What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Beautiful old sawcut bone on both, Harry! Lovingly worn.

The hame turned your cane into a real knob knocker!
Thanks very much for the kind words Jeff .
This will be the second cane made with a Hame Brass Knob fitted onto it . This one is for one of my good friends . I don't really need 2 canes .

I'm totin' this odd fellow today. The tang is marked OVERLAND GERMANY. Goins' Encyclopedia shows those knives as being imported by Fred Mac Overland (Los Angeles, CA) from 1951-1953. Mr. Overland barely had a cup of coffee in the knife importing business, it seems. From the look and function of this one, he should have stuck around.

You're right, too bad he wasn't in the business longer.
 
I reserve the right to change my mind later in the day. Oh, if only I could change my mind. But I will change my knives.

Do you know what it means when I add this LC to the stag and the gents knife? It means I have big pockets, lol.

We’re having our concrete driveway and sidewalk torn out and replaced. So for two days I’ve spent more time outside in the heat and humidity than I really wanted to. The concrete was poured yesterday so I’ve already wet it down last night and first thing this morning. I’ll be wetting it down at least three more times today to aid in the curing process. With this in mind I decided to go with some stainless choices for today’s carries! I’m Totin a GEC Orange Delrin Mustang which is 440C and a Buck Jig Bone Canoe which is 420J2. :D

That looks like a great pair of knives, but I understand the impulse to change them out on a whim. What is the silver looking one? Old or new?

It's Old Friends Friday, for me.
