What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Mediocre change:
Just swapped out the BTI 858OT for a BTI 858OTB.
"What's the difference?" you ask? The OT has saw cut Delrin covers, and "440A equivalent" 7CR14MoV blade steel.
The OTB has genuine saw cut bone covers, and "440C equivalent" 9CR18MoV blade steel.
Oh yeah ...n my examples. the OT's clip point is 10 DPS, while the Spey/Budding/Grafting and Sheepsfoot are at 15 DPS.
The OTB has all three blades at 15 DPS.

I don't know why 440C and "440C equivalent" holds a working edge better at 15 DPS, compared to 440A (and 1095 or T10) at 10 DPS.*
For some unknown to me reason(s), 440C won't hold a working edge as long at 10 DPS.:(

OTB is on the left. As you might be able to see, there is a slight color difference between the real bone and Delrin.

Thank you very much, Joshua. I've already released my inbox.
Yes it is a Thiers Pocket (10 cm closed) by Fontenille Pataud, for me it is a wonderful knife, it has been the knife that I carry practically every day.
I happen to be eyeing a Capuchadou, but I'm still a little hesitant.
I really like my Capuchadou—extremely well made. I usually carry it on Sundays because it just feels like a more elegant knife than a daily user.

Nice! Elephant, mammoth, or warthog?
 
Cleaned out my go bag and realized I should post these, they were in the bag not on me all the time, but I did have them close by most of last week.

The Case lives in the bag all the time, its my improvisational eating knife if I need it. I tend to get a good dry salami and block of cheese if I need a snack out around town.

The Rough Rider, was for whittling, since it is a whittler. ;) Been wanting to start a wood chain, had hoped to do it as a time killer last week. Didn't work out. Also, been wanting another new whittler styled knife, but I never use this one. Figured I'd better see if I actually want what I think I do... still don't know. Lol.

Thanks Jack!!! They are a very fun pairing. :)

You always have such wonderful metal Sheffield totes; this IXL with the pouch is a classic, looking very cool with your Hartshead! :D:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Toting these two Case jacks to start the week. :)

Thank you kindly good sir, you're showing two Bobby Dazzlers there! :D I keep looking from that great jigging to the saw-cut bone, and back again, and it's hard to say which I admire the most :cool: :) :thumbsup:

Pairing my Hartshead Barlow with Charlie's Diamond Jack today :) :thumbsup:
