What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jack Black]

Oh geez, I have always wanted to try one of those roach belly's!! Looks like a great all around fixed blade!

They're only about $10 I think Taylor. The sheath is basic cordura, but it works

I could see that being a very useful knife around camp.

The Cold Steel Roach Belly makes a great pack knife. It’s less than 3oz (2.6oz if I remember right) with a 4116 stainless 4.5-inch blade. The hollow polypropylene handle is what makes them so light. It’s not a full tang so it’s intended for light tasks. For less than $20 it’s hard to beat this little edc.

I have mine attached to my fly pack when I’m out fishing otherwise it lives in a compartment over the steering wheel in my FJ.

Cool set-up I saw a thread once, where someone took the handle apart, and the tang was quite interesting

Not the thread I was thinking of, but...

Be safe and have a peaceful Sunday, folks.

Thanks, I keep my pack set up so I can just grab it and some wading shoes and I'm out the door. I do need to add a lanyard with a carabiner clip to keep it from falling out when I sling the pack around.

That is an interesting tang and a good way to keep it from pulling out of the handle. The handle appears to be more solid than I thought it for what the knife weighs.

Springtime knife today, but it’s time to get the moss and weed killer down...

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Hoping to get out of the house for a walk this afternoon. Reading and Netflix can only get you so far

Good idea, inexpensive knives are ideal for something like that I think. I ordered the CS Finn Bear and Roach Belly when they first came out, and while I like the Finn Bear, I preferred the Roach Belly. Both have similar tangs

I know I posted these earlier , but I thought I should get some newer pictures and show the comparative size of them together .

Thank you Ron. Beautiful photo of your two wonderful knives!

Thanks Dave!

Top-notch pair Ron

Thanks Jack!

Beautiful pairing, Ron.

Thanks John!

Since this is Sunday I will get back to doing nothing because I never finished doing nothing the other day so I have chose to carry these 2 for Half/Stop and @Pàdruig's benefit .

Okay Harry, thanks a lot! I’m also setting here doing nothing, well not exactly! I’ve got a beautiful stag #43, but I’m actually wondering how I could justify the cost of one of those fancy fixed blades. Stay safe my friend!

 

[Prester John]

Got my fancy French go-to-meeting [at home!] olive wood Laguiole with me this Palm Sunday. Stay safe, everyone!

 

[RDaneel]

Wonderful pics, Dean! Particularly of that good looking Case.

Stag and Stacked Leather Saturday! I must say I am really enjoying this new (to me) Serrano that I just got in.

Thank you, Dylan! Great photo of your stag and leather.

Mike, that has to be the BEST looking Case Trapper I've ever seen.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Thanks John. It's my first, but I really wanted a barehead one. Saw this one in jigged rosewood and could not resist. Would have preferred CV, but I'll take Tru-Sharp with these covers

Been carrying this Ebony #25 most of the past week, along with a couple others here and there.

You know how the sense of smell really triggers memories? Well 3-in-One oil is absolutely the smell of my childhood. Bike chains, sharpening stones, pellet guns: the memories really flood back...

The Klein Tools rope knife got a workout doing yard work today - cutting trimmer line when it breaks and then over-feeds every two minutes, cutting small branches off the wild cherry which has taken over a corner of my back yard and off the neighbors vine which had overgrown my fence...

The Antonini “search and rescue folding hand saw” is great by the way - I bought it for less than ten bucks and it cuts really well.
