What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

4 more new knives from my July buying spree that I've been carrying for the past 3 weeks and will carry until Labor Day.
Chinese Queen canoe in brown sawcut bone that I like very much so far:

Klaas Black Angus, made in Italy, with plastic handle; the blade needs some work on its edge:

MAM sheepsfoot that is a replacement for an almost-identical knife I traded away earlier this year:

Ka-Bar hobo knife whose box makes clear that the company is headquartered in the US, even though knife and sheath are made in China. My first knife from Ka-Bar, and my first hobo pattern:

Another nice selection of knives, Gary.;)👍👍
 
‘93 Case Camp Knife and a Park Sherman Match Safe. Lot of good times with this rig.

This brings back fond memories. My match safe had the rubber gasketed screw on lid and had the BSA logo on the side. I would love to still have my first scout knife, I think it was an Imperial, but especially my Official Boy Scout Plumb hatchet.
When you have younger brothers and go away to college...
 
A Voos Jack, and a Victorinox 111mm. 7E91196C-FCA3-4FCF-8E90-C7E39BF02B64.jpegBAE91B1B-8B3E-4F86-8231-167811C03D4B.jpegThis Voos, judging by the jigging being a little smoothed, the dye a bit faded, and the chip by the pin ~47043662-A3C8-48E0-9FA2-B2214FCD0F36.jpegmust have been someone’s constant companion. But it had been lovingly cared for by someone who knew how to sharpen without marking up the blades and turning them into slivers. This was the first Voos I bought, and gets the JohnDF JohnDF protective slip.

She left him a broken, hollowed out shell of the man he used to be.05BCD6B3-1B5B-42BC-BFB0-FA19FFFE2CEC.jpeg

Solid knife, Jack. 🤠:thumbsup:
If you ever get into trouble on one of your hikes, you can use the shield as a signal mirror.
how about some of the other tools?
They were just some assorted leather working tools I had sitting on my workbench.
If I remember correctly, there was a scratch awl (looks like an ice pick), a stitch marker (the little wheel with little teeth), an edge beveler, a shoe hammer, and a mallet.
Thank good ness you had your Boat Knife with you. 🤠:thumbsup:
