What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[AnW]

I have mood swings with this knife. I won't carry it for months at a time, then I'll carry it every day for a week. Can't explain it, but I grabbed it from the pile this morning ...

I think we all do that to some extent, but "mood swings" sounds like a mental condition. I prefer something like freedom of choice.

TGIF! Have a good one!

Always a thrill to see you post that glamorous knife, Gary!

Thanks GT! Right back at you

Thanks, Tom. That brilliant blue Farmer is a real eye-opener!

Congrats on yet another striking pair of vintage Sheffield finds, Harvey!

Superb summer shot of your stainless stag 73, José!

You have a good-looking group of Stockman and Canoe knives this week, Gary. I particularly like the Cracked Ice Sowbelly.

My Millennial Buck 301 stockman has been finding its way into my pocket more frequently lately.

Your stockman and your pile of vintage dimes adds up to more than two Bucks, Dean!

Hey, that's an A-1 Böker USA tip-bolstered pen knife; congrats!! Bone covers, or synthetic?

That canittler is most excellent, Gary.

Another beautiful selection of your knives, Gary.

Three good 'uns Gary First time I recall seeing a RR Folding Hunter in carbon

Love the Bluegrass Barlow !

That coping blade is a great addition.

Gorgeous!

Thanks, Dean & José & Jack & Steve & Jer & Harvey. I've had the carbon steel RR for about a year; I'm very pleased with the 3 patterns I have from RR's carbon steel series. The RR canittlers are fine little knives; I think I currently have two of them, and am often tempted to get another.

Terrific trio of workers, Jeff!

Wish Case would make some more of these in some other covers...

That's a nice mini trapper!

Dazzling dark duo, Joshua; congrats on the new French knife!

Although I'm not going shooting today, I thought toting this Weidmannsheil folder with 16 and 12 gauge shell pullers on the bolster (to pull stuck shotgun shells from the breech end) might be handy if I come across an orphan bottle of wine.

What a cool specialized knife, Stuart!

Enjoying a cigar with a cup of coffee and an old canoe. Not a bad way to begin the weekend. I hope all of you have a Happy Father’s Day tomorrow!

I used to tell middle school students that our classroom was based on "the 3 Cs": Cleanliness, Courtesy, and Common Sense. But LT, you have a mighty fine set of "3 Cs" posted there: Canoe, Cigar, and Coffee!

Daughter took me out for a bit of Father’s Day sushi. As it was a special occasion there was only one knife I would be carrying. 64-69 Case 087 that my daughter gave me for Xmas several years ago. At the restaurant she grinned and asked what knife I was carrying. I pulled this out to show her and asked what she was carrying...View attachment 1362830

Great to see that father/daughter pair again, Clay!

I'm going with a pair of Cases for Sunday.

Captivating pair of Cases, JJ!

Nice pairing buddy

Thank you, Jack.

Love that little white Jack, Rachel.

Lil Barlow for Monday.

Have a great one!

 

[5K Qs]

Thank you, but which one?

Oops!
The stag knife mesmerized me so much that I didn't even notice the coin knife, Alan.
The sea shell shield always catches my attention because I'm forever grateful for a scholarship I got from Shell Oil that helped me pay for college half a century ago.

I knew that, just teasing you.
I was lucky enough to graduate from Queens College which is part of the C.U.N.Y. which cost me a whopping $67.25 a semester.

Long time no see.

Thanks guys! It needs an outing now and then!

My Laguiole is finding its way into my pocket more and more often. It just seems to suit my daily knife needs so well, and is a pleasure to use and carry. They label it as small, but at 3.5" it's just right for my pocket, and does all I need it to do most days.

It shares many of the characteristics of my 4" Lloyd shadow trapper that is still numero uno as my EDC choice.

I guess I favor slim single clip blade knives.

Hey, that's an A-1 Böker USA tip-bolstered pen knife; congrats!! Bone covers, or synthetic?

Bone for sure.

This knife has some features I normally dont like but just seemed okay on this knife, like the tip bolsters or the swedge on the spear blade.
I can't say I'm growing to like these features, but I do like this knife enough to look past them.

 

[mbkr]

I have other knives I usually carry when wearing shorts. Today, for some reason, I pocketed this single blade Case Sowbelly. Its not that small, but its nice and slim. Carries really well.

My trio for today, received the Buck 501 for Father’s Day from my son, he picked it up at a yard sale and he said it was in pretty rough shape, sent it to Buck for a SPA treatment. It went right into my pocket, he said they did a really nice job with the cleaning and sharpening.
