What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Today I'm carrying my Aitor Castor. I'm liking it so far. It fits right in with my Opinels and Douk-Douks. Very nice knife for the money as far as I'm concerned.

Im not sure what I wanna carry yet.....
Either a Victorinox Pioneer,
A Case Slimline trapper,
Or a Sodbuster JR.......
 
Changed my setup to include my new Zippo pipe lighter courtesy of Elliott ( Blues ) as some of you know Elliott's generosity is exceptional and genuine.

You're very welcome, Pete. You could name that image: "Domestic Bliss". :thumbup::cool:

(Well, if it had some sort of alcoholic beverage and pie! LOL!)
 
The judges decided that two or more alcoholic beverages trumped pie. Hey, whaddya gonna do? They're the judges!

looks like i have been overruled from multiple directions
so...i declare Stich to be the winner :p

i dont know what he just won, but he is the winner :D
 
Christian, I like how it came out. Looks great to me. These ought to be really good users. I've just got a hint of patina starting on the tip of mine. Maybe I ought to give the cold blue program a try. I used to have some Herters "Belgian blue" that would have been perfect, but it got used up long ago. I know there are better cold blues out there now, but I'm not wanting a deep blue black, just actually what your knife looks like.

Just doing my part. I can't believe how durable ebony is. Those scales look to have very little wear.



Thanks Ed. As you already know, Queen used thick stock for the blades. Combined with the obtuse bevel on my example, I had some difficulties with sharpening. I scratched it up pretty good trying to get a decent edge. I was finally able to last night, but my new knife suddenly looked a bit beat up. So I used sandpaper to even out the finish, applied some cold blue for a pre-patina and voilà! The appearance improved while at the same time removing any reluctance I may have had in putting this piece to work.
