What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

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 :D :thumbsup:

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 Wild Willie and JohnDF 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 :cool: 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 :cool: Many thanks for your kindness fellers, I'm very grateful :) :thumbsup:

Thank you very much Jack!!! That must have been quite the cool concert; it brings new meaning to the old "break a leg" adage!:eek::cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Your new Queen addition is certainly quite a "looker" and looks marvelous with your Hartshead Barlow!:D:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Thank you kindly, JJ., for the nice words. There’s too many here, like yourself, who display equally(or better) images of their cutlery treasure. Like your superb, enviable Cigar Harness Jack.
Thank you very kindly, Harvey!!!
Maiden Voyage-Robeson Strawberry Bone 1/2 Congress. So new looking, it was as if Emerson Case had saved it for me. I know JJ. JJ Cahill JJ Cahill will understand my joy.

Another day and another spectacular Robeson; it looks as if it spent the last 60-70 years in a time capsule, wow!!!:D:thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Cooking for the monthly men’s breakfast today. I’ve prepared it at home this time, so no one will get to see me whip out a real knife. I long ago gave up hope of finding a usefully sharp knife in this particular church kitchen. Par for the course. But the worst, most unforgivable, blasphemously sinful deed is for some harebrained church lady to scrub and scour the griddle on the big range. It may be time for me to tape another polite, but sternly worded little reminder that the retribution for ruining the hard earned seasoning on the griddle will be visited upon them for seven generations.:D Last month I found that griddle almost unusable for making blueberry pancakes.:mad:

How about a Taylor’s Eye Witness LF, and a Schrade 233 Jack...View attachment 1297886And Manny said to have a great Saturday.
View attachment 1297887 Not really. He can’t talk. But that look on his face means “why not scratch my neck while you’re sitting there looking at knives?”
 
Back to childhood :D

*Calissons are a traditional French candy consisting of a smooth, pale yellow, homogeneous paste of candied fruit (especially melons and oranges) and ground almonds topped with a thin layer of royal icing.[1] Calissons have a texture similar to that of marzipan, but with a fruitier, distinctly melon-like flavour. Calissons are often almond-shaped and are typically about two inches in length. Calissons are traditionally associated with the town of Aix-en-Provence, France; consequently, most of the world supply of calissons is still made in the Provence region.
