What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

It's been a while since I have been on this forum. Otter today in my pocket.

Case 6318 in pocket and 6227 in watch pocket. Both of these from the big flea market haul a couple weeks ago. Thanks to @Old Hunter I finally determined the 6318 is Chestnut Bone, and I believe that's what the 6227 is also. Tang stamp puts it between 1940-1964. Cleaned up better than I had hoped. Just haven't had the heart to file the tip down yet.

I think Case did a great job on that whole series. I've got the Tribal Lock and the Mini Trapper and they are both excellent.

My Lloyd Trapper is back on pocket duty today. Sorry about the bite out of my Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich. I was hungry!;)

I've got a crew here removing my cracked and heaving garage floor. Lots of jack hammering going on. They're promising they'll have a new floor in this week. Fingers crossed.

That’s great, Chris! And your flea market prowling fun and fortune is shared by your wife. I call that winning.

I was undecided on what I would carry today until I saw your 2 gorgeous M.O.P.'s . I especially like the Catt.
I acquired this Shapleighs while at the Rendezvous from Charlie @waynorth .

Gary, I own two of those wonderful knives! I don't have a Mercator though.
...
Click to expand...
I'll bet you'd like a Mercator if you got one, Dean. :thumbsup::) It's a big 1-blade lockback, which I'd normally consider 3 strikes against it, but I found out that I like it a lot anyway!

A knife for a calm day. :)

Pretty pastoral picture of your I*XL Barlow, Dean. :thumbsup::cool::cool: (When I was a kid, we'd sometimes swim at a place called Shady Shores, a name that could apply to that pond. ;))

GT, eagle-eyed eff was correct. The Case trappers were resting on a cut limb crotch from a white oak from which I removed the bark to expose the exterior burl lines. It kinda spiffs up the old log pile.
...
Your teardrop makes me weep with joy, GT.

That's why the limb looked so unfamiliar to me, Stuart. :rolleyes: Now that you provided that info, suddenly my memory says, "Oh, yeah, that's actually very similar to the look of the red oak branch after I whittled off the outer bark."
I often have the same reaction to the chestnut jigged teardrop. ;)

5K Qs 5K Qs This knife fills out the hand a bit more. A bit heftier but nicely so. It also has a somewhat unique lanyard attachment via a pin integrated in the butt of than handle.

It's a good looking and well finished knife.

Don't think you can go wrong.

Thanks for some of your impressions of that RR carbon bow trapper. :thumbsup::)

Thanks Gary!!! The only stag I have seen that looks distinctive are several examples from Puma that I have owned over the years.:rolleyes:

Speaking of stag, your Lambsfoot senator looks gorgeous as do your other two choices of bull horn and bone!:thumbsup::thumbsup::D

Thanks for your opinions, JJ; I appreciate your replies. :)

JJ Cahill said:
I felt like a couple from Robeson for my totes today; a rock solid scout from the 1911-20 period and an ultra keen edged jack from the 1922-39 era. :D
Click to expand...
Ravishing bone on your Robeson pair, JJ! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Is the jack a standard teardrop/swell end pattern, or does its width "step down" in the middle, like a coke bottle?

I haven't actually made a GEC wish list for myself, but if I did, I'll bet an ebony Churchill would easily show up in the top three; handsome knife, Steve! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:

Nothing better than a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. This Oregon Collector’s 43 was one of the best of that run. It is one of the rare examples of top notch random jigging I have seen GEC produce. I cannot help but wonder why they seem to struggle with older jigging patterns.
Click to expand...
That shield is always fun to see, and the jigging is indeed exquisite! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: Actually, the jigging reminds me very much of that on @waynorth's jigged bone #93 lambsfoot.

Your stag HHB and that old Rodgers congress are handsome pieces, Harvey! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup: What's the fabric behind the Barlow? You're not bringing out winter wear already, are you? :eek::rolleyes:

RDaneel said:
Oh my, how could I have forgotten that stunning stockman, Gary!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you for your teardrop appreciation.:)

Finally, your Stag/Horn and Lambsfoot of the week knives are wonderful. :thumbsup:
Click to expand...
Thanks for the very kind words, Dean. :) My '47 stockman has a shield that looks like the shield on one of your knives, but I can't remember which one (whiskey bone teardrop??); at any rate, the shield definitely contributes to the appeal of each knife!

RDaneel said:
On Sunday I like to carry an attractive knife (well, I think it is!).

Definitely a looker, Dean! :thumbsup::cool::cool: I wonder how many covers the red shield is used on?
