What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Jack - Can't beat it can ya? It used to be a regular haunt of mine when I lived in Leeds who knows how many times we could have been drinking together and not even realized? Chin chin!

Andi - Thank you sir. They look good together. Hope you have a great Yule Tide.

Ed J - Can't get enough of those Barlows! I'll look forward to it.

After a tickle on the DC4 I've got the sphere 'lock' Le Theirs on hand....with its all important sheath (it tends to open up a little in the pocket without!)

This right here looks like a good time. Nice blades, a tin of snuff. Good in my book.
 
Thank you guys!

@Thom: As I promissed you - I put a new edge on that nice old Penknife. Now it cuts like a razor - Thank you very much for this nice gift. It has almost a special place in rotation and it feels as great pocket (and in hand) so that I will carry it very often.

@waltmc: Thanks for the kind words. But it´s not a snuff (aka dipping tobacco) as its common in the US - it´s a snuff of the european way - means, we take the snuff through the nose ;) However - this and the company of my father and the whole family with some beer will promise a good evening :D
 
Got the all-time favorite today. It wouldn't feel right if i didn't carry it for the festivities of Christmas Eve!

That snuff got there fast Andi! Shame they had to go and spoil the tin, but Wilsons is a VERY historic firm and I grew up a stone's throw from their factory - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilsons_of_Sharrow Hope you and your dad enjoy it :thumbup:

Wow, there are some gorgeous knives being pictured the past few days -- well done everyone!

I am taking a 10 minute rest break (and had to check in here!), between this morning's activities (took the dog to the kennel, shopped for all this afternoon's cooking/baking, attended yet another funeral) and this afternoon's kitchen activity. The family of my son's girlfriend is coming to our Christmas Eve service then back to the house for a fun evening. I have about a half dozen dishes to prepare before I leave at 5:30, so I guess my break is about up.

6332 stockman in my pocket today.

Oddly Gevonovich, I find myself somewhat envious of Your Utica!!!
Very sweet!

I second that. The Utica is really special. Not that unlike the TCs, just older and has developed more character. Looks like a great knife to me.
