What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I think the Beer and Sausage Knife makes the Beer Scout redundant, and therefore obsolete. :D

Pfsht....not if you’re a notorious “double fister”. :p

(And just a note of caution...”double fister” should never be used in the W&C arena of the forum...I think it means something different for the folks there).

A 2011 Geppetto Whittler that had severe red rust just on the main blade for some odd reason, yet no other knife in the knife roll did??? you can see the light pitting it left behind:eek: paired with my yellow TC:thumbsup:

Thanks Ron! Went on an adventure with the fearless four and their beautiful mama today. Great hike to a waterfall swimming hole. These are the kind of days that make you happy to be a dad. And the pioneer did an excellent job cutting up apples for lunch.









That looks like fun, until you get sucked underground and drowned.
Glad you all made it back.
 
Thanks Jack!!!

Very cool old TEW you've partnered up with your HHB; really dig the backgrounds you have in both images!:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Many thanks JJ, the top photo was taken on my mate's second-hand tool stall yesterday. The background of the lower photo shows women munitions workers in Sheffield during WW2 :thumbsup:

I've been toting a pocket friendly LT Wright fixed with this single spring GEC 62. :)

I have been cleaning this up for a few days now. WWII Ka-Bar "Trench Art". This is a "Theatre Knife" An original Ka-Bar made by the Union Cutlery Company which later became "Ka-Bar". The first ones made had screw on pommels like this one. Later they were made by other companies as well with peened pommels. It is 1095 steel and was originally blackened with a leather stacked handle. It was popular for GIs with access to mobile or ship based machine shops to alter their Ka-Bars. Aluminum and Plexiglas were newer materials back then and it was popular to make these handles in various patterns like this. Polishing the black off the blade was less common. This one also has a sharpened drop point as well. The handle materials were often salvaged from downed air craft and the most prized ones were made with parts from downed Japanese Zeros. Of course the story with most of them is that they came from such a source as was the case with this one; there is no way to know at this point. The friend who gave me this received it from a relative in about 1950 when he was 10 years old. When I received it it was in pretty rough shape. It 's been really fun to restore it to it's original gaudy appearance.

I know it's kinda late, but I'm replying simply because that is gorgeous. Lately I've been contemplating asking some custom knife makers if they can do one of those for me with an existing KA-BAR.
