What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Signalprick]

No safe queens for me. This one has seen a good amount of use since I received it this past Friday.

 

[JB in LV]

I plan to carry the Buck 301 forum knife this week.

 

[JonMcD]

It’s Zoom Meeting Monday for me again. I promise to fidget with the stockman the most today! Y’all have a good one!

Anybody up for a game of "Go Fish"?

 

[K33ncutter]

Good morning y’all! Hope everyone has a great day!

Great looking trio, Ron!

Today I have here my first Lambfoot I got just a couple of months ago and my Camillus made Buck 301 that I bought in 1974. I carried and used the Buck daily for five or six years.

 

[Onebigbill]

Just plopped this into my pocket...Pretty Boy. I bought this one to keep "Black Jack" company when it's stored away.

Thanks Les! That's a very capable pairing you have today!

GEC used some nice Ebony on those.

Great minds think alike, I'm carrying my Eureka Jack with my Lamb today too.

Great cards, I have a set too.
Lovely pair of fancy cutters.

Yours is a Hubertus, if I see the stamp right? Are you pleased with it? I've been thinking about getting one as well, they are traditional for the Alpine regions. But then I'd have to get a pair of Lederhosen as well ... (which I gladly would)

I haven't actually dressed any game with it, but I am happy with it and confident of the quality. It is a Hubertus. Seller dated it to circa 1950s or 1960s, a pretty wide window. It is carbon.

I remember when he called in Jer, I hope he's doing well Our knives look to be the same size

I make it 4" of sharpened blade, 0.25" of guard, and 4.25" handle.

My Linder is about an inch smaller, and stainless Jer

I was looking at a 3-incher on the bay when I thought I had missed out on this one.
Probably a handy size, especially considering it's a pocket knife.

 

[CelloDan]

Today I will be toting 3 lambs and 3 sourdough loaves

 

[Headwinds]

I'm still looking for a large, medium, small, fixed, slipjoint, lockback, single blade multiblade. I may have to build it myself.

I thought that was the definition of the perfect Forum knife.

They are widely seen on the hills and mountains aren't they? I knew a guy in Sheffield (actually one of Joseph Rodgers last cutlery apprentices) whose German mother sent him to school on a fairly tough Sheffield housing project wearing Lederhosen!

Actually in Slovenia you'll only see Lederhosen as part of traditional folk costumes, but in neighbouring Austria you see people wear them in public in the summer. Even in cities. As for Jagdnickers, I don't know how common they are today. I believe our hunters mostly use different knives although in the past they would be more common. Back in Yugoslavia many people went to work in Germany for years, sometimes decades, and they'd bring back Solingen knives as gifts for their friends and family. The quality was there before they started outsorcing and you didn't need to break the bank to get a good knife, unlike today. The words Solingen and Rostfrei were a mark of quality and even today people recognise them as such. And that's all I see in antique shops and fleemarkets around here. Knives stamped Solingen or some obscure mistery knife without any markings. Never saw a Czech, Bulgarian, Polish or Russian knife here. While people would bring back Soviet binoculars, cameras and such (in primary school I still used a soviet microscope and that was 15 years ago), they'd go for German knives and the occassional SAK. Today we still dont know about French knives other than Opinel, and seeing something from Sheffield or America would be close to a miracle ...

screened porch nice, a vintage one! Sounds like a great knife.

A Barlow and a Whit-L-Craft to start the week.

Thank you kindly, JJ. Lovely pair to start the week. Beautiful image. Great looking Keen Kutter Barlow. The Whit-L- Craft is equally nice.

Jack Black - Your Gunstock Jack is a handsome knife. The German fixed blade is old school cool, while the Hartshead is in a class of it’ own.
