What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thank you.

Saturday is sharpening day. Dad is visiting, so I touched up the old timer's Old Timer. Along with the Hartshead, and a J.Howarth from @Jack Black. Thanks, Jack!

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Today a photo of three fabulous Barlow!!!

 

Thank you, Greg, @Leslie Tomville, my good friend, for the opportunity to to obtain one these and USE in my EDC rotation. You were right! Amazing fit and finish and is truly unique in my collection.

 

Those ARE fabulous, José!

 

My favorite, when I was in your area is not too far away...
Frannies in Schiller Park ~ River Rd just north of Irving Pk Rd.

Sorry- no knife pic

Wait. i can remedy that!
Slab ‘o salmon fresh off the grill and Case 2138.

 

That fixed blade is purty

 

Never been there, but I’m sure it’s a great place.That whole area as you travel south on River Rd. Is dotted with these gems. That’s a tasty image, Jeff.

 

I am anxious to see how you do in mixing parts from different makers. I have had a hard time doing that due to each manufacturer having different blade/ spring geometry. I have a medium Camillus stockman that was in bad shape. The main blade had completely worn away where it rides on the spring, so it just flopped around. I had hoped to use a slightly bigger Schrade ciip blade, but where it contacts the spring, it’s a totally different shape.

If you unlock the secret, let me in on it!

Hope we get to see the Camillus TL-29. Love those knives!

Well so far I've pulled apart the Camillus navy camp knife, cleaned the parts and done a dry fit of the parts I'm reusing on it. Which isn't to difficult considering I'm basically taking one layer off. But I'm learning lots, and that if I do many of these mods I'm going to have to make a jig to get the spring back in. Going to take down the klien tomorrow and see where I'm at on fitting everything. I posted pics in the newest traditional thread, but here's one of the Camillus that's definitely NOT being modded

 

Very nice pair!!! Did the Camillus start life as a TL-29?

Lovely Catt and a wonderful image!

Great knife for some great eat'n! That image gave me a Pavlovian response!

Thank you very much Gary!

Great looking couple! That's cool you have worked out a "carry system"

Outstanding trio of an outstanding pattern!

 

Earlier I pulled out these two "pocket friendly" Robesons and figured I should give them a tote today!https://i.imgur.com/40Pnd4m.jpg[/img]']

 

I always love a good old TL-29, especially a Camillus!

 

Y’all have a great day!

Jack Howarth was the owner of A.Wright & Son before John Maleham, the Sleeveboard and Barlow were probably made in the same factory

Hope everyone is having a great weekend The Porch is a busy place these days!

 

Thank you.
Yes, it did, JJ. One of the more recent, black handled ones.
