What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

Those are great little knives! At one time I had two but they are gone now.

 

So...I hear GEC is planning an event at the factory. This will be before the 2021 Rendezvous. Anybody hear about this?

 

Happy birthday, @Pt-Luso!

They make the rounds, don't they? I know they have a taste for Bokers, especially. It's alright, though. I can often get a bargain on a nice old knife that's missing the shield. I hope to get some time to tinker this weekend, as I have plans for that one.

Full Disclosure: it was a fake news staged photo. That 'piller was just walking along peacefully, when I plonked the knife down in his path for the shot.

Speaking of tinkering this weekend, I may need oil up the Lambsfoots for a new picture of the whole flock.

For today, I'm carrying a Blue SAK (farmer? I can never remember the model names) and an old W.H.Morley.

 

Those Krack-a-Jack #76's are beyond amazing,
my absolute favorite pocket knife of all time.
Some day I will have one of my own.!!!

 

Wondering what my sowbelly stockman is this week? Let me show you - it's a Rough Rider carbon steel sowbelly:


Curious about what my "regular" stockman is this week? It's actually somewhat irregular, being a Case humpback stockman with a spear main (thanks, Mike):


Are you dying to know what economy canoe I have this week? Wait for it ... the ever-popular Marbles with "damascus etch" blades and stag bone covers:


Itching to see my premium canoe this week? Feast your eyes on this stag Mohawk canoe from AG Russell by way of Germany:


- GT

 

Like em all Gary but that Mohawk Canoe floats above the falls

 

Fine selection GT

Nice turn of phrase Paul

 

Thanks Jack, I have to up my game when entering into Gary's world of wordsmithing

Have a great weekend my friend

 

Beautiful Stockman, GT.

 

Could be frost tonight.

 

Thanks, Bruce! I agree~ the sandpaper scratches don’t make it less useful.
Wishing you well with the cataract removals!

Hey don’t be throwing around the F word around here!
I have a bed replanted in lettuce, spinach, and arugula that’s only 2” high.
As long as that F holds off, I can get a second cool weather harvest.

I enjoy seeing your harvest and canning efforts, Dave. Last Sat I used up the last of my quart mason jars on another batch of mango salsa.

 

I remember seeing that one before! Without a doubt the greatest shield of all time! Great knife!

 

Today it is a new addition to my Opinel collection. A number 8 with an olive wood handle. Sharpened and stropped right after unboxing. I usually prefer the carbon blades, but I really wanted this olive wood which was only in stock in stainless.

 

My beloved Wrattler is not alone today, courtesy of a generous trade with @mb>. Thanks Mark, I love it! Here with the Woottler? The Bois d'ittler? Well, maybe I'll have to work on the nickname some more...

 

Still carrying this one. I love it!

 

Took me a while to catch up with this thread. Moving fast!

That is gorgeous!

For today:


And:


Got some great news today: my order from Fontenille Pataud shipped! It is a Thiers Natural (11.5 cm). Can't wait!

 

293Y today. Have a wonderful Friday!

 

What on earth is that pattern called? I love it. Looks like it's great at hiding the points of blades.

 

Thanks, Gary!
