Family Reunion today--decided to carry one each of the knives I had from various relatives.  I didn't carry the homemade Kutmaster "Loom Knife" one of my great uncles who passed away a year ago (early September) had--he carried that knife and only that knife since the early '70s--despite having a huge knife and SAK collection that dwarfed mine.  I promised his widow, my great aunt I'd never carry it--so that's why I didn't.  Eventually I'll make my own Kutmaster (or Klein) "Loom Knife".

1974-1980 Buck 110, representing one of my great uncles who passed away due to dementia in October, last year. The knife was carried on the same property the reunion was held on--my great-grandmother (who passed six years ago, the property was purchased by my great aunt and uncle (the one that had the aforementioned Kutmaster).  Used it for quite a bit of heavy cutting--including cutting up an apple off a tree. (I always remove the core before eating apples).

1994 Buck Creek Diamondback--representing another great uncle that died in '09.  The knife was found before he passed in a Jeep he'd given my father. which my father borrowed a winch off to put on an older Jeep.  That "newer" Jeep I'll likely restore, eventually, or at least get running.   Used the sheepsfoot for opening a case of canned Coca-Cola


Alexander Pocket Screwdriver advertising industrial lubricant maker Mantek, which my grandfather had gotten in the '80s during his job as a coal mine purchasing agent.  He's still living.


And finally, representing myself-- Victorinox 1993 Soldier.  It opened over a dozen bottles of Mexican Coca-Cola today.   A Soldier is a traditional in my book--not too different from a Scout knife.

440C is a great steel

At this 440C while comparable super cheap knives are usually 420J2 or unknown junk.
Worth at less than $20

Laguiole again today. My liking of the Laguiole goes back to a couple Pat Crawford customs I once owned before they were stolen. Mr Crawfords design was based off the Laguiole. One of the things I really like about the Laguiole design is the blade to handle ratio. You get a lot of blade for the handle size. Which translates into a more compact size. I've long suspected the Laguiole had an influnce in the Texas Toothpick design. I have no proof of that.    :)

After seeing clown's swayback, I decided to carry mine today.  It's such a great little knife for slacks carry or to slip into the watch pocket in jeans.

 :cheers: Thanks.  Another day of great stuff in here...

I've always liked the Laguiole design, and I've looked at them before, but never come up with one that I felt was "authentic" enough.  Seems like there are a lot of knockoffs around, and I'd really like to find at a decent price from the correct area of the world.  There are so many options out there, and I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Here is a link that has some good info. Finding a good one is hard I looked for a long time before I found the one above. I found it used on the bay and won it at a decent price around couple years ago.     :)
