What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I suddenly realized my pockets were empty of knives, though I've been carrying around the 10" Ecko Flint and sharpening it.
I had the little white Imperial and the new Kutmaster with me at church, then I thought I'd switch back to the stainless Greensleeves. Then I started thinking that what I really need is something like the fancy handled Utica, but in stainless: one big blade, one little blade, in a nice flat package.
But a stockman's pretty hard to beat. Greensleeves is back in my pocket.

What is spinach-planting weather? It's still 100 degrees here, so I suppose I have to wait a while?

130mm = 13cm > 5in !!!😲
Yowza, that's a lot of Wenger, Jeff! I'll keep my eyes open for a massive novelty item like that.


Flavorful pair of knives, Jeff! :thumbsup:🤓

Appreciate your nice comments, as always, Gary.
Do check out the 111mm Vics and the 130mm Wengers. As with any SAK, the number of layers is what determines how bulky it feels. My 111 has only two, so it feels very slim. My 130 has three ~ can & bottle openers on one layer, saw on another, and blade on the third. This does make it thicker, almost to the point where it’s nearly square in cross section. But in use, it feels perfect and secure.
A tad bulky admittedly, but surprisingly light. I usually carry it in an old Queen folding hunter belt sheath. But not always.

I could see it being the one and only for a long trail backpacker or hunter. It’s a very capable tool.

BUT it absolutely never dawned on me that I’d ever hear someone call it a “novelty knife”. 🤣

Like wolves, SAKs are most effective while traveling in packs! 🤓


Couple of Case charmers, Todd; great photo! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


That Vic Folding Paring Knife is an excellent traveling table knife, and it cuts like the dickens, too! You won't regret getting one, John. :thumbsup::)
Thanks for the kind words about my Solo (or Pioneer 1); I think of it as my "gold watch" retirement knife. ;) (I doubt if I'd EVER consider a single-bladed knife as my favorite of all time, though.)


Practical AND pretty! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Looks like a fun foursome, Jer! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Dynamic duo, whether you ended up gardening or fishing, I'll bet! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


What a phenomenal pair of vintage knives! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


That's an appealing old mini copperhead! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Premium pen knife! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Remarkable pair of vintage champs, Steve! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Couple of colorful cutters, JJ, with a cornucopia of blade choices! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks for sharing some fantastic vacation pics, Bruce; you're getting a lot of mileage from your Case medium stockman! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Cool knife, and not everyone has Jabba the Hut in their yard! :cool::cool:🤓


Definitely getting off on the right foot for September, Jack! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Thanks for the info. :thumbsup: All I could come up with was Prestone Quota Club, and who wants to join a club celebrating antifreeze?

Outstanding bone on that one, John! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


Your green Böker looks grand with the foliage in the background, Todd! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Sensational stag pair, José! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


What a pristine Kutmaster scout! :thumbsup:😲:thumbsup:


I don't remember Schoendienst playing days, and your post made me look him up. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I never realized he had some tough physical challenges to overcome during his career!


That's a splendid knife! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Admirable knife :thumbsup::cool::cool:, but the cap really caught my attention, since I originally thought it said "Fraction Supply Company", and I'm always in the market for some new fractions! :rolleyes:🤓


Congrats on the new cap! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
I'll have to look for that Oktoberfest, too. We sometimes have Shiner products at my grocery store, but I've never noticed their Oktoberfest.


Striking wood, and always a treat to see that baseball mitt pocket slip! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Superb German copperhead! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Sensational SBJr with the chestnut jigged covers, Paul; looks great with a little more point on the blade! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Sounds like a grand time, Greg! Your Churchill is a champ! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


I have a canoe from that series; I think you'll be very pleased with yours. :thumbsup::cool::cool: How do you like the damascus steel blades?


Such cool grain on your aged knife, José! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Flavorful pair of knives, Jeff! :thumbsup:🤓

I like it a lot. There are no gaps in the springs and bolsters, the blades are nicely centered with no rubbing, it's really very sharp and the scales look and feel really good. For $32, that's realy hard to argue with.

This one is for Jon0385 Jon0385 Jon0385 Jon0385 . When I was a kid, Vince Coleman was my favorite player. I sent him this card to sign when I was 12 and he sent it back. And I still have it! Oh, and I carried the Camco today

That’s is awesome! I did the same thing way back when Wayne Gretzky was with the Blues for a minute and the card was sent back signed. When he signed with the Rangers I trashed it. Pretty dumb move.

Enjoying seeing the baseball cards. When I was a boy and a teenager these two locals were hot pitchers. Gaylord Perry and Jim “Catfish” Hunter. Got to meet both several times in eastern NC after they had retired - that’s when I got the autographs. The Schrade-Walden 294 is still as snappy as the day it was built. OH

2 hall of famers, not bad!

I didn’t until a handful of years ago either. Stories like his and many others that deal with heart and character are among the reasons why I don’t like the sabermetrics ruling the game today.

I heard they are a decent team with an okay quarterback. ;)

I heard that too. They might have an Ok tight end to keep an eye on.

That’s too bad you threw it away. I can remember going to the library to get a book with all the stadium addresses and mailing off a bunch of cards. I still have all the cards I got back. I really respect they guys that took the time to sign them. Looking at them brings back lots of good memories.
