What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I didn't much care for the bland plain white look, but I definitely wouldn't want it looking like a shop rag either.

 

Very nice!
I wish I knew where mine walked off to ... and if applicable with whom ...

 

Thanks! Maybe yours is lurking in a drawer somewhere and will turn up soon.

non-Alox SAK of the Week is a Vic Florist/Gardener:


My rotation schedule actually "ran out" last week (after 52 weeks), and this week I'm just cobbling together some knives that I acquired since making the schedule. I hope to have a new 55-week schedule ready for next week.
Anyway, that explains why I happen to have TWO bailed non-SAKs this week, and NO International knives.

After "much deliberation" (only 3 or 4 days) I came to the conclusion I "need" to break the "stockman plus ___" habit.
Way back when I was a young lad in Junior and Senior High School, my "normal" carry (no doubt "abnormal" to most I knew back then) was a Buck 110 on my belt, and a Demo knife (attached to a 30 or 34 inch (I forget which) knife chain lanyard) in my pocket.
Since I "survived" with just those two for at least six or seven years in school, I should be able to do the same now ... correct?

I'm going to see how long I can go without a stockman in my pocket.
Carry is a standard production 2015 vintage Buck 110. (bolsters have enough patina to not be a daRn fingerprint/smudge magnet) (EDIT 10-7-20) Switched to August, 2020 web special brass, ebony, and S30V 110. Brass ain't gonna patina if I don't carry and use it ... and a Marbles MR487 "Demo Knife" on a 32 inch watch/wallet double chain lanyard.



I am "cheating" a wee little bit. I put a (BTI) Old Timer 858OTB stockman in my rollator's tote/shopping bag ... "just in case" I need a budding/grafting blade (AKA: "Spey Blade") and/or sheepsfoot blade. It is joining my Mora Number 1 in the bag.

 

I really like the 2 Victorinox - 2 Imperial foursome, Gary; a pocket full of coolness!

 

I really like the looks of a well-worn Alox handle.

 

Junior High & High School you'd find me with a Buck 500 Duke, and a minimumalist SAK, I forget the exact model. From about the age of 20 on I've carried a Stockman of some form or another just about every day, and on the days I choose to carry something else I fell secure in knowing that I have a 1995 Queen 49a in my truck at all times. Good luck, but I bet you feel a little underdressed before too long.

 

Habaneros scare me. But that looks awesome.

The amount of collective knowledge in this here forum is impressive.
Did he reveal how he knew?

I am always happy to see your lovingly worn Pioneer, Gary.
I could never stick to any kind of totin’ schedule, though. I enjoy poking through the cigar boxes before bed choosing the next day’s totes, but quite often change my mind in the morning.

 

Unable to take pictures today so I looked for old photos of what I carried today . Two of my all time favorites .

I think the SCC+ tang stamp did it for him.

What are they laying against? I feel like I have seen something like that before...
