What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Just acquired this 2008 S&M Hawbaker-style muskrat in Fireoak bone and have been carrying it today. Feels great in the hand, nice size for a four-finger grip.

Thanks, Gary! Good observation. It does resemble sine waves. 60 Hz?;)

Alright you guys! Only shyster salespeople act like that.:poop: And they either wash out quickly, or rack up numbers that get them promoted to sales managers. In 27 years in sales, I saw both kinds.:rolleyes:
A good one, like I tried to be, earns the long time loyalty of his clients, and his drivers bend over backwards for his accounts. Like any other profession.:cool:

Jeff, I must apologize to you, agreeing all salesman are unscrupulous. This is not true, there are many who bend over backward to see that their customer is satisfied.
Again, if I offended you, I'm truly sorry.

You must NOT apologize! I was not offended in the least. Sorry- I think I came across as defensive.

I used to tell new clients "I hope you need a salesman real bad, because I'm a real bad salesman."

Thanks, GT. Some beasts leave very identifiable spoor. I admire your Schrade whittler and and Remington peanut choices, and I am unanimous in that position.

Gev, I told her that I said some nice things on this thread about Ron ( @Half/Stop ), whom she had just met during his drop-in, and she replied, "That's appropriate, he seems to be a really nice guy." I agreed, so I left it at that. Whew!!

I figured that this iconic knife belonged on my belt for the day. I am absolutely in love, hard to get more traditional than a Kephart.

I agree with the Green River reference and offer my admiration for that choice. What a classic knife! (BTW, I, too, find a way to slip a fixed knife/sheath onto my belt more often these days.)

Fabulous work!! I gotta send some needy knives in for attention.

I can't hold out any longer. I set this one aside and pondered, (we do ponder in ND):) if I should include this in my carry routine even though the answer to me was a resounding YES, I hesitated doing so. Well no longer, I carried today and it's modest cutting task consisted of freeing a frozen pizza from it's plastic wrap:eek::D

That yellow will brighten any day. Thanks for sharing it, Paul.

Decided to break from my months long custom stockman trend and pocket this 48 today. If they ever make a run of 48's with a wharncliff only, I'll have to have my first single blade wharncliff.

That is an elegant looking knife and your option would be even more so.

A great pair, Jeff. I think that both are beautifully benign (and extremely useful).
