What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Trying to improve my fingerstyle playing today with my classical guitar. My classic yellow Case stockman is in my pocket. I think it looks pretty good with the rosewood guitar back.

Look what arrived just in time for Wooden Wednesday.

Can you imagine how much fun it must be to work at Great Eastern Cutlery and see all the different handle materials? Whoever hafted this one took the time to carefully match the handles. A true cutler.
Very cool! I hope the one I have on the way looks as interesting as yours. I agree, it must be a treat to play with the materials as a cutler at GEC. I hope they have time to stop and admire their fine work.

Score! Almost makes me wish I’d gone for the Coco as well, but I think I’ll be quite happy with my #15 haul when it’s in. Congrats on that great catch!
 
I've got my Lloyd with me today. The pic is not new, as we had about a foot of new snow overnight. The Motorola Razr pictured was retired long ago, and wasn't my first mobile phone, just the oldest that I still have. Man I wish I could get by with using it again. Best cellphone ever made IMO. Just right for the pocket, unlike the the current crop that get larger every year. My next new smartphone, which I'm due for, will be one of the new flip phones.

Here's a web pic of the first carphone I ever had! At least the image looks like it. I still have a newer car phone in a box somewhere....Wow, how things have changed!

Anyway, ain't my Lloyd beautiful! :D

Well, there you are. Technology always comes and goes - sometimes for better sometimes for no reason at all- but skill and beauty never go out of fashion. Quality is timeless. Quality is like a good meal, you can't fake it ;)

Thanks, Will
 
Have these in my pockets :

We have not had this much snow in a while :
Out the front door of Bay 3

Out the back door of Bay 3 toward our patio

Got the First shot for Covid 2 days ago : Yesterday = fine /// Today = Very Tired just like after the Normal Flu Shot .

We were supposed to get some more of that white stuff this past weekend, but I guess it missed us completely. No worries, still plenty on the ground here to go around. :D

Are they doing the car-on-the-ice this year, Harry?


Nice photo! :cool:

I once saw one of the Nokia's survive getting run-over! :D

I saw a thing a while back where someone had asked why they ever bothered making protective cases for those old Nokias, and another person replied, “That wasn’t to protect the phone. It was to protect the floor.” :D

I’ve had my 2017 BF TC in my pocket for the past week or so, but I hadn’t taken a single photo of it. :eek: :rolleyes: Figured I had better get outside and get a halfway decent pic of something; it’s supposed to get cold this weekend.

I can tell that is a very comfortable knife to hold. Very nice.
Haven’t seen any of that green stuff on the ground lately...

That’s a beautiful rosewood back, indeed. I hope your practice was fruitful.
I have been playing every day lately. Nobody was home today, so I was able to open up the old Pro Reverb:D

So nice, Greg. A knife like that is just about perfection.
Mine is old and not too pretty, but very handy... an old Lipic (by Camillus) jack.

New name to me. I have a nearly identical Camco, at least the blades are the same. Your scales are much nicer. Mine was an advertising knife.
Gotta love that swedged spear.:thumbsup:

Lipic printed advertising on knives made by Camillus. I have one with plain white scales and the one above with cracked ice type. They both had printed ads on them which I removed. They have excellent walk and talk with a nice half-stop and are a great bargain! I'm a Camillus fan and the swedged spear blade is a look I like. :)
