What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[exRonin1949]

It varies from day-to-day. Today, EK44. Tomorrow, D2 Extreme. Will alternate, but when I get my BK21, it will be carried in my briefcase, which I use to carry my dowsing gear. Considering getting a BK2 for EDC belt wear, just like my EK44 and D2 Extreme.

This is what I wanted when I was a kid,
Jack knives and silver dollars

GEC Ben Hogan #65 buffalo horn

Unencumbered at first sight

Congrats, FBC! Plaudits to @Leslie Tomville for his generosity!
FBC, do you think you'll ever do a "comparative review" of this Case and your Black Box sowbelly stockman? That would be useful.

For you GT, sure....If I don't forget.
I do seem to be forgetting things more often lately. I need to get some of that herbal stuff that helps with memory but I can't remember what it is called.

You know that three-leaved plant is poison ivy, right?
Both knives are spectacular!

Thank you, Jeff. And yes, poison ivy is all over the place in our local parks.

Did that come off the auction site?
I think I had that one in my cart and waffled...

Some venerable and very solid wood choices, Stuart and Nick! (Stuart, I wish one of yours had been snakewood. )

Thank you Gary!!

Half/Stop I hope your BIL recovers and gets out of ICU ASAP Ron. You’re a great BIL for being there! I’m sure your lambfoot is soothing away the blues. Prayers and best wishes sent.

Congrats on the new bonestag improved mini trapper, Stuart!
You and José have certainly posted an impressive and historic range of knives in that pattern!

Thank you very much Gary, but this was still missing!!

No sir. I bought it off a member here. The auction site prices are way too much for most of the GEC's. I just waited till one showed up for sale here. If you have a bit less patience, try the WTB forums.

I really like your new Saddlehorn Case!
Hope to see more of it.

Thank you, I'm sure you will, really enjoyed it today.

The peanut or pen controversy makes me think of this one. Lose the second spring and get a slimmer knife, lose the second blade and get a longer blade.

 

[sunknife]

Two knives, four blades, and a punch. Just my luck, I showed up all prepared but I had nothing to cut or poke all day.
At home from work and not even an apple in the house to slice.View attachment 1187664

Thanks for the nice words everyone!

The almost perfect, amazing slicing machine, my Great Eastern Cutlery 82 Possum Skinner.

@JJ Cahill - Thank you JJ. And thank you for the History Lesson. It deepens my appreciation. The Scout and the Case Barlow is beautifully lensed.

@Jack Black - Two fine images of two fine knives, Jack.

Half/Stop - Blessings upon you for your steadfast love and care for your Brother in Law. Keeping both of you in my thoughts and best wishes as he progresses.

Thank you Harvey!

Half/Stop ~ having spent half of 2012 in the hospital myself, trust me when I tell you how much it means having friends and family spend time standing watch.

My BROTHER IN LAW is still in ICU! They may move him to a regular room tomorrow! Today I’m still sitting with him and I’m toting a Lambfoot in my pocket!
