What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Left Jekyll Island this morning and off to Savannah for a couple of nights. The girls are doing a 5K in the morning. Maggie and me will hold down the fort while they’re walking. I took this last photo of my Lambsfoot on the handrail going to the beach. :) :thumbsup:

Toting these two for Friday; a Cattaraugus spey jack and a WWII Ulster TL-29, both in Cocobolo. :)
Much thanks and appreciation, JJ. Beautiful tonal range. Creates such warmth for your two beautiful traditionals.

JohnDF JohnDF - Thank you John. Your Waynorth and newly acquired Remington make for a perfect EDC.

@joeradza - Thank you Alan for the kind words. Meaningful, because your images and taste in knives is top drawer.

@5K Qs - GT, your Rough Rider is so cool.

@Wurrwulf - Thank you kindly, Shawn. Very nice Erickson.

@Amir Fleschwund - Happy Birthday, Jeff. Hope when you blew out the candles and made a wish, that it happens.

Prester John Prester John - That’s a table filled with nice, Vince.

S SnailOffTheTrail - Thank you for the kind words. Your new Case is a great looking knife.
 
Scary/Strange/Weird ... Earlier today I took the Stroke of Luck Stockman out of my pocket, put it back in the correct box, and placed it in the rollator under seat bag.

The Stroke of Luck trapper went into my pocket, at that time.

A couple minutes ago, I reached in my pocket for my knife, to open a FED-X/UPS envelope I was expecting.
It was the Stroke of Luck stockman.

I've no idea how it got out of the box, out of the rollator under seat bag, into my pocket, and forced the trapper from my pocket and into the Stockman's box, in the under seat bag.

The stockman is back in its box now, and the trapper back in my pocket.

As far as I know, there are no ghosts, specters, or poltergeists here ... or at least they have not messed with me before now ...

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but this reminds me so of that silly joke:

- "Doctor, what's the name again of that German bloke, who keeps hiding away my stuff?"

- "Altzheimer, my dear."

A belated "Same to you", JJ. :)
Thanks for your remarks on my carries. The scrimshaw Rachel did is especially meaningful to me because she synthesized elements of some vacation photos (and the Case Native American canoeist) in her designs. :thumbsup::cool::cool:
Those redbones are very appropriate and attractive Christmas carries, JJ! :cool::thumbsup:
Thank you kindly Gary!!!
Watchpocket Knife of the Week is a Case Blackhorn:

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Case amber bone mini trapper that had its original caplifter swapped for a sowbelly stockman's spey blade to make @black mamba's Beerbelly Stockman (thanks, Jeff):

Terrific trio Gary; your 2 trappers are very interesting as I've never seen a "one armed" trapper nor a "short spey" trapper (nice job Jeff), very cool!:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Much thanks and appreciation, JJ. Beautiful tonal range. Creates such warmth for your two beautiful traditionals.
Enjoying a post walk smoke with Linus, my constant companion.

Two great pics my friend :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot Jack!!! Your 66 makes an outstanding partner to your cool HHB!:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you my friend, the 66 was a kind gift from Duncan @Campbellclanman when he visited :) :thumbsup:

These two will be fighting for pocket time...

They look good together John :thumbsup:

Same to you, and a terrific Christmas trio, Jack! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
The background of your stag HHB shot elicits lots of nostalgia for me, representing old-fashioned Christmas card illustrations! :)


Thanks for the video link, Jack. :) I don't remember ever watching The Avengers, but maybe it's not too late to start. That Mrs. Peel has a lot of clothes and a lot of moves, all of which she makes look good! :eek:;):thumbsup::thumbsup:
Splendid pic of your 2019 KOTY!

Many thanks Gary, if you'd seen The Avengers, I think you'd remember my friend :) That's a special and unique knife :cool: :thumbsup:

Jack Black Jack Black I'm afraid we'd both need a hand finding our way if I managed a session in the pubs with you!

LOL! :D I might have to go back to attaching a luggage tag to my coat with my name and address on! :eek: :D :thumbsup:

Well, it's back to the deer woods for one last weekend. I've kept this gear packed and ready for a month, taken it afield twice and have yet to fire either shotgun or use either fixed blade (except to help a fellow hunter field dress a deer). The Case Texas jack has nipped several cigars, though. Fresh air, here I come.

Have a great time in the woods Stuart :) :thumbsup:

Home finally, after eight days in Colorado spending Christmas with our son and family. It was so much fun watching the 3&1/2 yr grandson and all his excitement. The 4 mo old grand daughter is a bit young to grasp it all, but she melts this guy’s heart.

So. After enduring a week of looking at all of the new 2019 Blade Forum GEC knives, I am hoping that our mailman has mine in the big stack of held mail.
Today’s my birthday, so I like how that works out!
In the meantime, my Bull Buster will do.View attachment 1255015

Sounds like a great Christmas Jeff :) :thumbsup:

I decided to carry my Texas Jack today; it is my 2019 knife of the year after all.

Nice choice Dean :) :thumbsup:

Just received this custom fixed blade from Evan Miller yesterday. It is sort of my design, the inspiration being the mating of a KaBar and a Mora. I have been cutting up boxes left over from Christmas, you can see the marks on the blade lol (they will rub off with an oil cloth). This may be the beginning of a fantastic friendship :).


That looks like a useful pattern Tom, look forward to seeing more of it :thumbsup:

This little Rabbit's Foot from @Robert Erickson showed up yesterday, so it got tossed into the cargo pocket alongside my Peanut, Maratac 2xAAA flashlight, and @JK Knives Bluegill.

I'm really digging this Pocono pocketslip from KSF. It's a great size for my pockets and I love that it deep-carries my Bluegill.

That's cool Shawn, I like the name too :D :) :thumbsup:

Happy Blue Friday

Looking good John :thumbsup:

Great to see Linus Harvey :) :thumbsup:

Today's totes are a couple from the pre WWII era; a fun little Cattaraugus Whitt-L-Craft scout and a stout Robeson electrician. :)

Very nice indeed JJ :) :thumbsup:

I'm struggling to remember what day of the week it is, but I've been enjoying carrying the Primble @Duckdog kindly gifted me with my Hartshead Barlow the past couple of days :) :thumbsup:
