What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[cigarrodog]

 

[screened porch]

I really like the "shield" on the synthetic covers of the Imperial (I have a stockman of that style, from Imperial Ireland).

What's the handle material on the Buck? Doesn't look like the "sawcut Valox" I'm accustomed to seeing.

I like the nylon on those Irish Imperials better than whatever Case put on their shadow stockmans.

I think it's the same old sawcut valox, just with funny light, bad photography, and maybe some odd wear.
Another example of bad photography and bad light:

Gevonovich - Prayers have been sent to bring you relief, Gev.

Very much appreciated ! Thank you fine Sir

Fred will do ( the original owner's name )

 

[DelOro]

Mrs. Oro and I are off to church Happy Sunday!

This little Scout knife is very handy and easy to carry around.

 

[5K Qs]

On the road again.

Stag or Ebony?? That's the Churchill question that paralyzes me! Glorious knives, guys!
(I suppose the question is moot, since neither version is easy to find. )

...

Your stag 29 is a looker, Jeff!

One classic vintage Case, and one of their best current production knives. What a history!

Magnificent Hawbaker muskrat and sublime sowbelly, Greg!

...
I really should get an alox!
...

Which Alox model speaks to you, Jeff?

Today in my pocket.
...

Bewitching Bulldog Barlow, José!

...
Hanging out watching some college football this afternoon. I doubt I’ll be cutting anything, but if I do I’m well armed...
...

That red jigged bone barehead clip/pen jack is mighty fine!

Had my canoes with me today.
...

That redbone Case and the GEC #16 are both commendable canoe, @Travman !

Was carrying the GEC 72 and 73 in Stag because this day ends with a "Y " , then the mail came with the 61 from @Zachary then carried all 3 the rest of the day .
...
Harry

Congrats on the new GEC #61 half congress, Harry! They say the third knife is a charm!

...
That's a pretty cool peanut, GT.

Thanks for noticing, Stuart.

A fancy knife para Domingo:
...
Spanish navaja with polished stag handle, by Artesania Herreros in Albacete.

Maravillosa navaja, Vince!!

...
Case closed - that is a terrific trio you are totin', GT. Each one just beautiful.
...
- Stuart

...
You have quite a splendid trio today Gary; quite the bounty of cool Case lovelies!
...

I appreciate your approbation, Stuart & JJ.

Todays totes are a couple of older Imperial scouts; a Hammer Brand Kamp King from 1936-37 and another Kamp King from 1946-56.
...

Impressive, immaculate Imperial scouts, JJ! I don't think I've ever seen striped covers like those on the Hammer Brand!

...
Morning folks, hope everyone is having a great weekend My Sunday carries are a Waynorth Lambsfoot from Charlie, and a Kent Fish Knife from Rachel
...

The jigged bone WCLF is such a ravishing knife, Jack! I like that fish knife, too, but I'm not sure how practical the scaling "teeth" on the spine of the clip point are; I think my typical grip would have thumb or index finger pressing onto the cutting edge of the clip whenever I wanted to scrape scales from a fish!

...
Totin some Case Chestnut CV goodness today. I waited for some more light to get a better photo of my choices. I’ve got a SBJ and a Peanut.
...

Chestnut is the best nut, Ron! That's a superb pair!

...
I've been carrying the new Stockyard Whittler every day, but I still like the really old knives, too. HOME (Holley & Merwin) 1850s-ish
...

That old white bone (?) "lambsfoot" is a striking sesquicentennial-plus knife!!

View attachment 1204452 Wenger Canyon, and Case 6308 Whittler.
The black stuff in top left is walnut husk from where a tree rat dismantled a nut.

Probably planted right smack in the middle of the lawn.

Wondrous Wenger and Whittler, Jeff!

A classic #67 today
...

Captivating Camillus stockman, Steve, and fantastic match between the rock and the knife handle!

Great looking knife indeed ! No bouldering for me, the left hip hurts for no good reason . rolled out of bed yesterday and serious pain....this too shall pass...prayers accepted...lol

I hope the hip heals in a hurry, Gev! Joint discomfort, especially with no warning, is the pits.

Totin’ my Lambsfoot by way of Sheffield, Leeds, Titusville, Buffalo, and some place Way North. Well done Charlie, @waynorth ! And thank you Jack Jack Black for the history lessons and making this pattern relevant in the United States.

Sorry to hear of the hip pain Gevonovich . Prayers sent.

Super classy ebony Waynorth Cutlery lambsfoot, Greg!

LOL! Thanks buddy Nice pics

Always good to see that fabulous foursome
...

Thanks for the positive feedback, Jack.

5K Qs thanks GT! Yea, I carry them and use em too!

...
5K Qs - Thank you GT. Your LamBarJack is as sweet as your image.
...

I'm grateful for your dual endorsement, Harvey.

Notable blade mod on that knife, Harvey!

Another example of bad photography and bad light:

I think Case calls their synthetic Zytel. I like that shot of 6 knives! That Buck 307 must be gargantuan!

Love the dual spearpoint canoe

Much appreciated, Gary ! Thank you fine Sir

 

[Jack Black]

Jack Black - That Fish Knife is a very cool oldie, Jack. So is your First GEC.

Thanks Harvey, the Kent Fish Knife was a gift from r8shell

Thanks and regards to @waynorth

Morning folks, hope everyone is having a great weekend My Sunday carries are a Waynorth Lambsfoot from Charlie, and a Kent Fish Knife from Rachel

Those are a great couple of carries, Jack. The fish-knife is a wonderful gift from Rachel.

Thanks, Dean. Since I don't try to coordinate my rotation schedule across the various categories, I sometimes get surprises like this week where a couple of different categories happen to contain a knife with an anchor shield (both obtained to "fill the gap" until I get a genuine Otter Ankermesser ).

The coloring on the jigged bone makes that one of the most recognizable TCs on The Porch, Dean!

Lambsfoot of the Week is LamBarJack, my rosewood Hartshead Barlow:

Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is this small sodbuster from JJ Martinez:

Thank you for your answer and kind comments, Gary. Those are two terrific knives that are part of your carry this week.

 

[RDaneel]

On Sundays, I like to carry (what I think is) an attractive knife. This one is a Case/John Deere teardrop in Kirinite.

 

[Jack Black]

The jigged bone WCLF is such a ravishing knife, Jack! I like that fish knife, too, but I'm not sure how practical the scaling "teeth" on the spine of the clip point are; I think my typical grip would have thumb or index finger pressing onto the cutting edge of the clip whenever I wanted to scrape scales from a fish!

Thank you my friend!

It's nice to know that old fish knife is getting out and seeing the world.

Since you point it out...maybe you're supposed to do the descaling with the blade in the closed position?

Thank you Rachel, you too my friend The Stockyard Whittler looks like a good pattern, and that's a beautiful oldie

That old white bone (?) "lambsfoot" is a striking sesquicentennial-plus knife!!

Thank you, guys. The old HOME was a very lucky find, listed with an understatement: "old bone handled knife- condition used" It wasn't until it showed up and I cleaned it up enough to read the tang, post pictures, and get help from the experts in the Old Knives Thread that I knew just how old.

Thanks and regards to @waynorth

Green Supreme Real beauty, you should be ecstatic

It's a great knife Rachel, I've only had the shell-handled Richards/Imperial/Jowika ones before, but this is much better Looks like that Home is going to be sitting at the head of the table in your rest home for well-loved old knives

 

[Prester John]

Maravillosa navaja, Vince!!

Gracias, Señor.
