What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

One of the things that makes this thread so enjoyable is how the photos combine trad cutlery with our other activities - work and/or pleasure. Fishing, hiking, photography, gardening, culinary creation and consumption, sports, and Musical Monday:D...
View attachment 1119409 View attachment 1119410 Posing with my 1955 J45 is this same reworked TL-29 as yesterday. At the risk of being boring, I’m going to carry this altogether pleasing little jack knife until I am able to resume my normal activities.

Or perhaps I should paraphrase Igor in Young Frankenstein ~ (Ab)normal?:confused:

Sometimes certain things just "click" with us. Oftentimes its something unexpected, for instance this 44. I can't seem to leave it behind. Having a dedicated belt sheath helps, because there's room in my pockets for other carries. But there's more to it than that. To be honest seeing others post this pattern I always thought "Looks really nice, but uncomfortable to use" . Great looking pattern, but in my view it had a bunch of corners. Then I was graciously gifted this one by @r redden , and to cut my rambling short I'll just say , Boy has it really "clicked" for me!:cool::thumbsup:

Thanks! It's a 3WT Ultralight setup, great for the small streams. I had the rod made a decade ago. Most of my dry fly fishing is on Nine Mile Creek, just a little south of the old Camillus Cutlery site, about 20 minutes from my home.
I get by with a pocket knife, like the Case-Bose. I catch and release trout, unless I get a big one.

Sounds like heaven. Good fishing 20 minutes from home is a dream. I have a little stream I fish, close to home, but all the fish are small. But I still fish it a lot because it's still fun.

Thank you. I did a quick search for a Schrade Jr Cattle, but no luck. Off to look for Case...

“Jr” is a Case moniker. Try searching for
“Schrade Middleman”....voila!

The Middleman series includes the 33OT Jack, and the 34OT Stockman.
Not sure what the model numbers were in the jigged bone, pre Old Timer/delrin days.

Jr cattle is not a case moniker, that is the actual pattern name. Schrade just called it a cattle knife but many other makers referred to the 3 3/8" cattle knife as a junior, for example the camillus 75 is called junior in catalogs. The 856 was the last cattle knife variant that schrade made and it ceased in the early 60's. Case doesn't call the 63090 a jr cattle knife, they say it's a medium stockman, which is wrong. The schrade middleman is a serpentine frame and is not the same as their jr cattle.

I have Middleman Jacks and Stockman knives, they don't seem the same to me.

That's what I was thinking too. The Jr Cattle looks like a medium sized equal end.

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a terrific weekend.

I'm carrying a couple of great knives today (in my opinion, of course :D).

Thanks Jack, much appreciated! I have read that from some of the more veteran members, that the Porch used to have a less frenetic pace. Kind of difficult for me to imagine a less lively atmosphere than what we have today. It must be a testament to more people discovering the classics :D
