What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

This is a special one for me. My dad gave this knife to me on my 13th birthday in 1999, and his dad gave it to him on his 13th birthday in 1969. My grandpa definitely carried it a little before he gifted it! I love it's smoothness with spots of jigging showing through.

That’s the good stuff right there. Thanks for sharing that. It’s inspiring to me as I get all my dad ducks in a row for my boys to hit that age.
 
Bored .... changing a day or two ahead of schedule.

Decided to go with something "different" for a change.

Three with real genuine faux Stag. :D
Marbles MR417 two lade slipjoint folding hunter on belt. Has a dual position nylon sheath, so I'm carrying it horizontal.
No "R" Number "Remington" canoe. I believe it was made by Camillus, way back in the 1990's.
(BTI) Uncle Henry 885UH "large" stockman. (is 3.875 inch/3 7/8 inch closed "large"?)
I've had the 885UH for a bit over a year now. I think this is the first or second time I've carried it. The main blade is a wee bit stiff ... closer to a "8" than a "5". Maybe it'll ease up some more if I carry and use it? After many cleanings, and lubes, I got it down to roughly a "7.5" to "7.75" from the original "9".

Nice old Queen with some great color on those bone handles.
That OU looks to be a wonderful shot gun! Who made it? If you don't mind me asking.

Thanks Gary. The shotgun is a Caesar Guerini Maxum sporting. Guerini makes some wonderful shotguns IMHO.

The #26 and I got into an argument several years back and I needed 10 stitches to end the battle! Even though it was my fault, It went into time out for several years, but finally made parole back into the rotation.

Those are cool little stockmans, been collecting small stockmans a little bit lately, anything under 3”. Very fidgety! How’s the F&F on yours?

F&F are fine on this one. I own a total of four RR small stockmans, and F&F are very good on all. (Except that on one I bought used several years ago the clip rode so low when closed that it was hard to reach the nick. Only took a few minutes to put an EO notch on it.)

Thanks!

It’s a small cutting board made of some spalted red oak that came off my father-in-law’s property. The big loopy handle was a product of following the veins of spalting to show it off. I lucked up and cut into that piece of wood at the perfect time. The tree had split in half in a storm. This piece was at the flared, compressed, and somewhat burled base of the tree that was still in the ground. It was like finding lost treasure when I cut into it. I’ve had fun making all kinds of jewelry, key chains, and toys out of it for family and friends.

Very nice, Jon. I don't think I've ever seen spalted oak that beautiful. Cool handy work too. :cool:
