What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Amir Fleschwund]

I got out a couple of large wood clad totes today and one thing led to another. I had to wear my big pocket carpenter pants to tote them, which led to a late afternoon thirst, so I had to get a large beer. That's the problem with large knives.

To keep from getting hammered, I put the Hammer Brand hunter and Maserin slicer in my pockets and the rest of the 32 oz beer away to chill and took Loki on a short walk. Wisteria and azalea blooms are making their last push, while cherry blossoms are mere confetti from Spring's parade now.

Man! That big vintage hunter is my idea of gettin hammered. Great knife, Stuart.

Beautemous pics, too!

She did do some real work yesterday.

Nice and slim and compact, but still with a secondary blade. I was wondering what that one looked like, thanks for sharing. That one with the saw has the weirdest bottle/tin opener I've ever seen.

Yeah, looks funny, but it works. Saves space, I guess. A couple of my Wengers have that opener.

Check out some vintage camping/scout knives for weird. They had to redesign those because they excelled at opening flesh!

My only fixed blade, and probably the only one I need. This is James Gibson’s take on a Kephardt.

My father’s Opinel I gifted him years ago. He always liked it because of it’s sharp blade. As you can see, he wasn’t afraid of patina. I recently darkened the handle.

He passed away about month ago. I think this knife reminds of him; humble yet sharp! He was a handyman who could fix anything and what he couldn’t he learned.
I still can’t believe he is gone..

Sorry for your loss. My dad passed almost twenty years ago and I still miss him.

The browns and greys/black in the tree bark bring out the amazing coloration in your beautiful wood scales. Gorgeous knife.

Thanks Bill. The ironwood makes a beautiful cover.

Very sorry about your Dad's passing. For about six months after my Dad passed, I'd find myself picking up the phone to call him if something worthwhile happened.

Had to catch a couple more shots in the later afternoon sun. I love ironwood.

An exceptional shot, Dwight, and that Stag is just exquisite.

Thank you Dylan.

Finished up the fence project today.

Pristine Amazing Cutting Action Craftsman Stockman! I'd guess it's Schrade-made, right?

How do you like it?

That is a capable looking knife!

Now let's talk about that word "need"...

For wooden Wednesday

 

[TheFactor]

Mail call and Just pulled this one out of The tube.
My first Gec#62 Pocket carver and it’s sporting Smooth white bone covers.
What a beautiful knife and wish I could give the dealer props but there not a BF dealer unfortunately. Anyway I asked for one white as possible and centered blades if possible. He came threw for me and it’s beautiful.
Couldn’t be happier !

Pristine Amazing Cutting Action Craftsman Stockman! I'd guess it's Schrade-made, right?

How do you like it?

Yessir. Schrade it is. It was fun to get it back up and running. Someone had barely used it and then stored it carelessly. After cleaning and oiling it really came back to life. It’s not the snappiest knife around but it can hold its own. My dad is a “buy a 4” stockman of any brand, sharpen the crap out of it for three years or so and get another.” This was the only kind of pocket knife the dudes in my family ever carried, so I always dig having one around.

As far as Amazing Cutting Action - it still had the factory edge which was very toothy. Cuts much better with my edge on it.

But I’m sure A.C.A. was the talk of the town back in the 80’s! Or at least some marketing genius thought as much.

Thanks for asking!
