What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Steel_Drake]

Moki Large Fish Owl came in and I put it through my usual process of lowering the edge bevel angle to 10 degrees finished on a DMT XXF and then stropped on a 6 micron diamond lapping film on balsa wood to create a convex microbevel. Their AUS-8 takes a very nice shine, I must say.

Whoa!! What??

New knife dance!

Watch out! It's a trap(per)!!
Congrats on a handsome knife, FBC!
Looks like you have an impressively-rigorous sharpness-testing regimen in which you stab rusty tailpipes repeatedly before assessing apple-slicing capabilities!

My Euro Knife of the Week is a Spanish folder my daughter bought for me in Toledo, Spain:

My Stag/Horn Knife of the Week happens to also be a Spanish knife, a JJ Martinez stag navaja de campaña:

And my Free Choice Knife of the Week is a big French folder, a Cognet l'ecureuil:

Shhhhhh, you are gonna void my warranty!

Superb selection of top notch knives, Gary.

Rockin' the ebony Lambsfoot today.

 

[ArchiveMoto]

Nice. #54 big jack?
Honorable mention to the classic old oil can!

It is a 78 American Jack, and the can keeps my old Indian Scout friendly.

Yesterday's carry with TC Barlow in peach seed jigged bone

 

[Duckdog]

This little Queen 26 packs a lot of cutting in a small package

That is a mighty fine looking knife, lambertiana, Sublime.

Doesn't everyone just send YOU the shield-less knives?! That looks like a great combination Rachel

I do seem to accumulate shield-less knives.

LOL. I just had a vision of hundreds of lost shields doomed to wander in search of a knife.

Ha, me too. I've got to do a better job of checking the bottom of the old knife bin, maybe that's where they are.

That’s a 68 Premium Stockman, right? I have the exact same knife- but the shield hasn’t fallen off yet.
Carried it just the other day...

It's a 64 Junior Premium Stockman. If yours is Delrin too, just give that shield time to make a break for it.

One of my favourite carries. Best to all. MJ.

 

[Pt-Luso]

That little stag lockback is indeed supremely lovely, Senhor Pinto!!

Many thanks Mr. GT...

 

[Pt-Luso]

One of my favourite carries. Best to all. MJ.

"MJ71", I totally agree with you, I also love mine these are extraordinary knives!!!

 

[5K Qs]

I'm into the singles today, got the A. Wright & Sons Lambsfoot I won from bonzodog in a GAW a week or so ago. It's a piece of engineering art. Not a proud piece anywhere, the bolster, scales, liners, pins and back spring feel like they were all hand fit.

Congrats on that sweet stag lambsfoot, Ted!

Today it's my $7 yard sale special

WW!! That was $7 well spent!!

I've started straying from the Victorinox Recruit at work and have been alternating between these two. I keep the SAK close by for nasty chores though.

But when I come home I keep grabbing the 881. Quite honestly, I could probably be content with a SAK, a 340T and an 881 as the only 3 in the rotation, but where's the fun in that??

Terrific trio, @315 ! A Böker Barlow and an amber bone Case canoe are both near the top of my "Knives to Buy in 2018" list, and it looks like a Schrade stockman like yours ought to go onto the list. too!! (The 881 is probably a bit harder to find than the other two, though.)

Do you mean somewhere there's a ShieldForums website where shield collectors discuss just shields? I wouldn't be surprised, there's something for everyone on the interwebs. Shield replacement might be a good topic for a thread, though. I've fashioned replacement shields a few times, using thin metal sheet or piano key veneers.

I was looking at that Camillus yesterday, thinking about cutting a new shield for it out of copper.


Today's carry:View attachment 839429 View attachment 839430

The Guardian Lambsfoot is in fine fettle, r8shell!

Today's Bullet knife carry is a Remington Woodsman (R4353) replicated by Camillus in 1985, as with almost all of the other Bullets I am carrying from this group, the blades are 440C and the scales are Delrin. These knives are solidly built.
...

I now see that I should have wiped the blades before taking the picture, as well as before I put the knife away. Sorry for the smears.
- Stuart

Cool and unusual blade combo on your Woodsman, Stuart! Is that classified as a moose pattern?

Still running cattle today, Gev? What a handsome old knife!!

...
An excellent assortment of knives today, GT!

I am carrying something a bit different today.

Thanks, Dylan. Lovely pairing of ram's horn and red bone!

...
Thanks for your kind words my friend, you are very kind Aye, souvenirs of Scotland - and I always end up giving them away to Scotsmen! I love your three European folders, great pic of your Squirrel

I have had my 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot with me today

Thanks for the supportive comments, Jack. Your colorful Guardians Lambsfoot is the leader of the pack!

Camillus #14 medium jack and of course the peanut (not pictured). Apologies for shameless (and poor) attempt at imitation @Whetstone39.

Nice knife, and flattering imitation photo! (Tom always goes with two knives on the rocks, so get your peanut in there! )

Some nice butter smooth Ebony for today!

Dignified and desirable dark duo, Ron!!

Three today.

Tremendous trio, Jeff! Amazing amount of cutlery variety represented there!

...
Thanks, Gary! Your Cognet l'ecureuil is a sturdy looking knife and you did a superb job photographing it!
...
Speaking of ebony, I carried my Huckleberry today.

I appreciate your remark on the quality of my Squirrel photo (since I often can't tell if my pics are decent or not ). Your Huckleberry is so simple, yet elegant!

Ebony today.

Praiseworthy pair right there!!

My 77's Rack is missing a couple since I last posted it . I traded @Half/Stop Ron a couple last August .

Thanks for the status report on your 77 Barlow rack, Harry. Are you actively seeking to fill it up again?

Shhhhhh, you are gonna void my warranty!

Superb selection of top notch knives, Gary.

Rockin' the ebony Lambsfoot today.

Thanks, FBC.
Your ebony lambsfoot is majestic!

Carryin' thread Graeff Schmidt & Son's Jack knife in smooth bone that I rescued. Always wish I woulda took a pic of it before I saved it. A pic of it covered in latex paint so bad you couldn't see the blades let alone open it. When I finally got it open it looked like the original owner used the large spear blade to lever open the paint cans takin' 3 large scallop like chips outta the main blade. After hours of cleaning and restoration work I found the chunk taken outta the scale on the mark side but the knife came out very knice otherwise, took a keen edge after reprofiling the blade and still had the original walk and talk. Even after years of abuse and neglect this knife came back from the dead. I like to throw it in my pocket occasionally, it's certainly people friendly and makes a great worry stone, enjoy.

 

[screened porch]

Nice job on that.

Good Morning!



Great knives everyone. I’m changing up today and I look forward to it. My new knife a week rotation makes me really use that knife.

Can I go from a NF B. to a TC B.?

I sure can.

T thefrank MJ71 Pt-Luso

It’s as if y’all read my mind, with your knife choices today. I’m switching to my Peach Seed TC B., for my next weekly rotation.
