What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Carboniferous]

This Queen #06 again today:

A couple of issues that I didn't notice immediately, they certainly make this a less than ideal example but I can't say I'm bothered enough to get rid of the knife. I'd have to hope to get one for a reasonable price at auction and hope it didn't have similarly bad (or worse) issues, and they don't harm the function of the knife. This knife is from 2003, so QC certainly wasn't perfect before the DFC era:

0.35 mm gap, enough to catch a fingernail

Imperfect cover fit, enough of a gap to squeeze closed with finger pressure. I'll just have to chalk the gaps up to "character" I guess.

I love it when the shield is inlaid like this. It looks like the stag grew over shield. It reminds me of when old trees have grown over metal signs or barb wire fences.

Got a new Enigma in today and sharpened it and a few others up. Really inpressed with how thin they're ground; sporting a 15dps bevel with 0.2mm behind the edge and 4dps main grind.

I realized I hadn't carried George lately, so he's supervising some fettling on an ole Kabar. Don't worry-No power tools will touch him. That's for fixing poor Kabar's broken blade tips.

For Stagurday, I'm taking a break from my recent Remington rodeo (alas, there is no stag in my Bullet replica collection). Instead, I'm pocketing a couple of old, trusty companions: a Case 47 large stockman from 1940-1964 and a large trapper from 1965-1969. Luckily, I put on my pockety pants this morning.
