What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

...

Not wanting to risk showing people my crotch :eek:, I removed my Levis so that I could take a picture of how I carried the knife today. It worked out pretty well, I think.

Nice picture and knife. I had a bit of chuckle getting the picture of your neighbors' face watching you taking picture of your pants in underpants. :eek::D
 
Well, crap. Imgur is down.

I decided to carry my small Tommi-puukko. I recently stripped the shiny warnish off, then went on oiling and waxing it. I am quite pleased by the result, it is not as slippery as before but looks nice. I have it in my self made pocket sheath.
 
This one deserves to get out more.

It sure does, Will. Lovely knife and a fine looking Swedish pan below it.

Just this one for me today :) :thumbsup:

That's more than enough knife for anyone, Jack.

It’s been a while since I have carried this one. 2017 Guardians Lambsfoot and pocket slip in the pocket today. :D

Ron, high steppers like you, Alan and Jack are raising the bar a bit too high so early in the morning, but thanks for showing those beauties

I have a physiotherapy appointment at the hospital this morning, so I'll just be slipping my Ashley's Choice Lambsfoot in my pocket :) Hope everyone is having a good week :thumbsup:

Jack good luck with that appointment my friend! I sincerely hope you get some relief for that back! Your photo this morning really shows the beauty of the stag on your Ashley’s Lambsfoot! :D

Thanks Stuart! I appreciate your kind words my friend! :)
 
D Duckdog a Good morning Stuart. Thanks, but posting photos around here is a little like playing H-O-R-S-E in the schoolyard. If you're not familiar with it, Google!

Here's the knife with the original sheath. I bought it to have something that reminds me of my eastern Finnish heritage and have something from one of the better makers here. These beautifull puukkos have a special place in my heart.

The edge on this Opinel #8 was burred to one side when I got it. For no particular reason I reground it to 15 degrees per side last night, honed it on ultra fine stones and stropped it on a leather belt. Curious as to how long the edge will hold.



It is supposed to rain all weekend, so I may try to mod the blade to a clip point while I am stuck inside.

Thank you, my friend. I had a bit of a laugh myself when I read your post. My back yard is fairly private but I am flanked by two neighbors who are both significantly older than I. I often wonder what they would think if they were to ever spot me on my back deck, staging knives for pictures with a cell phone. Perhaps they simply chalk it up to some young rascal and his darned cell phone. :D


I haven't carried my excellent Churchill in quite some time. Today, I am remedying that and it is accompanied by the ever present variety of Lambsfoot.
