What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Fodderwing]

Two great photos & knives!

Thanks a bunch Mitch!

 

[Ramrodmb]

Just got back from a couple days of Adirondack snowshoeing. The Remington Scout proved an excellent companion.

I'd love to hear more about that adventure.
I bet that Remington was nice to have in your pocket. That's a great scout!

I carried this avatar mini copperhead, probably the most carried knife I owns shown it this photo with it's littermate a Small Texas Jack in the same amber bone. Both of these knives are favorites. I own both of these knives because of this thread; the TJ because of Flymon (Stu) and Protourist (Mack) displaying their knives in this same thread back in the late 200 pages in 2010...

They keep getting better and better, Ed! The pocket wear mellows them out so nice..

Nice knives GT, are they calling that a "modified tanto"?! They want keel-hauling!
...

Yeah, I don't know what a traditional name for that blade shape would be, but "modified tanto" doesn't sound very traditional to me (and they call the spearpoint blade a "drop point"). Congrats on the impressive pair you're toting, Jack! Didn't realize you'd had a 2018 BF Buck on the way!

I got one for my Birthday!

Not bad for the price you say! I agree with you Travman!

Those are some fine Buck canoes, guys! Maybe we should start a Buck Canoe Cult!

Out of town visiting kids and grandkids this weekend. This knife made the trip with us.

Churchill was quite the traveller, right? I hope you have a wonderfull trip, Ken!

A couple of elk staggers today. Not shown: the Wenger SAK because I didn’t want to look like I have a knife problem.View attachment 1041907

Your elk rehandle of that Camillus reminds me of this photo of a Spanish stag knife with some dog chews, Jeff.

Totin this 1995 Bulldog two blade, stag Jack. ...

The shield on your Bulldog is really interesting, too, Paul!

Thanks for the canoe compliment Gary! Not been to the beach since the first week of October!

Probably getting pretty late in the season for beach trips, Ron!

Still riding the Remington new knife high today, as I fend off bear and moose in the Adirondacks.
...

Hope you have fine, favorable fending, Buzz!

...
I'm carrying my latest acquisition, also a Remington

Western #657 today

Couple of beauties, Steve!! May I borrow your time machine sometime??

Thank you, Gary. I have one EDC, you have four - which are all special.

Thanks, Dean.

Hilarious, Dave!

The knife I'm totin' today.

Wow, that's something I certainly don't see every day! Is that new, Dean?

View attachment 1042043
Thought I'd give the new guys a try

Intriguing covers on your new RRs, David! How big is that stockman?

...
- Stuart

Your Battle-Axe gunstock has some VERY handsome stag, Stuart!

View attachment 1042071 Just made it to Texas for the holidays.

Have a great holiday visit, Joshua! Your stag pair seems to have handled the trip well!

Very very nice knives everyone!! I added this Joe Allen slimline to accompany the Camillus today.

Notable pair, Nick!!

Going a little lighter today:

Lots of features represented in that trio, Jer!

...
Always a treat to see those Hardy Perennials GT
...
Hope everyone is having a great pre-Christmas weekend I'm carrying these two today, my Yorkshire Rose Lambsfoot (named by @dc50 - thanks Dave), and a GEC 85 Barrett @btb01 carried all the way from Minnesota to Sheffield to give me

Thanks for taking note of my EDC quartet, Jack. Congrats on a propitious pair of single bladers!

View attachment 1042369 Have a great Sunday!

Not exactly sure what that is, Jeff, but IMHO it's kinda creepy!

This one ticks a lot of boxes for me: Single slim clip blade, no half stops, just over 3-1/2", beautiful jigged bone, round bolsters, great fit and finish, light pull with crazy strong snap, and it's an unusual pattern (never seen one like it). Since it's built on the medium stockman frame, I'm calling it the 1/2 Stockman

Intriguing knife, John! Was it "born" that way, or is it the result of one or more mods?

I do very much appreciate it, GT.

You know your Star Trek, John!

GT it didn't take but an hour or two for the elves to whip them up.

5K Qs Thanks GT! I thought you might enjoy that cannitler, buying or window shopping.

[5K Qs]

I think they're poker dice. '10' is as low as they go.
Just using them to separate the scuffed plastic from the wrinkled hanky to try to get a background that confuses the camera into focussing on the knives.

Maybe they're related to pinochle, which has a 48-card deck (2 copies of each card 9 thru Ace in each suit); that would fit nicely on 8 dice. (But I have no idea how you'd deal out a hand with dice.)

Me, too! She got me years later!

Thanks for the kind words, GT!
Please do post your doggies, would love to see them!

They've showed up here now and then, Dennis. (maybe search for "Gandalf" or "Bella" in posts I've made)

Thanks, Gary, but the hat would not be balanced, then.

See, that show what I know about Stetsons, Vince! I thought maybe the AC would help you achieve a fashionable rakish tilt.

Thanks a lot pal, be very interested to hear more about Rough Rider's carbon steel offerings

Put me down for one too GT! E

...
You can't die before you get the calendar done, you have two customers now!

Jack, I wonder where we send our dollar to?
...

Very cool carbon RR's! Are the blades coated? All the carbon RR's that I have seen had coated blades and that kind of defeats the purpose for me.
I really dig the cars and box art too.

Don't send any calendar cash until I get a few more details hammered out, OK, guys?
These carbon RRs do NOT have coated blades, other than coated at the factory with some kind of oil. Standard mirror finish that is developing a patina with use just like a Case or an old Imperial. Thanks for the car compliments.

Wishing everyone a Blessed and Merry Christmas!

There's the Porch Christmas card!

I agree with Dennis; great photo and message, Leslie!

I can't believe how fast this thread moves and how many super knives/pics are posted. It is an absolute pleasure to look thru. Carrying this one today for Sowbelly Sunday ( that's a thing right ):

I'll fully support the idea of "Sowbelly Sunday"! Your Cripple Creek looks outstanding!

...
Thanks for your kind comments, GT. The Woodsman has 2 springs and is a handful. Also, the covers are jigged Delrin. Though well done, I think the previously posted Woodsman had more bone-like ones. I like the slanted bolsters on your new RRs and the Cannons did make me go a little crazy when I spied them. I'm OK now.
... - Stuart

I always enjoy your comments, Stuart; thanks!

...
Thanks, Gary! I also think the jigging is very similar.

As far as a comparison of the two Forum knives, I've compared them and they are basically the same pattern (double ended jack, clip and sheepfoot). Covers, spring set up, bolsters, etc are different though. I'd be hard pressed to pick between the two.

Your new yellow RRs are neat, I look forward to more pics.
...

Thanks for your info and compliments, Dean.

GT, I love seeing those old Christmas presents that you and your brothers received as kids! That's really awesome that you've hung onto them. Merry Christmas to you and your family, my friend.

Thanks, and same to you, Shawn! I wish I could have managed to keep some other childhood gifts like Daisy air rifles, Ted Williams baseball gloves from Sears, etc.

I have been carrying the 2018 Buck 301 Forum Knife on non-work days since I got it. Today I used it to cut down a number of heavy cardboard boxes to fit in the recycling bin. It's really good at that.

Better be careful, John! Sounds like you're really enjoying the experience of trying out a new knife. You don't want to fall back into a habit of always looking forward to your next purchase.

Gorgeous jigging on those two Nick

Thanks Jack! Simple and classy lambsfoot you have, I like it a lot.

Boy, Nick, you know how to pack a punch with that pairing. Like Steve's posts, that slimline is simply sublime. You guys are keeping the bar pretty high.

Thanks Stuart! That Allen slimline is one of my favorite knives, so much so I don’t use it much. I need to get over that and give it more love. Your abalone lockback is exquisite!

Superb jigging on both of those beauties, Nick!

Thank you for the nice words! The midnight stag covers on your Case is real cool, nice swedge on that wharncliffe too. And the TC you’re toting today is probably my fav TC release.

Notable pair, Nick!!

Thanks GT! Liking your yeller knives!

I've had a wonderful year posting pictures and chatting with old & new friends here on the porch.

Merry Christmas & Good Health to All,

- Del & Mrs. Oro

Looks like Santa came early to casa Oro, Del. Nice stash.

Your Battle-Axe gunstock has some VERY handsome stag, Stuart!

Thanks, GT, and I was pleased to see your quotidian quartet posted earlier. I like consistent consistency.

Thanks Stuart! That Allen slimline is one of my favorite knives, so much so I don’t use it much. I need to get over that and give it more love. Your abalone lockback is exquisite!

Thanks for the compliment, Nick. Your slimline has me pawing through piles looking for a slim carry. Stay tuned.

Maybe one of those questions the consideration of which leads not to edification.

 

[jc57]

You don't want to fall back into a habit of always looking forward to your next purchase.

No chance of that, GT. I would have passed on this year's forum knife if it had not ticked off all the boxes. I knew exactly what I'd be getting and knew it was something I would want to carry and use, and at a great price. I doubt something like that is going to roll around again for me any time soon.

[JohnDF]

Intriguing knife, John! Was it "born" that way, or is it the result of one or more mods?

I do not know for sure. It doesn't have a pattern number, so it may be a mod. If so, you can't tell.

You know your Star Trek, John!

Almost as well as you apparently

Thanks Stuart!

Thanks for the kind words my friend I'm not sure I'll carry the Forum Knife much, but I wanted to order one to say thanks to @skblades, and I am very grateful for @r8shell's assistance in getting hold of a nice one

Don't send any calendar cash until I get a few more details hammered out, OK, guys?

Can't you take me Dollar before Sterling drops anymore GT?!

Christmas Eve! Wow, doesn't seem like 2 minutes since the last one! I hope that everyone has a lovely time. I've got friends and family visiting, but not until later (it's not 8.00am here yet). Treating myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day

 

[Will Power]

Merry Christmas & New Year to all here!

The Hare was snapped in the December twilight in the garden in town and is my Christmas card this year.

The other two are the carry for Christmas Eve.

Regards, Will

Sorry GT, I accidentally snipped this out of my quote above! Thanks for the info, I went and found your old post about them in the RR thread. They're not available here yet, but I'm sure they will be. A welcome addition

 

[ISKRA]

This one will do just fine for Christmas Eve. Dear Porch dwellers, I wish you all happy holidays. Merry Christas!
