What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Camillus]

This started out as a cougar clawed but wasn’t a great example so I modded it. It’s now more like cougar’s dinner.

 

[Half/Stop]

I have MANY fixed blades, heck I have several from Mark (Markesharp) but this Stag one is clearly a favorite of mine. I had it in my shop as a shop knife but once I got this Joufuu sheath I can finally carry it. I have never met Mark but these Stag covers are a custom fit This and the ancient just kinda work well together

Paul my friend that is a terrific pair your showing and a beautiful photo!!! They sort of remind me of you and @Campbellclanman Duncan. One is ancient and the other has developed a nice patina!!!

One of my favourite Forum Knives for me today.

Very nice 2014 Forum Stag Will!! A great year no doubt!!

You have captured the detail of the blade nicely! Thanks!

I'm totin' a too-smooth duo for Twosday: a Winchester trapper and a Canal Street "Pinch". Thankfully, in these pics you can see how Canal Street sculpted the covers to better fit in hand.

Stuart that is a pair of shiny beauties. They look slick as Owl !!!

These two for me today.

 

[Will Power]

Thanks very much Ron! I love that knife.

My humble carry today.

You should be proud to carry THAT humble carry, Dean!! Fantastic photo of a very comely knife! (Sure wish I could figure out how to eliminate blade reflections.)

View attachment 927110 303 Cadet is spending the day with me. A nice light carry on this HOT summer day. They're saying that it may be the hottest Fathers Day on record, in our area. Hope all of the Dads out there are having a great Fathers Day!

That super-cool Cadet should provide you with some relief from the heat, Lance!

Gary, I don’t mean to misrepresent the history of a knife pattern. To the best of my knowledge, there is no connection between the political party of the Civil War era and the knife pattern. I have been led to believe that the name copperhead stems from GIs carrying them in Vietnam clearing tunnels. I can find no history on this Case with the miniature Lincoln head penny mounted in cover.

Thanks for the additional info, Ken. I wasn't misled by your intriguing photo composition; the only connection I presumed between knife and political cartoon was the word "copperhead".

...That is a good looking flock of lambs, Gary!

Nice Lambsfoot collection my friend
...

Thanks, Dean & Jack.

Thanks, GT! That smooth white bone makes a perfect canvas, me thinks. It's crazy to think this little booger is already 2! Time sure has flown by.

I love the patinated backsprings on your stockman! I don't know if any of my knives will ever get carried enough to develop such a deep, even patina.

Thanks GT! The Böker certainly is one of my favoeites. I can see why you like the carbon steel backspring on that UH, they contrast nicely with the brass liners None of the liners on my knives are as dark as yours, I guess it has a lot to do with time or did you help them patina a bit?

Yeah, you're gonna have to give up the green Peanut before you know it, Shawn!
Thanks for the nice comments on the Uncle Henry backspring patina, Shawn and Mark. I got that knife in a trade with @gonebad395 , who picked it up at a flea market I think, so I know nothing about the prior history of the knife. When it came to me, it already had the dark patina.

Thank you Gary! Happy Fathers Day my friend!

Belated thanks, Ron.

I'm glad you can still see the etch. It is fun to play with the light when snapping pics of a nice patina.
Both Riley and Betty enjoy their walks.

Nice work on the Svord grind.

Jaw-dropping, joeradza !!!

Thank you, GT. I feel like a real winner, having just about 7 decades on something called an Ancient.

Sovereign sowbelly and swell swine pic, Ken!!

After some tinkering, I'm giving this Imperial from Trevor (@t.willy) a test run today. Thanks, Trevor!

Hey, that's a captivating Imperial! Please let us know the results of the test run.

It is hot and getting hotter here today, so I'm going for lighter totin' and cooler colors.

That azure Peanut ought to be a cure for the summertime blues!!

Sublime sowbelly still life, Gev!!

... here’s a picture of an old tractor and working knives.
View attachment 927710

I've wondered about that yellow/orange tractor that's appeared in past pics, Jeff. Not orange enough for an old Allis Chalmers we had when I was a kid, but I wasn't sure it matched my (often faulty) memory of a Massey-Ferguson we'd sometimes borrow from my Mom's dad when things got busy. The "MF" in this pic suggests I was on the right track.

Went with the sodbuster jr for the week.

...

That's a heavy metal pocket dump right there, Hickory n steel !! Glad you got your lawnmower tuned up.

...

Harry

Nifty line-up of gifts, Harry! (Someone didn't give an old Case/IH guy like you a John Deere RussLock, did they?? )

View attachment 927838

Desirable dark pair there, Paul! How big is that Buck trapper?

I thought I’d take a few pics and I got surprised by being watched.

I hope to find its skin it leaves behind. I put them in my guest beds. Oh yeah, it’s a common Black Racer.

Cool pics, @HST !! My wife was fascinated and creeped out by them (and will never accept an invitation to come visit you ).

Peanut of the Week for me is a Case with brown jigged Delrin covers (thanks, Cory):

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Marbles rams horn canoe:

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a GEC #72 (thanks, Dee):

- GT

 

[black mamba]

Today with a functional knife, unbranded, stainless steel and stag imitation!!

J., as I'm sure you're aware, that looks exactly like an Uncle Henry except for the tang stamps. Possibly a 2004 "end of days" knife, or a cutler's Frankenknife. Either way, a perfect EDC.

Ever seen a pig with antlers? Now you have: RR Stag Sowbelly

Thanks Gary! I do like me some Ebony!!! That 72 is chopping some mighty tasty looking veggies my friend!

Doing a little pruning this morning. 95 degrees yesterday, 73 today. Turned the central air off and opened the windows. I'll take it.

Greatly appreciated, Gary!!! The ram's horn canoe is fantastic. I think your collection is officially getting ...large

Man o man..RR killed it with that one and thanks for the laugh !!!

Jeff, I know you are already aware of this, but that pig has some very nice antlers on it! Regardless of price that RR pig has nothing to be ashamed of!

Thanks Gary. Nice 72. You notice how much better you eat when you have an excuse to use a knife to cut up fresh veggies?

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Gev. Since my photography is nowhere near yours, I have to spice up my posts another way!

And Ron, thanks as always. The other side isn't as nice, but still pretty good.

Thanks, and some real nice carries you got there I've always liked the look of their jigged brown delrin though I wish they could use it with CV blades.

As far as the mower goes, I was very baffled at how I could go this long without noticing there was no fuel filter.
It was acting up so I figured I'd check the air filter...ect, but go to check the fuel filter and there just wasn't one.

 

[Pàdruig]

Good morning, folks. Been a few days since I posted in this thread.

I have these two within easy reach today. Just have to say that the Stag has become a fast favorite.
