What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[RDaneel]

That’s a lovely Cattaraugus barlow, here are a couple more...

Two beautiful Barlows, Wayne! The top one has it all - great covers, bolsters and two blades. Is it a smaller than average Barlow?

Thanks Dean, lovely Damascus

Thank you, Jack! That is another great duo for you today.

 

[RDaneel]

Today's carry includes two knives for wooden Wednesday and my other tryout for EDC (Swayback Jack).

 

[5K Qs]

You must have HUGE pockets

...

Harry

Your TWO-blade TEW for TUEsday is exemplary, Harry!

...
Great to see those two again GT
...
Hope everyone's week has got off to a good start I'm pocketing these two days, an old Alfred Blackwell Lambsfoot I was gifted by @rockman Rob, and a Crown Penknife by Harrison Fisher

Thanks, Jack.
You have a pair of winners! I like the way the splendid pen knives are "trending" lately!

I really like this knife, I've been dating one for a long time. It must be my next purchase!!!

Thank you, @Pt-Luso. I think the knife is actually made by Salamandra, model 10012

... Fixed blades do well but still the Hippekniep (Sodbuster) feels right.

Your Otter sodbuster looks right, too, @HFinn!

Slow and steady wins the race, Ken; great shell game you're playing with your charming 66!

Like Jack Black , I'm inspired by kai76 , and also by @SteveC , to carry pen knives and old ones, at that. For Twosday, I'm totin' these two together: an Ulster (876-1941) on top and a U.S. Cutlery Co. (1920-1940) on bottom.

...
- Stuart

Tremendous twin tip-bolstered 4-bladed bone-clad pens, Stuart!

Your stag Tacosa and the brass (?) dog knife are a classy couple of knives, Alan!

Very nice. I have a similar one with a pocket watch attached. It was a gift from my wife to her father when she was much younger, and he treasured it. He died in 2007, and my wife recently gave it to me. My turn to treasure it.

Touching story, PJohn!

...
Thanks GT! With those 3 multi-tool/camp knives you’re toting, you probably won’t need another pocket knife for the rest of your life. But who doesn’t need more knives??

@Old Engineer Harry, I love your TEW! The covers on it look similar to a Joseph Rodgers & sons I have which I decided to carry today along with my good ol Schrade pen knife.

Thanks for the camp knife props, Nick. Another stunning duo for you; that tip-bolstered Schrade schreds me!!

Charismatic knife, Gev! The inscription on the handle reminds me of this song with the line "Say it with dead flowers in my wedding":

A walk in deep Michigan woods.View attachment 1000630

You're carrying some immaculate woods for your woods walk, Jeff! Approximately where in Michigan is this National Forest?

Thanks.
I will be using this 60's craftsman when I finish repairing it, it will replace the crappy modern one I'm currently using.

Very nice ! I'm also carrying an Ulster today

That Ulster is the ultimate, Steve!

Today...

That stag 83 is stellar, Senhor Pinto!!

...
The other knife in the running for EDC is my Case Swayback Jack.

You Vic Cadet II is a true treasure.
...

Thanks for the ID and the generous treatment of my Cadet II, Dean!

My carry theme today is blue.

Muy cool azul, Dean!!

I understood every one of those references.

An old Camper clad in new bocote, featuring the world's slowest photo-bomb.

If you know so much about Mr. Peabody, you're surprisingly mature, Rachel! Impressive work on the scout rehandle!

Two clips are better than one!
View attachment 1000784

Amazing pair, Taylor! (Are two clips better than one spear, though?? )

...
This one bit me today on the tip of my thumb while peeling an apple. 1/16" 440C sharpened to 15dps makes for a clean and effortless cut.
...

Shawn, is it possible you were too caught up in the Saints' game??

Thanks GT! That Forest-Master looks to be in great shape for a knife of nearly 60.
...

A Böker for me today.

Thanks for the encouraging words, @Spaten; great shape for a knife that was sometimes abused by a foolish kid, too. The tree stamp bolsters sure are desirable IMHO!

That’s a lovely Cattaraugus barlow, here are a couple more...

Dwight & Wayne, those Cattaraugus Barlows with the tiny script bolster stamp are exquisite!! Probably my favorite of all the many Barlows I've seen here (even though I'm a Colonial/Imperial/RoughRider guy at heart ).

Canoe of the Week is a Buck jigged bone model (thanks, Clay):

Free Choice Knife of the Week is another canoe, a Böker Beer Barrel model:


Big Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider one-arm trapper:

[Atiger]

Two beautiful Barlows, Wayne! The top one has it all - great covers, bolsters and two blades. Is it a smaller than average Barlow?

Thanks - it’s the typical 3 3/8 in barlow. The photo may have blurred the perspective - here’s the same knife with a couple of other like-sized barlows.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I've been focusing on my swaybacks lately, so I decided I'd better put this one in my pocket today. I always think of this one as having a bit of extra flair: something an elegant English gentleman might have carried in the late 1800s.

"Oh Jeeves, draw my bath then lay out my tweeds and my walking stick. I feel like going for a bit of a stroll this afternoon. And be sure to set out my burnt amber bone swayback gent. Can never tell when I might need to slice a piece of fruit or cut a switch to teach those street urchins some manners!"

"Very good, sir. As you wish, sir."

Dean, Super post! That Case teardrop makes me drool! Is it curly maple?

Astounding that Green Maple, entirely suited to the pattern as well

Thanks, Gary! Your Boker Canoe is reminds one of an amber brew.

Thanks for the clarification, Wayne. That is a beautiful trio of Barlows!!

Thanks, Ken. The Case teardrop in my photo is indeed curly maple.

Astounding that Green Maple, entirely suited to the pattern as well

Thank you!

Thank you my friend ! Glad I checked on the pearls...I left a nail file open on a dolphin

Sweet sweet lambsfoot.

Joe

Looking good Joe

Thank you, Jack! That is another great duo for you today.

Cheers Dean, very kind of you

So many memories that brought back ! What a life. Thank you, Gary ! I knew you were a bad boy

Thank you very much GT, Nick kai76 definitely deserves the credit for the penknives Classy couple of Canoes there companero

Early start for me tomorrow, but I'll try to leave the house well-heeled This is my plan - 2018 Guardians Lambsfoot in horn, and this Sleeveboard, which was made in Sheffield for a Liverpool hardware merchant, and a gift from our old pal Stephen @Old & In The Way

 

[Duckdog]

Those are beautiful Stuart

Awesome pair of old pens Stuart! Love that Ulster. I’ll glad to have inspired you and Jack Black to tote these beauties today. More old pen knives please!!!

Both incredible ! Go pen knives !!

Very nice ! I'm also carrying an Ulster today

Tremendous twin tip-bolstered 4-bladed bone-clad pens, Stuart!

This thread just flies by! I had to back up several pages to find yesterday's posts and catch up on "thank yous". Thanks, guys. Pen power!! An Imperial and a Union just for good measure (and to replace that big trapper in my pocket).

- Stuart

[kai76]

D Duckdog Wow Stuart!! The bone on those 2 pens are gorgeous. The Union is a real gem! Go pen!!

The yellow saw cut bone 77 today. Have had 8 inches since morning. Shoveled the roof slide off my deck and re stocked my bird feeder for the finches

Our renters deck for now I'd say 3ft in front of his door

Bird's lined up impatiently waiting their turn

 

[screened porch]

Here's the carry for that ukelele class at a church. One might have had to tighten a tuner.

 

[Highhawk1948]

A 1965 case 06247PEN two bladed pocket knife

 

[Whetstone39]

Finally finished the edge on this Shuffler. Probably took 2 1/2 hours total, spread out over 3 nights, to reprofile the edge to 30 degrees inclusive and finish sharpening it. I am much happier with the way it slices now. For my meager skills, this steel takes some time and patience to change the edge angle.
