What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JohnDF]

someone at the factory put mine together backwards!

I'd send it back for warranty work.

Thought it was fitting to pair it with my Buck 112

Yikes! Is that a thumb stud I see???

Of course those little Jacks didn't have fancy ebony wood, but they were still nifty.

Oh yes... Great memories.

Just put away:
RR1419 "Stoneworx" stockman.
Replaced with: Barehead 2014 Buck 371 with (unbruised) black n' blue G10 covers.
Put Away:
Marbles MR431 D2 Sow Belly stockman
Replaced with: Nothing
Put Away:
Marbles MR278 "GI Utility Knife"/"Demo Knife"
Put Away: Buck 389 Canoe
Replaced with: "Remington" (note quotes) Canoe.
EDIT to add: I just received an email from Bear and Sons, who until recently used to make the Remington knives, concerning this canoe. (pictures were sent to them) "Not Ours." I wonder who made it.
Put Away: Marbles MR278 "GI Utility knife"/"Demo knife".
Replaced with: (BTI) Old Timer 23OT. (I spent too much for it not to carry it, "bad" can opener or no.)
No change:
(BTI) Old Timer 25OT two blade slipjoint folding hunter, on belt.

EDIT 07/022/2020
I "had" to remove the 23OT and replace it with the Marbles MR278 at roughly 22:10 hours (Mtn Time) when I noticed one of the bail rivets went AWOL sometime today.
I also replaced the Buck 371 and replaced it with my BTI Old Timer 858OT when I put the 23OT in the cabinet.

An email with photos has been sent to BTI.
With luck maybe I'll hear back from them 07/23/2020.

Thanks, and I agree~ the 293 is mighty fine!

Wow~ I read this as you cleaned and strained your back in April!
That’s one good reason to shower with your wife- she can soap your back.


Mighty pretty Trapper!

5K Qs ~ thanks for your kind comments and info on your Blak Jaket!

Thank you Jeff.

Guess I coulda draped some asparagus over it.

In all honesty, the studs are the only thing I don't love about that knife.

That’s funny! I actually do have one #73 LL, but someone at the factory put mine together backwards! (Shown here with a #74.)

I was hoping they’d follow up this new run of #23’s with some new #73’s, but it doesn’t sound like that’s the plan.

I guess there really is another Left Handed 73 out there besides mine that I got from Half/Stop . Of course , I expect that he has a back-up or I would never have been able to get it from him .

I also would like a run of the 73s.

Hey Barrett! I had two of those defective #73’s. One of them is hanging out in Wisconsin with my friend Harry Old Engineer . They must have really been lax on the QC that day!

Edit: LOL! Harry beat me to the post!

That was my backup Harry! The other one is in the will!

 

[Half/Stop]

Stay cool, Ron! The high today here in MN is 78°.

I’m trying to stay cool my friend! Just think, y’all get snow there too Barrett! Some places have all the great weather!

 

[Old Engineer]

Well , I guess we now know where 8 % of all that were made that year now reside .

[Half/Stop]

I’m not fond of the heat, but I sure do like the fresh veggies! Here’s some home cooking and all the vegetables came from within 20 miles of my home. Shown with Traditional Knife content!

Harry

Yep!

 

[btb01]

You are just joking right? That is a left handed knife isn’t it?

Yep, it’s a lefty.

This one showed up on the exchange a year or two ago, and despite the fact that I’m not left handed, I couldn’t help myself.

They may have put ‘em together backwards, but they sure did a good job doing it.

 

[JohnDF]

A no-nonsense pocket knife.

Yes they did brother! Some of the nicest colored bone and jigging too!
