What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[SteveC]

Alox Knife of the Week is an red old cross Pioneer. (My rotation schedule actually has a "blank" in the Alox slot for this week that I had hoped I would fill in with a new-to-me example by this time, but I'm still waiting for myself to commit to something appropriate. )

The Mad Professor’s Mathematical Knife Rotation Algorithm served up a winning quartet this week.
I realize the photo of the black Spartan is not a new photo, but it is a harbinger of things to come.
And our axis has rolled enough that even as late as 7:30 am I’m not getting direct sunlight for a photo

This wasn't posted here, but I had technical difficulties trying to comment on it last night.
That is a quality picture right there... Knives, Beer, BBQ Brats, all the makings of a perfect evening.

It's just fun to go fishing... Catching is a bonus.
I agree with you and Todd, Dry flies are just way more fun and relaxing.
I will dredge a Wooly Bugger if I know the huge Browns are hiding or the Steelhead are running... but 95% dry flies for me.

I always like the Ancient Barlows... Like me, they look older than they are.

There is no replacement for that one, GT.
That Old Cross Alox is one of my favorites of yours.

your ebony WCLF is very distinguished!

Thank you, GT.
If they had gotten the blade cant correct, it might not ever leave my pocket.

Thanks for confirming that the 1-blade Case trapper was a new knife for you. Congrats; it's a handsome devil!

Thanks again, GT.
I spend way too much time looking for Case Single Blade Trappers on the Bay.

Taking a Waiter with me to a steam engine/tractor show today.

I always enjoy the old steam engines at the fairs. Hope you have an enjoyable day.

TGIF... It sure took it's time getting here!

Nicely paired Rachel

More than pleasant pair, Rachel! I've really enjoyed seeing your ebony penknife (Esquire?) you've carried recently.

Thanks, guys! The little Esquire penknife pairs well with just about anything.

I had a big paper round myself John!

TGIF... It sure took it's time getting here!

Hope you get you to put your feet up at the weekend my friend

Great pic

Thanks, Jack. Sometimes they come out okay.

Superb vintage Schrade! That must be an ancestor of the Schrade+ USA 93OT I have; the clip/sheepsfoot combo is really nice on a jack.

- GT

Thanks, GT. Yes, same pattern, different scales. It sure is a handy combo!

Great lineup today. I really like that Alox.

I will dredge a Wooly Bugger if I know the huge Browns are hiding or the Steelhead are running... but 95% dry flies for me.

I agree, I just like getting out and throwing some casts. If I catch something, even better!

That is a fine group GT. As has been noted by many, the cross Pioneer has a great weathered look. I'm sure it has many stories that could be told.

TGIF... It sure took it's time getting here!

Agree, and this was a shorter week with Labor Day. Not sad to see this week end.

Hope everyone one has a great Friday and a better weekend.

Glad it’s almost in your rear view mirror, Jerry!
Did you figure out how bats got in your house and rectify that?

Ironwood Albers today

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Carpenter’s Whittler and Bullnose today.This hat has seen the ticks and chiggers of Ft. Leonard Wood, the mosquitos of Ft. McCoy, and the dust of the Hindu Kush. I like to wear it sometimes.

Thinking I may hit the river today. You guys talking about fishing...

Have a great day!

Beautiful pocket knife!

Hope you get you to put your feet up at the weekend my friend

It should be a good weekend.
Going to watch my son play with the Sac State Marching Band at the football game on Saturday.
Sunday, we are going to a Cornhole tournament. It's to benefit my best friend's memorial foundation.
Hope you have some fun activities planned for yourself too, my friend. Have a great weekend.

Not sad to see this week end.

Me too... counting the days until Spring Break.

 

[TheChunk91]

A super stainless craftsman that came along with a box of old craftsman tools I bought recently. Good little knife, but I wish it had a sheepsfoot instead of the spey.

Hanging at the countryside so it’s fixed blade freedom and kep-farting around (brisa kephart).
