What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[5K Qs]

When I did my weekly knife exchange this morning, I noticed that I'm on my last of 45 weeks in the current rotation schedule. So I'll have to set up my next one this week, adding in all the knives I've acquired since I made the last schedule.

My Alox knife for this week is a Cadet II (thanks, Ken):


non-Alox SAK this week is my Champion:


non-SAK bailed knife this week is a Marbles Workman trapper:

Just because it's Monday doesn't mean one can't tote some color.

Boy. Rare that acrylics give me the “wants”, but those sure do. Gorgeous.

Used the Buck to poke a suspect spot near the back threshold, it went right through the floor. Took up the threshold,and found something to add to a ever growing list with our latest job

On Sunday I like to carry an attractive knife (well, I think it is!).

It is, that’s one of my favorite patterns as well.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thanks for your opinions, JJ; I appreciate your replies.

Most certainly Gary!!! Btw, my brother is also a Prof in your general area; Ann Arbor, MI
You certainly have your bases covered with that outstanding trio!

Ravishing bone on your Robeson pair, JJ! Is the jack a standard teardrop/swell end pattern, or does its width "step down" in the middle, like a coke bottle?

Thank you!!! The Robeson jack is a Pocket Eze version of what appears to be a gunstock pattern; here's a closed shot:

That must be some complicated schedule! But an interesting exercise.

Grabbed the Bladeforums Buck when I got home from work...

Wife (Rose) set this picture up with two of her favorite traditionals.

And the contrast between the clean simple white bone and this handle material just begged to be captured and shared.

 

[cigarrodog]

Well Stuart those two certainly brightened up my day!


Harvey that is an excellent photo of that Peachseed TC my friend!

Thank you Ron.

Beautiful Kutmaster, Stuart!

Thanks, Jeff.

Very cool Stuart, it looks like an outstanding pair for a nice afternoon of imbibing and chatting with old pals!

It was, JJ. Though they do indulge my "knife shows".

Today I'll be toting two stag covered traditional knives from Germany; a Bulldog Brand stock knife and a Puma hunter, both from the last century.

Devil, get thee behind me!!

Old Timer Old PAL

They and that photo are very special, Steve. Thanks for sharing. Please show it again.

Bodacious surf & turf, Alan.

The pair AND the picture are stunning!! Dang, they are NICE.

I’m keen to know what knives you bought. Nice pair you’re toting today, especially like that Sheffield folder!

Thanks, Nick. I'm afraid that my new knives will fairly prosaic, as they should be.

D Duckdog - Thank you Stuart. Your folder and fixed blade is perfect.

Thx, Harvey. That pair really worked out well.

Looks like a great pair for show-and-tell with the Bottle Tips & Loose Lips Club!

My Lambsfoot of the Week is Man Jack, a stag senator I won in a GAW by a BF member from Manchester, England:

My guys loved the fixed blade and it was passed around more than I expected (I did get it back). The Man Jack is very special, and you are lucky for that.

Thanks again!!! You too have quite an exceptional pair of stag bearing beauties; a fixed blade with a traditional folder is a perfect combination!

I felt like a couple from Robeson for my totes today; a rock solid scout from the 1911-20 period and an ultra keen edged jack from the 1922-39 era.

Thank you, JJ, for the nice comment. That can opener on your scout is pretty special.

Very sea-worthy knives, Alan. Kudos!!

Two outstanding knives my friend!

Thanks, Ron, but they shy away from exposure to any activities that draw crowds.

Bought this one this morning on the way to do a last minute job. Went into the pocket before I was 10 feet from the counter.

Nice find and capture, David, Keep it up!

Mighty fine looking pair there Duckdog, perfect for a Sunday.

Thank you. It felt "right".

Little Red Corv Cadet the last couple days.

Just because it's Monday doesn't mean one can't tote some color.

Wonderfully colorful covers; quite the outstanding pair of "near twins!!!"

It was, JJ. Though they do indulge my "knife shows".

Devil, get thee behind me!!

Stuart, you went from a nice outing with your pals to having Biblical level temptation; thanks for the great comment!

Thank you, JJ, for the nice comment. That can opener on your scout is pretty special.

Certainly my friend; that ancient opener is great for boxes!

Today I saw a "tube" video on a cool old Remington which created an immediate urge to tote two of my favorite Remingtons for Tuesday, a scout and a jack.
