What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[TheFactor]

That looks like a solid punch! How are you liking it, so far?

I’m very happy with this one .

Feels great in hand and it’s just a all around beautiful knife . First class fit and finish just a joy to fondle but has all the tools for the chores you have in store for it ​

I’ve had these two traveling companions in my pockets today!

Fantastic pairing Ron

Morning folks, going with these two today Hope everyone is having a good week

My wooden pocket totes for today will be the very handy GEC 15 and the sleek slicer Laguiole en Aubrac, both wearing ebony covers.

Yesterday I carried these two, the Schrade Minuteman MM2 (Ulster 58OT Bicentennial variation) for EDC, and an ALOX Farmer - my plumbing repair knife, in a belt sheath. Plumbing’s done, so I’ll stick with the MM2 for the balance of the week. OH

I gave this CASE Half Whittler a potash bath and pleased with the result. It arrived a couple of years ago with what was laughingly called Burned Salmon Bone, only they forgot to cook it hideous pink and white thing. Soaking it in potash is not for most knives, certainly not carbon/iron ones anyway But after washing and metal polish it looks presentable. I don't know if potash needs fixing? Hopefully it won't run off in handling...

My wife Nichole, in the blue shirt, has her Poco on, in a roughout Pancake sheath. Poco is Dave Spanish for not enough steel left to make another Gordo:

So, you've met Grandma, huh?
Thanks, Stuart.
Hey, that little SW jack is sweet!



The Stockyard Whittler looks like tomorrows classic. But that old Remmy jack!

Thanks, and I agree completely. 50 years from now the whittler may be viewed as a classic from another era as the Remington is now.

Still carrying my newest, the stockyard whittler. Paired yesterday with this Schatt & Morgan single spear blade, jigged bone knife.View attachment 1174873

I have gone back and forth with this Robeson, trying to decide if it’s ebony or composition. I googled “Robeson 12227”, and unbelievably or not, found the exact knife - THIS, particular one- listed on a sale website (not the one I bought it on a couple of years ago). From the description ~ overly polished like the chrome grill of a ‘48 Buick Roadmaster, the weak snap on the main spear, etc, ~ it sure sounded identical. The photos confirm that I ended up with that exact same knife.

The guy selling it says composition handle scales. Well then, why do I see wood grain with my magnifying glass?
I suppose I could heat up a pin and stick it to it to see if it melts, but that seems kind of destructive, and I don’t care enough either way to do that.

Then, I found this:

https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/robeson-shuredge-catalog-1908-1930-1811417821


It says “ebony”. Which means it is suitable for Woodnesday totage.

Robeson 12227 EO Teardrop Jack, 1908-1930, and modified Camillus TL-29 jack with bocote scales (my poor man’s GEC 15 Boys Knife)

Thank you, Rachel.
I think it's going to look even better with age and use.

The fun part of going back through the collection and carrying knives I haven't given any love to lately is the evening maintenance zen time cleaning, sharpening (if needed), stropping, and oiling tomorrow's knife. Dug out the GEC 66 last night, and it's riding along today with the SAK Compact.

I enjoy that time too.

Getting in on Wooden Wednesday. 2007 GEC #73EC in Snakewood. Will be rolling with a non-traditional partner today.

 

[Prester John]

The theme is "wood." Old-fashioned carbon steel.
