What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

@5K Qs

It's a picture of a hat and hunting vest and coat with 3 Lab puppies in the pockets hanging on a wall. Part of a "Nostalgic Art" series. Theres one Called "Ten point buck" that I'd like to find on the same knife as this. Of course it's a pic of a whitetail buck.

 

A little 3"closed serpentine Schrade Walden Jack, solid with no play whatsoever and scary sharp carbon blade

And to my left while picture taking there was harmony (somewhat) between House finches and Gold finches

 

It is totally servicable, not TOO soft, but it doesn’t hold a candle to their carbon steel. If you can sharpen then don’t hesitate to pick it up.

 

The new Case Barlow that came in the mail Friday. I felt like I deserved something nice for my 50th birthday.

 

Put a hunk of sunshine in the pocket today.

 

Please accept my condolences to you and yours for the loss of your Son. Your Son’s sacrifice is a debt that society can never fully repay. All we can do is be humbled, remember, and appreciate in full measure, what your Son and others like him have done for us.

 

I disagree. Schrade+ stainless is just as good as their carbon. I have used both extensively and there's no discernible difference between the two in edge retention. Sharpening is equally easy for both.

 

Carrying this one the past couple days. Easily becoming one of my favorites.

 

It is quite a shame what Memorial day has become, no words have I that can adequately do honor to those of our armed forces that paid the greatest cost. While never serving myself I have friends and family who have. When I was in the scouts our Scout Leader and Assistant Leader were both WW2 vets. Early on Memorial day our troop would gather at a large (30 acre) cemetery, we each would take a bundle of small U.S. flags, and row by row look for each veterans marker. On each we planted a flag,gave a scout's salute and proceeded on. I put a flag on my grandfather's grave. A Korean war and Vietnam war vet that I never knew. He committed suicide before I was born. Unfortunately not all combat casualties happen in combat. So to all veterans here, no matter where you served,or what country you served for i thank you for your service. To those whose lost family, my most heartfelt condolences.

 

Carried this one today as a reminder



(Yes I know it's the wrong wrapper, it was in the box)

 

When in doubt go with a good stockman

 

I like what you are saying here!

 

Haven't had the 35 Churchill out for a while, it's time

 

Work in progress, I added a aluminium back spacer to this Peasant mini. Needs sandpaper. Anyway this is a cheap user so it does not have to be fancy. The spacer is pinned (pin ends peened) and the back screw goes through the spacer, no glue because glue does not stick to this plastic. I might add another pin and remove the corby screw to get a lanyard hole?

 

This 1 today.

 

A shame about the ballgame Vince, but that's a great combination Classy slip for your Navaja

I probably have one or two Vince

Very sorry for your loss Jeff

Beautiful knife, and great pics Paul

Morning folks Another wet Bank Holiday Monday here

 

Your EO sheepsfoot scout is admirable, John!

I'm glad you had such an enjoyable family vacation, Ron. That 73 is a black beauty!

Your classic navaja has made you quite a swashbuckler, Vince!

Dazzling photo of your stag lambsfoot, Harvey! Your pics remind me of how many details my defective old eyes miss!

Congrats on the new ride; excellent knife choice for the maiden voyage!

Flawless 85, @Travman , but that doll is creepy!

What a grand pair of lambsfoot knives, Senhor Pinto!! Are you left-handed?

Handsome handle and patina on your Opinel, Dany!

Immaculate pair of lambsfoots, Jack! They must make you feel like a proud papa.

That one must give you a lot of joy, Alan; what a jewel!

That Cramer is en fuego, Gary!

I admire your practicality, Jeff!

Total knockout, Steve!

Lovely example, Dean; congrats!

If you want to cut stuff, that one's majestically exciting, Barrett!

Noteworthy stag pair X 2, José!

Opulent Opinel and exemplary Explorer, Jer!

Thanks for the reminder of proper priorities, Jeff, from someone who knows the cost.

Paradigmatic mini trapper, John; congrats!

Thanks for the comments, Vince and Harvey. Vince, I'm impressed that you can remember my random musings about "improved" mini trappers! So many of our preferences about knives are just matters of personal taste.

Thanks for the info!

As you might expect, I find that knife to be of highest quality, Dean!!

Good advice, Ron; deleting emails, then trying to read them just hasn't been working out for me!
What a ravishing red/black combo to welcome you home!

Thanks Gary, I'm not a southpaw, but as I always open the knives with my left hand I bought to try!
And I'm enjoying the experience!

 

Many thanks Gary...

 

Thanks for the kind words my friend
