What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Gevonovich]

I'm enjoying your "Into the Garden" series, Gev! (Alternate title: Into the Menagerie. ) That's a handsome red knife!



Holiday weekend here in the US, and I finally "closed the books" on my spring semester yesterday, so I'm going to work hard at relaxing this weekend! Carrying some recent purchases that haven't made it onto my rotation schedule yet (I plan to start updating that schedule this weekend).
A matching pair from the Marbles Workman series, camper and "trapper":

Another matching pair of Marbles with ram's horn covers, sowbelly and canoe:

- GT

I will think of a series to go with your suggestion, Gary Thank you ! I find the Marbles workman series very intriguing !

 

[Will Power]

Simple is often very satisfying Frank.

Thanks, Will.

Some gorgeous fixed blades posted today

Went for a quick hike at a local state park this morning, carrying these two.

I love a small fixed blade in my back pocket, always comes in handy.

Nothing fancy. A Buck 301 in black Valox covers. Mostly because I have a thing for Buck 301's. Always have. (Sorry for the pic. It's the only one I have with this particular 31.)

I love the Buck 300 series, I have a few, do you ever spin them on their backsprings ? Greatest spinnin' knife out there, they were the original fidget spinners.

This one for Stag Saturday

I see that piece of cardboard under the etched blade . Try puttin' a big bag of rice down with a cloth over it to shoot your pics. You can position your knife/knives anywhere or way you want.

This is the other one I threw in my pocket.

Exhilarating and elegant, Dean!

As always, I'm also carrying a Vic Minichamp and a Rough Rider small stockman (thanks r8shell):

- GT

Thank you, Gary! It is always good to see that very special knife; it is an incalculably appropriate carry for you.

I carried one of my new 54's today. This Brown Burlap was in the pocket! Hoping everyone has a great weekend!

This is what I said when I saw this knife, Ron: "Wow!" 'Nuff said!


Have a good weekend all. I'm still trying to figure out what to carry on Memorial Day. I went with a simple Vic Cadet today (the one at the bottom of the photo).

You were up early on a Saturday morning, Ron! Congrats on those new 54s! FWIW, I'm partial to the burlap; one of my sisters once made me a necktie out of an old burlap feedsack that I wore proudly and often! (Unfortunately, I seem to have lost it somehow. )

Gary, I was up at 4:00 AM with some recurring tooth pain! I have another root canal scheduled for Wednesday. So I decided to do some early forum browsing. I really like the #54 M&G's. They are some of the most beautiful slip joints I have seen from a factory! As far as the single blade models go I can say that the Micarta will be in the EDC rotation for sure!

Ron, a TN shield should be championed for!! I may have to keep that in mind. Gorgeous pair my friend.

Brett my friend I have already had that thought on several occasions! I might just have to design a single hit die to make one!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend.

Brett those are some beautiful knives! That 73 is absolutely gorgeous!

Mark Job Barlow amidst the Samaras

Marko's Monastery - an interesting rabbit hole Rachel and coincidence? see the weeping of Rachel fresco. I garnered a valuable teaching here

Pretty sorry example of a medium-rare steak (Applebee's) being cut by an excellent example of a Lanny's Clip (Andy Fannin).

Thanks Dean! Nice double dose of Orange Alox you have today!

 

[KBA]

Thank you Ron. Let me know when you finish that die!

Gev, Mark's Barlow is a beautiful addition to your garden my friend!!!

Thank you my friend. All I can think is may the pain hold off! It will be so!

Focus on the cuts

Thanks, Gev.

Lovely bone on that Barlow as well, almost corn cob.

Installed a new pool pump and filter today. Natural canvas micarta Mudbug on my belt, and the controversial Benchmade 319 Proper in my pocket.

Been away a few days and its mind boggling how this thread flies by

This was in the mailbox when I got back in town tonight, a Zulu Spear in black linen Micarta by Ian Vanreenen

It's 3 3/4" closed, double pinned acorn shield, a CPM 154 hollow ground blade thats solid and centered and sits flush in all three positions. This knife is a pleasure to own and use
