What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I totally agree with you, Ted. No one does a D2 blade like Bob.
Now you got me thinking I should hang this one on my belt today!

Oh, that’s so pretty. , mine is one of his basic with slab micarta scales, but the grind is as only Bob does, such a nice acute grind it gives it a nice hollow ground diamond cross section.

The mechanic in me just loves the wrench shield :) .
 
Nicely paired :thumbsup:

Morning folks, hope everyone's week is going well so far :) I thought I'd pair my Hartshead Barlow with this Watchpocket Barlow SFO of Barry's I got a few years ago, I think he did a really good job of these #25s :thumbsup:

My two totes for Wednesday are wearing wood; a Buck 110 5160 and a pre WWII Robeson TL-29. :)

Thank you JJ, looks like you're armed for bear today my friend ;) Very nice :thumbsup:

Morning folks, today the unfortunate inhabitants of my neighbouring Northern English county of Lancashire are celebrating Lancashire Day, so I shall be standing in solidarity with their plight ;) Happy Lancashire Day to @donn and any of our other members from the Red Rose County :) :thumbsup:

Along with my Hartshead Barlow, doffing a flat-cap to the cotton-mills of Lancashire, I'll be carrying a traditional Tackler's Knife made by Wheatley Brothers of Sheffield, in Yorkshire ;) :thumbsup:

Have a good day folks :) :thumbsup:
 
I really like my RR Ram's horn canoe, José, but you should be aware that it's actually ram's horn BONE, bone dyed and jigged to look like ram's horn. Marbles makes a canoe with real ram's horn covers that I like a little more than the RR version.

Thanks so much for the info, Gary.;)
I've been searching and found the Marbles canoe.:):thumbsup:
 
@Peregrin Agree Gary, Italy is a fantastic place on many levels (and it's not dark all theme like here at the moment :eek:) you are lucky to have a large Italian community in the US -and it's not all a scene from a Scorcese film either ;). Agree about a good tavern too :D Dr.Johnson is a rich seam of un PC attitudes at times, I had a Scottish colleague some years back and I liked to tease her with Johnson's Scotophobia "The finest view a Scotchman sees Sir, is the High Road to England!" But Johnson admired the Jacobite uprisings in 15 & 45 and respected Scottish learning, St.Andrew's being a University that pre-dates one of my alter maters, Oxford:cool:

Here's a Fox n Hound Italian lockback in Stag

It's a pretty nice place to live, close to the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes, the Great Lakes and NYC. What makes it special for us is that my sons decided to settle here. Now with 3 grandchildren it'd take a team of horses to drag my wife anywhere else to live.
My parents families were from the Pittsburgh area and my cousins all equated NY State with NY City until they visited us and saw the difference.
To a NYC person, there's NYC and "Upstate", which is everywhere else.

I had just the SAK on my belt for the ER yesterday, though they still don't have metal detectors.
Looks like I've got diverticulitis, and I'll be on a non-alcohol clear liquid diet for Thanksgiving. I'm not that wild about turkey anyway, fortunately.

That's better.
