What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

I’ve finally decided to put this one into rotation. It’s probably not a very wise move, using such a nice example, but it’s my favorite pattern, in my favorite covers, so what the heck? Now that it’s going in the pocket, I suspect it will be a while before it leaves...

Case 5332

Very nice covers on that one for sure! I kinda felt the same way about that one armed barlow,even though its a relatively recent addition to my collection. It was unused,unsharpened minty fresh in a great pattern. But I came to the same conclusion that if I liked so much why not carry it and enjoy it! Sometimes "unwise" in a collective sense is wise for our soul. Sometimes I think its like owning an original 60's Shelby mustang, could I really fully appreciate it unless I drove it?

Wonderful character in that stag, bolsters, blades and shield are pretty special as well.

Very kind of you and much appreciated. Thank you !!

I'm guessing Cattaraugus and what a gem...mama

Thanks Gev!


Don’t let it take away any of the joy Harvey! Pam and I were celebrating my birthday last weekend and I let it slip by me on Friday night. I’m really glad you got it because I’ll get to see it occasionally!

Thank you Ron.

@sunknife - Thank you kindly.

 

[btmccutcheon]

That's a beauty!

Thanks Matt!

 

[Nature Boy]

EXCELLENT CHOICE what a gorgeous knife and the joy you'll derive from carrying it

Pocketing that knife is the right idea. And I support your choice!

You are going to love having your favourite knife at hand.

Michael

Love that pen blade secondary. Great example. It needs to be used!

Very nice covers on that one for sure! I kinda felt the same way about that one armed barlow,even though its a relatively recent addition to my collection.

Thanks for the support! I’m feeling pretty good about the decision.

I'm guessing Cattaraugus and what a gem...mama

Thanks Gev! That’s a good close guess but it’s a Robeson. Cattaraugus and Robeson bones do look a lot alike sometimes. Your Saynor is so gooooood Gev! Always love seeing that knife.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thanks Jj! Those are both fantastic Catts as well!

Going to carry this Elderberry Camel bone 77 while anticipating my new Amber sawcut's arrival.

Thanks Mark!!! You certainly have an outstanding 77 with lovely covers!

Black Stallion and a Case 1/2 whittler that I recently got off of the exchange in a lot.

Great job Steve; looks very cool!

A fine Case you make And thank you for the kind words on mine

W. Saynor stagalicious

Thanks Gev!!! What a beauty you have today; loving the stag with the rattail bolsters, wow!

Thank you my friend. Such beautiful jigging on the 70s Case bare head. Sweet looking Barlow.

New oldie

Thanks Harvey!!! Your "New oldie" is an amazing example of a stag covered lamb; just awesome!

I have to admit the Waynorth was only a stand-in to look pretty the actual worker was the wifes Victorinox

Very cool Dave; if it slices well it's a knife worth using!

JJ, the cut grooves on your barlow appear much more defined than mine, unless it’s an illusion. I think it gives it some character already. Is the barehead a re-handled Knife? If so, it looks exquisite, if not, it looks exquisite

Thanks @315!!! I've noticed the bone on this latest Case CV certainly does vary; the barehead jack has the original covers. Very cool shot of your Imperial Frontier; one of my favorite old cutlers!

Going out for a walk with my lambsfoot, hopefully I meet "Chippy" again today.

Wonderful series of images Dan; awesome how tame that lil fella is!

Great shots of your two stag covered beauties Gary!

Thanks Gev! That’s a good close guess but it’s a Robeson. Cattaraugus and Robeson bones do look a lot alike sometimes. Your Saynor is so gooooood Gev! Always love seeing that knife.

Thats interesting as I was "on the fence" between Catt and Robeson, though my first impulse was Robeson based on the bolsters; quite a beauty Nick!

 

[JJ Cahill]

I'm going with these two Sunday Swiss slicers, both from Wenger.

 

[Cutfinger]

I really like the upper knife JJ.
The original or very early pattern eh, the very first ones had wooden handles?
Wonderful robust knife.

Michael

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thanks Michael! It's a soldier from 1957, prior to the Alox versions of the early 1960's the soldiers were all "bare head" designs and had the inventory "control stamp" that showed they passed the Swiss army inspection. The really old ones from the 1890's (oiled oak covers) or 1901 forward (fiber type plastic and later plastic covers) were somewhat larger, quite rare and highly sought after!

 

[Jack Black]

Lucy looks great Jack! Beautiful custom also.

Thanks a lot Mark

Very cool Dave; if it slices well it's a knife worth using!

Right you are my friend.

So yesterday I went out for my walk looking to meet "Chippy" the chipmunk again.
Instead I met a new friend.
Here is "Ruby" the red squirrel
