What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Duckdog]

Today is Throwback Thursday Totin' for me. I pulled these codgers out of their cozy cubbies and popped 'em in my pockets. A Case 6202 1/2 from 1920-1940 and a Case 6235 from 1940-1964.

This is a Case SS 6347 jigged Walnut Bone Stockman. When I got it, the blades, bolsters, and covers were highly polished as are most Case SS knives. I don't particularly like a mirror, shiny, finish so, I've been carrying this knife in one pocket or another with extra change or keys and as a finale, I buffed the covers and bolsters with a Scotch-Brite pad. I'm finally satisfied with the dulled look of the knife. The shiny has been knocked right off it and and it's been honed to a sharp, rough, grabby, edge so it's ready to put to use.

Doing some cleaning up around my bosses horse stalls and little tack barn. Does a tramontina count as a traditional fixed blade!?

Superb celebratory stag, Harry! Congrats on the graduating grandchild! I've worked with teachers and interns at Holland Christian HS.

It was a Sowbelly Tuesday for me.

Such a fine sowbelly (and the tunes aren't bad either)!

Peerless pair, Jack! Colorful field behind the copperhead!

These two just seemed appropriate this morning.

Good choices, Ron. I'm not going to quote all the posts that indicate that others are also carrying Northwoods knives as a memorial for Derrick, but I'm impressed by the gesture.

Thanks for the welcome.
Yes, I teach high school Algebra and Geometry.

Cool! I've been teaching math for 45 years, mostly at the college level.

That is called Wandering Jew (or, as Wikipedia just told me, Tradescantia pallida) . Later in the season when it gets more sunlight, it will flower and the leaves will turn a deep purple.

Thanks for the plant ID, r8shell. I think we've sometimes had potted Wandering Jew plants in our house, but I don't think we currently do. That Northfield 2-blade Barlow is a winner!

Have a great day, porch denizens!

That top knife looks great, Jeff! Willing to share a little info about it?

For Wooden Wednesday, I'm totin' this large (4.5") Smith & Wesson lockback hunter, This thing is a tank, but with clean lines. According to Goins, S&W made their own knives from 1974 until 1986 when production was taken over by Vermont Cutlery. Current production may be by Taylor Brands. This knife's only marking is Made in USA stamped on pile side tang.

Lotta knife there, Stuart; I really like that blade!

...
Thanks GT, that's the Victorian railway viaduct in the North Yorkshire market town of Knaresborough

It's taken from the film 'The Colditz Story', a 1955 film about a famous German WW2 POW camp. ... The real story is actually very interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colditz_Castle

There's even a board game!
...
The maths teachers are multiplying! Welcome to The Porch John
...

Thanks for the info about Knaresborough and about Colditz, Jack! And nothing beats a math pun!

5K Qs , Thanks for the welcome, Idk but I been told in a lot of places in Asia that's all the toilet ya get

I've heard that! I think I'd find that quite challenging!

Henckels cocobolo & stainless

You certainly have some fantastic German stock knives, Jeff!

This ebony Lamb foot arrived today...really like this one

Congrats, Paul, that looks like a dependable knife!

More toasty MAM for Wooden Wednesday and some of your favorite mandarins.

Excellent!!

Oh, those Ebony Guardians are looking fine! I had to go with my horn handled one today.

And just to mix things up a bit, I'm also carrying a m.o.t.s. Imperial:

I like the "ripples" in your Guardians horn handle, and that Imperial jack is a nostalgia machine!

My Alox this week is smooth and red on a Vic Secretary (thanks, Ken):

My non-Alox SAK is a simple and satisfying Vic Recruit:

My bailed non-SAK this week is a Camillus linesman knife:

That's some spicy whittlin' you're doing there!

Thanks! The Barlow is such a great knife, and I'm getting lazy just grabbing it or the Churchill in the morning. My other knives are getting jealous!
