What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Thank you very much Jack!!! That must have been quite the cool concert; it brings new meaning to the old "break a leg" adage!
Your new Queen addition is certainly quite a "looker" and looks marvelous with your Hartshead Barlow!

Thank you very kindly, Harvey!!!

Another day and another spectacular Robeson; it looks as if it spent the last 60-70 years in a time capsule, wow!!!

 

Had that same meal last Friday. One of my favorites. No Scotch, though--had wine with that meal.
Great looking forum knife. Need to carry mine again soon.

 

A couple scouts for Saturday; an old school Landers, Frary & Clark BSA and a new Victorinox Pioneer X.

 

Here you go, 26 with 2nd cut burnt stag and my chestnut bone peanut that I’ve carried religiously for the past 8+ years

 

Going to give my oil field natural canvas micarta with a blade delete some pocket time

 

Heading into work this morning with a Voos jack to keep me company.

 

Excellent. I love that deep jigging on the 26. And the pocket worn bone look of the peanut is outstanding. Here is to another 8+ years of carry.

My “newest” knife...

 

Still enthralled Bright&sunny outside and at last a bit of snow (usually covered in it since Dec but not this year)

 

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. Last month I found that griddle almost unusable for making blueberry pancakes.

How about a Taylor’s Eye Witness LF, and a Schrade 233 Jack... And Manny said to have a great Saturday.
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?”

 

Lotta steel.

 

Other than yoga this morning, planning on sticking pretty close to home today. Snow showers and a bit of cold in the forecast today. Texas Jack in the pocket.

Have a good weekend everyone!

 

As an entry to @Crazy Canuck's GAW, I'll be carrying this old imperial USA Barlow for the upcoming week. It belonged to my great grandmother...

 

You guys take showers in the snow? I thought things were different up in Canada but wow!


I like craftsman branding, whatever it's on (and US made). Craftsman 9554 whittler by schrade and my vic cadet that I have not carried in forever.

 

Going to be carrying this little Hoffritz NY pen knife I picked recently.

 

I hardly ever carry these two knives.
No real (good) reason for it, they are both great knives.
I'll rotate them today and decide which will be carried for a week for Mike's Challenge GAW.

 

Perhaps they just some good plumbers to fix their faucets??

 

Back to childhood



*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.

 

It's a 5 dot kinda day. Hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend!
