What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r redden]

I've got this 15 boy's knife in my pocket today. It is the first GEC I ever owned and @glennbad put the stag covers on it for me.

AS IT WAS WHEN I RECEIVED IT

THE WAY IT IS TODAY.

@Will Power : Your comment yesterday has convinced me to carry this one today .

Working around the property this afternoon so carrying a good worker in pocket. Have a great Sunday, all.

I'm really totin' light today, even lighter than the Schrade 272 that I recently carried. At 2 3/16", this Miller Brothers oval lobster is just a smidgen of a knife. The tang stamp says it's from the 1872-1926 period. Beauty may be ephemeral, but this old gal is ethereal in hand. Apologies for the shadows of our White Oak that photo-bombed the mark side pic.

smokin stag...mama mia

Thank you! I don’t think of myself as a big-time stag guy, but I saw this one and had to grab it.

Harry

Great stag on those!

I rarely carry it, but today she was lucky. In my pocket this German knife Weidmannsheil...

That is a fine looking jack. I see a tab on the back. Is that a lock? Another tool?

Nice choice!

I’ve got the Drover to keep me company as I listen to a new album.

Just a quick trip Gary, I didn’t want to check a bag. It is a feeling like something is not right.

It's like forgetting your billfold, or watch, or wedding ring, or comb (I still have hair, though it is thinning and whitening!).

Great choice as well! I picked mine up off the sales forum and have found the form factor very pocketable. Makes me consider buying a Churchill every time I carry it.

Thank you @JohnDF for the nice words.

The long and short of it!

Thanks again for your eloquent words. That Humpback Stockman makes me want caramel candy.

Cool response to Jeff's pair, FBC!
Thanks for your comment on my humpback stockman.

Amazing Amherst, Dwight!

Evocative pic, Gev; that congress is choice!

... At 2 7/8", this Schrade Walden 272 packs a lot into a small package.

The saber grind on the clip gives it some strength in the spine.

Tasty peanut, Stuart!

Utica Jack today

Entrancing equal-end Utica, Steve!

These today : TEW Lambfoot and a new Northfield Antique Yellow Jigged Bone 14 .

Congrats on the new GEC #14, Harry! If it turns out to be too small for you, I guess I could take care of it for you until it grows up.

...
My latest acquisition, which I carried today: Case made Army Mini Trapper (solid feeling knife).

That's a fine mini trapper, Dean; the star of stars on the bolster is a nice touch!

Depending how my back is tomorrow, I'm heading out for a hike/hobble! Going to be taking these out with me Have a great weekend folks
...

Your two lambsfoot knives and the Farmer are excellent knives, Jack , but are you sure it's wise to load up on knives when your back is on the fritz?!? I do like your plan of trying to hike a bit; I'm a big proponent of "range of motion" therapy for injuries.

Those are clean...

Too clean.

It was only recently that I realized what cannitler meant.
Striking blue bone with red shield Case!

Thanks for your remarks about the knives I posted, Jeff. Some of my knives aren't as clean as they look in the pics. I'm neither a good nor an enthusiastic photographer, so I often only get pics of a knife soon after I get it (especially for stainless knives), and these new-knife pics are all I have available for many knives even years later.

Been a long week so just trying to catch up. Carried the two German made Barlow’s at work this week and grabbed the 881 Schrade a couple of nights when I got home. Carried the Victorinox today Salmon fishing and have the 77 on me now.

Thanks for the "week in review", @315; that's a quality quintet!

Stuck with the same two as yesterday.
...
Had a weird camera glitch when taking a solo shot of the AG Russell.

A pair worth repeating, FBC! What sort of project do you have going there? That "glitch" caused a double take for me!

All I can say is wunderbar!

I’ve had this 66 with me since I recently received it. The Winchester just showed up today. Can’t go wrong, in my opinion, with a jigged bone Stockman with a federal shield. One of my favorite combinations. View attachment 1006421

Congrats on that new Winchester stockman, Lance; that's a superb acquisition!

Nice tribute! How do you like the AG Russell sodbuster, Jer? Is that the big version, or the smaller one?

...
It’s Shradurday! View attachment 1006507View attachment 1006508 I like the build quality on these- the electromagician is built like a tank.

Capable pair for sure, Jeff!

Gots some work to do...

Very seasonal black/orange combo, John!

Striking stag pair, Joshua; that Weidmannscheil is incredible! (What is that turtle made of, and what's its story?)

In addition to the knives I carry each week as dictated by my rotation schedule, I've made a habit of carrying a Free Choice knife that's completely unscheduled and selected according to my whims at the time I'm grabbing my knives for the week. But this week, I inexplicable went for FOUR free choice selections!

Still toting my brand new Buck 301 and anxiously awaiting the 2018 BF forum knife.

 

[dsd5150]

Getting ready to head to the club for some football and good eats. In a copper mood today, so it will be one of the doggies and the Yeoman. Enjoy the day everyone.

Thanks Gary! I was unable to exercise any self control when it it popped up at such an attractive price.
