What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[arizonaranchman]

My trusty old #55 has been in the pocket daily for the past two months. This was my very first GEC and remains among my top 3 all-time favs.

 

[Old Engineer]

Two exceptional knives, Harry !!!

Thank you very much my friend !!! Much appreciated .

Harry

 

[CVamberbonehead]

Today I have a Case small stockman in navy blue bone. It makes a nice companion to the big ugly tactical knife in my other pocket.

 

[arizonaranchman]

A Zippo is also something that’s always in my pocket.

 

[SVTFreak]

These two with me at work, out making sure the rail road ready for the nightly switch.

Old Imperial punched stockman hit the trails with me today.

 

[5K Qs]

Very cool triplets. I wonder how many of those they made.
I bought one a few years ago at a pawn shop, and after we drove off and I peeled the price sticker off, I saw that they'd positioned that sticker carefully to hide a crack in the bone. It was still usable, and we had to be somewhere, so we didn't turn around and go back. It annoyed me every time I looked at it though, so ended up trading it. I learned my lesson: always peel up and look underneath stickers before buying knives at pawn shops.

This was quoted in my post yesterday, but I didn't comment about it.??. Very interesting story, r8shell; I'd be an avid reader of a thread about what folks have learned about buying knives in a variety of situations! This old dog needs to learn some new tricks!

Outstanding stag on an amazing knife, Mike!! What IS that???

... I am breaking my barlow binge for Stagurday and am carrying this 1979 Kissing Crane large (4.5") cattle knife. ...

- Stuart

That's too big for me to carry, but it surely is a desirable knife, Stuart!! Maybe it "carries smaller" due to the rounded bolsters and slender profile??

Thanks GT! That's a great looking Sowbelly you're totin'

Thanks, Mark.

Northwoods Bullet Jack for Stagurday

WW, that sublime stag knife sure is an attention-grabber!!

Lotta functionality in 3 small packages!

Love the bone on that sodbuster there, and that horn is real nice too.

Thank you, sir!

Carrying one of my favorites this weekend, #15 Farm Boy in Antique Yellow jigged bone.

As you wish, Barrett! Great to see that one again!

...Was able to land a 78 in Ironwood and it is a real treat. Many thanks to @Leslie Tomville for making it available to me.

...

Congrats on more gorgeous wood, Dylan!!

Well, the steel is obviously cheap. The one pictured snaps into open position and shut, but is sloppy in the middle. There are some rough edges here and there. BUT... I think the set of three was all of $15 or so. It came in a set with a spear point and sheepsfoot. The wood used on the handles looks pretty nice and for the price, I wasn't disappointed. At the very least they're not bad to look at.

Thanks for the review.

Life is rough with no health insurance! haha.
Seriously, He is a hunter and a knife lover so we get to talk knives when he isn't working on me.
Gary, thanks for the additional pic of the Sowbelly.
I like the blade shapes on that one.
...
I ended up using the HJ's punch as a scribe today, it worked pretty well.

I enjoy your "red wheel series" of pics, FBC.

Today a Colonial NRA Jack knife ,and a Old Timer 895 Serpentine Stockman
...

That's a snazzy stockman, deltaboy!

Thanks...It's sometimes in there with that microwaveable psuedo-popcorn. My daughter will not grow up deprived!

I'm not sure I'm going to get much rest today, got a heap of stuff to do in the house, including putting up some shelves and coat-racks, which I thought these two might help out with. Have a good Sunday folks

Great electrician there, not a pattern I've ever come across over here.

No Jack I just put a pie in each pocket. Didn't fall over once...
Yesterdays:

Glad to start positive rumors about you, donn! Another marvelous meat pie, too!

... This Remington R1613 Fisherman should be able to handle the 4-6 pound test monofilament and fluorocarbon line (and I have a spare, just in case). The two were made by Camillus in 1997.

Thanks, GT!
Yes sir, a Bulldog. Still trying to familiarize myself with their history. From what I've read so far, it appears maybe this one was made after Parker took over the brand, but still using original factory parts from Solingen?
I do love the coloring!

 

[Half/Stop]

What a stunner, Ron!!

Thanks my friend!

Hi Gevo

 

[Nature Boy]

Thanks, GT! It’s the non-mark side of this Lloyd trapper I got off of the exchange not too long ago.
Since I’m picturing it here, it just makes sense for me to vary it tomorrow.

Thanks, Gary. It's amazing what old junk makes a good background, haha. Cool Toothpick and I like that upcycled baseball mitt pocket sheath. Did you make it ?

Kutmaster stockman in the pocket today.

No, it carries "large" though not "heavy", and I have a couple pairs of pants that have multiple large pockets.

Beautiful knife, Stuart!! Technical question: what's the difference between a "Fisherman" and a toothpick?

Practically, I don't think there is any difference (much as some non-serpentine cattle knives are marketed as stockman knives, which should be serpentine). There are fisherman knives that are not toothpicks, but they are usually fixed blades. A toothpick that is marketed for fishing (usually with stainless steel blades/body) is dubbed a "fisherman". More technically, B. Levine categorizes both as within the clasp knife group. He denominates the toothpicks as "ticklers" and usually with a single blade (a long thin clip), but sometimes with a second blade. "Fish" knives are "ticklers" that have a scaler edge on the spine of the main or have a second long thin blade with a scaler edge and a dehooker tip. I think the bottom line is that, of all the folding knife patterns, the toothpick/tickler's long thin clip lends itself to fish cleaning/filleting more readily.
