What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[glennbad]

@pertinux As has been mentioned, it looks as if that chest originally had a cover or a lid that could be opened, exposing those slots. Neat mystery!

It is almost too dark in the morning to take a picture. I may have to switch to afternoon pictures. This leaf was in the same place I left it yesterday.

Two today. Much work to be done.

Nice.
That Kalevala sheath looks like it might be relatively easy to make. (I mean the upper one, if I got the name wrong.) But I like the compactness of the sewn-up-the-back ones.

Kalevala is a famous Finnish poem.

That style of sheath is:

Kalanpyrstötuppi / kalatuppi.

Fish Tail Sheath / Fish Sheath.

That's a beautiful knife Travman . I'm super into the whittlers patterns, got a TV humpback on the way. And I am enjoying seeing what else is out there. More info on that Case please

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

Thank you! Unfortunately I cannot take credit for the well-loved state of the ebony, though I most certainly appreciate it. It is one heck of a user, thanks again @SadSappySucker !

This is a fantastic picture! I love the clean, elegant lines and the subtle awesomeness this knife presents. A terrific beauty!

Pony Jack, my first knife in ebony and I'm really liking it!!!

Those little Pony Jacks are something else, I've enjoyed seeing @pertinux's every time she posts it and I particularly enjoyed reading her thoughts on the pattern as well. I am looking forward to seeing more of yours in the not so distant future!

Nice pairing Dylan Red and black are the colours of Sheffield Amateur Football Club, the oldest (soccer) football club in the world

Thanks, Jack! I'd like to say that the color coordination was more than just a coincidence but sadly not. However, red and black have become two of my favorite colors when it comes to handle materials on knives so I will say that the Sheffield Amateur Football Club has impeccable taste! It is always good to hear the rich history that Sheffield is in possession of. Excellent pair of knives today, by the way.

Fettlin' these two...

That TC checks a lot of boxes for me. Spear point? Check! Long Pull? Check! Dark wood (Walnut?)? Double Check!! Fantastic knife!

Oh, I do like that Case, what a handsome looking knife!


I am carrying these two again today.

I keep coming back to this one. It rarely leaves my pocket anymore.

I remember you mentioning your penchant for black and red before my friend Thanks for the compliment, those two look good together too

I am carrying these two again today.

Pàdruig ... that is a beautiful pair... I particularly like the one on the left... which model is that one?

Nice! I love to see some of those unique oldies getting pocket time.

 

[Ironbut]

This one just showed up in my mailbox today & it's going to be a user.

 

[Bugdoc]

You're welcome! I'm really, really wowed by this beat up ol' chest, all the history of actual hard use wri ittten right into it. It looks to have had at least two different sets of hinges, and possibly 3-4 locks over the course of its active life.

Roughly 32" x 15" x 16" high (on metal casters):

The top sports hand-routed channels of what looks to be very specifically designated lengths.

The purveyors guessed that the slots were used to hold some kind of rack atop, but I don't think that's it-- although if you note the more distressed edges of the lid vs. the center area in the first picture above, it does look like something sat atop it for a good amount of time?

"Drill bits" may be the thing; I have compiled a series of images to send to a railway historian (friend of a friend) for further input.

I can't wait to hear his musings, regarding the chest, notepad entries, etc.!



We're still just so glad you learned to post pictures at all, yea these many years later. Remember when you used to have to try and describe your knives?! "Mine's green."



There ya go.

~ P.

Yes, I had thought bits too, and that may in fact be the answer. But, it is not satisfying, because if you open the lid to grab another tool, what falls off? The bits. Hope your friends can shed some light.

I think you will enjoy that Ironbut . I had to bump my 35 micarta out of the pocket today for Wooden Wednesday. I suppose I should get an Ebony example....

Thanks. That'll teach me to trust a non-member vendor for nomenclature.
