What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[bonzodog]

 

[Hickory n steel]

This one landed today, I'm quite pleased, I wanted something a little larger than a peanut but not by much and I love the contours of the handle. Both blades arrived with a sharp toothy edge, Case model 6208, this one has a tang stamp date of 2017 so relatively new. And I sharpened her up tonight both blades took an exceptional edge, again, quite pleased

I just got a 2017 red bone BSA 6208 yesterday, and it's a great knife.
If I was going to buy one for myself I'd probably go with something like yours and in CV, but it really can't complain about it.

Btw how's the pull on your pen blade ?
Mine Is just a tiny bit hard for it's size.

If there was a 1-10 for small secondary blades, without anything but a Vic pocket pal to compare it to I'd put it at probably an 8 when it could stand to be a 7 - 7½.

Thanks Jack! I think it may just be the angle of that photo, but GT has me curious so I am going to measure it lol . Great pics, I would love to read your write up on these knives.

Carrying the Joker again today.

Thanks Tom, when I used to post more threads here, I did a write-up on a similar knife, the Aitor Castor Pequena, though all the photos are gone now I'm afraid. It was Aitor's discontinuation of this knife, which set me looking for alternatives, and led me to the Joker That's strange what happened to your photo there, it's an outstanding pic

The Dog Soldier ( a NYKCo dogleg..one of my favorites ) spirit was needed

Good to see the Dog Soldier Gev

Thank you, my friend. Looks like you have all of your food prep needs covered , very nice duo today.

...


I am going with the Hound Dog and the Lamb today.

Thankd Dylan, the Hound Dog and the Lamb go well together

Claude Dozorme friction folder. Sheath of moose leather, made by me.

How do you find that one Mr Finn, I have thought of picking one up several times?

It is a Two TEWS Thursday today . Sorry about using some old pics





Harry

Looking good Harry

These two for me today, old Alfred Blackwell, newish Arthur Wright

Harry

Adore the radiant red sawcut, Harry!

I hear tell there might be some more 77 Barlow’s in the future! That won’t make me mad!

Can't have too much of a good thing!

Thanks, GT! I can't lie, I won't miss the phrase "It's a dry heat." Sure, there's some truth to it, but it doesn't make you feel any better on those 115°+ summer days. Dry or not, that's just hot!! As for Minnesota phrases, I figure I'll just rewatch Fargo a couple times to familiarize myself with the local dialect, dontcha know?

I like that Joker, the olive wood looks great! The patina signature is a nice touch, too.

How's your daughter liking the snow, Barrett? When our kid was little, I was the designated "snow parent" and "swimming parent", even though neither winter activities nor swimming were favorite leisure pastimes for me. But our daughter had her own tiny shovel and loved to "help" me clear driveway and sidewalks, and now she still sometimes helps me with snow removal.

Thanks for the Joker comments, especially concerning my "mustard monogram". Now that I know that the techniques works, I need to get an applicator with a finer point and try some "art projects" on carbon steel blades.

Thanks, GT. The knife is 5 3/8" closed, the clip is 4 1/4", the long spear is 3 1/8". Love that red Cadet!!
- Stuart

Thanks for the data, Stuart. I sometimes think I should pick up a folding hunter to represent the pattern, but they're so big that I can't imagine carrying one, even occasionally. Thanks for the Cadet comment; red Alox is very pleasing to the eyes (and soul) IMHO!

...
Thank you, GT! Only the very best . You have a terrific working man's trio today!

I started the day with these two today. But then the 56 came in and it replaced the 78 for the remainder of the day.

Thanks, Dylan. You have a threesome to cherish, too! Trading in a smooth bone single bladed 78 for a 2-bladed jigged bone 56 is a trade I'd make in a heartbeat!

...
Thanks Gary! I can definitely recommend the 82 Dixie as a terrific all around Stockman. Three excellent blade choices. That Boker Electrician knife is a dandy. I have one of those with smooth Delrin in one of my rolls. I bought it in the 70’s. American and German Bokers were quite common here back then.

Yeah, that Dixie definitely deserves your devotion, Ron!

How ‘bout a big ol chunk of smooth worn black walnut for Wood Wednesday?

WW!! That venerable knife looks enormous, Jeff!

Just like we all thought ELEMENO was the letter between k and p.

Nice story on aquiring that handsome knife.

...
Beauty in utility!

Thanks, Jeff! I do have a "thang" for work knives.

Thanks as always for your comments and nice trio

301 today

Thanks, Steve. Splendid classic stockman you've posted!

Things have been kind of crazy this last week. This whittler always makes my crazy weeks better.

Is the whittler more a psychiatrist or more a pharmaceutical??

Baking during the storm.

Dschal, you post many attractive outdoor pics of your knives, but it's the photos with baked goods that I enjoy the most!

For wooden wednesday

Grand grain on that one, lambertiana!

Many thanks Mr. GT, it is indeed a fabulous knife and will become my daily companion!!!

Today is my pseudo psyentist, (the Ps are psylent ) a gift from Jack (yablanowitz) This seems to tick all the right boxes for daily indoor chores and because of the magnifyin' glass it's become a favorite flea market, yard sale knife, great for readin' tang stamps.

...

I'd have a hard time deciding what 4 (or 6 or 8) tools to include on a "dream" custom SAK! Can't argue with any of your choices, Ted!

Mixing it up today, with something a little older, not too fancy. 60 year old M.O.T.S. is holding up well.

Love it!! r8shell, I see your clip MOTS and I'll raise my spear MOTS :

...
Thanks a lot pal I always enjoy seeing that pic of your Cadet

I'm carrying my ebony Lambsfoot today, and thought I'd crash the Joker party (always meant to do a right-up on these great little knives)

Thanks, Jack. Your choices are impressive, as usual!

My Churchill has become my "go to" knife. Slim, useful, and fun to look at in the light.

Sounds like an apt description of both knife and book JTB_5 !!

View attachment 844680 Carrying the ancient ebony today. One of my favorite TCs.

That's a looker, JB!! Interesting, unusual ebony covers!!

Needed a little sunshine in my pocket today. Hope it's a good one for all!
View attachment 844688

"A little sunshine" seems like an understatement! What a sensational knife!!

The Remington (a 1980's re-issue, but not a Bullet replica) that I'm carrying today is a handy item for those of us who are bird hunters, waterfowl or upland. It is an R-2 Waterfowl knife and can handle most any shotgun hunting chores: a Turkish clip blade for gutting/skinning, a serrated sheepfoot blade for cutting wing/leg joints, a choke tube tool (12 and 20 gauges), and a punch for pushing out/in receiver pins. At 4.25" closed, it needs a sturdy pocket, of which my hunting coats have several.

What a fascinating, specialized knife!! Thanks for posting all these gems from your "archives", Stuart!

Some of you know I'm kind of a canoesseur, and my rotation schedule for this week has me carrying THREE of them!

The pen is a stouter pull than the main, I’d put it about a 6, with the main about 4-5. But not a nail breaker kinda stout.

It is a Two TEWS Thursday today . Sorry about using some old pics





Harry

Always great to see those TEW's on here. The covers are quality

I enjoyed reading your comments about American football, donn; thanks. I found Mr. Timberlake no more tolerable at 8:15pm , although my daughter was singing along happily with most of his songs.
I was inspired by a pic of Jack Black's Joker to purchase my Joker when I visited Spain. It wasn't until quite a bit later that I realized my model is substantially larger at 4.5" closed. How long is the model you and Jack have?
Must be hard to keep that Vic down on the Farm after the incredible vistas it has experienced traveling the countryside with you!


My Alox of the Week is a red Cadet:

My non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Vic Explorer:

My Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Boker USA electrician (thanks, Mark):

- GT

Sorry for the late reply 5K, I was on a pub crawl yesterday celebrating a mates birthday.
Yeah, I can't imagine Justin Timberlake being tolerable at any time really . I hope your daughter liked the game as much as the half-time entertainment
So that Joker is bigger. I can't speak for the Joker Jack has but this is mine:

A great selection of SAK's and none SAK's you have especially that Boker. My Farmer sees very little action but is my carry knife on my walks. More because it's stainless than for any other reason. Here in the UK we've little need for fixed blades or other large knives, as we've hardly got the vast tractless wilderness to get lost in

Cool pic Donn

Thanks Jack, it was off the top of Win Hill.

Love the grain of the wood on those covers on your Joker there

Pootling about the house today.

 

[r8shell]

Love it!! r8shell, I see your clip MOTS and I'll raise my spear MOTS :

Nice!

I'm going a little fancier for Friday with a bit of real M.O.P.

 

[Travman]

Two doglegs. One small, one medium sized.

 

[JTB_5]

Today's Friday, so I'm getting jiggy wit it.

 

[Pt-Luso]

One more day, one more trip, with this wonder that in good time came to rest at my hands.
I hope I'm not boring, but for me, this is indeed the KNIFE!!!

 

[HFinn]

How do you find that one Mr Finn, I have thought of picking one up several times?

From Lamnia.fi. They seem to have it in selection ready to ship. Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by telling you this. I have had this for some time now, it is a very usefull blade.

Mine is the same size as yours Donn I think they do it in three sizes, and if I'm not mistaken, we have the smallest size, and GT has the medium

Another great pic my friend, what was the wind like up there? Thanks for the compliment on my Joker

Thanks for the info I can get hold of one easily enough, and have looked at it several times on one of the UK sites I visit, but worry that, due to my irrational dislike of stainless, it may end up just being another knife in a drawer! I may order one anyway though

 

[HST]

Good Morning!

 

[Half/Stop]

Can't have too much of a good thing!

Absolutely my friend! Love that fleet of Canoes!

I’m going with some color this morning!
