What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Today was July 22nd, which means I was carrying Eleanor’s Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose.
;);)I had this knife with me when she was born four years ago (she was very punctual, and showed up right on her due date).

Now I carry it on her birthday every year (and any other day Eleanor has something special going on).

I’ve also made it a tradition to take a photo of Eleanor holding her knife on her birthday, which I enjoy getting to share with y’all. Here she is on her first birthday:

And her second (which was her least cooperative birthday when it came to having her photo taken with her knife :D):

This was on her third birthday last year:

This year’s birthday was a pretty low key affair with everything going on, but we still had a great day. :thumbsup:
Great pictures! Is it my imagination, or is that knife getting smaller every year?;)
 
I'm not smart enough to buy a ticket! :( They introduced a national lottery here in 1995, and having never bought one, I really wouldn't know how to go about it. From what I see, standing in line at the newsagent, there seems to be a lot more to it than saying, "One lottery ticket please!" :rolleyes:



That's special Gary :cool: :thumbsup:



A very Happy Birthday to Eleanor Barrett :) Great pics, she is really growing up :) Congratulations to all the family :) :thumbsup:

Hope you had a nice time with your granddaughter Vince, one of my kids is called Eleanor too :) :thumbsup:

Morning folks, carrying my Hartshead Barlow today, and an Okapi Biltong Knife kindly gifted to me by @r8shell :) :thumbsup:

Beautiful pic of the barlow stag. Nice looking Okapi too. I think Rachel also posted one.

Camillus #12 Medium Jack and an Imperial Cattle knife

The jigging on those is fantastic!

Ah! Jose Herreros Gomez! I should carry mine again soon. That is a work of art. Did you ask for the nail nick? Mine does not have one.
 
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship
My senses have been stripped
My hands can't feel to grip
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it

And take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

Happy Birthday Eleanor! It is great to see her grow up, Barrett. She's probably had her knife longer than some of us carry one! Thanks for your annual photo essay. :D:):thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Watch pocket Knife of the Week is a copper-bolstered Rough Rider clip/spey pen knife with grooved buffalo horn covers:

Big Knife of the Week is an amber bone SS Case Sodbuster Jr (not very big, but I classify my SBJrs that way so I get to carry them more often :rolleyes:):
