What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

During the day this bunch has been around me some way or the other.

 

An instant classic cigar and a vintage classic barlow.

The Case XX is moving north to @NewBlades16 as a thanks for being a good friend and sharing a few most excellent smokes!

 

Very nice indeed Ray

Smashing Harvey

The whole world has gone crazy Dave

 

Thanks Tom. Another lovely duo you have there.

Thank you Jack.

 

Nice camping photo Jack! The piano keys make a great combo!

I’m late posting today. I took my younger brother and we did some errands today. I’ve had these two in my pocket. A Case 06247Pen from 1974 and a wee Sambar Lambsfoot! Hope everyone has a great day!

 

I do enjoy my Rough Riders, and my rotation schedule assigned me 5 of them this week!
Stockman of the Week is a RR red jigged bone "Eureka stockman" with pleasant sunk joints:


"Plain" Canoe of the Week is a RR Bolster Stripes canoe with peachseed-ish bone:


Watch Pocket Knife of the Week is a RR clip/spey serpentine pen knife with grooved buffalo horn covers and copper bolsters, pins, and liners:


Big Knife of the Week is a RR white smooth bone marlin spike:


Peanut-ish Knife of the Week is a RR half-whittler:


- GT

 

Thanks Ron, that's a really nice pairing my friend, I love the bone on that Case

 

Thank you Jack! It’s really hard to beat Case Red Bone from say about 1975 and back!

 

Today with A. Wright & Son, Lambs foot in Pere David stag and also the Portuguese "Veríssimo" as well in stag!

 

Thanks, Paul, always appreciated. Nice pair you're totin' today!

 

Lovely knives. Reminds me to get flowers for Mother's Day!

 

That is a super cool fixed blade Jack, I was admiring it when you posted it previously . And agreed, if I could I would carry a fixed blade on my belt every day (instead of a shorter fixed blade in my pocket). Our knife laws permit it, but my employer does not and you would get some strange looks from the uninitiated .

I am enjoying your fixed blade phase Stuart, and hoping it lasts a long time .

Much appreciated Harvey, thank you.

Thanks Dwight!

 

You're welcome, and thanks!

 

@Jack Black Thank you Jack.

 

Apparently it's been a while since I last checked in on this thread, and I've ended up a whopping 90 pages behind! That's too many pages to try and read, quote, etc., but I did skim through all the photos in the last 90 pages, and I'll just say that y'all have posted some beautiful knives. Except for one. You know who you are.

It's been jigged-bone Barlows for me lately. I carried the #15 TC most of the week, and the little #25 Barlow yesterday and today.



I also used the saw on this SAK (not sure of the model, I've had this one for a long time) to help make a couple rod holders for this storage crate I'll be using in the back of my fishing kayak. I used a proper saw to cut the pipe to length, but the SAK saw was handy for making the notches at the top.



At one point the SAK saw reminded me to pay attention and not get careless.

 

I had a Kabar just like this when I was a pup. I've been seeking out duplicates of my favorite knives over the years.

 

Dark day, bright knife.

 

Wow! Gary, each one of those is good looking. Not that it matters, but my favorite is the "RR clip/spey serpentine pen knife with grooved buffalo horn covers"

 

Thanks, Jack.
This pair was perfect today. While in the office, my boss asked to use my pocket knife to open some paper bundles. Out came the little Queen knife which is legal carry at work. Later on, back in my office, I had to trim off some plastic pieces on a model I was putting together. Out came the sturdy Lambsfoot to get the job done. It's nice to have choices appropriate to the job.

 

Been awhile
