So what traditional knife is on your Christmas list this year?

While I'd love a birch-bark handled puukko by Pekka Tuominen to show up under the tree, current finances won't allow.

Instead I'm torn between either a Case Bone Stag SBJ or Sowbelly.
 
I asked my wife for the new-ish Checkered Bone Peanut. I'm very excited for Christmas morning!

How good have you been? Perhaps Santa will leave you something nice under the tree. Until then a little something to tide you over.

I'm asking Santa for a dremel, I've got 6 feet of 1075 in the mail and 6 feet of black walnut that I just brought home today.

I know that's not a traditional knife, but it will be when the sawdust settles.

Making > Buying :p

I've wanted a birch bark puukko like kamagongs for years now, I should really just man up and buy one.

As for gifts, I don't celebrate Christmas and even if I did, my wife would argue that I've "gifted" myself enough knives already! ;)

I was thinking about adding a belt sander to the list. I've got a case stockman broken down, and I intend on rebuilding it into a single blade. But I refuse to do another project all by hand. The last time I rehandled a knife with African Blackwood, and I swear it took me three months to finish it. I would get so frustrated that I would just throw it down for weeks at a time.
 
I guess my wish list would be to find the ones I got a couple years ago while on the road.
They made it home, but had been misplaced by the time I got there.
Nothing fancy, just a second/backup Buck 301, a Rough Rider white bone 2 blade Barlow, and white bone large sunfish.

Lost job, so chances of a new knife other than those are below zero.
 
A TC barlow or one of the new #13s when they release if they do release before Christmas.
Or one of those #46 Whalers. I have always kept from buying one because they are very expensive and hard to come by. I do love sunfish patterns.
None of this is stuff I really need but it's just ideas.
 
Wow fishhunter so sorry to hear about your job I sure hope you find something much better very soon.

I bought myself a little present off of the exchange Friday. One of this last batch of 77 single blade clip point Barlows in sawcut bone (this one is a second). Won't get it til this coming week so no picture.

Thanks. "much better" would be I got home more than once or twice a year.
Leaning toward not going back out on the road. Local or regional, maybe. Presuming I can pass the physical again. Blood pressure has been creeping up. :(

There are a few stocking stuffers inside the box as well. ;)
 
I want a Buck 112, from the custom shop, with nickel silver bolsters and buckeye burl scales. The question is "Have I been naughty or nice?" 😇

congrats! I was watching that one to see the results, glad to see you got it, for sure :thumbup:
 
I just have one on my list, the upcoming TC barlow. Unless Santa has a surprise for me, I won't get my hopes up.

Just be careful and know when it is time to do things by hand. I'be ruined lots of things just with one bad swipe of the belt sander. Only use it for rough shaping.

I'm actually using mine less and doing more things by hand now, at least until I borrowed a dremel. That's a nice happy medium.
