What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

These two today. The serrated edge on the Camillus is a little different. I wonder if it was a build out after Buck stopped having them make their 300 series. Queen is a real beauty.

@ doug: That Old Timer Stockman has a really fine patina... Great looking, both knives!

Today a Buck 301 and followed me :)

Kind regards

Thanks Andi. I got it at the flea market a couple weeks ago. It was in pretty rough shape. I had seen it a few weeks before, but did not want to pay what he was asking for such a beat up knife. This time I asked and he reduced the price by 1/3. I spent some time cleaning it up and it looks a lot better. Sadly, the main clip blade has no snap closing and a fair amount of side-to-side play. But the other blades are good, so I use them for beater-type tasks that I would not subject some of my other knives to.
 
This one is taking a ride in the pocket today. Going to ear doc in Ruston today. Hopefully, I'll be able to hear better in a little while.

The black scales look like Buck alright, but Camillus made some stockman pattern knives with serrated blade like that for Remington. Looks kind of like an "end of days" knife.

Carrying the buck 303, I think called the Cadet, gift from grandfather many years ago. It's a jeans day at work and this is my usual jeans pocket knife. great size, each blade sharpened slightly different angle. Used the spey blade inside my brother's deer in Utah last fall, she's been sterilized since.

I've been tote'n this old Case 6318PU Stockman nine dot - 1971 production for the better part of three weeks now..

I pulled her out of my stash back then and I just can't seem to put er' back -- she sure is a super fine cutter to be certain.


Best,

I wonder about the blade steel. The back springs are quite a dark rough steel and I'm not sure about the bolsters either. The tip was broken off the main blade so I made it a semi Wharncliffe.

The steel on this sweet old Queen Stockman pattern is good old quality hi-carbon steel -- likely 1095 The bolsters are nickle silver and both of them have been repaired at some point evident by the after market pins.. Great old pattern. Enjoy using her!

After carrying the #57 for a few weeks, I once again switched to my most carried combination.
Before going home, I enjoyed the beautiful evening sitting in the woods, luckily only 10 minutes away from the university.

Nice whittling a mini squirrel, must mean you're after a GEC stainless then....:D! Some exceptional knives on view lately: Anthony's 9 dot is such a remarkable combo, shape and bone I'm not sure I'd bother with any other knife! Admire that Queen Wormgroove Bone Teardrop in ATS-34 of Telecontar's too.:thumbup:

Today, Tidioute Dogleg Jack 56 in Amber Bone, sturdy but elegant.

Regards, Will
 
@pertinux: I agreed completelly with you! A great pic... and a great whittling work! My Respect sturzi!

Kind regards
Andi
 
Here's one I just got. I haven't carried a traditional for a looong time, but I'm liking it!
This one came with a dent on the back bolster and 2 of the three pins, so was an instant user.
