What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JohnDF]

I took a whole bunch of knives out there to test on the strapping. All were paper cutting sharp. Nothing scientific, just thought you all might be interested. These three did the best...

@Jack Black - Thank you Jack. Fine environmental images of your 44 and Dami Lamb.

@Duckdog - Thank you Stuart for the kind words. Your beautiful knives can really sing the blues.

RDaneel - Dean, that’s an incredibly nice Scrade Barlow.

dc50 - Dave, your GEC14 and the image are on fire.

This Case Single Blade Trapper is earning its keep and a place in my pocket. I had to cut through some thick strapping material and the knife that was currently in my pocket wasn't "cutting" it. I grabbed the Yellow Trapper and sliced right through it. There's something very handy about a bigger, well constructed, thinly ground knife.

Very nice, is it a mod ?

Buck 301 Forum Knife. Non-traditional spork has been useful to me.

Good Lord, preserve me because I'm in the grips of shameful Envy.

Yes. @jsdistin did the blade delete for me.

Outstanding jigging Dean

Thank you, Jack!

Beautiful old Schrade there Dean! You can’t beat that peach seed jigged bone!

Thank you, Ron! So true.

That is off the charts !!!

Thank you, Gev!

Hey John, out of curiosity, did you take your Osage 29 out there with these? Just wondering because that clip looks very thin and slicey, but I haven't been able to make myself use mine yet! I know my WCLF is a good slicer.

Nope. I didn't try that one.
But I don't think it's any surprise that the bigger knives did a better job.

She's a hot little number Harvey.

Yesterday

That's what I call comfort food. Maybe a little discomfort later though.

These 2 today to ward off the blues from that Monday guy, watch out for that one time...

Enviable pair of Schrade Cut Cos!
Love the color of the bone and the full blades.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Schrade Barlow circa 1904 - 1946.

And speaking of great old Schrade bone!!!
The smooth corners look like it’s spent a ton of pocket time, too.

Haha, yeah, I get a craving for junk food every once in awhile. My wife always gives me the stink eye when she sees it on the grocery list.

Thank you, Jeff! One of those knives you can imagine its journey.

That's a nice one Nick I must get some of my penknives out

Thanks Jack, I always like seeing your English penknives!

Very nice NYKC congress, Nick. It looks great for a knife that's at least 88 years old.

Stupendous Schrades, Nick. (Though not all blues and bad or sad.)

Thank you Stuart, looks like you’ll outblue any bad blues that dare come your way! And yes I very much agree not all blues are bad or sad. While on the subject of blues, I just bought tickets to go see Taj Mahal next month, can’t wait! He does good reggae too!

Schrade Barlow circa 1904 - 1946.

Very very nice!! That bone is so warm and soothing to look at. Therapeutic knife you have there!

The smooth white bone is nice but that stag is gorgeous!

Enviable pair of Schrade Cut Cos!

Thanks Jeff! The jack is just along for the ride but the mini moose will handle the cutting needs.

The 'traditionaliest' and 'legendariest' of 'em all.
Well at least some places.
