What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[cudgee]

Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ.

I can relate to that. More on the fools side i'm afraid to say.

 

[Old Engineer]

I actually carried these 2 today but never had time to get some pictures . With all this heat , maybe these older pictures may make you feel a little cooler . My 2 favorite Stags today because today ends with a "Y" . One of my Northfield 73's and a Northfield 43 .

A bit of Alpine summer wibes today. Stay cool, fellow porch dwellers!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Toting two jacks for Tuesday; 1 GEC American jack and 1 Robeson English jack, two great allies!

Thank you GT. Mighty fine Sunday Quartet!

Thanks, Dwight.
What a knife! What a photo!

Your schedule allowed you a great trio of cutlery this week, GT.

Thanks, John.

Same ol' Same ol'

Your words suggest a boring situation, but the photo belies that!

...
A couple in rosewood today:

Robust rosewood, Rachel!

5K Qs - Thank you G.T. Your equation knife rocks.

Thanks, Harvey. I agree that my mathematical knife rocks, but your damascus snakewood shocks!

...
Thanks, GT. That Primble is a legacy from my stepfather, as are most of my nicer knives, and I don't have much information on their particulars. The covers' color was darker until I cleaned some grime off with mineral oil. Given their age, I assume that the original color had actually lightened with wear, but that's speculation. Your stag sowbelly is a precious little piggy.
...
Thanks, again, GT. I see it as a classic coffin, given the sharp angles, especially on the bottom bolster. This old Hammer Brand is my idea of a coke bottle handle:

Stuart, I appreciate your providing the info that you were able to for that stunning old Primble, and for the illustrated instruction about coffins and Cokes.

Too lazy to give it much thought, I picked another Primble to pack in my pocket today.

Thanks, guys. @Cutfinger , I can understand the English jack relation; I think that it may be the capital bolsters. This is Primble's idea of an English jack (a #5727 from 1940-1968) at 4 1/8".

You say "lazy", but I say "Peerless Primbles on Parade"!

haha you'd be lucky if a carpenters pencil would fit

Starting to get things together for next weeks camping trip. Figure two knives should cover any task I encounter.

Wow, great picks with a ton of combined utility!

...
I like to pick the knife in your group that I like the best. That was difficult today, but the RR stag sowbelly stockman wins!

Thanks, Gary. Your QQ is looking good as usual.

Thanks for your ongoing support, Dean.
(I finished reading Prelude to Foundation yesterday, an excellent follow-up to Robots and Empire. I can see why someone could choose a username honoring RDaneel. )

Sunday special.

Cool color match, Dean! That Case with its Roman "20" must be twice as good as your old "10" Barlow.

...

Twins with different covers. I like them both, it is Sunday, so why not?

Sunday Best Totes, Ron & @Mayonardo!

Yes, the sowbelly really fits my hand nicely! Well deserved positive retorts to you great choices and musings!!!

Thanks, it seemed apropos!

My late father would have loved your "Euler's Identity" knife; I think about him each time I see it! Quite a musical quartet Gary!!!
...

I appreciate your replies, JJ. Did your father have some mathematical interests?

That top knife looks like a winner, especially with that fascinating shield!

My tote pair today will be a couple Robeson jacks; a large post war Daddy Barlow and a medium sized pre war PocketEze.

Your Robesons rule!

Dug this out for the ABC thread, old pic but I put some Lemon Oil on the scales and it will be in the pocket today.

Can a small knife be majestic?? Will, your example makes me answer in the affirmative!

Huckleberry Boys Knife

(Thanks, Randy.)

Classic jack in basic black; very fine, Vince!

...
Camillus

Such captivating bone on your Camillus classic, Steve!

Totin some Micarta because it's Monday and some Horn because it's a Lambsfoot!

Great choices and reasons, Ron!

Teardrop today.

Artistic blade, Dean!

...
Treated to a wondrous happening this morning.....
...
Had a E. C. Simmons peanut in my hand

Thanks for the engaging story of the aerial/arboral "dogfight", Gev!
Wondrous old peanut on display!

Striking "Grand Canyon" on the cover of your stag HHB lambsfoot, Dwight!

These two for me today, after a long weekend which included getting stung in the face by a wasp .

That experience sounds way less than ideal, Tom! I hope there's not too much swelling (or allergic reactions). At least you have a fine pair of knives to help ease the pain!

Sometimes, "Same ol' same ol'" is comforting.

Good Morning Everybody
Starting with my usual Lambsfoot Tote and I'll add another knife to it later...

Moore Maker Gunstock Trapper by Queen doing work this morning. Hmm, I wonder what's in the box?
