What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

IMG_0252.JPG

I consider this a traditional pattern, but would this be considered a traditinal knife? Benchmade Proper. Modern materials, but slip joint gentleman's knife. I have seen other traditional patterns with modern materials posted here. Just would like to hear your thoughts.

Two great choices for today Jack. That big lambsfoot blade along with your TC spear blade make a versatile pairing! Have a good one my friend! :) :thumbsup:

Two stunning knives, Ron! I’ll be up in your neck of the woods next week. I’ll be glad to take those off your hands!;)
 
Oh, the memories. Not today but opening day of the Tennessee deer season in 2018. The distraction of taking this picture with my then new cell phone cost me a buck of a lifetime. Just as I took the picture I caught movement out of the corner of my eye near the bottom of the hollow I was watching....Jut in time to see a very large buck sneaking away with head held low. It looked like he was pushing a tree through the brush with his head, a very large rack. I never saw him again. The upside is I do have the picture of my knife!IMG_0024.jpg

I have carried this one every day since I got it and today was no different . Today we finished planting our small raised garden even though the Temp. got up to 91 F by 5 P.M. One thing I noticed about this knife was as I carry it in a front pocket , it just positions the Inside of the Curve against the leg . The knife is 4 & 1/2 closed and the handle thickness ranges from 3/4 to 1 " across the Stag .

Yeah...the 9pm slowdown is my signal to take a break and go wash dishes and feed the cat.

Now that I have a TC barlow, I can see why they are so popular. Yours is a beauty wrapped in Ebony.

I consider those Benchmade Propers to be a "Modern-ized Traditional".
They don't seem to break any of the posting rules as we see them, and others like them, posted a lot.
Torx screw construction continues to be a Hot Button issue on this forum, but you're safe posting them.
