What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[cigarrodog]

Gevonovich - Much Thanks for the kind words, Gev. All aboard the time machine, because it’s here where I have received my primary Traditionals education.

JJ Cahill - Thank you kindly JJ. You’re one of my Professors here.

@kai76 - Those two are sweet.love the shields, jigging, etc.

 

[tmd_87]

Carried these two today, forgot to post the pic earlier in the day.

 

[Pàdruig]

New one for me today. Straight into the pocket it went (after pictures, of course ).

 

[Duckdog]

@paulhilborn , @Half/Stop , @SteveC , Gevonovich , @kai76 - Thanks, guys. We adopted Loki from a Lab rescue in January. We think that his mom was a Lab and his dad was a travelin' man of the pit variety, hence the white freckles on his face and white chest spot and paw. Notwithstanding those markings, he was blushing when I showed him your kind compliments.

[Gevonovich]

Thank you Stuart! I like that little fixed blade and your buddy is pretty awesome too!

I had the one on the right all week and then it’s younger brother also in bone showed up today just in time to ward off that Monday guy. Besides someone’s lousy attempt to remove the rust spots, it’s in excellent condition. May have been so lightly used but I believe it hasn’t been sharpened.

Home run !! Looking forward to seeing them both often.

 

[JJ Cahill]

A pleasure LOL! I grew up thinking that people like 'Joe Rodgers' and 'Tommy Ward' were family members because they got mentioned so much!

That's classic, lol! I like your gum choice with your wonderful HHB Jack!

It has been all GEC's the past 3 days for me. One single blade for the back pocket and a multi blade in the front.
Sat., Sun. & Mon. pics in order. I think I'm caught up now.

Outstanding choices over the last three days!

Thanks, JJ. No limes were skinned nor sliced by me, but service did seem to pick up when I balanced those blades on the bar. Those competing beauties are so luminous in your photo. Bravo!!

Sunk joints make for some sleek knives and that is a slick pair there in fabulous condition, JJ. Thank for sharing them.

Really fine stuff, JJ. Again.

Thanks for your kind words Stuart!!! That's an excellent way to expedite your bar service!

It's hot and humid here, again, so I picked out some stainless to tote and took Loki for a walk.

I'm a huge fan of pairing a SAK with a nice fixed blade, outstanding; along with your handsome four legged friend you are certainly "living the dream!!!"

The power of Emotional Agility D
May the sacred space between thought and emotion expand, my brother

Great words that certainly fortify the wonderful image of your cutlery masterpiece Gev!

Another 72 beauty Nick!!! I'm pretty sure your "short line" is the original Camillus issue of the decade later release of the Official BSA whittler, very cool!!!

Thank you kindly JJ. You’re one of my Professors here.

That's very kind Harvey, though I have a feeling you are writing your PhD dissertation in cutlery!

My pocket kiridashi. The sheath needs some cleaning and oil + wax, since it was made of recycled leather. My leatherworking skills could be improved The knife is a small, 160 mm overall and after some sharpening scalpell - like instrument, I used it to make this sheath. I like the idea that broadheads, knives and swords need to be so sharp you treat them with caution and respect. The straight chisell edge makes sharpening easy.

The tang was considerably softer than the edge, so this is partially heat-treated. This made it possible to drill a hole in the tang and shape it quite easily.

 

[JJ Cahill]

After admiring the fabulous Robeson Harvey ( cigarrodog ) showed us Monday, my Tuesday totes are these two by Robeson; an early scout pattern and a pre WWII whittler pattern.

 

[Coreman]

 

[Pt-Luso]

Your picture brightened my day, José. Thanks.

Thank you very much Stuart.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today in my pocket with another GEC #73.

 

[5K Qs]

Happy Staguday!...

That stag clip/pen Dog's Head Ka-Bar-low is magic, Todd!

...
5K Qs - What a sweet sowbelly, GT.

Thanks, Harvey; my problem is I think ALL sowbelly stock knives are sweet.

...
Thanks x2 Gary!!! Really lovely couple of Stock knives; the acorn shield on your sowbelly always reminds me of the old Remington knives, tantalizing tobacco bone!
...

Thanks for the praise for my knives, JJ.

Today's totes are a couple of pocket friendly pre WWII Robeson knives.
...

Majestic pair and major-league photo (hardly any reflections ), JJ!

Pretty patina on a good knife Gary.

Thanks, José.

...
Morning folks, hope everyone is having a great weekend I've got a load of chores today, so I better stop lollygagging and get on with them! Enjoy your Sunday folks
...

Magisterial Sunday pair, Jack; interesting acrylic covers!

...

Magnificent trio, Travman !

Utica Jack and a small Western Stockman with punch
...

Marvelous couple of old knives, Steve!

Nice pair! I'm enjoying a double punch Sunday.
...

Meritorious punch bunch, Rachel!

Thanks Gary! The Lambsfoot did indeed get juicy my friend!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. Like you, I’ve been scentless(senseless?). My Dad was mostly an Old Spice Man. I also liked English Leather, but mostly because of the wooden top, and 4711. More fine knives from you, as always.

Thanks, Harvey. (I like that scentless/senseless/scentsless word play. )

I told Pandora I liked the Grateful Dead and the Pretty Reckless, and the next thing I saw was a Viagra ad.
This one too, today:
...

Must feel good to have Pandora pandering to what they perceive your needs are.
Manly metal knife!

The Pattada is a gift from a friend in Paris!! And he helped me order the Mozetta! I am carrying them both today to remind me of  and his wonderful family!!

Memorable handle shape and bolster art on your Pattada, Charlie!

Thank you, Gary! Very nice Sowbelly and that Schrade is a wonderful knife.

Thank you for your comments and information on your Canoes. I like the sowbelly stockman, but still like the 6347 (and 897UH) better.

Great SAK choices for this week.

Thanks for supporting my knife choices, Dean. I think I'd prefer a sowbelly stockman to a 6347, but I'm with you on the Uncle Henry (kind of apples/oranges size-wise, though, and maybe not a fair comparison).

Yesterday was the Victorinox Soldier. Taught a couple of Hunter Ed classes with it in my pocket, then at the bar watching WSU give it away to UCLA.

Today is laundry day and it’s miserable outside so the Case gets to ride along.
...

Matchless pair, @315 !

...
Since about 10:30 when I bought it
...
This was in my pocket when I left out this morning

Congrats on the "demo knife", David!
What does Rough Rider call that mind-boggling green knife with the stockman blades in a whittler configuration? Pretty cool!

...
It seemed to be a similar name to the Canittler. Thanks Gary; I really enjoy all the many patterns and iterations that Imperial did over their long history. It seems that both Imperial and Camillus really came on strong in the Post WWII period. Btw, when I was young I was a huge Kurt Vonnegut Fan; great background to your cool Alox electrician, great choices!
...

I hadn't read any Vonnegut for at least 40 years until I pulled out Player Piano a few weeks ago; either I'd never read it before, or I've completely forgotten everything about it!
I think I'd be quite content if my only knives were the 4 post-war "clamshell" Imperials I have; for me they cut like a dream and I can sharpen them more easily than almost any other knives.

My Monday totes are a couple from Remington; an R2215 jack with yellow "pyremite" covers from the 1930s and an R1225 big jack that was made by Camillus (#23 pattern) post WWII.
...

Nice pairing, both in terms of colors and in terms of model number permutations! Are the covers of the big jack called "French Ivory"?

Going with yellow today but just can't make up my mind, the Sowbelly, the Stockman or the Trapper. Which would you pick?
...

Your yellow Case trio looks mint! If the sowbelly is a stockman, I'd choose that. But if the sowbelly is a single-blade, I'd probably go with the mini trapper.

...

I like your PAL, Jeff!

Case and Churchill today

WW! Usually a Churchill really turns my head, but that wharncliffe Case copperhead stole all my attention; mind-blowing, Steve! How old is that? Looks like I have to add something to my to-do list.

Still with the 29 today. I had no interest in this knife when it was announced, but so glad I took the plunge finally. I like this knife so much more than I expected.
...

Congrats on the 29 and your surprising reaction, Matt! I've heard of humans charming snakes, but it sounds like your snake charmed you!

Busy afternoon ahead, but I'll have these two with me.
...

Monumental pair, Dean!

...
So JJ...I came across this Robeson, never hearing the name before seeing your fabulous collection. It stood out, because it had all the touches I like. After acquiring it, I researched it, having been led to believe that it was manufactured somewhere between 1896 and 1899(because of the tang stamp). It wouldn’t have mattered when, because, I simply fell for it. Thank you.

Congrats on the monarchical Robeson, Harvey!!

Nice, GT.
...
Thanks, GT. I like both of those bodacious choices.
...
One of my favorites, too, GT.

Thanks for paying attention to what we're all posting, Stuart!

That Farmer/Presidential pair is "music to my eyes"!

[Âchillepattada]

This Laguiole has been made by Mr Pierre Yves Joyeux from l'Atelier La Clé des Champs .
A very nice man and a great craftman.
The handle is in iron wood ans the spring is as it was is the past :

And some Smooth Autumn bone for the second day of Autumn.

Jack Black - Exceptional image of your HH Barlow, Jack.

JJ Cahill - Your Remington and Camillus are gorgeous.

Thank you Harvey, that's a wonderful Robeson my friend

A great looking EDC, Jack, and thanks for the subsequent pictorial and tutorial on the knife, it's cousins, and their historical context.

It's hot and humid here, again, so I picked out some stainless to tote and took Loki for a walk.

Now that we're back, he's resting indoors and I finishing up power washing our decks. Just living the dream!

Recycled pics because Loki was too excited for me to get clear photos.
- Stuart

Thank you very much Stuart Those are great pics, I love the look of that wee FB, as well as Loki of course!

A Baby Butterbean and a Steingass EDC today. Makes a nice combo, for me.

Smashing combination Gary

Carried these two today, forgot to post the pic earlier in the day.

Excellent pairing Taylor

That's classic, lol! I like your gum choice with your wonderful HHB Jack!

Thank you my friend, a kind gift from r8shell (along with some very nice knives)

Very interesting I have a kiridashi in my desk drawer, but it is not in the same league as that beauty, and I have never really known what to do with it

Feeling in need of some Charlow Power today (one of two knives I'm carrying)!

 

[r8shell]

That's a nice punch pair there, too, r8shell.

Meritorious punch bunch, Rachel!

Thanks!

I read somewhere they were made for schoolkids to sharpen pencils.
Glad you're liking the gum!

These, again:

You both posted a couple of Lovely TC Barlows with spear blades this morning. I enjoyed the pictures.

My Ironwood Lambsfoot today...

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Thank you Stuart! I like that little fixed blade and your buddy is pretty awesome too!

I had the one on the right all week and then it’s younger brother also in bone showed up today just in time to ward off that Monday guy. Besides someone’s lousy attempt to remove the rust spots, it’s in excellent condition. May have been so lightly used but I believe it hasn’t been sharpened.

Oh wow, Nick! Two 72s in bone is a sight to behold.
