What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Old Hunter]

The little Case 6308 Whittler is back in my pocket for the day. OH

 

[5K Qs]

Last day of vacation. I need to make sure it goes in my checked bag before I board the plane....

Hope you had a good trip and friendly relations with TSA!

Two Craftsmen today.

Impressive pair, Jon! That Sears scout is making me break the 10th Commandment.

Well, I cheat a little by having other knives in packs and vehicles.

Sounds similar to plans I had during stop-smoking challenges in years gone by!

Fabulous canoes, Gary.

Thanks, José.

Thanks! I agree - I think Boker did a very nice job on the castle wood editions.

Thanks. I think it's a pocket worn burnt brown, or something along those lines.

Thanks for the follow-up info; it's sure a good-looking knife.

Sweet Swayback Jack!

...
You're right Gary!

Admirable companions my friend
...
That's a more attractive middle name than Arthur buddy!
...

Thanks, Jack.
To me, Arthur seems a more regal middle name than does Eclectic.

That wouldn't be the worst thing in 2020

I've really been enjoying the 29. Now we have another reason to dread the coming winter.

I'll bet that punch on the 29 could wreak havoc on the coronavirus, Mike!

Attractive shot of your stag HHB, José!

Excellent threesome Gary; your classic Keen Kutter is a very cool old slicer!
...

I appreciate your comment, JJ.

Gary, your Rough Rider stag sowbelly is the cat's meow.
...

Thanks, Dean.
I always admire the pen blade on the Texas Jack!

Ulster Jack and a Camillus Stockman

Venerable vintage pair, Steve!

I earlier posted a barely traditional Enrique Pena knife. Now I am going to the other extreme. Nothing can be more traditional than a vintage pretty bone Case Copperhead. I love totin’ this one. The ergonomics are so nice!

Splendid old Case, LT!

Compelling canoe!!

...
YES! That’s of whom I spake.
Thank you very much, my resourceful mathamagician friend!

I’d ask how you found it, but it probably involves a complicated process using slide rules and dividing by zero.

I will send a PM to the gentleman, @Ripcord 82, and make the offer of one of my TL-29s, but it looks like he hasn’t visited in about 5 months.
Thanks again, GT!

Glad that's who you were looking for, Jeff, and I'm happy to assist in a small way with your generosity!
I just searched this thread for "armed forces TL-29" and your post replying to Ripcord 82 came up, and then I could find his post easily. (No division by ANY number required! )

My brother gifted me this Opinel #8 yesterday, as he's seen me eyeballing it the last couple weeks. I'd never handled one before he showed me this one and now i see what I was missing. It's a great knife and carries much smaller than it appears! It will View attachment 1422418 be riding along with the 72 today

Congrats on the new Opinel!

I was shocked to see some Fall colors yesterday; it's only August! Well, mid-September, late September. Anyway, it put me in mind of this reddish Case.

On my daily walks, I've been crunching through plenty of fallen sycamore leaves for a month already!
Fine fall foursome in your photo!

The Camillus civilian TL-29 is a #27 electrician listed as having Cabone handles

Cabone is Delrin

Thanks for posting the informative links, Steve!

Looks like some nice old worn stag.

Something old made for Hoffritz and something new by RRView attachment 1422437

Thanks, Alan; no idea how old that Mohawk canoe is (I think I knew once, but didn't write it down ).
Love the brass dogs knife!

I don’t care what they told you that comb is for. I think it would work fine for getting ticks and cockleburrs out of Manny’s fur.View attachment 1422442


Today’s pair are a couple of Pal Blade Co WWII veterans, a TL-29, and Jack, Navy Utility.View attachment 1422445View attachment 1422446 and since I was pocketing Pals, I thought I’d put my only other Pal on my belt.View attachment 1422447

I'm not convinced Manny agrees with you on how fine the comb would work!
That Navy Utility Jack is heartwarming!
Hope you have a great visit with your family, Jeff!

...
Yankees? That's baseball, right?

Awesome... you can say that again.

Riding with Billy the Kid.

Thanks for the replies, John.
Yankees are indeed baseball; Alan joeradza can probably wax eloquent for you about their recent hot streak.

Alox of the Week for me is a black Pioneer:

Don’t do it GT! That SAK Pioneer you have will do just fine . That’s one of my favorite knives. Thanks, as always, for the kind words!

 

[JohnDF]

Thanks for reminding me, I need to hunt down another Old Timer Trapper.

Gorgeous!

 

[paulhilborn]

Nice classic pen knife and radio, Vince.


The Scout is beautiful.

What a great little pen knife.

Great picture, Jack.


Nice pairing, Ron.
I'd open up my wallet for another run of #77s.

Right? I end up making new ones all the time.

Thanks John, it's a favorite of mine, I love your Gunstock (76)? I know there's a story behind it in regards to being recovered but can't remember the details

Wright’s special large Ebony Lambsfoot (Thanks Jack) and a Northfield #77 Kingwood Yankee Jack for me today.

Nice pairing Ron

Looking good my friend

Brent Cramer LC Jr. today. Another segue into fall.

Stellar knife Gary

My HHB today

Looks like you've got the same problem as me Bill

Great picture, Jack.

Thank you GT, I suspect there are times my parents wished they'd picked 'Trouble' instead I always enjoy seeing your black Pioneer, it's a very elegant-looking SAK

Great pic Gary, who made the knife?

 

[JohnDF]

The #76 is special to me, maybe my favorite knife of all of them. On vacation, my kids went exploring a little coastal town and all their shops. They came back excited because they found me a knife store. We went down to the store and I was excited to see a small collection of GEC knives, all at retail prices. My boys helped me pick out the one we liked the best, so it's my first brick-n-mortar purchase and the first knife my boys picked out for me. It came with acrylic handle covers, so I sent it to Glenn for a re-cover in ebony and a new shield. The sword shield reminds me of my boys because (like me) they love fantasy novels. So this knife reminds me of my boys like no other can.

I have a very small collection of Spider-Man comics.

Happy to help, John!

5K Qs ~
Thanks again. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to be active on BF now, and the system will not allow a PM. Hope he’s ok and sees this thread!
I appreciate your wishes regarding the grandchilluns coming! We haven’t seen the girls since we drove out there last Halloween

Btw, the 10th covers wives and oxen, but it doesn’t mention knives, does it?

 

[r8shell]

LOL! Classic r8shell pairing

Thanks, Jack. Piano keys always harmonize.

TC Tuesday! (I have no idea what all the knife carry “days” are, but I will continue to bend them to my needs )

I love seeing that TC happy in its new home, actually getting to play outside.

Sweet Swayback Jack!

Thanks. I believe it was Case's best version.

What a great blade! Not the usual wimpy little pen

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks it’s amazing how they were able to nest in 4 blades without making it too thick
And the blades were ground down to almost a zero bevel they cut great

GEC#62 for Tuesday, just Stag.
