I dont carry traditional pocket knives much any more. Carried them most of my life. I still like them very much just dont carry them very often. I've been using a Laguiole some lately as I really like that design. If this is traditional enough for Robert I post up a pic shortly.   :)  I do carry on occasion a Western 657 a traditional much to my liking.

Thanks for clarifying the term "traditional" guys.
Since a little boy I remember Swiss Army knives and Opinels (and our Cretan similar knives) and some Italian Stilettos, which are my tradition. American knives were total strangers until MTO.
Calling Opinel, Svord, Douk-Douk, Merkator and Hayns' Helpers (which I saw here for the first time) primitive is a big mistake.
Take my Opinel Jardin for example. How primitive it is, a knife that uses the same steel as Skandinavian knives, is fully flat ground, lightweight, opens with one hand, completely silently, locks in both open and closed position with one hand, has a spearblade that can be reconfigured by the user any way he wants, a handle that can be engraved or sculpted by the user himself (thinning and making a convienient for one hand opening form included), is sharp and strong enough for every task, has a spine for scratching anything from fire rods to paint drops, has a reknown logo on the blade, can be tarnished and costs so little you can buy ten for the price of a mid class tactical folder, while it is as much a weapon without screaming it aloud, with that archetype tool format it has?
I wouldn't call that primitive, since it does more than any other folder knife I know.
My Helle Skala needs two hands to be opened, my Endura clicks with a noise that's music in the ears of a mall ninja but not a guy who served in a Special Forces camp, and all simple blade modern folders I see around can do less than the Opinel, which comes in any size you might want. And the format can be explored further, as Opinel does now with Outdoor, DIY and Explore.
Simple would be a better word than primitive, but even that is wrong since it's simple in concept but not in functionality, as it does more (for less). It's like calling a shark primitive, following a cognitive mistake of seeing evolution as a ladder. No, sharks were functional from the beginning and they stayed that way because they were almost perfect at such an early stage.
I would call Opinel an "evolved archetype". And a Neolithic obsidian knife "primitive".

Question for the knowing. Why (or is it a style of sorts) is it that so many different looking styled traditional knives have the word Jack in them. Eureka Jack, Indian Jack, Fremont Jack etc. They all seem to be of much variety. What is the common denominator?

Thanks

One or two blades opening on the same end.
Barlow, toothpick, copperhead, trapper and peanuts are all jack knives.

For any one interested here's a list of W.R. Case patterns.

two blades on the same end
:tu:
One or two blades opening on the same end.
Barlow, toothpick, copperhead, trapper and peanuts are all jack knives.

For any one interested here's a list of W.R. Case patterns.
http://assets.newmediaretailer.com/72000/72277/knife_pattern_descriptions.pdf
I don't think it has to be 2 blades (I'm not sure if that was a reply to me anyway)

So if it's one blade, that isn't inherently specific? I thought it'd be something more unique or clarifying  ;)

Great looking piece. I have that Michigan jack that resembles that pattern. Yours is a very very handsome knife and slip too!

Love the swayback jack!!  :dd:  Yours has really nice chestnut bone.

Thank you!  I like it.  It does seem to have a bit more red/orange than most I've seen.

The more recent jigged chestnut knives I've seen seem to have more contrasting black than the older ones, which I like.

Here is a pic of mine.  You can see that it isn't as dark in the jigging on the head end.  It could very well just be a difference in the lighting, though.
