What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

This is my field bag I used as an engineer. After I retired it saw minimal use until I took over Dad's affairs, then it became the repository of all things concerning Dad. After he passed it held everything having to with the estate. The last few years its held everything having to do with the Tennessee property.

Heading to Tennessee tomorrow and decided to clean it out. About 4 inches of folders I don't need to tote down there every time I go. Discovered my old Schrade 6OT hiding in the back pocket with a bandanna. Considering how badly abused - digging in the ground, hacking vines, cutting wire, etc. - it was, its in great shape. Its got some wobble, but not too bad. A few strokes on a stone, couple more on a ceramic and I managed to cut myself with it thumb.gif A testament to how tough these old Schrades were. I always had a pocket knife on me, but this one got all the nasty jobs. Cleaned up well.

Old Schrades are hard work knives.

I can't believe John JohnDF JohnDF JohnDF JohnDF is travelling so light. You'd think he'd hide/carry a Lambsfoot along his ankle in his sock

I have my Lamb stashed in my suitcase. 🤣
I'll take a picture of it in the morning... here in Wyoming.

I sure do hope JohnDF JohnDF JohnDF JohnDF appreciates the sacrifice so many of us are making to carry a Vic Alox so as to be in solidarity with him

NICE !!! ... I have a Wines Rosewood Lambfoot and love it. Very good knife. But I don't have any experience with G.Wines fixed blades. So what do you think of that one? It sure looks really good !!! And what's the steel used?
Click to expand...
Thanks. The fixed blade is an LT Wright. Believe the steel is A2. Honestly, it doesn't see much use. I just carry it on hikes, and never really find myself in a situation a folder won't handle. But I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and wish I'd brought it out.

Figured the two were a good pair for the day :)
 
Started out the day carrying these 2 while I was running the Chipper Shredder for about 3 Hours .

Then switched to these 2 and went out for Lunch

And also took some photos for a Grand-Daughter to use to put onto a Drinking Cup . Hopefully , it is good enough for her to use .

And if there is room enough , She will also put this photo on it too . Doubtful though .
