What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Half/Stop Half/Stop Thanks very much Ron, the Carved Stagbone series is generally very high calibre in my experience, like them a lot. By co-incidence, I was using a Queen City this evening, one that you very kindly gave to me, great gesture my friend, always appreciated:cool::thumbsup:

Regards, Will
Thanks Will! I’m glad your still enjoying that Queen City! :thumbsup::)
 
Paul, they say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Great looking knives Jeff! The blood red 66 is choice.
 
Jack, if you look up the word character in Webster’s you will surely find a photo of this Lambsfoot! For anyone that loves wood as I do I find it strikingly beautiful! :thumbsup: :D


Very nice Queen there Will! :thumbsup: In my opinion, one of their best Jigged Bone varieties. :)

Today I’m carrying a #77 Northfield Yankee Jack with Kingwood and my Ashley’s choice Lambsfoot, Sambar of course! :D

Fantastic pic Mark :thumbsup:

Vintage Rogers (Sheffield) Easy to photograph, but difficult to convey the holographic effect that the gold bits present.

I think you've done a great job of photographing it my friend :) Does it have a Rodgers mark? It's from the Richards factory (though Rodgers were part of the same group towards the end) :thumbsup:
 
Boy, are there some fine knives being posted these days!! I'm doubling down on Wooden Wednesday today, totin' a Cattaraugus equal end jack (1886-1963) and a John Primble (India Iron Works) rase knife (1890-1940). The rase, used to scribe lines and Roman numerals in wood, is not actually being used today, but is being carried to a gathering of my friends this afternoon at our local watering hole for discussion with some woodworking buddies. I have seen the results of a rase being used: an uncle in coastal North Carolina had his retirement home built by local shipwrights in the 1950s. They numbered all of the joists and rafters with Roman numerals. just as the did the ribs and planking on the fishing boats they built.

Incredible pair Stuart. Interesting story about your uncle's house. I'd love to see a house built by shipwrights. Have a good visit at the watering hole.

Wow, very cool! I'm from North Carolina and I also call myself a woodworker but I have never seen a knife like that! Very interesting thanks for sharing.
