What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Fodderwing]

Fodderwing . Both are gorgeous. But that lambs foot. Wow.

Thank you.

I love seeing Dave's knife again, Dwight. You've got a fantastic knife and a great picture of it.

Thanks Stuart! That's a regal pair of Queens in winter bottom dress.

You're a lucky knife-nut, Dwight

Aye matey!

 

[Old Engineer]

Harry, I thought all of your TEWs were lambfoots! Is that a new addition, or am I off base?
Beautiful color and jigging!

It is not a new one and you have had it in your hands my friend .
As of right now I have a total of 6 TEW's : 2 barlows made in 2014 // 1 Pretty Old Sheepfoot // 1 Lambfoot made in late 2016 // 2 Pretty Old Lambfoot . This Old Sheepfoot is one very solid knife .

[RayseM]

Don Pinemoon , did you bore the lanyard hole in that 44? Where you scared doing it?
Nice looking knife.

Nice one, Vince


And another beauty


Fantastic photo

The 44 always puts me in my happy place

44 by D P, on Flickr

That’s a sweet 44.

That’s an astute observation about it looking like an RB. That’s exactly what I thought.

 

[kai76]

That made my day, Nick, even though I'm a day behind.

Glad it did! Nice winter bottom Queen’s you and SteveC are toting today. One of my first traditional knives was a Queen winter bottom jack but I can’t remember where I kept it. Gonna have to some digging. Had this boy’s knife with me at the beach today.

I love all old boy’s knives, but *that’s* a real beauty.

 

[kai76]

Thank you! I appreciate the nice comment. Frailer

Yep, here 'tis:

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I simply could not remember his name.
Laughing so hard I about fell out of bed. Woke up Serious Fleschwund!

Harry

Of course!
I think at that time I was a little confused when it came to telling lambs from sheep. I thought lambs were sheep with a lot of sharpening wear.

 

[JJ Cahill]

My trusty old Remington BSA and a hard working Bullnose should make a good pair for today

 

[5K Qs]

...
These two today!

A-1 pair, Ron, especially that redbone IMHO!

Just laying around the house and taking it easy today on a Day That Ends In A " Y " .
Lots of good stuff here ....

Harry

Couple of acclaimed stag folders, Harry!
Your bolded comment reminded me of a 60-year-old hit song:

Actually, it's usually hotter in San Antonio. My weather app indicates it's 94 now (5:00 pm) here in Corpus Christi, but it's 98 in San Antonio. It's also drier and less windy in SA. Hey, but I'm used to it! I really wouldn't want to live anywhere but Texas.

I like summer, but temps over 90 get to me. The statement I bolded sounds like "whistling past the graveyard".

Thanks, I'm really loving it so far.
It's not, but that's kind of what they want to convey. ( It is probably about 50% of the weight though ).

If the length, width, and height of the 55 are all about 80% of the 110, the 55's weight would come out about half that of the 110.

...
Thank you, Gary. It is always good to see your ubiquitous knife quartet.

Thanks, Dean.

5K Qs
You're welcome. The wire jacks qualify as minimalism to the extreme.

Does the "flex" of the bent wire function as a back spring?

Thank you GT. The background is an extreme closeup portion of a Traffic Signals cover, earlier in the day when it was sunnier.
...

Thanks for the identification, Harvey; very cool!

Danke, GT, ja, du brauchst ein Matrosenmesser.

For now, I'll have to stay anchored with this:

or one of these:

Good Morning All
First day of Summer Vacation

Have a superb summer, John; milk it for all it's worth! Admirable rosewood lambsfoot!

Thanks GT, unfortunately that trio ran out of luck so time for a new selection. Nice carries this week, I always enjoy seeing the "Math Knife"
...
My final attempt to influence the St. Louis Blues luck by carrying a trio of Blues colored knives. A full sized Sodbuster, a Sodbuster Jr, and a custom by forum member Shaerk.

Thanks, Tom. The Blues winning at home would have been awesome. I like this final trio! 2 sodbusters give it some real Midwest mojo IMHO.

Some nice warm amber bone to keep me company since the wife left for 4 days this morning. I do have the 12, 7 and 2 year old to keep me on my toes. I hope I can keep them alive that long by myself!

Best wishes for the 4-day survival challenge!

Don't know what it is, but I know that I like the round bolsters, sunk joints, beautiful bone, and tasteful shield! Admirable stockman, Nick!

Yes my collecting tragedy would be best described as "consistently chaotic con carne"

Thank you kind sir.

I like it. Euclid and company.

Have a great week all.View attachment 1142394

You definitely have the meat. Dwight!
Aristocratic Queen Barlow!

...

Congrats on the adorable Northwoods toothpick, Harvey!

A teardrop for Monday.

Arresting knife and photo, Dean! You probably have a teardrop for each day of the week.

This little beauty showed up today. It started life as a Radio Jack, then had the cap lifter deleted (sacrilege to some of you, I'm sure) , and now it's my perfect #15. Always wanted a single blade #15 with end caps and a shield. In the pocket it goes... I'd like to thank @jsdistin for thinking of me and giving me a killer deal on it.

I can see why you'd find that one advantageous, John; congrats!

Frontier and re-dyed Rough Rider

You hold a pair of aces, David; artistic dye job on that checkered bone!

Today with GEC # 73 stag and stainless steel.

Alluring golden stag, José!

The antique Böker and auspicious antler exhibit awesome color and texture!

Hmmmm... I only have one stockman, I may have to do something about that.

Sowbelly stock knives are quite amazing, John - try it, you'll like it!

That's an august medium stockman, Vince! Is it new to you?

[5K Qs]

Picked up this old Case XX last week that was advertised as a 1940-1964 Dogleg Jack. It's got some obvious wear and staining but I love the Gator Snap and Jigged Bone on this old boy.

Congrats on the awe-inspiring ancient knife, Trevor! (What's the little wood knife??)

For Tuesday:

Victorinox Tinker (from GAW by @JTB_5). Thanks, Joshua.

Astonishing the way this one always makes me smile, Vince!

"Remington" canoe (no model number, 1933 to 1935 tang stamp) possibly made by Camillus, and an Ulster #10 Barlow.

Congrats on the canoe! Sounds interesting. Can you find an example online and provide a link?

Buck 377? Very intriguing knife!!

I have been "hanging around" this excellent thread for several months now and greatly enjoy the wide array of appetizing traditional folders, from old to new! I thought I'd join in

Here's a couple I have today that represent 2 of my favorite patterns:
Camillus "short line" BSA scout and a CK modern Barlow:

Welcome to The Porch! That's a couple of knives with a ton of variety!

Astounding brace of knives, Dwight!

A BSA whittler and the closest SAK to a whittler that I have...View attachment 1142896

Power couple, Jeff!

SteveC inspired me with his post of a Queen model 10 heavy duty jack today so I'm totin' a similar model 10, also from 1961-1971, and raising him a model 15 half congress from 1958-1960:

- Stuart

Stuart, you got me beat

ALL RIGHT! Steve and Stuart in a Queen winterbottom throw-down showdown!!
Don't give up yet, Steve! You can take him!!

Orange you glad it's Tuesday?

Citrussy!!

I’m just totin this one today! Hope everyone has a great day!

A one-knife day is an unusual event for you, Ron! You chose a good one to go solo!

...
Handsome and handy, GT. That's the one.
...
- Stuart

Thanks, Stuart. Alox is never not appropriate.

Enjoyed the two ALOX SAK carries for the last week, however I was ready this morning to get back to my usual EDC, Medium Stockman. OH

I bet you'll be back to Alox before long, OH!

Mixing it up a bit today with this Boy’s Knife.

Sublime jack, Dave!!

Carried this one to the YMCA and then coffee : My Pickle Knife which is 1 of 12
...

...
Then changed it out for this to work in the afternoon :

Harry

Both of your knives have very appealing color, Harry!

- GT

 

[Old Hunter]

I didn’t store them away GT, they’re laying on my desk, so they’ll be back in my pocket soon. Number one carry since 1973 for me is a Stockman, I don’t see that ever changing, but the ALOX has earned a place in my carry rotation. OH

Glad it did! Nice winter bottom Queen’s you and SteveC are toting today. One of my first traditional knives was a Queen winter bottom jack but I can’t remember where I kept it. Gonna have to some digging. Had this boy’s knife with me at the beach today.

NICE! OH

[Pinemoon]

Don Pinemoon , did you bore the lanyard hole in that 44? Where you scared doing it?
Nice looking knife.

Ray

Guilty as charged, Sir. I did bore the hole.
Yes, I was very nervous! That was my first "nice" knife I tried it on. I'm getting better with practice. Using a solid carbide bit is key.

I'm glad I drilled it; I'm carrying it more now
It's becoming one of my favorites.

That’s a sweet 44.

That’s an astute observation about it looking like an RB. That’s exactly what I thought.

Thanks... Yeah, nothing like a little banana with your breakfast

Have a superb summer, John; milk it for all it's worth!

I will try, GT. The sad part is that I always start missing work about two weeks in to my vacation.

Sowbelly stock knives are quite amazing, John - try it, you'll like it!

It's on my list to try.
