What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[sunknife]

A proper penknife

Very attractive knife, horn scales? The centered bar shield is perfect for that pattern IMO.

 

[SVTFreak]

Another day of keen/carry/clean. Not as excited about this one. Great knife but just not my favorite. Think I’m gonna look to trade it.

 

[Spaten]

Case med stockman with me today.

 

[5K Qs]

Seems like I'm awfully busy these days. Teaching a class during this pandemic makes me feel 50 years younger: 50 years ago I had no idea what I was doing in class and it took me forever to get ready for teaching. And that's exactly what it's like here in my "golden years"!

Anyway, I don't get to BF as much as I used to, and I discovered I have a bunch of multi quotes saved up. I don't know when I saved them or what they're about, so this will be a journey of re-disovery for me.

Western

...

That's a beauty! I don't think I've ever seen a Western knife in person.

Your Schrade half-congress is a dream come true, Gev!!

...
I think gps nav is handy for the first time trying to find an address in a strange town ~ after that they quite literally block my brain from navigating and actually learning a new area.

You know what’s fun? Make note of interesting terrain/geography, and later use google earth to see what it looks like in detail.

Today, I have my Eye Witness and Camillus barlow...View attachment 1465183

I often come back from one of my "urban hikes" and pull up Google maps to see where the heck I've just been!
Jeff, that Tip Top is what it says, the Schrade whittler is stunning, and I admire the stripes on your walnut TEW lambsfoot!

GT, Eleanor has handled everything this year surprisingly well (certainly better than some adults ), but it is hard to see her missing out on things that she loves to do.

Another Two TEWs Tuesday :

...
Harry

Those are very gentlemanly, Harry! Nice!!

Two PAL's for Tuesday

Your PALs have some noteworthy bone, Steve!

...
I already had a handful of Bull Noses from previous runs, so the Muslin Micarta was the only one I bought that time around. I think it’s one of the more interesting Micartas that GEC uses. I do enjoy the #71!

Impressive line-up, Barrett!
Do you have any Case Sodbuster Jr.s? If so, how do the Bull Noses and the SBJrs compare?

...
A new Case Tear Drop Jack in CV (very well built) and a Radio Shack red cellidor Electrician today

I'm a big fan of the Alox Electrician, Paul, and that celidor version is a cool variation!

They got the bolsters and handles right on that one, they are great.
I really wish they had done that same setup with a clip point or drop point blade.
RR seems to be on a kick of running "unique" knives lately.

I have both of these in the small and large both with smooth bone, great knives, i use for slicing and cutting cheese. But what you say is correct, the above bone with a clip point, and i'm all over it. I hope they get back to just making some old patterns.

The scales look great. I just don't get the choil/tang dohickey with this pattern. Maybe in the hand it might make more sense.

Thanks, guys.
I'm not from the American South, so this is just hearsay, but my understanding is that the cotton sampler is a very traditional old pattern (with a very unusual, but traditional, blade).

I miss going to Barnitt's hardware store Smashing trio of knives Gary

Stan Shaw has been very much in my thoughts these past few days, and particularly so today, on his 94th birthday, Carrying my Stan Shaw Sheepsfoot, along with my regular Hartshead Barlow

Thanks, Jack. Maybe with vaccines starting to be given, you'll get back to Barnitt's before Yorkshire Day!
Thanks for all your recent musings, postings, and photos related to Stan Shaw and his birthday, Jack. The knife he made for you is ravishing!

I carry this Bulldog Barlow in Ram's horn on my pocket.
...

I always admire that Bulldog Barlow, José!

Totin' an A Wright Lamb and an Old Queen Stockman for Wooden Wednesday.

Good morning! I went out around 6 to start Pam's car to warm up and to roll the trash to the curb. It was 21°F with no wind and we had a frost that looked like a young snow! So my photos are from indoors this morning! I'm carrying a new Opinel No.8 Sandvik with a Walnut handle, along with my Rosewood Hartshead Barlow! Y'all stay safe out there!

Lovely Lumber, John & Ron!

A great trio of International knives Gary!

Thanks for the kind words, Ron.

Thanks John! I'm finding the Opi's to be fantastic slicers!

You know what Carl J jackknife always says: "They cut like the dickens!"
My experience is that Carl knows of what he speaks!

Just arrived, Le Thiers Pocket par Fontenille Pataud in stag.
...

Congrats on the incredibly handsome new knife, José!

Thanks Gary! We had a nice visit! I like that Schrade Whittler my friend!

Very attractive Whittler, GT.

Thank you kindly Gary, what a handsome Whittler

Thanks, Ron & John & Jack; I appreciate your frequent encouragement.

...
It is a beauty, gift from Âchillepattada . As for the Danish cookies, I saw my daughter with a small tin. She keeps sewing stuff in it. I mentioned that my grandmother always had a tin of Danish butter cookies around, and wanted to buy some. I guess she went shopping with my wife, because they brought that tin home recently. Didn't last long, even though a "serving size" is four cookies!
Carrying the Laguiole again today:

Thanks for "the rest of the story", Vince.
That Lag looks luxurious on leather!

Very nice GT, simple knife with an attractive woodgrain. OH

Thanks, Bruce; lot of "sentimental value" in that knife.

Two for today, a Böker Whittler in my LFP and small Case in my watchpocket. OH

Potent pair of pocket knives, Bruce!

Buck 501 and Victorinox Pioneer.

Sweet pair, ED! That Buck isn't nearly as big as I'd thought it was (which makes it even more appealing to me)!

Thanks Gary and nice totes !

Thanks, Steve.

Sunlight!

Nice photo of a tremendous trio!

Toting this pair of wood covered slicers today.

Wow; élancé et élégant, JJ!!

...
Fantastic foursome of 3 great patterns; really like the Imperial canoe family!

Thank you, sir!

I really enjoy mine, easy to carry and I like the thin blade. It is big #19 with a long (California?) clip instead of the wharncliffe.

I like the blade shape, it's the handle shape that's putting me off.

Teaching a class during this pandemic makes me feel 50 years younger: 50 years ago I had no idea what I was doing in class and it took me forever to get ready for teaching. And that's exactly what it's like here in my "golden years"!

Lol... I laughed so hard...

Lovely Lumber, John & Ron!

Thank you, GT.

Second one I've seen in as many weeks... I need one, it has the perfect combination of blades.

 

[Splitear]

For the past few weeks I’ve been carrying my Cheetah, but the other day I picked up a Folding Hunter at a great price, and decided to carry a big boy around for a while.

i’ll echo what John said, Gary.
That 93 is special!

And thank you for your kind comments, my friend.
What’s this about your olden years? You’re only as golden as you feel! Or something like that. Eh? What was I talking about?

Wow; élancé et élégant, JJ!!

Two quality Cases, which go together very nicely JJ
