What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

On-topic: I continue to carry the #68 Pony Jack pictured herein every day.



My apologies for the delay, but here I am (have I mentioned recently how much I love the new software feature that sends alerts when one has been quoted? I would have missed this otherwise, as this thread zoops by).

Context, late 1800s Railyard Chest:

(As first seen in a friend's store)

At home in the glare:

Discovered inside a drawer by the shop owners, and generously included with the chest, an exquisite gilt-edged, leather-bound notepad, 4 1/4" x 2 3/8":

As seen previously, its first entry is from 1903, in fountain pen script:

This is the only page scribed such, but after a gap of around 3 years someone else (possibly EARL?!) evidently used it as more of a grab-and-go, penciled-in note pad, which is equally endearing. Many (most?) of the pages are still blank, but there are notes throughout, seldom on consecutive pages, including maintenance records, tallies, quick measurments/specs, etc.-- and a List that's my favorite of all (last)!

What wonderful history, Sarah! That notebook, with all the scriblings in it, is just icing on the cake! I have a handmade tool chest that looks to be similar size to yours. Nowhere near as old, and it sure takes up a lot of space in my shop, but I just had to have it. Thanks for sharing all the pics!

And now for something completely different. I pulled this bullet end jack out of the archives today. It literally begged me to be let out of its tube and carried. I’d forgotten what a handle little knife this is. It deserves far more pocket time than it gets.

Hectic morning so far, but I managed to snap a shot and then toss these into my pockets before heading out the door for the day.

Much appreciated Dean !! You can't help but look dapper dressed in that The president is a gem

Thanks, Gev! If you saw me in my jeans, you might retract that "dapper" description though. The Presidential is truly a gem though - very comfortable in hand and pocket.

No worries P, worth the wait. I enjoyed seeing the pages, esp. the one dated June 10/06 (as in 1906).

The box is intriguing. The lid appears to have vents, yet from the inside appears solid. Wonder what that's about.

I wonder to!

Maybe just slots to put drill pieces in or something similar?

Just got this old Camillus and is riding my pocket today

I love this shot! Great looking well-loved ebony on that 15.

Well that's just a looker right there my friend see if this looks familiar? I'm in the minimalist camp today while at home rehabing after knee surgery. A little back story here.

Both hamsco and I expressed interest in this wee Lil Carver. hamsco claimed first but sent me a pm saying if it didn't work out he'd let me know. Sure enough a pm came saying it was available at what he paid for it. Well it arrived yesterday and although a bit groggy after surgery I didn't notice the entire contents in the box. The Carver of course was in the box and I did happen to notice the cool Kodak film tin I pm'd back thanking hamsco for the tin and he mentioned a Zippo lighter was also included!!! I collect tins and lighters so the additional gifts amazed me I rushed out to my garage and in the box was an early model pristine lighter. Turns out the lighter is from his family's business!!! Very neat...THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!

With the gifts hamsco included

Scant picture I'm afraid due to lack of daylight. But I'm really enthusiastic about this Cougar Claw Churchill that arrived today

Thanks, Will

Your Welcome. I think that those three make a good picture.

Alan, your #73 is about as good as it gets: great color and jigging, barehead, and the long pull centered below the swedge. I'm sorry I missed that one when new, it's a beaut.
