What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[waverave]

Love that red shield on the blue bone. Beautiful!

I agree...it is a beauty. I might have to take a closer look at the other patterns from this run

Stockmans are the best knife of all.

Finished up the table project today. Maybe I’ll post some pics tomorrow with a knife on it. It’s not perfect but better than it was. This big ole 4.25” al Warren stockman helped me with that and checking on the pea patch.

According to the date on the pic, I bought this Taylor Schrade 93OT about 2 1/2 years ago. This summer, I've discovered that it fits perfectly in the small pocket of my cargo shorts and it does not care if it gets wet when I'm watering the back yard(leaky hose). So it's getting carried a lot.

Today I'm totin' a close, but more casual, cousin to the more refined Primble English jack that I posted recently: a John Primble India Steel Works curved jack (1890-1940). At 3 3/4", it might be dubbed a New England Whaler, but seems too nautical for this old boy.

You’ve been rolling out some amazing blades, but this one is on a whole new level. Looks likes it’s never been carried. That bone is unbelievable!!

A cautionary tale: A while ago, maybe five years or so, I went to the local gun & knife show. A fellow there was selling off his old stock Queen knives in cocobolo for very good prices. Good enough that I bought two of these #26 small stockmans, one to use and one to keep nice. Excellent fit and finish, truly top notch. Except for the terribly ground edges. No matter, says I, I'll just put new edge bevels on the user! Well, my sharpening skills weren't what they are now, and I'd never worked with D2 steel. I got frustrated and decided to use a belt sander (never drink while sharpening) I got it sharp, but it looks a mess. I was so mad at myself that I put the knife away in a drawer, embarrassed to show it.

I looked at the knife yesterday, and I think I may as well carry and use it. The cocobolo is beautiful, and the f&f is still great. Maybe a little patina will hide the scratches, and when it needs sharpening, I hope I can do a neater job. So here's my carry for this week. I'll add a Lambsfoot for Yorkshire Day, of course!

Don’t feel bad...I’ve seen much worse and butchered many an edge myself. I don’t have the patience required, whether under the influence or not.
Several years ago my sister gave me several of her husband’s knives after he passed. All needed serious TLC, but a Buck Cadet had really suffered at the hands of my brother-in-law and what appears to have been a bench grinder. It’s a wonderful knife when closed, but the blades are atrocious. I’ve thought about sending it back to Buck to see if there is anything salvageable about it.

Fantastic carries posted today everyone. I carried the Bushboot during the day then got word later on that my NEW Fish Barlow with new stamps and upgrades departs tomorrow To say I'm pumped is an understatement. With knowing it is en route I slipped Mark's awesome Stag well used fixed blade in my pocket tonight along with my Stag Wrangler

It arrived! Flushed and oiled. I think this one will be a keeper.

 

[paulhilborn]

Mine for today, I felt like more colorful choices this morning.

Tom, as always, nice duo to answer your earlier question about the Bushboot and how I like it. I love it, it is a great size, great ergo's and the A2 with convex edge is a beast when it comes to cutting

Great picture, now don't take this wrong but the face in the jar caught me off guard only because of the cool and kinda creepy (compliment, no really) distortion

Just so cool, pure classic red bone

Yesterday we planted 25 Flirt, 12 Lemon Lime and 4 Obsession Nandinas. We also planted 4 large Kaleidoscope Abelias and 20 Varigated Liriope plants. My backside was dragging my tracks out for the last two days! Now the monsoons are supposed to be here for three or four days so starting today I’m in relax mode! Starting the day with these two in my pockets!
