What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Gevonovich]

I remember being very confused the first time I saw this knife. "Gev doesn't do new knives..."

I think I have four new folders and two were gifts Oh and a 6 dollar kissing crane lockback whittler which I use

You know me well...maybe I need to turn up the radical novelty

Thank you. I’ll add it, but I’m afraid to peruse that thread. Should I send the invoice(s) your way after I do?

Mmm..."grilled cheese jigging". Much more appetizing than "worm groove".

Agreed. But now I’m thinking grilled cheese is my next quest.

Gevonovich - Thank you Gev. Forgive me for not knowing the pattern number of your UN-X-LD, but I know what I like, and that is a cream puff of a knife.

Carried this one today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

For today my pocket totes will include a new acquisition, the GEC Stockyard Whittler in Osage wood, and a snappy old Robeson split back Whittler from the 20' or 30's.

A present from Jolipapa arrived yesterday, really like this horn Pradel!

GEC Calf Roper #66 is going to get her done today.

 

[Old Hunter]

Two Bucks and 3 polished edges . Plus the newer Buck USA sheath I’ve had for about a year and 8months or so has aged very well with some nice patina View attachment 1176139

Nice Bucks! OH

I measured this again. Today it's 3" exactly; sometimes it's a hair over. Anyway, too long since I've carried it.

Cool little Robeson, and the Stockyard Whittler looks like a winner. I hope to pick up one of those later in the month. I wonder if it could become a true "every day carry", but then I think that about each new knife I have my fickle eyes set on.
Today, I'm still carrying my 1950s? Boker. I don't know why I like it so much. I mean, I sort of do; it's a nice old knife with great steel and lovely worn bone, but there's something else about it that speaks to me. Maybe I can feel that it was once somebody's true "every day carry".

Even the broken blade cuts.

 

[screened porch]

That isn't broken; it's a razor coping blade!

 

[Jolipapa]

A present from Jolipapa arrived yesterday, really like this horn Pradel!

She was made by Gilles Reynewater (https://www.thiers-issard.fr/fr/content/16-savoir-faire, there's a shorter version in English) who bought the Thiers-Issard Cy in 1985 (btw, Thiers is a family name, not the town) and owns a few others, including Sabatier*****Elephant (imho the best of the Sabatier brands for kitchen knives). Probably X75 carbon steel.
(ps I hope the toy soldier arrived in one piece, the gun was already missing. It was part of a comprehensive set of WWI French soldiers , including cavalry and generals, made for the Mokarex coffee brand, one in each 250g unground coffee packet. The deal with Mum was ok I buy this coffee, but you grind it with the Peugeot hand mill!)

I entirely relate to this.
