What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thanks, GT. That trip into the bamboo grove turned into a 4 day venture into futility and fatigue. I got most of it grubbed out just in time for a massive storm on Thursday that tore our area up with downed trees and limbs. I cleared limbs from my yard and from the yard of my late buddy (whose family finally has it on the market). Coupled with working on an annual sports awards banquet for our local youth teams and our four high schools, I've been off the Porch for a spell. I'm glad to limp back up to take a look at all that's been posted in my hiatus. I'm totin' some old friends this Friday - a pair of Primbles:

Track prep. Enjoy your weekend!

 

Just some wax. I used Kiwi neutral shoe polish wax.

 

In addition to the knives I carry each week in a variety of categories as dictated by my rotation schedule, I often carry a couple of "free choice" knives that catch my fancy for the week. This week those knives are a Case Caliber LT347 stockman (I call it large - not sure what Case calls the size) and a Joker 3 1/4" stag lockback:

This stockman today.

 

Thanks GT, much appreciated! They played the lesser Gloria (I agree with you on it’s ranking) at the end of the game, everybody was singing it, strangers giving each other high fives, even some dancing in the streets. It was an amazing experience.

So I am definitely not breaking up the trio until at least this Sunday, and hopefully not until the end of the series . Which is highly unlikely and I only have one more Blue traditional knife

 

Somehow I suspect this is not the "Gloria" sung at Mass.

 

Friday evening and I may need to open some bottles a little later this evening.

 

Lol You are correct, it is an 80’s pop song by Laura Brannigan the team has adopted.

 

That Joker is wild. I love it.

 

Sorry I missed this before Jer!

Yes indeed, I sometimes use mine as a 'coat-pocket knife' in the winter, as it opens so easily, even when wearing gloves

Stunning pic Dwight

Thank you very much Vince, I nearly died when they told me how much the knife was going to cost me!

Smashing stag Gary

Thanks buddy

I bought some Kiwi neutral shoe polish just today (for some leather pouches), for the first time in about 30 years!

Nice Joker GT

I am still struggling with a terrible internet connection here, and I'm afraid it's likely to be like that at least until Monday I'm heading out hiking tomorrow, armed to the teeth! Have a great weekend folks

 

The only other one I am familiar with is the one I heard Patti Smith singing around 1978 or so.

 

@5K Qs ~

You’re not alone, Gt. I have a lot of “favorites” I’ve yet to own.

 

Armed to the teeth, indeed! English, Swiss, & Finnish.

 

You no own house. House own you.

Good luck, and as my old boss always said as I pulled out with a full load of propane, “Keep ‘er rubber side down!”

 

@Amir Fleschwund @SteveC @5K Qs Thanks Jeff, Steve and Gary for the nice words. Really cool pic with that white moth or butterfly? Jeff! Gary I like that Joker lockback! Steve, I always enjoy seeing your oldies!

@Fodderwing Killer photos and knives as always!

@Duckdog Glad to see you back and a beautiful pair of Primble’s today!

@cigarrodog Awesome lamb foot sir! Is that buffalo horn or bone?

@r8shell Love the work you did on your RR Rachel, it looks like a century old knife now!!

 

Thanks Gary, A good friend gifted me this knife so that makes it even more special !


As for a 1951

Great group of knives, Jack. That must be quite some hike you're headed out for... Mordor perhaps?

 

Cades cove today. Trying to keep the kids away from the tourist trap areas.

 

Switching up my watch pocket carry...
