What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Wharn]

I went on a hike to Pololū Valley with my wife and dog today. Had my trusty Spartan in my pack.

Boy, this thread spun up pretty quickly. I took today off for opening of dove season. A long drive to sit in the sun, like going to the beach. I got a nice spot in the shade (88° and 65% humidity) and over several hours, collected 8 doves (from the 15 I fired at, and that wasn't just 15 shots). Got home late, cleaned doves, made a drink and here I am, several pages behind. A fine day, all in all.

Raining today, thunder & lightning since 0300 and the highest King Tide I've ever seen off the ICW. Gotta go drop my boat off the lift and around to the town ramp so I can trailer it inland ahead of the storm. I think stainless steel and a light rain jacket will be the order of the day! Case 63032SS. OH

Stay safe out there Bruce; it sounds like a potentially big blow in your AO, all the best!!!

For Labor Day I'm carrying a very old friend that has seen its share of hard work since I bought it 49 years ago.

Perfect old pal for Labor Day; still looks like a tough old worker, excellent!

I plan to carry and use this knife a lot.

I’m also going to be carrying this Cattaraugus electrician today~

Outstanding Jeff!!! Some of the best 1095 version steels and blade geometry were produced by these two legendary cutlery companies!

In recovering from my recent neck surgery I'm basically house-bound, so am lounging around the house in light "scrubs," with no heavy knives wanted. So I've been carrying smaller knives for the most part, and today I switched to this old Ulster jr. cattleman.

Great to hear your'e on the mend, Jeff; nothing better to pass the time than noodling around with a classic beauty like your Ulster!

Thank you JJ. Turning a negative into a positive is always a fun challenge. Meaning that I like to show detail, even in the shadows, which is challenging when the blade is much brighter than everything else. I see you doing that with your brace of fine Robesons, and doing it quite nicely.

Thanks Harvey, I couldn't agree more!!! You certainly posted some more amazing imagery of your Sheffield lovelies!

Really like the handle texture on both of those, JJ!

Thanks Gary!!! It's great you added a weekly sowbelly to your rotation as that is certainly an all around wonderful pattern; love the pocket worn SAK Alox too!

Here’s the fruit of my day’s labor on labor day:
11 pints, and 19 quarts of my famous
rolleyes mango salsa,
And 5 quarts of tomatoes & basil.

Wow, that looks like a heaping helping of phenomenal salsa;I wish I could reach through the screen!

Hard to beat hiking in paradise; your photo reminds me of numerous aquatic adventures on those beautiful islands!

Got home late, cleaned doves, made a drink and here I am, several pages behind. A fine day, all in all.

Looks like you had a blast Stuart; very cool!

For my two Tuesday totes I'm going for more from Robeson; an English jack in strawberry bone and a spey Barlow in burgundy.

A pretty pair of Case stag models, José!

Thank you very much Gary.

Carlos is making it difficult to take a knife picture, he is a very pushy cat.

Here's my first Schrade, a serpentine jack I just got my hands on. I'm impressed with the build.

Great pair! Nice color on that Case.

 

[Ripcord 82]

Hey Cutfinger,I have a pushy cat too.

 

[cjtamu]

I really like those Dan Burke Queens, a nice little stockman!

Thank you. Very happy with it.

Disturbing images, Chris! Are you going to post your new puppets in the Toys thread?

Those are most definitely NOT my puppets ha ha! But I'll see if Kim will post them. Whilst I hide in a closet. Well-armed

Those are sweet.

For my two Tuesday totes I'm going for more from Robeson; an English jack in strawberry bone and a spey Barlow in burgundy.

Once again, a pair of your Robesons leaves me speechless.

Finally get to participate in all the "Ebony and Ivory" fun! Pair of Camillus made knives today. Buffalo horn Moore Maker 4 1/8" Trapper and "French Ivory" Camillus 66. Another from the estate sale. A little work to do on the blades still, but after getting it cleaned up yesterday I couldn't leave it at home. From what I've found, this tang stamp puts it between 1946 to 1950? Someone with more knowledge than I feel free to confirm or refute.
