What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JJ Cahill]

“Hard work users” captures the...essence of my collection. And learning to love, not the bomb, but what I already have instead of looking to get more, sure saves me money.
I love a well used, but well cared for knife ~ your old, and rare, Wenger Soldier, for example.
I also love seeing all of the vintage knives that look like they belong in a glass display case, being in pristine, unused condition (like many of yours!), as well as the new and collectables that the members here show in this thread.

I greatly appreciate seeing knifes well used and well cared for, like yours! Today is a perfect example as I can see your Kabar jack is used and very well cared for, sporting a magnificent cutting edge!!!
My daily car carry is very much similar to your daily totes, only not even close in the overall "cool factor."

Still CFing CEing this one today.

Still great to look at!

Good knives and good boots. Two of life's finer pleasures. GEC #66 Calf Roper.

That's a hard combo to beat; those covers look amazing!

JJ Cahill - Thank you JJ. Love those two vintage cream puffs.

Thanks Harvey! Your knife not only looks superb, it's making me hungry!!!

Barlow Day

I recall as a youngster that "keen" was the old "cool"; your Barlow is both keen and cool!

Schrade walden 856.

Hard to beat a tough old Schrade beauty!!!

Pocketed a neglected favorite today. Paired with a blade that needs some work to do.

Great pair of ebony beauties; my favorite knife wood!!!

But here are the knives from this week that I haven't posted yet:

Great choices and images Gary!!! Your Jack Black "Cracker Jack" really brings back some sweet memories!!!

You're very kind, JJ, but gotta say these are very cool knives. Of course, I highly commend your choice of the TL-29, but curious about that wood handled sodbuster type knife. Who made it? It looks great.

Quite an assemblage there, Harry! Happily, I've had the pleasure to fondle some of those.

Since the knives you've chosen for show 'n tell filled that knife roll, I hope you have another for the new ones that follow you home!
Have a great time at the rendezvous, and please give my best to the Mrs. I hope you treat her to a nice dinner out for putting up with ya!

Carried this today, while I trimmed up some trees on my property...Then it followed me to football practice. I have a good patina going on the bolster.

Thanks Jeff! The sodbuster frame is a knife I saw on a YouTube show, made by BudK in 1095 China steel. It is the Bushmaster Bushcraft field folder model and was around $10. It's a slicing madman, really surprising me!!!

JJ Cahill Thank you kindly. I’m feasting my eyes on those 3 beauties, JJ.

For today's pocket tote I'm going with two from opposite ends of the planet; a German Puma stag hunter I got in the early '80s and a Japanese Eagle (Parker?) Barlow I recently acquired as I liked the bone cover and step bolster (the blades came "chisel ground" but I set the apex straight!)

That looks like a good solid worker & I like the patina. I assumed the bolsters would be nickel, but if it's getting a patina like that, do you think it's steel?
