What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Jaygti]

Today with this little (nº5) Opinel.

I’ve joined you with a walnut no 6.

 

[5K Qs]

A new Jack today, a gift from JohnDF (thanks John!) and a new SAK Cadet that arrived yesterday afternoon. View attachment 1609181

Double congratulations on your zesty black/red combo, Todd!

When I’m being indecisive, this is usually my go-to. Have a nice day, everyone.

Solid gold go-to choice!

I recall experiencing the same sensation when we were on the FRECCIAROSA trains in Italy. Just an amazing experience. I had my AG Russell Pinched Peanut in my pocket! It handled the ride well!

Very cool! I don't speak/read Italian, but I remember enough high school Latin to guess that the last 3 words on that train mean "to (at?) high speed".

What are you supposed to carry on Thursdays?

My full collection is below. Help me choose.

That's a capital collection! My first recommendation corresponded to what you wrote in a subsequent post: Toothpick Thursday. But I'm also drawn to those Barlows: it's well-known that the "TC" on the bolster stands for "Thursday Carry".

Thanks! I’m very impressed by it, especially at the price. I’m thinking of getting one in olive wood as well.

Olive wood is always a good choice, IMHO!

Sweet lineup as usual Gary!

Thanks, Todd.

...
Two from Ulster today, and the Vic#7.
Funny how the first place my jeans wear out is always right where my knives ride.
Wonder why that is...View attachment 1609223

...

Quite a trio, Jeff! Stockman, TL-29, and scout (SAK) are certainly on my "top 5" patterns list.

...
Cracking Canoe Gary
...
Classic GT trio! Love the look of your 72 Gary
...

I appreciate your enthusiasm, Jack.

Thank you both! I did enhance the original scales with some Fiebing’s mohagany dye.

Looks splendid!

Morning all! My wife and I are celebrating our 15th anniversary today. Time flies when you're having fun!

Congrats on the benchmark anniversary, Mike! I see in a later post that you two celebrated in style, and the matching shirts were a romantic touch!

Thanks GT! My carry habits haven’t changed much in my hiatus from the forums, still a small fixed blade and a utility folder. Although I always have the Farmer X with me regardless of other knives.

Thanks Jack! I had to look up “chip butty” lol .

These two today, as I am watching the mailbox for a new arrival.

Boffo bone on your scout, Tom!

Toting two thrifty Imperials, a cattle knife from the late 30s and a super handy BSA Cub scout knife from the late 40s.

Carrying a couple of superannuated Imperials like that must make you feel like an emperor, JJ!

Hi Gary, thank you, stainless. I like it, still a little rough to work in, but I’ll keep at it. Here is part of the description from the seller here in the US.

Made with 420S454 stainless steel, brass linings & pins, and a nickel silver bolster.

Thanks for the info; that's a classy lambsfoot!

Boker Cattle Jr. and a Utica penknife
...

Holy Handles! Notable covers on that pair, Steve!!

A Toenail and a Tooth!

Striking photo!!

...
They are amazing every time I see them.
I was lucky to be able to ride my horse from the side you see in the picture, straight over the pass to the base on the other side. It was an amazing trip, but we lost a horse over the edge the mountain on the way up. Trip of a lifetime though.

I like that the black ones are cheaper.

I pulled the photo up on my computer and threw my knife on the screen... I was lazy and tired from driving all day.

That's a heavy duty user right there.
...

Quite a story, John! (I doubt if I'd consider myself "lucky" to be crossing the Tetons on horseback.)
I didn't realize that black Alox is typically cheaper than silver.
That's a clever way of getting interesting backgrounds for knife photos; I may try that sometime!
The GEC 72 is a lot of pocket knife!

Reached back for a Case Barlow I haven’t carried in years - went fishing with me this afternoon. Pile side view to show the fire in the bone from the sun (too many reflections from the trees on the blades). OH

Superb Case Barlow, Bruce!
(I think I'm genetically incapable of avoiding reflections in knife photos.)

...
Thank you very much, GT! It's a "D"andy!

All three are dandies! I really like the Canoe!
...

Started off with the Ebony Lambsfoot going to an appointment. Then added a special 1 blade Trapper!

Have a great Friday!

Thanks for the support, Dennis.
Desirable duo of knives you posted! At first, I thought I had a trapper just like yours. But mine is a slimline trapper with a different shape to its clip blade than your 1-blade trapper, and my slimline has no endcap. Both yellow though!

The day is young. Friday is still just a baby and I've already finished up giving this lot some attention
Who knows what may befall my pocket as the day progresses ... something else maybe

Fantastic flock of lambs!

...
Hope everyone has made it through the week OK Carrying these two today

Bewitching brace of blacks for Friday, Jack!

RED Friday

 

[JohnDF]

Real nice, John! Growing up we lived in Green River, down south and east of there. Biggest trout I ever caught was in the Flaming Gorge.

I've got to say, it is very pretty here... nice and green everywhere.

I hope it's not considered bragging when I say, that is an absolutely fabulous knife.

Looks like you are Totin' the fancy stuff today.

 

[JohnDF]

We passed through Buffalo Bill territory yesterday.


Still carrying the Cadet, relaxing in Omaha after a long trip.

 

[Old Hunter]

Superb Case Barlow, Bruce!

Old Hunter Old Hunter very nice barlow. Execellent example of that striking bone

Thanks guys, one of my favorite Barlows. OH

John, your ALOX VIC is serving you well! Looks like a fun trip (in spite of WY surprising knife restrictions). OH

 

[5K Qs]

Peanut of the Week is a Camillus 21 (thanks, Mike):


Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is a Joker horn lockback:


Lambsfoot of the Week is a Chinese Schrade 19OT Land Shark, but I call mine Lambshark:


- GT

 

[Old Hunter]

5K Qs I do like that Camillus version of the Peanut - the ones I have handled have had nice snap to the blades. Going to carry my vintage Camillus #75 Jr. Cattle today. It has the same type synthetic handles as GT's Peanut - never heard what they may be made of, but some pre-Delrin material. OH

 

[Catdaddy2]

Just picked up another Boker the other day. Stout and no worries putting it to use. Don't know much about it but like the spear point.

 

[Old Engineer]

I recall experiencing the same sensation when we were on the FRECCIAROSA trains in Italy. Just an amazing experience. I had my AG Russell Pinched Peanut in my pocket! It handled the ride well!

I finally found these Old Pics related to Trains
