What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Duckdog]

I was pleased to have lunch with a visiting @Half/Stop today at our favorite "dog house", the Vienna Inn in Vienna, Virginia, which recently celebrated their 60th anniversary of dog 'n drinks dispensing. In honor of Ron's local carry of a yellow Delrin clad Case Sodbuster and, also, Thirsty Trapper Thursday, I toted a Case 3207 SS trapper for our sojourn. Below you can see our repast of chili cheese dogs with chopped onions (no Vienna sausages were harmed in this venture, though I do love them) and fries. I had a chilled mug of Yuengling lager and Ron opted for iced tea, though you can see his digits crawling towards my mug in the upper left corner.

Friendship doesn't get any more delicious than this. (Oh, and we looked at knives later at my local hardware store and my house, but that's to be expected.)

I really like both these patterns and will be toting them today; an 81 and 71 from GEC.

Very fine images of two work horses. Love the 81. Favorite Northfield shield. The lanyard greatly enhances the FF.

Jack Black - Much thanks, Jack.

@5K Qs - Thank you kindly, GT. What a cool looking Marbles leg knife.

D Duckdog - You both set a nice table, Stuart.

I carry both my Schrade Imperial Congress and stockman. I don't know why I carry both of them. I guess I'm just indecisive about them lol.

Out of the gun safe today for a few pics and some pocket time...

Changing of the guard! Old EDC is the small one. Carried it about 6 months. Both are 26C3 at 64RC and handled in sheephorn.

Both beautiful knives, Dave! I really like the almost jade-colored horn on the one side of the new one.

I’ve noticed you make some knives where the tang extends down to the heel of the blade, and others where it doesn’t and the sharpened edge runs all the way back (I hope that makes sense?! ). Do you find you prefer one over the other?

That’s awesome, Stuart! I’ve been fortunate enough to meet a few friends from the Porch in person, and it’s always a great experience. I‘m hoping I’ll get to meet more of y’all in the future! (Those chili dogs look pretty tasty, too! )

I’m carrying this WLST today.

Stuart, it looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves. Well deserved no doubt!

Stuart, it looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves. Well deserved no doubt!

Thanks, guys. We had a fine time and each visit together gets better. (I realized that we both like blue grass and country music, so we were "in tune" all day after I put a thumb drive in my truck media drive: Chris Ledoux, Alan Jackson, George Strait, and George Jones - all day.) When you spend time with a friend, it just flies! And now our dog, Loki, is missing "Mr. Ron".

JJ Cahill Choice composition, as always The 71 is a rugged and very comfortable work-knife in use, mine gets carried a lot. But it's pretty stained up compared to yours.

Thank you very much Will!!! I've really loved this old "folding butcher" design since I was a youngster; the Case Sodbuster was my first single bladed folder.

Thank you for the info JJ, that's very interesting, what a lovely mark Many thanks my friend

Another choice pairing JJ

Most certainly Jack and thank you very kindly!!!

Thanks for the positive assessment, JJ.

Premium pair, JJ! I don't consider myself a Barlow aficionado, but that Simmons Keen Kutter is impressive!

Your cracked ice Hammer Brands are outrageously fine, JJ!!

You are certainly welcome, Gary! And a double "thanks" for your kind words!!!

Stag/horn Knife for me this week is a 5" Marbles leg knife with a small stag spacer:

Lambsfoot of the Week is Union Jack, a rosewood lambsfoot:

Very nice pair of single bladed lovelies; the covers on your "lady leg" are very cool, lots of great character!

Now that looks very tasty Stuart; I can see why they are celebrating 60 years!

Very fine images of two work horses. Love the 81. Favorite Northfield shield. The lanyard greatly enhances the FF.

Thank you very much, Harvey!!!

Not only are both of your photographs works of art, that Robeson Half Congress is an absolutely fantastic piece of cutlery!

Friday’s new arrival carry

 

[JJ Cahill]

I like this jazzy cigar framed Harness Jack for today, from GEC's early years.

 

[Arian29]

Is there a second (possibly brass?) blade/tool in the end of the Victorinox opposite the clip blade?? Cool couple of knives!

- GT

Thanks @5K Qs
You’re right, it has a brass blade, a gardening tool for budding/grafting-which is not sharp at all; this red one is a single blade floral knife.

WOW!!!! Amazing Dave

There for a moment I thought someone been snooping in my knife box

Great Remington jumbo trapper

LOL! Very nice David

I get behind fast in this thread lately! In an effort to catch up, I'm quoting only one or two posts from each page; I guess it's a beauty contest!

...

Superb Tuesday duo, Jack!

...

Thanks for your valued opinion on the Marttiini brand, Jack.
Strange to me that engraving should be a skill that we're losing.
I like stockman patterns in general, but sowbellies are a quantum leap above for me!

You seem busier now than when you were working full-time Gary! Thanks for the compliment my friend That's a combination you don't see every day, I love that photo of your Union Jack

You lucky dawgs! You're making me hungry Stuart, and I've only recently had breakfast! Sounds like a fantastic meeting, great that the two of you are able to meet up like this

Two stunning photos Harvey

I’m carrying this WLST today.

Great choices Barrett

I like this jazzy cigar framed Harness Jack for today, from GEC's early years.

Nice Harness Jack JJ, and I like your taste in music too I remember watching a Sonny Rollins concert with my dad, where he falls off the stag mid-set, breaks his ankle, but continues playing hidden behind the stage

Think this is the one

Morning folks, yesterday I received a couple of very kind gift packages from two of my fellow Guardians, @Wild Willie and @JohnDF Willie sent me a beautifully handmade mini pry-bar/blade key, which has gone straight onto my key-chain, and which is shown with my Hartshead Barlow below John's package included this lovely little Trapper from Queen. John has no way of knowing, but I've often discussed this exact pattern with two of my knife buddies @ADEE and @scruffuk, as just a perfect little pocket knife A lovely knife, and it came razor sharp too Many thanks for your kindness fellers, I'm very grateful

Have a good Friday folks, the weekend is almost upon us!

[Will Power]

Believe that GEC has really excelled itself with the latest run of 62 Easy Pocket Congress
Here, Camelbone, which when you close your eyes and coon finger the knife, you'd think it has no shield it's that smooth. Very good W&T and absolutely no compromises in build-quality. This is the one that gets used, the Jigged Bone & DI are destined to become Knife Mummies

 

[Pt-Luso]

Love that clip blade.

Many thanks.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Simple, but sweet, knife, José!

Many thanks, Gary.

 

[Pt-Luso]

It's fantastic to see such a varied selection of SAKs in this thread! Thanks for posting them, Dean & @Idkers & @Frailer & José!

Thanks, Gary.

 

[Pt-Luso]

Today with another Case mini trapper in stag.
