What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I’m pairing these two again today. It’s hard to go wrong with Ironwood or Red Sawcut Bone! They are two of my favorites!

 

Haven't had this one out for a while, it's surprisingly light and extremely well finished

 

Day behind here. This was yesterdays carry, #72 African Blackwood lockback and an orange bone RR small stockman.
Coffee time at the moment, not yet sure what will leave the house with me when I head out today.

 

A nice pair, and photo of them!

 

I got caught up on this thread waiting for enough light. TEW LF, and Case 7254 Trapper provide pocket ballast today.

 

Nice to see Pearl stepping out with a fine English gentleman.

Another fantastic water picture, Dwight.

I love the diamond shield on your trapper.

 

This is proving to be a potent pairing.

 

Todays carry a nice yellow Boker

 

Those are great knives for the money. I have one in orange...

 

Good Morning, Y’all. It’s a beautiful day, in Georgia. All the best and enjoy your day.

 

They are John, it's one of those knives that sits in the back of the drawer, for a time,,,,, and you rediscover all over again.

 

That is so true. I think I'll take it on my next camping trip, it should make a fantastic camp knife.

 

Here is the long and short of my cutting potential for the day.

 

Thanks for reminding of that! It was one thing that caught my eye in the first place, but somehow had forgotten it!

A Peanut with almost anything else makes a potent combination, especially a capable slicy longer blade.
I suppose I should include mine in my daily photos, because it’s always there no matter what else I’m totin.

 

Blackwood Wednesday.

 

I'm mixing things up a bit today. The Camillus is still with me, but I swapped out the Case mini-trapper for a punch stockman in yellow Delrin. I vacillate between these two patterns, as to which I love most.

And for show and tell, I have a Case burnt amber bone Backpocket knife, with 154-CM blade. The covers were originally a bit light in color for my taste, looking almost like oatmeal. So I eventually dyed them a bit deeper, and I'm very happy with how they came out. Overall, the Backpocket is a wonderful knife. Nice and slim, and not too heavy for its size. The big clip blade is beautifully styled, and cuts like nobody's business. Nice jigging on the covers.

If I had to pick a weakness in this model, I'd say it was the half stop. The pull is so strong and there's so much travel in the blade as it springs to the half stop position, the nail nick tends to rip right through your finger nail. I'd really prefer that this knife didn't have a half stop at all. But it's a minor quibble. I own quite a few Backpockets, so they couldn't be all that bad.

 

Awesome pic, thinking you should send it to Jose'. Love the knife stand!
¡Olé!

Nice one, and nice connection to him

Great looking bones there sir


A Katz stockman today

 

Thanks! I've sent it to him, and I think he has used it.

Not only is the edge sharp on that knife, but the tip is like a needle: I used it to open a case of water bottles that was shrink-wrapped, and I accidentally pierced a bottle; wasn't even using much force. Water started gushing out because the shrink wrap was pressing the bottles tightly together! I just gotta be careful.
