What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I do the same thing! Sometimes it's just a good excuse to use my knife. It's also a good way to enhance the patina on carbon steel!

A little EJ & BO today! Enjoy your day ladies and gents!
 
Hanging with the Camillus today is a new one that arrived yesterday. This is my first Case large stockman. I decided to go with yellow Delrin and CV steel, since I've enjoyed that combination so much on my Case medium punch stockman.

The new Case is a very impressive. The whole knife is overbuilt in comparison to my GEC Dixie stockman. The pulls are all a perfect 5, with a decent amount of snap. No spring gaps. No blade wobble whatsoever. Sharp out of the box, although maybe a bit coarse in grit. Pinched bolsters. The blade thickness measures to be about .020" behind the edge on all blades, which I consider very appropriate for a knife of this size. I really dig the big wide sheepsfoot. I'm always a bit disappointed when I buy a stockman, and get an undersized sheepsfoot blade, since the sheepsfoot gets as much use as the primary clip. And I always prefer a nice full clip blade in terms of aesthetics. For less than fifty bucks, it's a heck of a knife. Case totally nailed the large stockman.

Nice review. I have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, that I’d planned on using on fishing tackle, but I think I’ll go see if they have a twin of your new Case. I too, am fond of yellow delrin large Stockmen.
Totin' these two for Twosday: an Overland equal end (1951-1953) and a Schrade barehead (1917-1946).

Hang on, Dad. I need to take a picture.

That looks great!
Creamy and dreamy and so dang useful. Great pair, Jeff.

Thanks, Stuart!

Besides Austin Healeys, Land Rovers, and lambsfoot pocket knives, Barbour coats are one of my favorite British products. I was hoping to find one during our visit to Scotland. Anyone visiting Edinburg must seek out one or both of the Armstrongs surplus stores. I found this coat, which is made for today’s weather, for under the Pound equivalent of $50, as well as a heavy handknit wool sweater as well as several classic tweed snap brim caps. Now, I can celebrate my Scottish heritage in style.

Love that ironwood lambfoot, Ron.
Thank you Stuart! :)

While I was in the Land of Nod, the Guardians thread passed 800 pages :) So I am celebrating with a Double Lambsfoot Day! :) Any excuse! ;) :D :thumbsup:

Great compliment to the Camillus, Buzz. Case can do it very well at times :)


Exquisite!!

Took these out of my pocket to take a pic with the horse stall as a backdrop. However Tag took a interest in what I had in my hand. But seemed quite unimpressed once he realized it wasn't something he could eat:rolleyes:

That horse has very good taste :D
 
Wet Wednesday :eek:

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
