What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[AnW]

The wedding pair...the Indian River Jack is phenomenal! Don't mind the fingerprints...

Two awesome knives! Enjoy the wedding.

It's laughingly said that there are more deer in town than in the forest as the deer know there's no hunting allowed in town.

No laughing matter from where I guffaw. This must change.

It was cool enough for jeans today, so I carried the big Kabar. Wouldn't want that swinging around in loose-legged shorts.

Today we moved our son into his new apartment - I realized I’m getting older as I’m pretty spent!

This evening I decided to try to “darken” this Cherry Bone 85 with some Burgandy Fiebings Leather Dye. It’s a step in the right direction - I’ll carry it a couple days to see if I’m happy with it. My other thought is to have one of our talented Porch craftsmen change the scales to smooth white bone. (No, I’m not bitter about the Forum Knife ).

At any rate, Happy Father’s Day to all my fellow non birthing parents. Peace and Love Everybody!

Great selection Gary, especially your lambsfoot. I have one of those little cotton samplers too, fun to play with, but not sure what it’s best suited for, since I don’t sample much cotton!

 

[JohnDF]

I love seeing Cracker Jack... Lovely Stag Lamb with an excellent name.

 

[Boattale]

A using not fancy one. If I need to cut any bolts, all I need to do is find me a good ball peen hammer.

Well, I got tired watching the niece and her husband, kids, and friends work so hard so we're back home and I've switched from the Buck 500 Duke to my new Case Sod Buster Jr..

While riding in town we came across this Buck with his antlers in velvet.

It's laughingly said that there are more deer in town than in the forest as the deer know there's no hunting allowed in town.

This year the forest is probably so dry, they came into town for some irrigated pasture.

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads !!! A special Sunday just for you. Hope you enjoy yours

A great evenin’ and nite to all

Antique, unique, and fantastique, Gus!

This boy's knife just speaks to my soul ... sometimes without saying a word

Jim said bees wouldn't sting idiots; but I didn't believe that, because I had tried them lots of times myself, and they wouldn't sting me ~ Huckleberry Finn

Sweet knife and squirt gun, and hilarious Twain quote!

All Aboard!

Striking acrylic on your Conductor!

Very handy. I've often wished for the reverse. small Sheepsfoot and big fat Spear.

Nice Gunstock, GT.
I've got one with their traditional shield and jigged bone... a very well put-together knife.
...

Thanks, John. Case has a humpback stockman with spear instead of clip main blade and a smaller sheepsfoot (and spey).
Glad your RR gunstock is OK, since you've had so many disappointing knives from RR. I wish I knew more about the origins of the gunstock pattern.

My Usual Lamb and an Imperial Barlow for Thrifty Thursday

Nice pair; an Imperial Barlow is a classic thrifty choice!

Nice Gary, that canittler and half hawk are sweet! Those are two I was never able to pick up!

Thanks, Todd. Quite a size difference between half hawk and canittler, but I like them both.

Tasty trio Gary I picked up a Denim Micarta Half Hawk in carbon the other day

Thanks, Jack.
Congrats on the denim micarta Half Hawk; is that a single-blade model?

Premium stag pair!!

Camillus Cutco trapper and a Voos Jack

Outstanding vintage bone, Steve!!!

Changed my tote
Time to get this 'Big-Un' acclimated and through the bonding phase

That groovy stag lambsfoot is fancy!

Here are 3 Rough Riders I'm carrying this week.


Three beauties, Gary. The Gunstock that Barrett gave you is a really nice design and the rifle shield is the icing on the cake.

Thanks, Dean. I really need to give the gunstock an extended try-out so I can learn the capabilities of the pattern.

I carried these two on my hike today. We saw an explosion of green everywhere we looked as we walked. We've had a lot of rain here this year and it sure shows.

Handsome pair you've piled up there!

My new whittler with a demon edge re guying the Lavuu for the kids night out. Cuts lovely

Congrats on the intriguing new whittler!

I stuck with the Barlow theme again today.

Enjoying your theme! That one is a classic!

I usually have this in my pocket and today was no exception. I also gave it a rest and put my new Northwoods Scagel to work this afternoon. Both knives have nice stag covers that I love.

Splendid stag pair, Bill!

...
Got my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket yet again, and an old IXL Penknife for Old Friends Friday Have a great day everyone

Lots of variety in your pairing, Jack!

Thanks.
I like it a lot. No fear of losing the knife, but it feels a little ostentatious. I'll get over that,though. Who's going to notice an ostentatious detail on my majestic gestalt?

Thanks for the feedback, especially that you have no fear of losing the knife; I've always worried about that when looking at horizontal, open "top" sheaths. I think I'd also find belt carry a little ostentatious, and I don't have the regal bearing to offset it. (I also don't wear a belt since I've switched to suspenders.)

Schrade 194OT, and Robeson 12227 EO Jack, 1922-39
...
Ok, this is funny. I thought to do a search using “Robeson 12227 eo jack”.
The very first search result was my exact knife, with a highly detailed description. His description of it’s having been subjected to the drooling ministrations of a demented Fluffer ‘n Buffer, the photos, and naming of the identical marks leave no doubt it’s my knife. I did not buy it from this guy, so it’s been passed around a bit.
There was a time when I optimistically decided the scales were ebony, but it looks like I was overly optimistic.
Here’s the link ~ it’s a long expired sales ad, but worth reading just to see an honest and THOROUGH knife description!

Admirable pair of knives (and sheath), Jeff, and intriguing story of your research on the Robeson!

Today for Black Friday, I have my Charlie Lamb and my Case Medium Jack.

Dazzling dark duo, John!

Thanks a lot Gary, that Remi UMC is my top copy, almost perfect!
Thanks also for the homework as those rarely seen English terms were enlightening… now using them properly with rhythm and flow is another matter altogether!! Pearly is a sweet one indeed.

Today’s simple carry…

A kool Friday, and weekend to all

As you point out, Gus, when I learn new words, I have to use them in order to remember them. So I inflict the rest of you with my attempts at maintaining my vocabulary.
That Kabar Barlow is a dreamboat!

I managed to lose some of my quote Gary! Thanks for the kind words anyway buddy You be careful fixing that roof
...

You're welcome, Jack. I'm getting to an age at which I'm reluctant to personally attempt any repairs that require a ladder.

. I think I'd also find belt carry a little ostentatious, and I don't have the regal bearing to offset it. (I also don't wear a belt since I've switched to suspenders.)

I was probably deceiving myself about the regal bearing.
The sheath would be less horizontal on suspenders.

You bet Gary that Robie is a beaut and repetition is the mother of perfection, or something like that…
On the topic of parents and being Pop’s day and all, a rarity out of its case today. My father bought this Pioneer for me along with a Mechanic almost three decades ago, shown here with one of his favourite rubies…. Never to be forgotten.

Happy Father’s Day to ALL, and of course a peaceful Sunday as well
