What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Each week, my rotation schedule assigns me a couple of canoes and a couple of stockman knives to carry.
This week, the canoes are a smooth black bone Colt (thanks, Mark) and a Rodgers-Wostenholm NKCA 3-blade (thanks, Tony):

Hope everyone is having a good day :) I'm carrying my Hartshead Barlow today, along with a Thrifty Thursday Chinese Imperial Stockman (bought this knife last year, and it's the first time I've carried it), and a new arrival on my belt :) :thumbsup:

That's a nice looking fixed blade you have, Jack. I might have to look those up. :thumbsup:

Dunno if we're getting a Forum Knife this year, so I'm carrying last years. (I'm sorry I'm not practicing Thrifty Thursday today. In fact, the forum knife is getting more expensive every day. ;))

Thanks Rachel, they have a good reputation :) I've had my eye on one for a while, but really wanted one with a full flat-grind and a standard blade finish. Both are available, but the only European stockist I could find only have limited options. Having waited six months, I finally gave up and ordered a couple of weeks ago. Checked their site last night, and they now have other options :rolleyes:

"Wood" if I could, Ron. I just grabbed it today, as I haven't toted it much. I have an Elmer Keith-style fixed blade by this maker (see below), but that tang stamp is all that I have to go from. And I haven't gotten very far. Tried in the customs thread with no luck. Well, it gives me more purpose in life!!

Great knives Stuart! :thumbsup: Too bad you can't acknowledge the maker, but you can't tell someone's name if you don't know it! :)

Thanks for the kind comments on my mystery maker knives, guys. Steve, I agree that the stamp does resemble the Queen stamp of 1984-1990 in an inverse way. Dylan, the fixed blade is fashioned after the mountain sheep hunting knife that the great Gil Hibben made for the famous gun/shooting writer Elmer Keith. Here's another by the same un-named maker that I'm going to tote today (albeit non-Thrifty - - Trapper Thursday, maybe) to continue the mystery:
