What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

We ordered the Moore Maker for my son, but the clip blade has a formidable pull to it, so the next chance we had we picked out the Case in person. The Moore Maker is in my pocket as I cut the grass. The Case is in his every day.
 
I'll have to find me a piece of it.... it's got good grain structure, and is light enough that it should darken well with age/use, and still show the grain.

I like your anvil, too..... :cool:
Thanks hornet. I picked the scales up at a local box store believe it or not. Found it in one of their pigeonholes. Don't know about naming the store but let's just say if Lenscrafter sold wood this would be a good name. The anvil started out as a temporary fix but it works.
 
That looks so cool, now you've got me searching for wooden watches...sigh. Is the band comfortable?

Oh, and it goes very well with that #14. :cool::thumbsup:
Thank you, r8shell r8shell ! It's way more comfortable and *way* lighter than I expected. I will admit, though, that the noise it makes as it moves and jostles on your wrist takes a bit getting used to. It sounds... cheap? I don't know if that's the best word. Quality watches are usually associated with weight, metallic noises, etc, and this has none of that. 😂
 
“Yet”!!! Ha.
Actually, that sounds weird. Think maybe they had a batch of improperly tempered springs?
As to that other thing, your generosity, this 881Y knows...

Maybe more than one batch, or a very big batch.

I've lost 3 Queens to this same affliction. Two pen knives in buffalo horn and one mini trapper in delrin. The pen knives popped while Queen was still around and they were replaced by Ryan Daniels, the trapper just popped a couple weeks ago. Since it was already a single blade, it met it's fate. I thought it was a fluke when it happened to the pens, but the trapper was made years after those and went without warning. Sounds like r8shell r8shell 's cocobolos were made several years before those even.

I know that springs can break on any slipjoint but I've only experienced it on a Queen, so it's alarming to me that it's happened on three separate knives!! Queen made some of my favorite knives, and I didn't have the problems that others had with them towards the end. This problem with the backsprings gives me pause on investing too much more into them though.
I posted a thread about it, and there seem to be several of us who have experienced this problem with Queen knives. Confirmation bias or not, it doesn't inspire trust. I may as well carry them, since mine broke while sitting in a box.

Thanks for the info. I find metal bands uncomfortable, and leather ones don't last too long in the sweaty summertime. Wood seems like an interesting option.
 
Sometimes, like about this time of evening, all I need is a pipe knife
Long Bamboo pipe stem for cool smoke and because it's easy to just replace. Bamboo grows on the edge of my property
