What's your favorite traditional pattern?

Just in case any of you think that I only go for Ebony, here is one in Olde Ivory that John recently sent me. I love it!!! Thanks John.

Yeah, I'm torn between the burnt stag and my addiction for Ebony.

Sigh. I just bought a natural stag Workhorse Whittler. I had promised myself and Wife that I wouldn't buy any more knives this year that weren't already planned (2 from JK and 1 pre-ordered Benchmade) but I kept looking at the Workhorses - and bought one.

Boy, am I in trouble.

I am soo bad.
I sold a couple of knives last week & had some extra dinero so I went looking around on ebay & won these 2 for pretty cheap.
I do love Shcrade knives,they're like JKs,(to quote Mack)"working tools for working tools".
Schrade 33OT & Sears/Craftsman 95041.

Thanks! It won't be my last GEC and may, in fact, turn me on to collecting more trads and less modern styles. I love the thing.

My only complaint was that it came quite dull. I don't really see that as a problem except as how it affects my "lazy bone". The grind was quite good, just dull. I got the clip and sheepsfoot sharpened up pretty quickly on Saturday, but the main spear point blade took a bit more work. All are hair poppin' sharp now.
