What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

My first ever custom slipjoint, made in 2001 by my friend @Ed Kramp is screaming sharp after a bit of stropping. After many years of pocket carry, it's a little hard to tell but Ed hand jigged and dyed the bone. Am ecstatic to have this back in my pocket again. It's a true slipjoint, no halfstop, a long term pocket worn custom user. Have gotten my money's worth out of this knife, several times over, and when the backspring broke and I lost touch with Ed, I thought it was gone forever. That incident led me to the traditional forum hunting for a replacement, and I never really found it. This knife has traveled so many miles with me …

Beautiful knife, cat and Kipling!

 

Double post

 

The knife is without parallel (what in the world is it?), the cat is gorgeous, the barrister bookcase, the print and the copper push at the sublime--the Kipling kicks it all over the top. I could relax in that room.

 

Equally beautiful on all counts .....awwwww !!!! Thanks again Rachell

 

This 77 Northfield today

Agreed. (And I have that same Kipling set.)

 

E.C. Simmons tang stamp; I would venture a guess the maker is either Empire or NYKCo. Thanks for the kind words I love old books and old knives. Need one of those exquisite Sheffield library knives to turn pages....lol

 

Take care and heal quickly my friend .

Harry

 

I like the menorah too.

Thank you very much Gev; they are reminiscent of those big US steel and chrome autos of the 1950s!

Wow, what a spectacular pair of Jacks, Stuart; coo!

Thanks a lot Harvey!!! What a cool shot of your classy Rodgers; like Phoenix about to rise out of the ashes (cigar, that is!)

Lovely photographs of your two friends, Gev; a wonderful old Jack and your serenely content cat, hard to beat!

 

Todays totes are a couple pre WWII from Imperial Hammer; a Stock Knife and a Toothpick.

 

@Gevonovich Supreme feeling of peace from those pix A marvel of a knife, but did my cat just cross the Atlantic & more? Tabbies Rule!

Thanks, Will

It doesn't look like this anymore, but I'm lucky enough to have a reserve copy in store, just in case...

 

This is the traditional I carry nearly everyday:

 

Hope everyone has a restful weekend.
I'm off to a 4x4 Toy Run... lots of Jeeps bringing lots of toys for less fortunate kids.
