What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

But the round ends just aren’t growing on me. Love the secondary blade shapes and she slices like the dickens. The color is perfect. The shield is sweet. Jigging is a dream to run my fingers across and grippy. Her only downfall is she has round ends!

Joey, I completely understand you not liking the round ends. I’m willing to take one for the team, and throw in a bonus too!!! Since the knife and your COBRA both have round ends I’ll fly down and you can get rid of both at the same time. This should end your frustration

Lol! Good one! Funny thing is, I’d actually sell them both. The 82 would require a whole lot less though.

And in truth, I like my cars and women curvy, and my knives square ended..... lol!!!

This zulu is a really great build by Manny Saldana. Nice thin grind and slices like no other!

Today I have something quite different, a slipjoint from Manly Knives of Bulgaria.

Cool pair, Dave.
My son went to Sofia Bulgaria a couple of years ago. He picked up this one in a little shop. Pretty rough, but it has it's charms. The backspring is a monster, scares me a bit to open.

Sword Brand Jack today

Nice pairing!
What model of Martin is that? I have a Special D-16, and a 000-1

Northwoods for me with a large and in charge backup!

And caught the misses putting her 78 to good use!

Cutting yarn appears to be the only documented use* of a traditional pocket knife among those of us on this here porch, on this here day, the twentieth day of January, 2019.

Please thank Mrs. Northwestcut for us.


*meaning actually cutting something, not fondling or admiring

Jeff, I just couldn't let yarn cutting be the only thing our knives were used for today. So here is my Crucible Knife Co. helping prepare a little snack while the wife and I watch the football game.

I've been MIA and apologize for the radio silence, just been busy after the snow of last week. A CT scan on Friday (it was kinda cool to experience and barium ain't too bad, though I did go wash my mouth out with an Imperial stout afterwards; and yesterday, we adopted a new family member: Loki, a 2 year old male Lab/Pit mix from a local rescue group. Here's a picc of Loki trying to settle in at the closest fireplace that he could find (I had 3 of our 4 fireplaces going, it's getting really cold here, well, for us):

Football and dog walking has consumed today. I've carried this one since yesterday morning:

I am hopelessly behind on this thread, but I did want to get in some thank-yous.

Amazing bone!

Holy smokes those cover on both knives are amazing......come on GEC that's how it's done!

D Duckdog The brown one jigging like the old Case’s. Killer pair.

Gorgeous Stuart

Two beautiful jacks there Stuart!

Beautiful, Stuart! Wonderful jigging and color, just great.

Sensational pair, for shur, Stuart!

Thanks to all y'all.
I've gone through all of the postings and there are some very fine knives shown. I'll try to get around to applauding them in a post soon.

I just got back from a weekend of snowshoeing in the Adirondacks. It was a great time, making my way through 2 feet of fresh powder. I took a quick shot of the Remington while I was on the trail.

Thanks, Dennis Yeah it's scary when the backspring is like a bear trap These Wasps have 4 stops like a rachet, takes a bit of getting used to.
Once you have opened and closed a couple dozen times you get the hang of it.

No surprise I suppose, this one rides around today a bit;

Beautiful dog, Stuart! He looks like he's really happy! .....am concerned about him being "Loki",...hope it's not a portends of his future fiascoes!
