit in the garbage can.

Thanks for the explanation, SVTFreak ; I was afraid you were turning into a mean old man!

Starting the year with a pair very similar to the knives from my youth.

View attachment 822321

Notable pair there, @Grateful !

...

Oui-Oui on the Douk-Douk, flatblackcapo !

There you see it: spontanous love doesn´t last. Only one day made me change my favourite But someday I will return to my Schrade.
It´s a wonderfull 85 that you carry, this would be one for me, too

Liebe ist seltsam, Dirk! Thanks for the kind words about my 85!

View attachment 822485

I will be carrying one of these Red Bones today.

You have the rojo mojo, Leslie!! Which one did you pick?

I do not know why, but it must be in order of the advertised signatures!!!

Quite reasonable conjecture, Senhor Pinto!

Change of direction today. RR locking Mini Barlow in Armour Hide Bone. Very tight construction here, NO blade play in any direction, impressive.

Pleasant Barlows, Will! What does RR call the covers of the top one?

Higonokami & Pioneer were with me today... wonderful setup

@Humppa , zwei prächtige schwarze Taschenmesser!!

Enjoying mid-70s government office decor and carrying my Fantoni Dweller, the only knife I have that's a better slicer than an Opinel View attachment 822517

That's high praise, Heath!

Splendid, Steve!

...
- went out for a hike and it rained all day!

Sorry to hear that it rained on your parade, Jack! Fine trio of knives, though!

Terrific reminder of simpler times, Gev!

...

Quality quartet to start the New Year, Jer!!

Ron, it's all your fault. Way to go!!

View attachment 822685

That 23 Jack looks like quite a handful, Jeff!

... I dipped my blade in, so to speak, during a recent waterfowl hunting venture where we prepared a beef stew in a cast iron oven over a grill. ...

Looks tasty, Stuart! (But why BEEF stew when you have fresh fowl?)

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Camillus muskrat:

Big Knife of the Week is a Buck 4" clip/spey toothpick:

Even with all the hard wear you put on it , it is still a very nice looking knife my friend . I would have carried that one every day too Short Timer ..

Harry

 

[flatblackcapo]

I sometimes have to do that too Three passes with a Feather usually sees me through



Thanks a lot Barrett, I like the Unicorn Ivory #25 a lot my friend Same set-up again today, but with a vintage Carl Schlieper added - went out for a hike and it rained all day!

I always enjoy seeing that Schlieper, Jack. I like the looks of that sheath too.

Lookin' well loved.

Both very nice but the grain on your #78 is AMAZING

My smooth bone #78 for today's carry.

Nice looking 7, Paul. Did you do the EO notch?

Oui-Oui on the Douk-Douk, flatblackcapo !

Haha, thanks, Gary. I always like reading your comments.

I had these two hard workers with me today.

 

[Hickory n steel]

Some nice blades your carrying there GT
Muskrats aren't for me but that camillus is just plain cool.


Now im definitely going to carry the 119 for a while just like I did the Grohmann and Wostenholm for the rest of last year, but it sure won't be forever probably just through this month which is my birth month.

That's what its all about !! So many memories permeating that beauty Its got soul. I'd love to listen to its stories

Peanut of the Week is a Case stag Peanut:
- GT

True, doesn't have that vintage look. I've been thinking I need something small in stag, maybe like your peanut or... the Wharncliffe tiny trapper!

 

[Half/Stop]

Very, very nice!

Thanks!

Beauteous bone Barlow, Ron!

Ron, it's all your fault. Way to go!!

Thanks Gary!

Thanks Harry! I actually carried it everyday for the first 25 or so years. How in the world did we ever get by like that! Since then, like so many others, it gets it turn in the rotation.

Thanks Gev! I missed your post while I was typing another quote! It's got soul and it's got stories! I carried it today for a certain reason. I won't go into that tonight but I promise I will elaborate more by the end of the month my friends!

 

[paulhilborn]

Nice looking 7, Paul. Did you do the EO notch?

I had these two hard workers with me today.

Thanks my friend and I did put the EO in. It just proved useful yesterday as I had no issues opening it with my leather gloves on

Great combo and I'm guessing that great utility fixed blade is of your own making?

 

[Gevonovich]

Please do and I look forward to it. Thanks
