I wonder when you come out the other side of you'll be selling off your moderns?well how does that saying go,"a folding knife is a knife that's already broken in the middle"? Caution and common sense go further than any lock

I’m noticing my pics tend to have some sort of food theme.

(Image removed from quote.)Day 5 found me in the road for the majority of the day so not much opportunity to cut stuff. I also picked up a Buck Stockman and Canoe on my travels.
(Image removed from quote.)Day #6 and the last day with the Queen #27. I absolutely love this knife!
(Image removed from quote.)It’s always fun getting a new knife in the mail.
Day 7 saw my traditional knife collection growing, before I started this adventure I only had the Kissing Crane Sodbuster.Left Top - Buck 388 CanoeLeft Middle - Boker CanoeLeft Bottom - Rough Rider High Carbon CanoeRight Top - Queen #25 Barlow “one armed bandit”Right Middle - Queen #27 Barlow “sheepsfoot”Right Bottom - Queen #60 Barlow “clip point”Bottom - Kissing Crane Sodbuster
Day 8 I used the Boker Canoe and the Rough Rider HC Canoe to peel two apples.
Well I thought the apple peeling would be a good test of being able to control the blade and how well the edge would sharpen. What this has done is put me on the lookout for some better quality Canoes so I’ll be looking for some Queen or Case Canoes but I really would like to get my hands on a Case Gunboat.
Day 9 missed a pic but the Queen One Armed Bandit Barlow was used extensively opening up packages. Day 10 found me using the Buck Canoe to open a container of BB’s for my kids on the backyard BB gun range. No issues Cutting through the thick plastic.
Day 11Don’t try this at home kids! Used the Queen One Armed Bandit to separate Legos for my son.

Not a whole lot of cutting tasks today at work but I do find that I’m not missing my larger locking folders. I have been cheating a bit and carrying my LM Wingman so that I have a pair of pliers and some other tools. I’m not using the knife on it as I’ve sworn fidelity to my traditional knives for at least 30 Days. I saw a Schrade 96OT Bear Head Trapper that has a toothpick and tweezers when got me to thinking if there are other traditional folders with neat features. I have found Electrician knives with a flat head looking blade and scout style knives with can openers and a flat head. What else is out there.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
