What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Double Lambsfoot day is looking nice Jack, great photos



Thanks! I have no idea why I don't carry that GEC more often , I think I am going to clean it up and put a screaming sharp edge on it. Maybe it just needs a little attention

Thanks Tom, I think I need to rummage through my knife boxes and dig out a few old friends myself

[RDaneel]

Hope you had a good hike Dean, nice pocket pals

Thanks, Jack! We did.

I enjoyed the great photographs !!! Looks like a wonderful hiking area

Thank you, Gev.

Thanks Dean!

Well, "wood" you look at that.....
SPECTACULAR.

Thank you, Dee.

The contents of a man's pocket are the reflection of his mind. Your mind is looking sharp (as in classy), Dee!

For a second there, I thought this was the beverage & blades thread!

It's a funny thing, that I can take or leave a blade etch (they get lost in the patina anyway), but I love a blade with a stamp like that. I guess because nobody does that anymore on new knives, so it's extra old-timey looking.

Naw, that’s a bridge too far!

That stag coke bottle is an absolute showpiece, Dwight; "it's the real thing"!

Thank you GT.

Very nice Dwight

Thanks Jack.

Peanut-ish Knife of the Week is a Case chestnut jigged bone CV Swayback Jack (thanks, Paul):

Gorgeous swayback!

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider stag medium trapper:

Another fabulous trapper GT.

What a wonderful photo and knife.

I carried this trio on my hike this morning in the cold and snow.

There is quite a bit of that same fungi here. I find it quite handsome. Nice Swiss rig.

Case CV chestnut bone teardrop (I dropped this 3 or 4 times and finally decided not to clean the snow off for the photo)

Great pic.

Camillus Whittler today

That is the knife version of a cathedral. It is glorious.

I'm totin' a throwback this Thursday, a 30 year old Parker Frost "Bison" (by Schrade in 1978):

Fantastic jigging on a stunning knife.

 

[kai76]

Great pic of this knife that's caught your fancy, Nick!

Thanks GT! It’s still in my pocket. Just don’t wanna post the same knife everyday on here.

Piano keys.

Timeless!!

Camillus Whittler today

Gorgeous! You have an amazing stash of Cammies.

I'm totin' a throwback this Thursday, a 30 year old Parker Frost "Bison" (by Schrade in 1978):

The lightening outside was tricky today and the spots of the back of the knife near the bolsters in the pic just above that look like faded bone/dye are actually glare and reflections of an adjacent cherry log. Optical illusions (delusions)? I had to go back and look at the knife again after seeing the picture.

Love it Stuart! The bone is sweeeeet!

Some comments on posts that appeared Tuesday. (I'll eventually catch up, but my motto is the moral of the fable of the tortoise and hare: slow and steady wins the race. )

Tasty bunch, Del! I had peanut butter and banana on toast this morning, but wish the banana had been riper, like yours.


Artistic example, Senhor Pinto!



Jeff & Stuart, thanks for the bone bonanza you shared with us!! Your knives are gettin jiggy wit it!!


Gev, you've got sunshine on a cloudy day!


David, I admire the way that your knives have to work hard for the money!


Thanks for putting up with my suspicious nature, Dee!


Thanks for the encouraging words, Tom. I like the looks of Vic's smooth Alox, but I much prefer the feeling of the textured Alox. As always, I enjoy your mastery of the fixed/scout pairing!


Well-said, Jeff. (I'd rather have Staglon than some of the actual stag I have! ) You've really found it with your Eureka jack!


Your Ulster quickens my pulster, Steve!



Thanks, Dean. Your slimline trapper is a long, lean, sight to be seen!


We don't see many cloning stories in the news lately, but your cloning research is obviously proceeding successfully, Dee!!


Cool crimson couple, Ken!


I heartily concur, Spaten; compelling Case canoe!


Preeminent pristine pair, Joshua!!


Totally totable twosome, Lance!




That IS some unusual fruit you posted, @lambertiana!


I think I've read here that Utica was occasionally misidentifying blade steel for some period of time. Thanks for the ID, FBC; based on the bone, I was going to guess Queen, but I'm glad I kept my mouth shut (until now ).

Thanks GT! That swayback jack is a beauty.

I’ve got a different Case today.

Thanks GT! That swayback jack is a beauty.

I’ve got a different Case today.

Beautiful Serpentine Jack.

 

[Modoc ED]

We went up to Klamath Falls, OR today and did some shopping. Rainy and stormy with some snow between here and there so I carried this Case 6217 Curved Jack with me. Heck, ya never know - I might have had to chop a tree to clear the road.

I hope you guys and gals didn't fall for the tree across the road thingy but in bad weather and traveling some of the roads we have here it does pay to carry a heavy duty style knife in your pocket - maybe have to cut a shoelace loose from a twig or something like that.

 

[Spaten]

Beautiful Serpentine Jack.

Thank you, John.

So , did you cut into that with the 44 or not ???? It looks very tasty to me and I do like your showing of your 44 .

I whole-heartedly agree with you r8shell !!! That is one of the reasons that I really like the Old Taylor Eye Witness products . They also were very well made . Maybe a little on the overly heavy side , but very well made .

Morning folks AC Lambsfoot and Maserin Plow for me today
...

Your lambsfoot and your Plow are aristocratically agrarian, Farmer Jack!!

My wife keeps dropping "carat" hints this holiday season.

If she wants "carats under the tree", then carrots she shall have.

Hope she like them!

Very cool Spanish knife, Dave! I have the same model, but I think your wood is better!

Tremendous two-tone timber, Ken, and excellent pic!

It’s a nice day for a White Wednesday

Pretty, productive pair!! You do good work, Jeff!

The mail arrived, with this Spanish knife Joker Braco in stag...

Congratulations on your magnificent acquisition, Senhor Pinto!

Laudable ligneous selections, Joshua!

- Stuart

Really like that blade shape, Stuart!

I seem to be carrying this one about every other day lately. This time it gets credit for the wood chips.

Impressive pile of shavings generated by your knife, Greg!

Today's Wooden Wednesday tote.

When the leaves change color, the seasons change, and Dean's Presidential appears!

I think these 2 blade 14s are about the perfect size for every day carry.

Fantastic pic!!

For Wednesday.

Handsome Wooden Wednesday choice, Tom, and you can re-use them for Black Friday; everyone loves double-dipping!

Ravishing knife, Wayne!

This one today.

Pearl on parade! Thanks, Mark!

You a very welcome, hope you enjoy it.

I can assure you I will!

Nice stag on that Colt, Gary!

Thanks, Lance.

My second Free Choice Knife this week is a Chinese Imperial sodbuster:

[JTB_5]

Thanks GT! Your alliteration proliferation deserves excalamation!

 

[PirateSeulb]

That knife is gorgeous who makes that and what is that handle made of? I love a swayback which this appears to be or something very similar.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Pretty, productive pair!! You do good work, Jeff!

- GT

You are very kind, Gary!

I'm my own worst critic. Each one I tear down and rebuild is a learning experience. And I have yet to do one that I view as perfect.
Functional with good snap, yes, but cosmetic perfection is frustratingly elusive. Keeps me off the streets and out of trouble though!
