What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Heavy overcast, but warm at 51F. I got hit by a couple of small rain drops while I was out retrieving the mail and taking knife pics. Didn't amount to anything, but we're supposed to get showers tonight and tomorrow, and we sure could use the rain. No white Christmas this year 🌧️
I took a bunch of pics with a pretty Christmas card. It has glitter on it, and I guess the lighting was wrong for it, because the glitter just looked weird in the pics :oops:
Knives looked ok :thumbsup:

When we lived in the Ozarks, my wife always made me stop when she saw a patch of bittersweer bearing fall berries. She’d jump out and cut some for decorating. Up here, i planted some about thirty yesrs ago. This was the entrance to my original garden, and I built a big log arbor lashed together with grape vines leading into the gate for the bittersweet to grow over, which it did. The arbor rotted and fell down eventually, but the bittersweet lives on.

Good Christmas present for my Mom, maybe.
I like the strong action and loud snaps on these 53’s.

Yep. My wife rolled her eyes at my repeated
“Listen! KACHING!”
Thanks, sir!

That rope knife may never be tasked with cutting any more rope but it spreads miracle whip like nobody's business!
Mine only works with Duke’s Real Mayonnaise.
Thanks! I'm always on the look out for a Kastor brand tang stamp.

"Wild Canadian Rye" sounds like something I'd like to drink to warm up, while looking at pictures of your sunshiney knives, Jeff! 😄
Well, Rachel, even though I don’t drink, I am the cause of several other people’s drinking!
It’s been awhile since I told this, so I’ll tell it again… Rachel sent me that 881Y Stockman as a gift after my son died. She knew my old 293Y Trapper needed a worthy coordinated companion.
I bought the 293 new back in high school in the early ‘70s. I carried it everyday in high school and college.

Almost done with jobs for the year 😅
It’s all in the phrasing, Fred.
In my case, I’m running out of year first.

Spent a little time this afternoon finishing my latest walking stick except for applying the polyurethane . I did put some brown stain on it , but it hardly absorbed any . The wood is from one of our felled Hickories .

Early walk in a restored tall grass prairie by the Kishwaukee River. Now, I need to finish drinking my pre-scope prep on the way home. Timing is everything😎View attachment 2420125View attachment 2420126
Wenger Handyman in case anything has to be MacGuyvered, and my favorite user out of my small group of Schrade Serpentine Jacks, my Schrade Walden 294. I’m happy with the delrin because I don’t worry about breaking it.
Two fine looking cutting instruments you have there. Whereabouts along the Kish? I've spent some time paddling, biking, and just plain wandering the banks of both the Kish, and the South Branch Kish before I moved to Quincy.
 
Good Morning Porchsters,

Holidays are finally here, I have not carried or used this knife to date, its one of the worst cases of knife sharpening abuse I have seen so far, I am going to carry it today and use it while in my shed, see if I can revive its spirit. How was it possible to mistreat such a rare bird. Ironically they also manufactured straight razors.

Thought it is a 14.
I carried mine for over a year, then swapped in a Huntsman (for the saw and multi purpose package hook, both of which get used once on a while.) when I got it a few months ago.
Both are very capable knives/multi tools. I could probably "get by" with just a SAK ... but what fun would that be? 🤔🤨😁
Yes, what fun would that be?
