What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[HFinn]

I noticed that there was a little gap between spring and tang. Also the blade was nodding downward just a bit. I deduced that there is the same kind of flaw that I had in my Case slimline trapper that managed to correct. So I went forward and started tinkering and you know what?

I ruined it. The C 75 in Otter is softer than the Case stainless. I took off too much material. I know expletives are forbidden on this forum, but try to imagine my feelings.

Jer, the red knife rocks, the blue knife rolls, and the black knife represents! Those two knives are a refreshing trio!

Thank you. I've just been bisecting croissants with the black one.
I love that Utica. And the blades have matching high carbon steel!
I read something on the Utica Kutmaster site that makes me think they've abandoned the stainless for their Noyes Street made traditionals. I hope so, because then they'll stop mixing the steels in knives that are sold as one or the other. Stainless and carbon are both fine with me, but I don't like the black and bright in one knife.
In fairness, I have one recent knife that's mixed, and two that aren't.

Looks like today is going to consist of a trip to church, watching some football, and enjoying some homemade chili. My new 14 should be an acceptable companion.

There- belated knife content. (My ATT connection is disconnecting frequently.)
The AGR is in my pocket. The loom-fixer will be seen more often now that jacket-pocket weather is here.

Totin' the Cramer for the weekend.
Have a peaceful Sunday, folks!

Wow that is a beauty!

You won’t see them but 354 yards past the Victorinox Hunter is a Chocolate colored sow with two black cubs.

Gorgeous pics and knife.

Dave, your Buckshot Bone teardrop ricochets!

Love this knife Gary.

Pulled this one out of the tube today for pictures. This is one of the few I own that I don’t use.

Stunning. No wonder.

The loom-fixer is super fine Jer. Although I'm a fan of AG too.

Thanks again Glenn.

Your Scout is radiant, John! (What's your other knife you'll never rid yourself of?)

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a GEC 72 (thanks, Dee):

- GT

Thanks GT, the other knife I'll never part with is my GEC #76. Not only do I consider it GEC's best two blade Jack, it means a lot to me because it's the only GEC I've bought at a brick and mortar store and my two boys helped me pick it out. It's full of memories and emotional attachment.

And might I say it's fun when you show us one of your own GEC knives, and that #72 is a wonderful example. Also one of my favorite models that GEC produces.

Wow! You guys have really been pulling out all the stops! Beautiful knives folks

I'm carrying these two today Have a peaceful Sunday folks

Thanks for the kind words Jack. That Lambsfoot and Boys Knife you are carrying are almost as smartly dressed as you were at your friend's wedding.

I can see why. Those emerald green scales are alluring.

I have something a bit more utilitarian today. Delrin and mystery stainless are meant to take some abuse.

I'm carrying Grandpa's knife today.

Dwight, that one never ceases to amaze me! Simply Beautiful!

Thank you, Jack. I also have a little Lambsfoot with me, in case any heavy cutting needs to be done.

Have a peaceful Sunday, everyone.

That's sad news HFinn. I hope it's still usable, or is it really ruined ruined?

R8shell, shalom to you as well . . . and what a warmly beautiful Lambie you have there!

I haven't carried my modified Eureka jack in a while, so in the pocket it goes!

 

[Ratbert]

I carried my new GEC 14 all last week and I think it’s probably going to stay in my pocket for a couple more days. Good solid pull on both blades and while there is a sharp edge at the swedge, it’s not bothersome. Pretty dye job on the jigged bone.
This one’s a winner!
