What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[CelloDan]

Very interesting I never knew they made this version.
I still think the classic version looks best, but yours is certainly interesting.

They're such a comfortable knife in hand, it's a shame their price to material ratio keeps so many people away.
Mine holds an edge really well, I certainly don't think a knife of this cost necessarily has to come in some kind of fancy premium type blade steel.

I just found out recently that what I had bought a couple of years ago was not a regular production Grohmann mini Russell. I bought it from a store that is now closed after the owner passed away.
I do agree that the regular drop point looks better than the clip point.
The ergonomics are the best, I only have about 25 knives but no other knife I have is as comfortable in my hand as this one.
I bought it because being Canadian I wanted a knife made in Canada, and the history of it's founder is very interesting. Same reason I bought my opinels, bucks, cases, victorinox. laguiole,. I enjoy learning about the history behind these knives.
For what I read, Grohmanns are very popular among Canadian outdoor/hunter types.
Also the lock is rock solid. When you hold the knife at both ends and try to force blade play it feels like a solid piece. Maybe because it is a mid lock. My back locks have a certain "bendiness" to them when I do this (even if they no blade play at all).

Anyhoo LOL, I will have to get me regular one now

I pulled these out for the Spear Blade Thread. The Orange knife is a Farmer and the Champagne is a Pioneer. The Silver one is a vintage Cadet. It has ribbed aluminum and a pen blade instead of the file found on the modern Cadets. What great knives to throw in your pocket and tote around!

Today’s carry is also my latest addition: an old Case 61024-1/2.

As I understand it, Case stopped producing this marvelous little knife over 50 years ago. I believe it’s high time they bring it back.

That's a nice little jack. If case brought it back it could be nice, but it would not be as good as an old one like yours.

You know I love that stag Lambsfoot of yours!
Is it in a lemon or orange tree?

I'm really enjoying seeing the blossoms from places warmer than where I am. This weekend the last of the snow has melted from the north side of the house, so the garden is just about to start waking up.
