What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Duckdog]

Stuart that's some great Winterbone and two terrific old Queens my friend! That reminds me that I still have some Thank You photos to make and post. Forgive me for taking so long my friend!

Thanks, Ron, and no worries. As you know, I have a pile of them at home to look at.

I’ll start out with this old 4 line Camillus EO jack and the Canyon, but reserve the right to swap out on a whim. Maybe a certain Buck

That Camillus EO jack is a champ, Jeff!

Case Wharncliffe Mini Trapper in Antique Bone

Pretty as a picture, John!

Still a day behind.

Only ONE day behind isn't so bad, in this thread! Does that fob go into your pocket, or hang outside? Is that a Spartan with the serrated/scalloped blade? Cool set-up.

A pair of AG Russell’s today, the Barlow is a little different in that it is a lock back.

That's a desirable and distinguished dark duo, Tom; impressive blade on the Barlow!!

Today's carry

Ravishing red bone, Dean!

...
I'm sticking with the Camillus today.

I carry one of these today...

@Buzzbait & @Pt-Luso, who could take exception to your plans?

Another Utica today

Beauty, Steve, with a fascinating blade combo!

...Carrying these two today

I hope the wonderful knives you selected don't reflect a staggy and ancient mood, Jack!

This one today. Great knife. Just needs another blade.

I'm with you on that, @SVTFreak! I have many 1-blade knives that I enjoy a lot, but I tend to think of them as not as good as they could be.

Is it Twosday already? A prior post on the Porch prompted my totin' choice today: a Queen Model 10 Heavy Duty Jack (196101971) and a Queen Model 15 Half Congress (1958-1960).

Hello, Groovy Tuesday! Pair of Queens wins the pot, Stuart!

Recently received from @black mamba (thank you!) and was instantly in love. Right into the pocket it went!

Congrats on the new-to-you Churchill!

...

Congrats on the 2018 BF Buck, Vince!

Carrying "12:25" today.

Timeless knives and inspiring photo, Dee! I think I have one or more old clocks around that I could turn into a display for a dozen knives, and maybe even have the knives I carry one week move to the clock the next week!!

Hey, that's a very versatile, classic, and classy pair, Mike!

Freshly cleaned and polished. Now into the pocket it goes!
...

Grand, glowing, green trapper!!

Today's picks for wintery chores

Captivating couple of classic knives, Mr. Tiger!

With the arrival of the Fisher stowaway my set is complete, here's hopefully the last pic of my Buck 524 for the year .
I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing it.

Congrats on completing your black aluminum set! I'm NOT tired of that Buck yet!

Tim Robertson makes a great knife. This is his version of a Pacheco.

I don't know squat about custom folders, Leslie, but congrats on your latest! Looks amazing to my inexperienced eyes!

I love Christmas!

Ken, this pic TOTALLY fooled me! I saw only the head first, and thought it was a costumed human; when I scrolled down, I at first thought you had somehow made a huge replica of a 79(?) to carry for the photo. Took me a second to shift perspective and recognize the knife as real and Santa as miniature!

Your Beavertail 85 is "bad to the bone"!!

...

Winner!!

Thanks, Gary, you're always so gracious! I put this old Robeson in pocket tonight. It's the same size as a GEC #78.

Thanks for the kind words, Jeff; my wife doesn't use the term "gracious" when I keep saying, "Hey, look at THIS knife! Isn't that incredible?!?" Celluloid covers on that old-school Robeson?

Gt it's early morning fog and we have it fairly frequently in the fall and winter. I do try to get several different knives in on it. It's my light box.

Thanks, for the info, Dwight! For some reason, the fog in the distant trees reminds me of the dead players coming out of the corn in Field of Dreams.

Thank you!!

5K Qs It had to be the spam!! Your fancy Schrade-Wostenholm canoe is NICE!

Thanks, Nick. I like that canoe a lot, but it sure has a funky way of getting the blades to "play nice", with different numbers of liners on each side.

Had these out today to clean , oil , and sharpen today , so I also carried them . ( old pics )...

Two TEW Tuesday is always a big event for me, Harry!

Outstanding, @Travman!

These two sharp lil things...Wooden theme

View attachment 1036861

Good wood!!

There’s a big ole frost this morning, but I needed a new photo of my 82 Dixie Stockman!

Stupendous OO stockman, Ron!

Sorry for the lack of wood for Woodnesday, but having just finished re-handling the little Klein Sheepfoot, and needing more get acquainted time with this altogether pleasing Buck Blade Forums knife, it’s Elk Wednesday for me.
And like the elk on the little fixed blade, the antler scales on the Klein were rescued from the pet aisle at the store and spared the ignominious fate of becoming a dog chew.View attachment 1036346

Amazing elk trio, Jeff, especially with 2 being DIY!!

Betcha can’t guess...

I’ll save you the trouble.

More pics to follow

The BF knife legend continues! Congrats, Ted!

In a strange coincidence of my rotation schedule, my International Knife this week is a MAM sheepsfoot and my Big Knife is a MAM Iberica liner lock!

Watchpocket Knife this week is a Rough Rider amber jigged bone canittler:

Miscellaneous Knife this week is RR ajb medium (3.5") trapper:

5K Qs ~
Thank you for your always kind and entertaining comments, Gary!

 

[Hickory n steel]

Thanks GT.
It may not have any carbon steel to patina but the aluminum is wearing nicely around the edges.

 

[SteveC]

Thanks 5K Qs !

 

[Prester John]

Congrats on the 2018 BF Buck, Vince!

Thanks, Gary. It turned out very nice.

 

[oldtymer]

You just won't leave that poor Cherry tree alone.
Todays carry

Stupendous OO stockman, Ron!

Thanks Gary!

Post of the week, right there.

Thanks John. @JohnDF - That Pinocchio ornament is nearly 40 years old and to this day is one of our son’s favorites. As a toddler, as soon we put the tree up, he’d take “Noccio” down and carry it everywhere! I had glue the hat back on multiple times.

Lol Gary! 5K Qs - I “won” Santa in greed gift exchange. He’s about 20” tall and the face is almost creepy it’s so real. For the record, he did not come with the tractor green 26.

Today’s carry.

 

[Pàdruig]

Sporting this little gem of Lyle's today. It really is a terrific knife.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

13 years of Blade Forums Tradional annual knives, enough to carry one exclusively each month with a wildcard so I could change my mind once a year.

So far as I continue to evaluate and tune up this year’s annual, the Buck 301 wrapped in Elk I figured I’d take a quick family pic here it is with its 12 brothers gettin’ to know each other a little better.

This is how they all sleep on my nightstand, snug in their little box. I’m runnin’ outta room though, I gotta feeling that next year I’m gonna need a new box.

I don’t have much elk, maybe 3 pieces total. I’m not a fan of odd shaped big antler scales. I’m more a fan of a more balanced less dramatic look. These elk scales suit me perfectly knice and comfortable, knice coloring and they show up knicely in photos.

I can’t say thanks enough to Stephen and the task he took on, bringing us another addition to the family of distinctive Blade Forum’s knives.

Thanks for all you’ve done.

 

[RDaneel]

Always such fine photos, Dean, and this one contains references to 3 famous American companies!

Plain Canoe of the Week is a Rough Rider sawcut brown bone model (that's actually quite fancy):

Fancy Canoe of the Week is a Schrade-Wostenholm I*XL stag canoe (thanks for the GAW, @cchu518 ):

Bailed non-SAK of the Week is a Holub Electrician (thanks, Dave):

- GT

Thanks, Gary! Great Canoes this week. I don't think I have ever seen a Holub electrician before.

That TC is a real dream to look at, Dean. I always enjoy seeing it.

Thanks, Dylan. Your Dark Duo is ravishing in the rain.

Ravishing red bone, Dean!

- GT

Thanks, Gary!
