Robeson TL-29
I remember seeing my unkles use these when I was young...they were roofers and carpenters. They would scrape paint,putty,whatever...used them and used them hard.
Found this one in the bottom of an ammo can full of rusty tools at a flea market...oh happy day that was! She cleaned up pretty nice :)

Thanx for that pic supra...you helped me pick my knife for tomorrow:thumbup:
this thread is my favorite place in traditionals...some days I will see a knife and be reminded of one of my neglected toys...so I dig it out and carry it for a day or several.
Other times I just drool.....
I love the shield and wood on your knife :)
 
The blade is not touching the guitar. After seeing all of the great looking photos on this site this is the only thing I could think of.:)
 
Today I was on the road with two knives... My own and trusty German Army Knife from Vic

I parked the Peanut for the first time in weeks so I could carry my Swaybacks. I love the feel of this knife.

Oldie but Goodie today and carried carefully: A Rem Senator from about 1925, they knew about BONE.
 
EDC'n my most favorite single blade Trapper in my stash today.. A stunning slim profile Trapper pattern w/ exquisite Red Bone - 52100 steel - custom built by Lloyd.. She is pictured here in this thread in an earlier post which I am currently searching for at the moment and I'll add the link ASAP for folks to see. :thumbup:

Best,
Anthony

I really like this. Why is it called a Fruitport? Does the hole in the blade assist in non-stick fruit slicing?

Groove,

Fruitport, Michigan is where William Wales Scagel lived and worked on his property with his beloved dogs until the early 1960's when he passed away..

If you'd like to see one of his dogs check out my avatar here. :cool:

Best,
Anthony

That's a real pretty one you have there. Robeson made some real knives in their time didn't they?

Don't feel silly. Most folks don't know the real story of the real Bill Scagel. The mans life was absolutely fascinating and was quite frankly the true father of modern custom knife making in America. :thumbup:
