What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[r redden]

I've got to buy a new camera going through old photos to find what I'm carrying is a real pain well......you know where.

 

[K33ncutter]

At least the two most important blades work! Still a nice looking knife. OH

True. Not like I go around castrating things very often.

1971 CV Case Stockman. Full disclosure, the reason that third blade is not open is because it is about the hardest to open of any knife I have had in the 60+ years I have been carrying knives. The seller failed to mention that.
​

I had a 64-69 Case 47 pattern stockman that I never did get the Spey open. Knife was almost mint and I was pretty sure I’d scratch the heck out of it using a tool so I just sold it( but at least I told the buyer first).

Two for Tuesday

Queen #10 and #47

Nice. I like Winterbottom. I keep looking the #10. Is it Delrin or bone?
The 47 is obvious, but the 10, I can't tell for sure from the pic.

Hot and muggy carry today.

 

[SteveC]

Nice. I like Winterbottom. I keep looking the #10. Is it Delrin or bone?
The 47 is obvious, but the 10, I can't tell for sure from the pic.

Thanks, the #10 is bone.

For my special day I’ve picked two special knives to share in the festivities! Y’all have a safe and blessed day!

What a special pair for Father's Day, Ron!

I gotta share this- mainly because this forum is guilty of whipping my pocket knife obsession into a frenzy. All four kids agree...

Very cool; thanks for sharing it!
4 kids who all agree on your pocket contents, but no two spell the word the same.

Always a treat to see them Gary

Nice to see the quartet again.
I often wonder where you carry your daily four?
I'm imagining a messenger bag with text books and knives.

Thank you, Gary! You should acquire a jigged wood knife. It's always good to see your "Quotidian Quartet!"

It's always great to see your wonderful quartet; the Euler's identity knife is also a real thing of beauty, too!

Thanks, Jack, John, Dean, JJ.
John, the 2 SAKs are always in my left front pocket, the Minichamp suspended from the pocket edge by the little clip it's attached to, and the Solo standing up, thanks to the safety pin trick. The Sodbuster Jr and the scrimshawed Rough Rider stockman share a nylon slip (front left in pic that follows) that is either in an outside pocket of my backpack, or vertically behind one of my suspender straps.

These today...

Heavy pockets

Harry

Stupendous stag pair, Harry!

Lovely knife, José!

well.... never been much on large trappers but they fit in my watch pocket, thissun is quite fetching, and...... my 5year old picked it out for Father’s Day and just beamed this morning giving to me. I Let him watch me touch up the edges till they shave, and I just used it to nip a cigar. I just might change my mind on trappers, well at least when it come to thissun.

Fantastic Father's Day story!

One can easily see why, GT.

Thanks, Harvey; 3 of the 4 have considerable sentimental value for me.

Case mini Wharncliffe Trapper in Rancher Bone and TruSharp

Handsome, handy knife, Frank!

Thanks, Gary. Gift from @Âchillepattada. It's called a "Langres", from where it comes from. Not strictly a sheepsfoot, though--there is some belly in the blade. Great to use in the kitchen.

Thanks for the additional info, Vince. I have a Spanish Taramundi with a blade whose edge is not quite straight, and I like it a lot.

Love seeing the variety in those Case Chestnut Jigged Bone knives. I’m glad you’re still enjoy that beautiful Sowbelly my friend! As always I appreciate the compliment on my carries!

Many thanks, Ron!

Thank you for the kind words Gary, that's incredibly cool about your IXL Canoe, my former brother-in-law was there when those knives were made, some of the best knives made in Sheffield during that period

Thanks for the background info, Jack. It's a well-made canoe, but it is also unusually made (at least to my somewhat inexperienced eyes), with 3 liners on one side of the spring and 2 on the other:

Victorinox Floral Knife in it's Element

Very nice! My most recent knife purchase is one just like that!

An A Wright Lambsfoot, because I almost always have one
And a small Great Eastern #14 Jack, because it's Micarta Monday
...

Marvelous Monday pair, John!

Stellar sowbelly! What is the handle material?

Piano Keys.

Symphonic pairing!

Bone for sure.

This knife has some features I normally dont like but just seemed okay on this knife, like the tip bolsters or the swedge on the spear blade.
I can't say I'm growing to like these features, but I do like this knife enough to look past them.

Thanks for the info on the handle material.

That Buck 501 is a great Father's Day gift!

Case CV Sod Buster Jr. Always a good knife to fall back on.

Classic, ED!

I'm carrying this stockman for Blue Monday.

Striking blue, Dean, and a cool pin!

Utica Cutco and an old PAL today

Another bone bonus, Steve!

Just picked this Tribal Lock in cv today and really happy with the fit and finish on it! Can’t wait to start the patina on that blade View attachment 1363945

That shield/bone combo looks great!

Micarta Monday.

That's a Churchill to cherish, Dave!

A couple of Schrades for Tuesday.

Scintillating Schrade pair, JJ!

...
I decided to drop my 'Ashley's Choice' Lambsfoot in my pocket today, and my Random Tuesday grab was a A Wright Sheepsfoot Have a good day folks

Couple of compelling cutters, Jack!

Thanks, the #10 is bone.

The couple of Winterbottom bone knives I have, have a greenish color (that's very nice too). I like the whitish base on yours.

Thank you, GT.
I always wondered where they all went.
You must have to socially distance yourself from metal detectors.

Marvelous Monday pair, John!

Thank you, GT.

 

[Spaten]

I’ve gone with a stainless knife the past couple days since we had storms yesterday.

 

[Half/Stop]

What a special pair for Father's Day, Ron!

Thank you Gary!

Very cool; thanks for sharing it!

Thank you sir! Gotta love this age: 9,9,7 & 6.

And may I say, I am truly inspired to try out the “double knife in a slip behind the suspenders” carry method. I love it!!!

 

[Ironbut]

Stellar sowbelly! What is the handle material?
- GT

Thank you. The handle on the sowbelly is giraffe bone. Organically raised & harvested just a little bit North of me in Bradford, PA.
No, really it wasn't.

I had a 64-69 Case 47 pattern stockman that I never did get the Spey open. Knife was almost mint and I was pretty sure I’d scratch the heck out of it using a tool so I just sold it( but at least I told the buyer first).

I finally got it open again but the only way that is happening is by opening the other blades first. Still mighty hard though.

Put your feet up Ron Great-looking pair

Now that 48 is a good looking 48 Ron . Maybe it is the UNXLD shield that does it . Of course , it could go without saying how nice the Lambfoot is .
