What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

If you have any before shots, I’d love to see them- what did he do?
I don't have any good pics of the before, but, it was a blade delete. He removed the spear blade and spring making it a single blade knife. It really cut down on weight and made it nice and slim. You can probably find good pics in the GEC 81 thread here on the forum. Thanks!
 
I see your R60/5 and raise you my R75/6.

HST I was hungry before I read your post, now I am starving this morning :)

Mine today, a Joker (thanks Jack) with a forced strawberry patina and a beer scout. Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for the kind comments, Dean. :) My poor focus in the photo makes it nearly impossible to read the tang stamp, but the rosewood knife is actually an A Wright & Son lambsfoot that my wife and daughter bought for me in York, England. (It was my Knife of 2017, too.)

Big "doh!" on my part. Great looking A Wright & Son knife, Gary! Wish I'd said that before. :)
 
Opinel #6

Welcome to the forum.

Your username is a flashback to my childhood. I used to think it was all one word just like your username. I didn't realize it was actually "Bow and Arrow" until I was like 6 years old. I even had a toy bow and arrow set that my Grandma gave me and I still thought I was playing with a Bowenaro.

@5K Qs Thanks, GT, for commiserating with my compulsive cutlery collecting condition (hopefully now in remission). Your three picks were all fine, but I really like that UH stockman. A sweet knife. And it is my sadness to learn of the Joker knives now that they may be out of production. Maybe and Opinel in olive would suffice (uh-oh, it's happening, again).

We have a cold drizzle/freezing rain today in my neck of Northern Virginia, making picture taking a dubious endeavor. Regardless, I am hanging with Old Crafty and Little Catty today, so I did the best that I could under a cold covering. Crafty is from 1961-1970 and the little (2 5/8" closed) ebony Cattaraugus boys knife is from sometime between 1886-1963.

Where have you been hiding that beauty? Either that or I haven't been paying attention.

Thanks, Alan! I post pictures of it from time to time but not very often. I'm actually not carrying it today but it was one of only three knife photos that I have on my hard drive here at work and I wanted to keep it about knives.

When I bought that knife from Mike I had walked up to his table to talk to him about an order I had placed with him a couple weeks earlier. Thought I might as well look at his knives while I was at it.

As soon as that knife came out of the pocket slip I cancelled my order and bought it right then and there. That was three years ago and it's still one of my all time favorites. Thanks for noticing.
