What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Duckdog]

On an overcast, mundane Monday, I decided to go with the flow and pick out a couple of knives that don't get to see the light (weak or not) of day very much. They are just "too ordinary" to show off to my buddies, though they do cut what i need them to cut without protest. They did not get much love before I got them (nor much since). I guess we all have a few like this. In any event, I'm letting these two out today. A Fight'n Rooster half hawkbill from 1977-1981 and an Imperial whittler from 1936-1952.

p.s. My goal is to live to celebrate 150 years - or die trying. Right now, I'm happy being vertical.

Happy Birthday to you! Hope it's a good one!

Yes indeed are good knives, as the specimens here exposed...

I couldn't Help but comment on these, to me, fascinating examples of these humble knives. I really like the blade stamps and unique handle work of each one. These two really caught my eye and attention for more than a glance and a like.

This old Camillus beauty today. It's looking pretty darned good after 75 years.

This one got put to the stones this weekend and has been riding along for a few days.

I really like this pattern, very close is size/feel of the #77 in hand.

Thank you very much my friend, lovely ebony and ivory combo there

I like the contrasting colors almost as much as the matching covers you've displayed recently, Dylan! Thanks for the compliment on my knives.

Thank you, gents, for the compliments. I hope the Monday is treating you well so far.

Thank you very much my friend

My big and small Lambsfoot combo today

Wonderful combo today, Jack. That stag is truly something else.

Happy birthday! I hope you have a most excellent celebration.


Carrying these two today. Representative of my two favorite blade shapes and probably my ideal working size.

I'm carrying the 35, and the two Case knives stay on my desk, because they were gifted to me by students I've taught.

Happy Birthday @r8shell !

Tell me more about the Lloyd, please.

 

[sitflyer]

Tell me more about the Lloyd, please.

the Lloyd came to me from an epic GAW right here hosted by Chief , it was the last of the three knives offered to be chosen by the winners. It has ivory covers , is 5-7/8" open, with a half stop. It amazes me still the preciseness of its build, with the spring perfectly flush in all three positions. I don't recall the blade steel.

 

[joeradza]

Thanks. I've recently bought several of John Lloyd's knives and that one is awful nice (as they all are). No surprise coming from Chief either. The steel on mine are 52100.

 

[Chief]

sitflyer Duane, that one is 52100. John Lloyd does a great job heat treating it, my son uses (abuses is more like it) one of John's 52100 folders.
