What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Eli Chaps]

I have a pair of Wharncliffe trappers with me today: mini and tiny.

Sweet! I wish they were still making the Wharncliffe/Clip combo in more scale options. I think it's a tremendous knife.

That's a very special knife, Dwight - a fine tribute to a iconic plant. Thanks for showing both sides.

Still rocking the Camillus scout and Oregon Trapper combo. They work really well together.

I’m carrying two today. A 43 Oregon Trapper in Pioneer Bone for the heavy tasks and my Ashley’s Choice Lambsfoot just because I like it sooo much!

I’m carrying my new “Berry” alox Pioneer and my chestnut CV Peanut.

A pair today...

I have a pair of Wharncliffe trappers with me today: mini and tiny.

Those some pretty powerful pairings, fellas, with a nice sprinkling of some handsome, classic knives. Thanks to all y'all.

That Imperial sings to me.
"Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday"

Haha, thanks , Stuart. That one doesn't get nearly the pocket time it deserves. It's nothin' fancy but as a cutting tool, it gets the job done.... Man, I am realizing I a real soft spot for that old Imperial .

About 20 years ago my sister-in-law had finally gotten a good job after a long spell of terrible jobs. She asked me what I wanted for Christmas that year because she could afford to buy presents.

I just told her a knife figuring she’d just get me some gas station jarbenza or a Swiss Army knife. Well much to my surprise she did some research and after much internal deliberation (it was a lot of money to spend on a Christmas present let alone on a knife according her).

Well all her research led her to this knife, a Laguiole Rossignol. What I consider to be the perfect gentleman’s knife and the best knife to take to a restaurant to aid in eating your meal.

We lost her to colon cancer a few years ago and this knife is the only thing I have from her so every so often I throw it in my pocket for the day and when ever we go out to eat I always make sure it’s in my pocket.

It’s started more positive dialogue regarding knives, the carrying and daily use of than any other object in my pocket including any SAK.

Today’s a light duty day and it’s about as capable a blade for any task I’m likely to encounter so without further delay.

A typical example of this pattern the horn is rich, the strength of the backspring and the subsequent snap when closing are insanely strong. The blade is 440C, thin and razor sharp but it sufferes from a common ailment to these knives. The small belly in the blade tends to get a flat spot on it from hitting the backspring when closed.

With all it’s quirk and foibles I love this knife because it reminds me of my deceased sister in law and how much effort she put into trying to find me a knife I truly appreciate.

Thanks Kathy, today’s knife is for you, I’ll never stop missing you.
