What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[BrotherJim]

The fish doesn't think
The fish is mute, expressionless
The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything

That "70 is the new 50" is a load of crap!
*******

60 may be the new 40, but 9 o'clock is the new midnight.

I haven't been following the poll threads on the upcoming Forum Knife, but I'm guessing your sarcasm here was sparked by discussions over there??

yep, pretty much.

I've got the small Italian Pruner in my pocket while doing some puttering in the garden this morning. I'll switch to the Beer & Sausage later for a neighborhood Flag Day Parade and picnic.

What a beautiful pairing, Todd.
A Clip and a Wharncliffe is a favorite pairing of mine... so versatile.

Thanks John, and Zulu pen just tops it off!

Attractive pair of knives and slips, Todd! And I hadn't noticed the sweet tortoise shell bead until this photo!
- GT

Thanks Gary. Picked up that bead for a knife but it’s going to hang out on my slip for awhile.

(The frequent lack of fish cooperation is one of my main reasons for not being a fisherman.)

Just think of it as a walk in the woods, along a stream, carrying a stick.

Camillus #50 and a English Whittler

Along with a couple modern’s, I am using this beauty today. So nice...

That is an excellent combo, S&F. I have not seen a ladyslipper in years, while abundant on my parents property growing up, I understood them to be rare.

Last day before I start rotating again. I figured a fresh edge was due.

I know, right.
Thank God my son just graduated and we won't have any reason to return to this "hole" for a while.

We made it here, returning home this afternoon... can't wait!!!

Excellent picture, Jack.
I enjoyed all your pictures from your hike in the other threads.

I HATE the place buddy! Good luck on the return journey John Thank you very much

Life does begin at 40... but it's pretty much over after you hit 55.
It's a short peak.

Thanks for the Schrade-Wostenholm pages, Jack, and for the photos of that tremendous trio of Wostenholm "collaboration" knives you have!!


Being temporarily without telephone and TV service didn't bother me at all, but apparently I've become addicted to having internet access!

Thanks Gary I haven't watched TV in decades, but I do watch films on DVD, and more recently, online. Years ago, I didn't have a phone for some years, but that wasn't that unusual then

60 may be the new 40, but 9 o'clock is the new midnight.

yep, pretty much.

LOL! I like your choice of cutlery Rachel

 

[Modoc ED]

These two today - Sod Buster Jr. and a single blade Sowbelly. No particular reason but one of them may come in handy when I secure our generator back in the shed. Power was out for 5-hours yesterday and the generator came through like a champ. The only real inconvenience was that I tripped on the generator cord, fell on the sidewalk and busted arse. Sore and stiff as all get out this AM.

 

[JJ Cahill]

A fantastic pairing JJ, and very appropriate, considering Camillus made the parts for the big Lockback

Thank you very much, Jack!!! It never ceases to amaze me how many cutlery ventures Camillus had a hand in!

New Case barehead trapper, I'm very happy with it.

[JJ Cahill]

Two classic beauties JJ

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend I had a great hike yesterday, but I'm definitely feeling my age today!

The shot of your Hartshead looks pretty darn regal, very cool; the Schrade OT is always a good, sturdy partner knife, too!
