What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[peanutsxx]

A Boker trapper my cousin gave me a while ago.

 

[Pàdruig]

These two today. I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

this one usually sits on my desk, today I slipped it into the watch pocket after touching up the edge.

Jigging is so sweet. What's not to like?

I haven’t carried this black pioneer for quite some time. It languished in my truck console for months. That is until this beautiful ebony TC found its way to me. They make an excellent pair in my humble opinion.

Excellent knives posted as usual everyone. I’ve been a little out of touch but slowly making my way back around.

 

[rockman0]

Thanks Stuart, it is sweet jigging, I don't believe there is better but it's all personal preference and I can't get this knife out of my pocket.

I carried a combo exactly like that for a year or more and I agree that they make an excellent pair

 

[5K Qs]

I want to see more of that knife...open...man o man. I have a big want for a locking knife

Gev, I ordered some Rough Riders the other day, and recalled that you had admired my lockback canoe, so I ordered one for you. Please check your profile page.

Today with Case...

Stellar stag knife, Senhor Pinto! (This is the first time I've noticed that European keyboard differs from US version. )

View attachment 823084 My trusty yellow Peanut as usual...

That is some much mellowed yellow there, Jeff! Glad you got the photos working.

Great song...you’re killing it today with the John Prine lyrics!

Some of my favorite music from my impressionable youth, alongside my favorite knife from those days. ...

View attachment 823157

Its all Mr. Prine and his genius. I must have listened to 20 of his songs today. I get a hankering from time to time and must cue him up. God speed John.
...

Ratbert, congrats on digging up your nostalgic knife! You and Gev's Prine discussion had me looking at my old LPs. I only have the first one and the third one (Sweet Revenge), but I agree with your opinion 100%; EVERY cut is memorable!

Sharpened this one up the other day. Definitely not my favorite blade style to sharpen.

Cool and curvaceous, FBC!

Camillus-manufactured A.G. Premium Scout in stag today. No etch on the blade.

WW, Buzz!

This pair with me today. Both Ebony, both dramatically different.

We had a nice dry spell but the rains have returned...

...
LOL! Thanks GT, that's Leeds Bread Co-op White Sourdough

Packing these two today

Dazzling dark duos, Dylan(x2) and Jack!
Jack, I was referring to the background behind the OTHER lambsfoot; some kind of intriguing coastal vista, perhaps from your recent trip to Whitby?

Two new arrivals in the post , first a Chestnut bone peanut perfect F&F straight in my watch pocket then a GEC #66 Calf Roper in Ebony just about the perfect EDC to tackle most tasks I am likely to come across in a days wandering.

Congrats on 2 new beauties!

Impressive Imperial and classy Case, Steve!

5K Qs
Gary you outdid yourself. At least two pages of the thesaurus. The Saldana was deserving.

Thanks, Alan. It's fun to play around with words if I have the time.

Sensational stag sowbelly, johnny!

5K Qs Aspiring to alluring alliteration, I sit stumped and stupefied following your eloquent elucidation of your views. Again, fine knives, and I can see why the Colonial may have sparked an interest in traditional knives, specifically folders.
- Stuart

It's fun, ain't it, Stuart? Thanks for the comments.

The Ivory Bone #78 seems hard to shake of late

Make sure you hang onto that white 78 in this snowy weather, Paul!

I had these two yesterday and again today.

Binary bone bonanza, Ron!

Today I have my new to me Case Red Bone and my 78 .
...


Harry

Congrats on the new finds, Harry!! The checkered bone on your 78 is wonderful!

Thanks, GT (and Dylan! and Stuart!)! I love the pattern on the old Alox Vics. That Cadet looks wonderful.
...

Thanks, Shawn.

Thanks, I'll tell you a little something about that Powderhorn. A few years back I was having discussions with a custom maker, and I wanted him to make a knife like this one for me...then I realized, why was I being so crazy? I already had the knife that I was looking for, why have a custom maker waste his gift recreating what I already had in my hand! It was a moment of awakening and a little embarrassing for me personally, having wasted some of his time with discussions...

Please tell me a little bit about this Alox Knife you have shown us, is it a Vic? age? It looks pretty nice.

Interesting story about your Powderhorn, Duane. The Alox knife is a Victorinox Cadet II, a confusing name since the model came before the current Cadet. I don't know anything about dates though. The Cadet 2 appeals to me because of the "ribbed Alox" and the pen blade instead of a nail file.

I'm taking a couple of elder cut-ups from my cutlery collection out for a brisk walk before lunch on what looks to be a bracing day. A Case 35 jack (1940-1964) and a Queen 38 folding hunter (1931-1955).

- Stuart

Couple of venerable, but vibrant, examples there, Stuart!

Such beautiful carry knives - some nice steel around this place! I normally carry a Case 6318 everyday so not much reason to post the same pattern on a regular basis but today I wanted to carry something different, pulled this Ulster Barlow off my display shelf - it nestles nicely into the front jean pocket of my pants. OH

Bewitching bone on that Barlow, OH!

Coffee/Tea stained Mini Trapper today (along with the Peanut, SAK, and Bluegill)

That amber mini trapper looks phenomenal with the dye job, Shawn!!!

Today I’m carrying a Midnight Special Lambsfoot and. Red Bone Special Case! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Colorful horny/boney couple you have there, Ron!

Euro Knife of the Week for me is a Spanish sodbuster jr from JJ Martinez:

Stockman this week is a Case sowbelly (thanks, Ron):

Canoe of the Week is a stallion Uncle Henry:

- GT

 

[Wurrwulf]

Thanks, GT. Good on you for the gift to Gev!

Do you happen to know what wood is on that JJ Martinez? It looks a little dark for the Olive wood I see on many of your wonderful Spanish knives.

 

[flatblackcapo]

As always, a John Primble congress pattern,

Gary, even though the congress pattern isn't really my thing, That one right there is very very cool!

Cool and curvaceous, FBC!

Thanks, Wrights did a smash up job on this one.

The ol' burnt MAM gets carried a lot and not posted very much. She wants her day in the spot light too.

Shawn, I'm quite sure that knife has bubinga covers. Here's a link to a website that has that model.

Churchill today.

 

[Duckdog]

5K Qs Thanks, GT, for the kind comments. That Case sowbelly is a shining star. Very nice canoe, too.
- Stuart

 

[Planterz]

One of my favorites

I can't imagine why...

 

[Jack Black]

These two today. I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Very generous of you my friend Doh! Yes, Whitby! Thank you for the kind words GT, that's a fantastic threesome you're showing there

I always enjoy seeing your working knives Kevin

Hope everyone has a very enjoyable Sunday I have a pile of chores to do this morning, and shouldn't really be lollygagging here just yet, but you know how it is Got these two in my pockets
