What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

I’ve never carried this old Camillus with me before but it’s clearly lived a full life before I was even born. This past weekend I decided it’s time to bring it out of retirement so I flushed it out real well, gave each blade a fresh edge, and into the pocket it goes!

I did decide it’s a two-knife kinda day though, as this 77 is just tough to leave behind.

Thank you, sir! Must be "beginner's luck" as it was my first attempt at performing any such kind of modification.

First try!! 😎

You're welcome & that's awesome! I did an EZ open mod to my Micarta trapper a little while back as well. Like you, I used a rotary tool to start & then finished shaping it with files followed by sandpaper. Old pic.

Here's a factory Case EZ open, my "Orange Crush" 😉

I love a good pinchable blade, so naturally I'm drawn towards EZ opens.

I discovered I have a group of quotes that are a couple of weeks old! Let's see if I can remember why I quoted them. :rolleyes:o_O🤓


That's a beauty, Bob! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
(Part of its appeal is that it's shaped like an integral symbol from calculus! ;))


I really like the blade combo on that bi-color knife! Full-sized spear/sheepsfoot is right up my alley. :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


That Case sowbelly is special! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


I picked up some tax forms at the library a couple of weeks ago, but I also printed some forms from the IRS website. I still file paper forms via USPS, but I suppose I should at least try TurboTax or something one of these years.

I think my Mom would sometimes order Reader's Digest Condensed Books, but I don't recall reading many of them. I liked the monthly magazine, especially the "regular departments" such as "It Pays to Increase Your Word Power", "Laughter - the Best Medicine", Life In These United States", and "Humor in Uniform".


Splendid trio of knives there, Jeff! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Yeah, I think the RMDs that I have to start this year will complicate my tax life from now on, Bob. :rolleyes:



Fine pairs of farm animals, Steve & Todd! :thumbsup::cool:🤓


Handsome handles, hombre! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


You Brits are so lucky! 🤓


Beautiful brace of Barlows, Harry! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
And your puzzle is the type I like to work on. I hate the puzzles that have big chunks of space essentially almost the same color. I much prefer ones like this where there are lots of identifiable individual sections, like all the different dogs that I can work on. I can pick up a puzzle piece, search the picture on the box for a minute, and often know approximately where the piece has to go.


Thanks for the info on the handle material, Todd. :thumbsup:
I was reading a novel (The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach) earlier this week and actually came across the word "paradisiac"! 😲


Superb pair of knives with LOTS of blades from which to choose! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Big age difference, but both superb, Bob! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Breathtaking bone, sir! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Stunning pair, Barrett! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


That's a cool lockback Barlow, Mike! :cool::thumbsup::cool:
Hope you continue to come through the inevitable seasonal storms unscathed.


Those knives should make "girls' week out" very survivable! :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓


I have a Buck 371 like yours; solid, useful knife! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I always try to find something of interest for you, I will post more when back home with internet.

Last shop I went in today I found a CJ I now have 3,gave it a quick clean at the hotel which gave it more snap.

Can’t wait to get back and clean it properly. ❤️
