What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Dschal]

Yes, in the house with -20 windchills.

 

[Frailer]

I had to travel out of state this weekend for a dear friend’s memorial service/wake. My wife and I were traveling light, so I decided to keep my pockets light as well.

The small-yet-perfectly formed GEC 14 + Victorinox Rogue duo performed admirably. So much so that they remain in my pockets today...and may well become my regular carry.

Those Puma lockbacks, steel and stag, are appealing knives, Senhor José! How small are they?


I always enjoy your "thematic" photos, Ken, including this cattle drive with your BF Drover!



Trying to choose between a barehead ebony spear and an ebony sheepsfoot with endcap would be VERY difficult. Beguiling knives, Prester John & @Hkjay !


Thanks, Dennis.


Commendable collection of 6 classics, @Gizler00!


Dynamic dyad, Alan! "What can brown do for you?"


Energetic exercise and exemplary stag make for an excellent day, Ron! Continued success with the weight loss!


Those look flawless, Rachel! What is that slender, seductive top knife???


Such a simple design, but what a glorious gem, Dwight!


Heck of a handful of handsome antler, Taylor!


Immaculate and intriguing pattern, Paul!



Yeah, I forget what an influence lighting and background can have on the appearance of a knife. Speaking of background, is that a fence post or a place mat or what beneath your stag lambsfoot, Vince?


I need to get some white gloves to wear when I use it, though.





Thanks, Jack. Your ivory/ebony combo is a jazzy pair!



Thanks, @Pt-Luso.


Thanks for the helpful info, Ed. I didn't even notice that the "pearl" was outgassing; too bad.


That big shadow stag is a complete knockout, Alan!


Thanks for the reply, John; laudable stands!


Marvelous Tip-Top, Jeff! (You need to contact the pest control guy. )


Nifty match of the wood on your knife and guitar, Steve!


That's the Wright stuff, Tom!


Outstanding Schrade pen, Nick!


I'm just the opposite of you - no square bolster stockman for me, thanks. Great work on the fireplace!


I'm a day late with the pic, but most days I use pocket knives in the kitchen. Sunday I dismembered some vegetables:

Your new Dixie is a dream, Will!


Wood is good, Jack! The Plow and the ironwood prototype are splendid!

If we all like the same things, this hobby and hangout would mean a lot less!

But, alas, all is right in the world, today. 2 square ends with 3 blades.

Today I have a Case small Stockman in navy blue bone.

It is a molcajete, a traditional Mexican version of mortar and pestle. We grind spices in it, and sometimes serve guacamole in it.

I forgot to post pics of some of the knives I'm carrying this week. I'll do that now, then head for bed - nothing better on a frigid night!

Stockman of the Week is a Buck 373 Trio (Chinese Cadet):

Lambsfoot of the Week is Man Jack, an A. Wright stag senator (thanks for the GAW, @R.c.s ):

Nice carries, love the Lambsfoot, its a keeper!

Thanks, GT. That is a Schrade Walden in "butter & molasses" celluloid.

I need to get some white gloves to wear when I use it, though.

Jeff, you’re always teasing us with your guitar projects. I sincerely hope that we get to see some of the finished pieces, maybe in Randy’s instrument thread, along with some traditional cutlery . How’s that Strat coming along? -Lance

Ok Travman , after seeing the great photographs of your 46’s, I could not resist getting this one after foolishly selling my Muscle Bone. Can I send you the bill, since it is your fault? BTW, which sheath did you end up keeping? Send me a message if you would like to sell the other one.

Seriously, these things are amazing. They are works of art that you can use to cut things. The Muscle Bone versions seem to have slightly smoother action, but both types have very strong springs. No complaints from me. What else would you expect from a Whaler?!

Smart move. They are works of art. I love using mine. The Muscle bone version is the user and it has loosened up to perfection on the mainblade. The pull on the main blade is very mild now and super pinchable. I’d rate it at a five now, it was probably an 8 before. The secondary is still tight, but it has mellowed too, maybe a 7.5-8 pull, before it was a 9. I’ve been using both sheaths, but the fold over sheath is the most comfortable for me. The 46 Whaler is super large for a pocketknife, but when you put it in a belt sheath it is just an average sized belt knife. @Horsewright made this sheath and a pancake style sheath for me. I’m sure he will make more if anyone asks him.

I’m on the lookout for one of the single blade Whalers with the easy open notch next.

I’m wearing it right now. Here it is on...

You can see that this sheath keeps the top of the knife some distance from my back. I don’t like anything touching my back fat.

That's a nicely worn in alox, GT. It has a very neat look, like a well used tool.
