What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Half/Stop]

Sweet Winchester! What's the model number of that one?
Btw, that well loved red bone Case and the 3907 Winchester is a great pair.

Thanks for the compliment! The pen knife is a 2903 from 1990. I just got the 3907 I have been admiring yours for some time now!

Yesterday took the new Desert Ironwood Whaler around coastal Georgia, conveniently in the watch pocket of my jeans. Today I carried the Cocobolo American Jack and my pocket felt empty.

Thanks, Ron.I am glad you found a 3907 it is one of my all time favorite knives. It is hard to resist those Winchesters!

HOLY SPICY TAMALE, that Whaler is awesome!
So is the 78 but the Whaler just kind of steals the show.

Kutmaster Peanut and a 8OT Stockman pre 1975!

Same today!

That picture makes the Whaler look simply cartoonish! What a crazy knife.

Today:

Tomorrow traveling for a few days to east, to summer cottage. These two will be included.

I’m not really sure if this belongs here or not. It’s traditional in the sense that it’s a little pen knife with a classic blade shape, but there’s nothing traditional about it’s 3G steel or bright purple/pink aluminium scales. Hope it doesn’t get too much stick

Welcome to The Porch, nice knife

Your welcome 5K. It's always lunchtime for me. I think I must be related to Scooby-Doo or something...





Thanks guys for posting some really stunning old knives recently. They've been a treat to admire, hope you've got more to come

-David.

LOL! Great-looking Lambsfoot David

I'm carrying these two today

The week Case XX continues, today with another mini trapper in red stag (my favorite), this one dated of 1980!!!

 

[Half/Stop]

Thanks, Ron.I am glad you found a 3907 it is one of my all time favorite knives. It is hard to resist those Winchesters!

Thanks! The 3907 is a sweet pattern!

 

[Half/Stop]

Jigged Wenge Wood for today! Y’all have a great day!

[5K Qs]

This week I continue with the Case mini trapper in stag, this one with blue scroll...

This mini trapper is from 1990, is 28 years old, according to the photo that now attached...

Another splendid Case stag mini trapper! Thanks for the age info on the previous one; I should have zoomed in on your original photo to discover the date myself.

Today I’m Totin a Case Red Bone 6207 from 1974 and a Winchester 3907 from 1991.

I like your cherry/coal color combo, Ron!

I think my picture spot isn’t going to work now that the leaves are on the trees. Dappled sunlight is not conducive for good pictures.

That's too bad, Travman ; that was a good spot.

Back to the old faithfuls today.

Lean, mean, and green!! (I like your new variation of the dragon pic in your sig, Joshua. )

I also agree with you about the alox SAK Pioneer. It is a great knife and probably would be my only knife if not for this collecting illness. My orange Pioneer is photographed with a Cadet my wife bought in the 80’s. Even though that knife has traveled worldwide, it has barely been used. Now it is old enough to be considered unique because of the ribbed pattern, pen blade as a secondary, and vintage shield.
...

Alluring Alox on your SAKs, Leslie!! I really like that pristine Cadet 2; I much prefer the pen blade to a nail file.

View attachment 901950

Ah, I thought it looked a little new to have already worn the shield smooth! I really like the smooth shield though.
I actually pocketed the same knife this morning except mine is only a year old.

Astounding, wonderfully worn Peanuts, @HeathH and @SadSappySucker !!

Great looking Case knives, GT, and that Rough Rider certainly appears to fit the "big knife" category. Man, that looks like a honking big piece of steel to carry around.

Dean and I were both carrying GEC #14 Barlows. Perspective of the camera lens, I suppose.

...
Thanks, Gary! I agree with Shaun's comment below. Perspective, the knives have less than 1/4 of an inch size difference. Both of your Case knives are superb!
...
I'm carrying my Blood Red TC today, or as GT christened it 'True Crimson.'

Thanks for the kind words and the info about the Barlows, Shawn & Dean. Dean, your True Crimson and TC sheath are Totally Cool!!

Thanks Gary! See more? Most certainly!

Thanks, Ron. Single spring? Closed length? (Location of "honey hole"?? )

...
Gary ( GT)

Thank you Sir !! Your two Cases look wondrous !! So many knives to covet...lol

Thanks, Gev. I'm always trying to balance my coveting with my enjoyment of what I already have.

Thank you for the kind words my friend Your Mini Copperhead is an interesting knife, it looks like a Wharncliffe pattern
...

Thanks, Jack. May I think of the Wharncliffe pattern as a kind of serpentine sleeveboard??

...
And thanks GT. I forgot but I believe the knife is dated around ‘36. The handles are celluloid.
The knife is in great shape, but it did see quite a bit of neglect along the way. At one point someone buffed the knife down, but the pitting remains from some serious rust.
I almost forgot to add that it’s always nice to see your swayback jack!

Thanks for the SBJ compliment and the Imperial info, Erik.

5K Qs Thanks, GT. Those Cases are both beautiful and I do like blue, but that sway back and it covers - wow....
- Stuart

Thanks GT! Love the bone on that swayback, it is just done right.

Thanks, Stuart & Josh.

Today's carry #54 Big Jack

You are on a creative roll, Ken!!

Yes it is a Mini-Copperlock GT 5K Qs with a custom shield installed by our very own Glennbad. It is the Rogers Jigged Walnut. Please take a look at the conversation I opened with you, and have a great day everyone!
...

Thanks for the message and for another photo of that handsome knife, Leslie!

Classy clip point on that knife, R Roscotanna , and welcome to The Porch!

Harry

Bad to the bone, Harry!!!

I'm a little late in the day posting, but I have been totin' something special (to me) today. I have the Queen City English Jack (1925-1932) in my pocket, as I like its feel and blades. The other, bigger knife, is special to me today. It was made by Joe Cordova (Bosque Farms, Albuquerque, NM), who first started making knives in 1953, using old files for blade stock.
...

...
Thanks to all y'all for indulging me in this lengthy and rambling post.
- Stuart

Congrats on your contact with the maker of that big fixed blade, Stuart; your excitement is palpable and contagious!

Churchill with some grape hyacinth.

Nice pic and knife, @AlwaysTomboy !!

Citrus slicers! (Fruit/Knife size mismatch?? )

...

-David.

I like the looks of that 2-blade lambsfoot, David!

...My #14 has become the knife I carry on exam days, because if I have to whip it out mid exam to sharpen my pencil I know it’s not going to freak anyone out. Since I’ve been doing this I’ve gotten an A on every exam I’ve taken, so it’s almost become a good luck charm in addition to being a designated pencil sharpener haha.

Congrats on your exam knife, Karl. I have a "test tie" that I've worn for taking and giving tests since 1969, and I've recently added the Vic Money Clip :

...
I really like the curvy lines of your Mini Copperhead.

Pile side of the ol' Edge Mark Stockman.

Man, I love that German stag.

Thanks, FBC. I agree with you about German stag!!

Gary, that is an amazing tie sir!

ED's USA Schrade/Camillus thread got me to grab this 1959 Ulster Craftsman stockman for the day.
This oldie has about the best W&T of any knife I have, and beautiful peachseed jigged delrin handles.

 

[r8shell]

Citrus slicers! (Fruit/Knife size mismatch?? )

I knew you'd pick up on that!

Happy Wednesday!

 

[JTB_5]

5K Qs Thanks GT! That knife behind Smaug is my modified navy knife lambsfoot that traumkommode did for me. I was an idiot and gave him the wrong zip code so I'm still waiting on it to redirect to the right address, but you'll be seeing more pictures of it soon, I'm sure! That tie clip is perfect!
