What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[bigfish64]

I think most guys would throw this knife in the safe.
Not me... It's way more valuable to me in my pocket.

John, that thing is awesome! Couldn’t agree more, carry it with pride my friend!

Trying to check all the boxes today. Trapper Tuesday, Tribal Tuesday (knife and jigging)! Kind of cloudy this morning, hard to see the colors. Have a great day!

Two blade Tuesday - check. The coloring on the smaller one is fantastic!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Easy on the eyes too!

Thanks a lot @Ice Tigre !!!

[Whetstone39]

Shiny!

For now , thanks! Much appreciated

Awesome orange, Tom, and congrats on the TWO incoming Farmer Xs!

Your stag sowbelly is an absolute stunner, Tom!!

- GT

Thanks GT! The Farmer X's arrived and I am really liking it. I think it will supplant my Pioneer X. Paired with a small fixed blade it may be my favorite combination I have tried so far.

 

[JohnDF]

His finger!!!

Not so far...

John, that thing is awesome!

Thank you Todd.

My father in law had the 1st HP pocket scientific, the HP-35, he let me try it out and I was sold, although I had to get used to the RPN it used. I think the HPs were selling for around 400, which was too rich for my blood. I bought the TI SR-50 for 150 or so, and I still had to think about how bad I wanted one.
I was in the BSEE program at Syracuse U. (thanks to the GI Bill) at the time and it really came in handy, although I had a few professors that would only allow us to use slide rules on tests.
I used that thing for years and years.

Fun times! I've spent way more money than I should have over the years just to "upgrade" my calculator to a "way cooler" model.

Happy Spring!

Fun to see pics like that, Jeff! (Even though I think I'll see more snow this spring. )

Gary, your Man Jack (aka stag senator) is a cool looking knife. What size is it?

Thanks, Dean. It's 3.5" closed. (Yesterday I also measured max "height" from backspring to spine, and max "width" cover to cover, but I've already forgotten those dimensions. Kind of chunky.)

Amazing ornithological photography, Dan!!

Had a few different knives in my pockets today. Right now, it’s these these two. Just fun to look at while enjoying a nice cigar.

Two TEWs for you, Todd! You can join Harry in his two TEWs Tuesdays, too!

Resurrection Guitar brought back my love of working on guitars, and it brings me good thoughts about my boy.
Thanks for asking and letting me share that.

Tough times, Jeff, but thanks for sharing that moving and inspirational story!

...
And I always have my trusty schrade made shapleigh.

Good Golly, Miss Molly!! That's splendid!

Beautiful knife, GT.

Thanks, John.

I’ve always managed someone else’s cattle for them; but today I put my own brand on my own cattle for the first time. I’m pretty excited.

Congrats on the big day, and best wishes going forward!

This is a pretty cool recent addition.

That Ankermesser is a ace, Joe!

I always love it when someone happens to post a "traffic signal trio" with red, yellow, and green knives! Very cool, Todd!

I carried this one to church this morning - thanks to paulhilborn

Irresistible colors on that one, Dean!

Going easy on my pockets with these two from Robeson.

Pleasing Pocket-Eze pair, JJ! Do Pocket-Eze knives always have sunk joints?

Commendable couple of folders, Steve!

Moose and whittler for me on a beautiful spring like day.

Supreme pair of knives, Greg; I especially like the looks of that round-bolstered moose!

Found this strange bird perched on my fence today:

At first, I thought you had added a thumb stud to your Okapi, but after seeing your post of another knife in another thread, I realized the "thumb stud" is a stick-on "google eye".

Carried this micarta Sowbelly all weekend. It’s pretty much perfect in the F&F department. Another example of what Case can do when they’re on their game.

I've pulled so many staples with my pocket knife over the last 20 years of teaching. Seems to be my #1 pocket knife chore.

Really? I just use my fingernails Maybe that's why even 9-10 pulls don't faze me

 

[RDaneel]

Thanks, Dean.
I like the looks of your Congress! (I've been surprised that using a congress knife doesn't really thrill me much, even though in theory I like features of the pattern.)

Thanks, Dean; I think I like old USA Imperials at least as much as any other knives I have.

That elk is enchanting, Dean!

- GT

Thank you for your comments, Gary. Regarding using a congress knife; I had the same feeling the first time I used one. I used this one for a couple things the day I posted it and I don't remember having a problem.

Thanks, Dean. It's 3.5" closed. (Yesterday I also measured max "height" from backspring to spine, and max "width" cover to cover, but I've already forgotten those dimensions. Kind of chunky.)

Irresistible colors on that one, Dean!

Thank you, Gary.

For TC Tuesday, I'm carrying the Ancient One 2.0.

Pleasing Pocket-Eze pair, JJ! Do Pocket-Eze knives always have sunk joints?

Thanks Gary!!! Yes, at least the ones I have

Handsome Barlow and slip, John!

Thank you GT.

Maybe that's why even 9-10 pulls don't faze me

Pulling staples by hand, that's what I'm going to recommend the next time somebody complains about strong pulls.
