What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Carried the 79 to my Grandmother's 100th birthday/ family reunion. Since then, it's hard to put down. A combination of memories, and new appreciation for the functionality of this pattern. The master spear is still nearly pristine, the clip and wharnie have gained the wonderful 1095 patina. This knife is the most enjyable traditional I have carried in some time.

After many months of pocket carry and hard use:

These Powderhorns are pretty stout knives that work hard.

I've carried mine for 3 days in a row now, and I am starting to feel the same way! It's such a beautiful knife and it's got ALOT of blade. It's not even that thick, only a liners thickness thicker than the 2011 BF EO Jack
 
no pics yet, it just arrived, but i dropped my new cocobolo missouri trader in my pocket with my 25 (its in a GEC pocket sheath...im kinda protective of that little guy)
 
Thanks Sam! And yes I was wondering, thank you :)

The problem me photos of small knives for me is I don't have a macro. So the pics are nearly 1:1 pixel images.

Rides in the pocket just the way I like, feels great in the hand, walk and talks just the way I like. Hasn't left my pocket since I got it.
