What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[kai76]

What is the small one with the tip bolsters? It looks a lot like the Ulster I have.

It’s an arch stamp Schrade and it does look a lot like yours, the jigging too. Just without a shield. It’s a nice one you have.

 

[Old Engineer]

These 2 today . Both in slips .

I, too, have an abundance of knives, but still can't bring myself to use a traditional folder or fixed blade for kitchen duty (except afield). I have too many kitchen knives (and, I mean, too many) for that. But kudos to y'all who do so. (Yes, I'm too tentative.) It's a nice thing to see.

All of my kitchen knives have terrible edges. I just don’t keep them touched up like I should. I have a Case Sod Buster Jr. that handles all of the paring knive jobs in the kitchen and excels at that.
How can I love my pocket knives and ignore the chefs knives? Do others have this issue?

 

[Ratbert]

Well, went to our final ultra sound.....and it's a girl!!! My son is excited to be a big brother!
This is the knife I was carrying!

Congrats on the fantastic news!

 

[tmd_87]

Ragged kitchen knives so my pockets can have some sweet blades!

 

[DelOro]

How can I love my pocket knives and ignore the chefs knives? Do others have this issue?

Absolutely! Most of my chef's/kitchen knives are pushing 20 to 25 years old.

I've been planning to get a new Masakage Yuki Gyuto 210mm (for example) for several years now.

Oh Boy! Just got the tracking number for my new Tidioute/Northfield must have/can't live without GEC pocket knife.

I've been using my new *chef's* knife tonight and it's going to church with me in the morning.

It just never ends -- I Might Need Therapy?

Boy! Did it take me some time to catch up with this thread?!

Jack, I think that is a great pair to carry for at least a couple of days! Hope you have a good visit my friend!

Today I'm totin' these two. Y'all have a great Thursday!

Thanks Ron, I'm still carrying them! Great-looking pair

Hope Thursday treats you all well.
Along for the ride today, Eldon Talley City Knife, 5 3/4", Mammoth Ivory with ATS-34 blade.

That City Knife is an absolute beauty Gary

Also our younger son who is a very good cook liked the knife a lot. I think when he moves out (again, due to an unfortunate change in lifes circumstances he moved back to our place) I will make him his own. How does a version with ebony handle sound?

That sounds great Hope things pick up for your son, life can be cruel

The look my wife gives me when I “show and tell” which knife I’m carrying for the day. (From a 1928 Catalogue)

LOL! Cool pic

I carried these two on the trail today.

Fantastic pics Dean

Belated 4th carry, I hope everyone had a great holiday!

@Astronaut FX , I admire your "fireworks" choice!

All-American knife line-up, as promised! Where did you get your gloves? I think I have some just like that that I picked up at a military surplus store in Lafayette IN in 1973 (but I've lost or worn out the wool inserts).


Thanks for the Tear Drop Jack vote; I think I favor that, but I've also heard at least these: dogleg jack, candle tip jack, bullet jack.


Thanks, Jack. That pair of "instant classics" should serve you well in extended carry!


Oldies/Goodies, Jeff!


I always look forward to the knife lessons I learn from your posts, Stuart!

My Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Marbles Workman Camp Knife (thanks, Mike) that doesn't even have a bail, but it should :

My Watch Pocket Knife of the Week is an Imperial Diamond Edge (thanks, Mark):

My Big Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider Improved Muskrat:

My Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider stag canoe:

Thanks GT, I'm enjoying the pairing Great knives in your post my friend

- Stuart

Really nice Stuart

George Wostenholm I*XL hawkbill (1890-1971) and a Schrade (Walden, 1904-1946) 2153 boy's knife. Luckily, I put on my cargo shorts with totin' pockets today.

- Stuart

As are these!

 

[Jack Black]

The Cherry Tomatoes and Basil are coming in. My summer favorites.
Oh yeah, the knives are summer favorites too!

Mine too Gary I always enjoy seeing that combination

Cool trio GT

Internet, LEVINE'S GUIDE TO KNIVES AND THEIR VALUES (1985), GOINS' ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CUTLERY MARKINGS (1998), COLLECTING CASE KNIVES. 2nd Ed, Steve Pfeiffer, and mant assorted old books. But MOST OF ALL: the folks on Blade Forums, such as Jack Black , @Campbellclanman , @herder , @Gevonovich , @Will Power, Amir Fleschwund , Ratbert , @veitsi_poika , @waynorth , and many others.

Thanks, that erasure blade seems to catch the eye. "White-out" ribbon and fluid put that blade in the grave.





Thanks, GT. I find that I have two of those pruners. Gotta get to work outside. The bail of the boy's knife is a recent gift. The mini-trapper (formerly, dog leg jack) is my favorite.



My guess is that he will, Jeff. That's a great collection to get him started.

- Stuart

I'm flattered to be mentioned in that company Stuart

Well, went to our final ultra sound.....and it's a girl!!! My son is excited to be a big brother!
This is the knife I was carrying!

Congratulations Taylor!

^^^^^^ A very big congrats! Girls are amazing... she will have you wrapped around her little finger the second she is born =)

Carried one of my all time favorites today

Lovely Lloyd!

It's been a while since I've posted regularly, but thought I'd drop by to say hello. I hope everyone's doing well. By the way, I'm carrying a small ebony Brett Dowell dogleg today - sorry, no photo though as I haven't figured out an alternative to photobucket since they changed their policies - yes, it's been that long since I've posted. Again, I hope you're all doing terrific. All my best,

Stephen

Hey Stephen! Great to see you here my friend You might want to try the new BF upload feature. That sounds like a lovely knife. Hope we're going to be seeing more of you very soon. Say Hi to the kids for me

I must have reached the max number of quoted posts, as all the ones I quoted after Stephen's have been dropped Sorry folks, lots of great knives paulhilborn , you are showing some stunners my friend, love those fixed-blades

Edit - I also quoted too many images, so had to split my post!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday I've been stuck on these two for the past few days

 

[joeradza]

Mango and stag.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Please don’t ask me why I will have two pocket knives in church. View attachment 940966
I’ll probably switch up for a radio electrician or sak when we get home because of the chores awaiting me.


Edit for true confessions...
Actually that’s two in my RF pocket.
Four total counting the Wenger Esquire on my spare keys in my LF pocket (backup keys are a habit acquired calling on clients in the west and south sides of Chicago), and the tiny SW Stockman r8shell gifted me that’s in my guitar pick pocket of my Wranglers. Yeah I have a cool church - they let me lead worship in jeans

 

[Travman]

For Stagurday carry.

Perfect picture of a perfect knife. I need more 26’s in my life.

Please don’t ask me why I will have two pocket knives in church.

Why would you not have two knives in church?
The book's a good idea too, for those long prayers.

 

[Half/Stop]

Nothing but smiles in my pocket today! Hope you all have a great day!

I love that wood table. It provides the perfect background for knife pics. The knife ain’t bad either.

Keep smiling Ron! Classy carry

Love that lighter colored Ancient.

Thanks a lot, I'm thrilled with it

How can I love my pocket knives and ignore the chefs knives? Do others have this issue?

Kind of. My solution was to get a kitchen knife that I thought was good enough. I use an Old Hickory butcher knife, one is a 7 inch and one is a 10 inch I think. They work great! Much better than the awful knife sets at the store. But most of the time, I just use my pocket knife too.. and speaking of, a case soddie jr is a great choice! I carried one for the last 2 days even though I have nicer knives. It just works.
