We’ve got quite a few fans of the traditional folding knife here at MTo, and Barry and I were hoping to have some fun with these knives in July. Toward that end, we are setting up a 30-day Traditional folder challenge for July, 2019. If you don't have a traditional yet, there is still time to pick one up, perhaps second hand, and try out the knife your Grandfather might have used and depended on.
This is meant to be fun, but there will be a few rules, as always, for these types of challenges:
1. Carry and use a Traditional Folder for the month of July (the 1st through the 30th)
2. While accessory tools are permitted as necessary, participants are expected to use a traditional folder as their primary knife/tool
3. Post a photo and a brief description of how the ‘trad’ got used (or not) for that day.
4. It used to be the case (no pun intended) a person was lucky to have just one cherished pocket knife and would use that knife exclusively. Barry and I will both be using our cherished Sodbusters exclusively for this challenge. While the rules allow the carry of various traditional knives over the course of the 30-day period, we’d like to encourage participants to use just one knife for the entire challenge. Get to know that Traditional! How well does that model do, day-in and day-out?

Nothing is certain yet, but there will likely be a couple of sub-challenges and a GAW or two during this July challenge. We’ll see. In any event, there is a badge to be earned!

Or, if you plan on using a GEC folder, you could go for the 30-GEC challenge….

So, pick up a new traditional or sharpen the one you have and let’s plan for a fun July using these classic knives the way they were meant to be! :tu:

Just been thinking about this... I think I'd like to have a small selection, maybe just three or four, to chose from depending on what I'm doing that day. Maybe something as simple as small, medium and large - small for town, medium for work and large for country?

Pencil me in :tu:, can we define traditional though? i have loads here so hard to choose which one but some of them may not be regarded as traditional :dunno:
I think that several people will have the same question, Borg.
I'm afraid I'll be useless in answering that question. For me it's a bit like defining the difference between art and what Fuzzy does, hard to define but I know the one from the other when I see it. :dunno:
For purposes of this challenge, if it's got a tang-stamp that says 'Victorinox' or 'Wenger', it is excluded (not that they aren't traditional, but they have their own challenges.). I think Opinels, Douk-douks, Mercators, Laguoiles, and anything that would fit the name of "Jack knife". If it would have looked at home in Grand-dad's or Grand-ma's pocket, I think it will qualify.
My recommendation: post a pic of a a few that you might want to use during the challenge, and we'll see if we can get a decision from a knowledgable moderator whose name starts with "Steve".

Knives considered traditional would include any of the traditional slipjoint pattern knives including more modern versions like the Lionsteel Shuffler etc. , Opinels, Douk Douks, Higos - the Mercator. Friction folders and Lockbacks like the Buck 110.
While there are many traditional fixed blades they don't belong in this challenge.

all these - Knives considered traditional would include any of the traditional slipjoint pattern knives including more modern versions like the Lionsteel Shuffler etc. , Opinels, Douk Douks, Higos - the Mercator. Friction folders and Lockbacks like the Buck 110.
and these - For purposes of this challenge, if it's got a tang-stamp that says 'Victorinox' or 'Wenger', it is excluded (not that they aren't traditional, but they have their own challenges.). I think Opinels, Douk-douks, Mercators, Laguoiles, and anything that would fit the name of "Jack knife". If it would have looked at home in Grand-dad's or Grand-ma's pocket, I think it will qualify.
Knives would have to have a back spring or back lock, liner locks would be OK if they had a back spring like a boy scout or TL-29 but no Walker liner locks.
Friction folders like the Opinel are good as well.
No thumb studs, spidie holes, flippers or pocket clips.
So a traditional slip joint and a modern slip joint are fine.
(https://i.imgur.com/Phx3xSt.jpg)
On the extreme side the Manly Wasp had a pocket clip but it has been permanently removed so not even the holes show so it could be allowed as well.

So any of the Buck 110/112 variants are good, or just the Classic?
At some point those would seem to slip away from the intent of the tag, 'traditional'. A drop-point 110 with nylon scales starts to look awfully modern to me. And, of course the Buck 110 has it's own challenge. I think the intent here is to dip back into older styles of knives and work with those. Since all modern knives are essentially built on the traditions of traditional knives, I think it's challenging to define the "Traditional" category. Is a Spyderco Endura a Traditional? Nah. But it's no different than a 110LT, really. In that sense, I think it would be better to go with the J.E. Made which is clearly a modern take on a Traditional design (clip point, slip joint).
My 2¢.

Sounds interesting. I've been trying to save up for a GEC Calf Pen (cheapest I can buy locally), and may do it with just that once I get it. I did the original (though I didn't request a badge) and I did one for the badge in Feb. Sticking to one traditional for 30 days will be a real challenge. I change just about daily.
The rules don't require sticking to one, but it is encouraged..... :pok:

That was my plan, but wondered about the 110 Classic and the 110LT. I have a Winchester 112 clone as well.

So I have to ask.... what’s wrong with someone adding a pocket clip to a traditional knife
Tradition! :D

Does a Farmer count as a trad blade? If so, I'm in like Flynn :cheers:
Sorry Mags, Vic et al has been excluded from the challenge... Mainly, it has to be said, in a vain attempt to keep your sort out of it. I'm sorry, but somebody had to say it... got to be cruel to be kind... got to be cruel to be kind...
Thanks just throw me under the bus. :rofl:
all these - Knives considered traditional would include any of the traditional slipjoint pattern knives including more modern versions like the Lionsteel Shuffler etc. , Opinels, Douk Douks, Higos - the Mercator. Friction folders and Lockbacks like the Buck 110.
and these - For purposes of this challenge, if it's got a tang-stamp that says 'Victorinox' or 'Wenger', it is excluded (not that they aren't traditional, but they have their own challenges.). I think Opinels, Douk-douks, Mercators, Laguoiles, and anything that would fit the name of "Jack knife". If it would have looked at home in Grand-dad's or Grand-ma's pocket, I think it will qualify.
Knives would have to have a back spring or back lock, liner locks would be OK if they had a back spring like a boy scout or TL-29 but no Walker liner locks.
Friction folders like the Opinel are good as well.
No thumb studs, spidie holes, flippers or pocket clips.
So a traditional slip joint and a modern slip joint are fine.

On the extreme side the Manly Wasp had a pocket clip but it has been permanently removed so not even the holes show so it could be allowed as well.

And it's worn so when it's open it overextends a bit and when it's closed it sits a bit high so I might not use it to much.
But it was cheap so I can always play around with it at home

I think the Bull Buster is the one for me. It falls below my $70 limit at $67 and is a sizable 4.75" closed. Plus, I"m used to a Sodbuster. I have the Rough Rider Work Knife (which failing me getting a GEC, might just be what I do this challenge with) which is a Sodbuster with a linerlock and love it. For something I'll use regularly, all the boxes are marked; within budget, good-sized, bright scales, and a lanyard tube. Plus, factoring in the free slip sheath (as KSF typically does with GECs) coming with it being $15 alone, that's even better.

I am trying to figure out the best way to carry my JE Made for the challenge, but everything I have tried so far just isn’t comfortable for a 30 day challenge.
I tried a makeshift bail, allowing use of a pocket dangler. Best option so far, but not happy with how the knife feels with all that hanging on it.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190501/22abce3cf9e69efa58570d38a87fe33f.jpg)
I also checked out a sheath with pocket clip at Smokey Mountain Knife Works, but didn’t realize it was a sleeve. The bottom is open. I don’t like that. I am thinking of getting it and trying to see the bottom closed. That and a nice leather lanyard might work.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190501/ed0158311f66e802dae4c1f9f7e6df00.jpg)

Thanks chaps :salute:Much appreciated and I will do my best to put them to good use during the challenge :hatsoff: :cheers:
I don't do challenges (or badges - I make my own >:D) but may well pop in from time to time, just to be sociable :D Some days I'm not safe to operate a camera, let alone anything sharp :rofl: but will certainly give support when I can, which is why I sent RF those three knives. I'll participate vicariously through him

Great you are joining this challenge comis :cheers:
Nice looking knife :like: :tu:
Thanks! Thought the gun stock butt cap with a bullet on its stag cover is an interesting mix, it got one main and pen blade setup kinda like a Barlow, but they are on separate spring. :think: Pretty decent walk and talk though. :tu:
Nonetheless, I'm no expert in Traditionals, and sometimes I found the naming could be confusing to me.
I had been collected some traditional on-and-off, carried them once in a blue moon. Finally put the foot down for a challenge to really put em to good use! Definitely am excited to be part of this! :popcorn:

Buck BF Knife in CPM154 (daily carry style knife). I've finally managed to loosen up the main blade enough for it to have some snap. Had been a shelf queen until now, the super lazy main blade drove me crazy. Then the internet suggested vice + wiggle and hey presto, snaps open and closed!

First impressions, fit and finish spot on, blade sharp out the box and as Greg mentions real smooth opening and closing, has a nice feel to it and i love the blade shape, really looking forward to giving this one a run

Knives considered traditional would include any of the traditional slipjoint pattern knives including more modern versions like the Lionsteel Shuffler etc. , Opinels, Douk Douks, Higos - the Mercator. Friction folders and Lockbacks like the Buck 110.
While there are many traditional fixed blades they don't belong in this challenge.

They are #81 Bull Moose Antique Amber Jigged Bone and #82 Dixie Stockman Sambar Stag, I just got to handle them a little bit, and quite like their walk, not strong like a nail puller but somewhere between a 91 and 93mm SAK.

Really, really like that pattern. Unfortunately, it only seems GEC and Boker (in the USA era) did a clip/spear Moose. Still trying to find a user Boker Moose. The only one I own is from the Great American Story line, and is still in the box.

Decent. It's made by the same people as Rough Rider; and I have a two blade Rough Rider (with a Marble's etch--factory error) with that same electrician's blade. Problem is that it doesn't fit a flat head screw as good as a Camillus (also pretty cheap used). But for sure, no good as a pocketknife. Meant for scraping off insulation at best.

Yeah. I didn’t figure it do much, but for some reason it kept catching my eye. If I don’t like it I’ll just sell it or toss in a drawer. Haha. Got it cheap.

Thank you!!
Yes, it is an awesome knife. Well worth the $175 it cost me. I never EVER thought I would pay that much for a freakin knife. But the Nick Shabazz YouTube review sold me!
The guy that makes them is JiYiChen on Instagram.

I'm afraid so... but only by a couple of dollars. :D
Well that Marbles Electrician knife came in. Yep. Junk. Oh well. At least it was under $12!!! Haha
It will be going into the never use drawer. Probably never to see the light of day again. Too bad. It’s nice and light.

Sorry to hear this, is it because the tip of the blade keep hitting the pin whenever it closes?
Can’t really tell. I don’t have the knife with me at the moment. Will have to look closer after work.

But just to ensure I understand correctly, knives with tools (like scout knife below) are not considered traditionals.

In that case, I’ll probably swap between the two throughout the month and have a sentimental month. The Scout was my first knife and given to me by my Dad when I was 8. The Rough Rider was a transfer gift from the wardroom of one of the ships I was on.
Awesome!!!

This thing is going to notify me to death from all the replies and posts. Haha

Someone has to splain what's gonna happen here. I'd sure like to sign up. Got enough to do one a day for 30 if need be.
Got a GE Gipetto Whittier that needs some action too.
Here's how the challenge works: first you sign up by saying "I'm in!". After that, starting 01 July, you post a photo of your traditional knife every day. Shots showing the knife in use (or results of use) are appreciated by everyone following along. Pretty easy. You can use one knife or a few....or 30!
As a bonus for the rest of us, it's great to hear what people like about their knives or tools. The key thing is that we have a bit of fun and focus on one type of tool (Traditional knife in this case) for a month.
Etiquette demands that you label or number your daily post, so the moderators (the guys who award the challenge badges) can be sure who is participating on a daily basis. E.g. "Day 01: Used my spey blade to fix the cat." [Photo]
You'll get the idea as you see the other 27 of us posting every day.... :D

Let’s shoot for 40!
Everyone should have a TRAD from their youth tucked away in a dresser drawer or a shoebox or a tool box.
My dad as long back as I remember had a pocket knife on him, a 2 blade model (Muskrat), both blades identical, so when one became dull, he would flip around and use the other. Only other knife he used regularly was a filet knife I gave him for Father’s Day a long long time ago. (Still in his tackle box) The pocket knife may have been buried with him, as my mom has no idea what became of it.
The more the merrier!

I have dealt with Bryan in the past but his knives tend to be more expensive here than what you would pay overseas.
And they are somewhat unfinished.
Last time I bought one for a gift I had to go through a whole box looking for a decent one.
Kind of thought the next svord I got would be the boning knife or maybe the drop point.
Will see what happens.

However this time I'd like to take the opportunity to find out the differences/advantages between the Mini Trapper, Sodbuster Jr & Mini Peasant.

I might not be able to attend the challenge. I will be on work travel for 7-10 days in July and most likely won't have any internet access during that time. :(
Totally NOT a problem!
As the other guys have mentioned, take a photo of your traditional knife every day. If you can't post for a few days, no worries, just post the photos when you can catch up (this could even be after the challenge is completed). Please be sure to label your photos, e.g. Day 10, Day 11, etc..... Or July 10, July 11.... That way we can follow the challenge as you experienced it (and a mod can give you full marks for the total 30 days).
Too easy! This is a hassle-free challenge. :D We just want you to have fun with it--and share that fun when you can. :tu:

I have dealt with Bryan in the past but his knives tend to be more expensive here than what you would pay overseas.I got a few from Svord, and do have to agree with your assessment. I guess each one was like a little 'knife project' of its own. Not one knife has even grind from side to side, the angle could be vastly different from tip to belly, some has nasty machine marks all over the blade, wood handles are uneven...the list goes on.
And they are somewhat unfinished.
Last time I bought one for a gift I had to go through a whole box looking for a decent one.

The small size problem is bigger, because the tip of the blade will nick into one of the pins, each time it closes. I am still in search for the right bushing to fix this. Don't get me wrong, I still like them a whole lot, and do felt a stronger bond with them since they all needed the work. But I guess the QC might be a little lacking most of the time.

I've got mine gifted from Mags :hatsoff:
And I can confirm the unsymmetrical grind and also the blades tip touching the pivot.
I've corrected the blades profile with my Lansky kit.
For the blades-tip-touching-the-pivot problem I've exchanged the stopper-pin with a thicker one I took from an old bike-chain-link :salute:

Thanks Matt! That's a good idea! I was wondering where to locate a bushing to go over that pin, but it'd be much easier to find a new larger pin and drill it in. :tu:

I like that... gorgeous and 3 handy different blade styles :like:

Not as thick as me! :2tu:... wait?...
It's nicely stocky, I'd say - it fits my hand rather beautifully. The fit n finish is fantastic, even for a GEC, I especially like the franking on the tangs - it's super-sharp.

I was using my Opinel 6 today for apple duty, it would be a great carry but unfortunately it's not legal carry here.Why is it not legal?
Because of locking blade or length?

I have been trying but nothing yet.
Was planning to get one last look in town on Monday.
But then the kids dental appointment got made for Tuesday so I really need to work Monday.
Even with a blade July is a busy month, the kids will be home with school holidays, working, 13th anniversary stuff, the list is endless.
Over committing and under delivering doesn't leave me in a good place.
With that said, I'll try.
You lot might have to put up with some pretty boring pics though.

I'm ready. :D I have pondered on how to do this challenge. Whether to do a regular Traditional or GEC challenge. If a regular Traditional challenge whether a do a particular knife company for a week during the month. Or to do a different pattern a week for the month. Since all that is more than I want to wrestle with at the moment it will be some what random. Since this challenge starts on a Monday I do know what knife will get this stampede started with. Those of you who have been around awhile know what that knife is. :D
David, I think we should go for the GEC badge since we already have the trad badge. We can always carry more than one trad so it's a win win :D :tu:

This is a non-SAK, traditional knife challenge, Ray.
The definition of a 'traditional knife' is fairly loose (we bandied that around in the first coupe of pages of this thread), but is basically a folding knife with a clear basis in history. Most slip joints will make the cut....pardon the pun...and designs well founded in tradition and lore will, too. Opinels, Barlows, Stockmen, even something like a Benchmade Proper will be allowed. A Scout knife, yes. Lock backs are considered to be traditional for the purposes of this challenge, although a carbon-fiber scaled lock back with a reverse Tanto blade ain't gonna be considered 'traditional'. Since SAK's have their own challenges, we've excluded SAKs. Most every knife in this thread will qualify: What Traditional Knife are you toting today? (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,68477.0/topicseen.html)
Basically, if the knife would have seemed at home in your Grandad's pocket, it's probably a traditional. And you probably have one. Or six. So dig out that old Trapper or Stockman and join in! :pok:

I've got a few GEC's I can rotate through and proably there will be other traditionals along side also. You know me I like to carry some steel. :D
I think Dean must have gone black on us again working on one of Tony's Skunk Works projects. Might have to send the Moose and crew to look for him. :D

I actually do not have any traditional knives...closest would be the Case 101 which is in Tampa...all mine are current...but I may ask my brother if he has any and then go from there. As for Granddads...we never knew our Granddads as they died before we even got to know them. It’s funny, that I am the Granddad now. May have to get one just to pass the “tradition” on down! :cheers:

Pretty rough shape. Soaked it in some hot soapy water and worked the blades in and out while under water. Took an old tooth brush to it.
Rinsed and oiled and tried to wipe out all the gunk. Sharpened and stropped all three blades.
Still rough. Still a little gunk build up. But all three blades are sharp. One has a broken tip. I’d say the knife has been used hard. Not really taken care of.
A few pics below. I’ll use it some during the challenge next month. Keep using it and washing every so often. Wish I had a sonic cleaner.

I was doing some work cleaning up my work room in the basement today. Came across this old knife. No idea where I got it, or when. No clue what it even is.
Pretty rough shape. Soaked it in some hot soapy water and worked the blades in and out while under water. Took an old tooth brush to it.
Rinsed and oiled and tried to wipe out all the gunk. Sharpened and stropped all three blades.
Still rough. Still a little gunk build up. But all three blades are sharp. One has a broken tip. I’d say the knife has been used hard. Not really taken care of.

I was doing some work cleaning up my work room in the basement today. Came across this old knife. No idea where I got it, or when. No clue what it even is.
Pretty rough shape. Soaked it in some hot soapy water and worked the blades in and out while under water. Took an old tooth brush to it.
Rinsed and oiled and tried to wipe out all the gunk. Sharpened and stropped all three blades.
Still rough. Still a little gunk build up. But all three blades are sharp. One has a broken tip. I’d say the knife has been used hard. Not really taken care of.
A few pics below. I’ll use it some during the challenge next month. Keep using it and washing every so often. Wish I had a sonic cleaner.

Welcome to this Summer’s 30-day Traditional Knife challenge!
Barry and I hope you guys will have a lot of fun with this challenge, while enjoying a safe and happy Summer. Already some heat records have been broken, so stay hydrated and stay cool!
During this 30-Day challenge, we are going to run a few “In-Challenge Challenges”. These are strictly optional and just meant to add a little extra fun and conversation to the challenge thread. Please don’t nobody take ‘em too serious. (But there will be prizes…..)
So, now to our first In-Challenge Challenge. (Yes, I know, the 30-day challenge doesn't start until tomorrow, but we wanted you guys to have time to plan and participate in this one.)
ICC #1: Fourth of July Challenge:
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQASHF_JUSFhSnAkPx08K0pFQGq_NvajCeXsTRQJifJqmi6Krub)
Barry and I are both HUGE fans of the Forth of July. Maybe it’s the fireworks, maybe it’s the history of the day, maybe it’s just the national heartbeat of patriotism, or maybe it’s all those BBQ’s on a Summer's day….. Whatever the reason, we love the tradition of celebrating our national birthday and hope you will join us in the celebration!
(https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/78/590x/secondary/Independence-Day-Fourth-of-July-the-4th-what-is-it-celebrations-history-988803.jpg)
Here’s the challenge:
Post a picture of your Traditional knife being used in a celebratory meal on the 4th of July.
(https://www.sdentertainer.com/wp-content/uploads/barbecue-bbq-beef-533325-660x400.jpg)
Americans love to BBQ or grill on the fourth of July, so a snap of your trad with a hotdog, bratwurst, or hamburger would be especially welcome, but, even if it’s just a salad, post that shot with your traditional knife on July 4th. Oh, and in your post, please give our Uncle Sam a shout out for his birthday!
From a list of those who enter the Fourth of July Challenge, I’ll randomly select a winner to receive a prize (yeah, Barry, you are eligible to play, too. I better see a good BBQ shot from you, buddy... :pok: ).
The prize:
(https://i.imgur.com/Id8nrzU.jpg)
A Vic pocket sharpener and a bottle of spicy mustard sauce, sure to keep that BBQ knife sharp and put some fireworks on your next hot dog or bratwurst!

No idea of the brand. Most likely just some old cheapie dimestore seller.
However, it’s going to get used. I’m not interested in trying to polish it all up and make it pretty. I’m just going to use it. Keep oiling it up and working the remaining gunk out of the pivots.
I think I’ll make it my work beater next month. Drop it in my pocket and head to work each day.
I’ll use my JE Made for weekends and non work days.
Try to bring some useful life back to that old stockman knife.

Thanks to those pointing out that old knife I found is a stockman. Never heard of that before. Did some looking up on Google.

You know, I'm not so sure about that, judging by how well put together the backsprings are and the fact that all the blades have swedges - it looks like reasonably well made usable knife. :think: What do other more qualified members think?
Post by: SteveC on June 30, 2019, 06:15:03 PM
Hard to say who made it but some of the big companies like Camillus did make some unbranded knives. It's not shell construction and it has brass liners so that points to a better knife than most of the cheapies.
I'm sure it has good steel in the blades :tu:

Sounds like me. I've lately stuck with Caliber, since they're so lightweight ,and some of Case's dealers are clearing them out for $10-15. My work knife is the LT347 Stockman. I want some Stags (not bone stag) in my collection, but they're super expensive. I'm looking at getting a 75 pattern Jumbo Stockman in bone or Earth Brown G-10.

That's the 1047 (BSA version of the well-regarded 72 Carpenter's Whittler); great choice! I have one with brown scales (Delrin, ca. 1980s).

It’s time to announce the second of our In-Challenge Challenges (ICC).
Too soon? :think:
I know, I know, we only just announced the 4th of July ICC yesterday. So why so soon? Well, this ICC is going to run the full length of the 30-day Traditional Challenge. It is the….
ICC #2: Campfire Challenge
Barry and I both enjoy getting outside and enjoying sometime out in the woods. Especially in the Summer. For each of us, it's kind of a....traditional thing to do.... Hey, regardless, a recent study has demonstrated that two hours of time out in nature per week is good for your well being* (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-nature-wellbeing/spending-minimum-two-hours-weekly-in-nature-tied-to-good-health-wellbeing-idUSKCN1TL2JL). So we put this little challenge together to prompt contestants to get outside, away from the Idiot box, or the YouTube, or the PlayStation, and relax outside with a friendly fire, aka, Ranger TV.
Something like this:
(https://i.gifer.com/RpNr.gif)
Although, not like this:
(https://i.gifer.com/3o5M.gif)
Here is your challenge:
Take a shot of your Traditional knife, outside, with a fire and post it during the challenge. You must make said fire during the challenge. A campfire would be great, but a backyard fire-pit fire, a well-fueled bucket fire, or even a nice set of Tiki torches will do. There has to be three elements in your photo: outside, fire, and a traditional knife. Fires are dangerous, so be safe, please.
(https://media1.tenor.com/images/8961107ac7c231e1a583cc3f6d460169/tenor.gif?itemid=9564695)
We are letting this run for the length of the challenge so that everyone can find some time during this summer challenge to get out, enjoy a fire, and maybe even make some s’mores. Oh,…bonus points if you use your Traditional folder to help make the fire.
From the list of successful entries, we will randomly pick a winner on July 31st (after the challenge is completed) to receive the grand prize….
The Prize: A genuine Zippo lighter (how’s that for traditional?) embossed with the Case knives logo (Double traditional!):

For Monday the 1st, I’ll be carrying this old stockman knife I found recently. I am still trying to clean it up. Lots of gunk build up.
I did clean and oil it some more and sharpened and stropped it. Will be a work in progress.

A GEC#44 Buffalo jack next to the very first knife I ever owned, gifted by my grandpa many decades ago. Back then, money were tight, Grandpa was kinda enough to gift me this knowing I was going to join Scout soon. This knife accompanied me much of my childhood, and only years later, I knew this was an imitation after the original Buck 112 Ranger. I am sure in month to come, I will make many new memories with those few GECs I owned, and just like to celebrate the very first day with an old knife that brought back so much old memories.
Hopefully I could pass this along with my GECs down to my son or even grandson, and tell the story of grandpa and his humble beginning.

Nice idea for a ICC! I will refrain from doing that here though. It is so dry here, I am afraid to pass gas outside, as that might spark a wild fire :facepalm: :D

We thought it might be tough for some people to light a real blaze, so that's why we said even a Tiki torch will do. We're not sticklers on this (well, I am, but Barry isn't.). And technically, a burning candle is a very small fire......and your balcony is outside...... :pok:

Got a new sleeping bag from Cabelas a while back and had never taken out of the box till this morning. It had a plastic wrap around it. Used the spey blade on the Calf Roper to cut the plastic wrap off. I used the spey blade cause it does not have a real pointy blade. Which would help not to poke a hole in the sleeping bag should I slip with the knife. :D

I opened a bag of charcoal with the hooked blade of my electrician's knife and it was a lot duller than I remembered. I'm gonna have to sharpen it.

I used to use a very similar notebook for taking notes on my reading for the A/C units I was servicing! I have since gone to this Rhodia leather one and it has been holding up very well.Thanks. I bought a bundle of these (3) for a $1. This is number 2, the first was left in my pant’s pocket and barely survived a wash/dry cycle. I copied the important stuff to the green book.
Lists in the front, important notes to back pages.

Stupidly went over some lubrine his morning with the mower and had to cut it free. Could've done with the Supertool's serrated blade to be honest, but the Calf Roper got the job done eventually, but it did take quite a few more cutting strokes than I would have liked... I'll touch up the main blade a bit more tonight I think.

I’m kinda digging this no name old stockman type knife.
Using at work. Use the smaller, broken tipped blade for opening parts packages for my work.
Figure to use the longer blade for any food use and keep the use of the sheep’s foot looking blade for general cutting.

Save your money for a Schrade USA 106OT if you want to go traditional. The Taylor made ones just aren't of good quality. They're sort of uncommon, but not really rare. The scissors on this knife are great, equivalent to those on an SAK.
Here's mine and a comparison to 58mm and 74mm SAK scissors.

It's Day 2 here already, been up since 3:30am. Here's some pre-jerky (actually more like biltong, I air dry it). All cleaned, sliced and now in the fridge for salting overnight. Oh and I may have slightly switched over to a 8" chef's knife soon after taking this picture. :D

Day 1
I've always wanted to try shaving with a knife, so I figured, new knife with a great factory edge why not give it a go!
I discovered it would work in a pinch, but not ideal as it took too many passes to achieve what I like.
That's quite a factory edge! Wow!

It was only a few weeks ago I got this GEC54, and I love the shape and the size of it immediately. The only issue is the nail breaking backspring which is killing me everytime I pull it open. Thanks to Dean and Steve whom patiently draw me diagram and shown me photos, I had rounded the tang of this knife just a tiny bit to make improvement. Now the pull is back down from a nail breaking 9(10 being wielded shut) to a more manageable 7.5-8, and I had been keeping it semi-opened for almost 2 weeks now(?) to see whether I could weaken the backspring a little bit.
I will keep everyone posted on the progress, and if by the end of month nothing changes, I might grind in 5-10 deg from the tang to make the initial pull even better.

Thanks Comis :hatsoff:
Btw, I do not think that keeping it open would have any effect on the back spring. I had bought SAKs that were displayed for years with open tools with no noticeable affect.
Keep us updated :tu:

Save your money for a Schrade USA 106OT if you want to go traditional. The Taylor made ones just aren't of good quality. They're sort of uncommon, but not really rare. The scissors on this knife are great, equivalent to those on an SAK.Nice :like:
Here's mine and a comparison to 58mm and 74mm SAK scissors.

Thanks for the input, I on the other hand purchased two Wengers half-opened for years, and their backsprings were really soft. No worries, I figured if I couldn't get it soften for a month, I probably should just go ahead and grind in that tiny bit to make it more usable. Either way, I will keep everyone posted[size=78%]l![/size] :cheers:

The Sodbuster got pulled out to help make a batch of Raita (Indian-style cucumber and mint salad). I used it to seed and chop cucumber and slice a lime. The (relatively) broad blade tracks well for long slices. The full belly at the tip means some follow-through is required for cuts through thicker stacks of stuff (cucumber in this case), but it cuts well and cleanly.
Handy knife today. :tu:

It's really the start of a patina. When I decided to use one carbon blade, I knew it would have to do what my stainless is usually used for.
Dean its not really patina. Steve is just seeing things again. :D Hang in there buddy its only thirty days of being stainless free. :pok: :D
Then again I didn't think it out very well. :facepalm:

Day 02:Nice :tu:
The Sodbuster got pulled out to help make a batch of Raita (Indian-style cucumber and mint salad). I used it to seed and chop cucumber and slice a lime. The (relatively) broad blade tracks well for long slices. The full belly at the tip means some follow-through is required for cuts through thicker stacks of stuff (cucumber in this case), but it cuts well and cleanly.
Handy knife today. :tu:

It looks like I got bumped off the list; I was added as #32 by Nix in Reply #625. Just toss me back in there wherever. :rofl:Nice duty! :tu:
I keep using my knife and marveling how handy it is, even without pliers, screwdrivers, etc. Then I keep forgetting to take a picture when I use it. :facepalm:
So here it is gently prying up the plastic covers for the puck attachments in my truck bed.

Cut out the foil seal on the termite spray, the carpenter bees and termites are after the shed this year. Other than that I broke down a couple boxes today.
(https://i.imgur.com/YIL4RMb.jpg)
I've got to get some of that stuff next time I'm at Lowe's--carpenter bees have made a mess out of the garage (and attached tractor shed) as well as the barn and its attached shed. They've drilled 1/2 holes all over the place! My grandmother set out traps, but those don't work that well.
Day 2. Carried the 2016 Walmart version on my belt (nylon sheath; but used the '74-80 leather). I have never carried it that much. When I bought it, I never took it on the camping trip I bought it for (brought a Mora and a Spyderco UKPK as well as an SAK, MT, and a Stockman), and still carried the '74-80. Then when the 110LT came out, I bought the Shield some months later, and it is pretty much my 110 of choice. No outdoor or in use photo--we had some problems again; that I don't want to get into involving the lunatic/alcoholic/suspected drug user my father married that lives next door; and we had to double check a survey--AGAIN!
I also had my ST300 on me, but that's in my backpack and it's in the closet now. The smaller Gerber I had in my shorts.

Take good care, buddy! Operation is never fun, but if you must, maybe it is better to do it earlier than when you are older and harder to recover...I have seen how long did some of my older family members have to heal first hand, it is no joke.

I had to have a total hip replacement because of my accident
And they only last for about 15 years so
I could be looking at 2 more operations for the hip
And at some point I need bone graft to my hand
As the bones are overlapping and are now stuck that way
Because they didn’t spot that I broke my hand while I was in hospital >:(

Well, not having a screwdriver of any type as I have carried some sort of multitool (be it Leatherman or SAK) since 1990. Haha. Missing scissors as well.
Plus the knife is small. I have big hands, making the little knife hard to manipulate. I committed to carrying the stockman this week at work. Tonight is my last night at work this week.
I am supposed to be going camping down in Chattanooga starting tomorrow, but not sure I can deal with the 90+ heat. My trailer/camper doesn’t have AC. We did just pick up a little portable unit, but I’m not convinced it will work.

(Its a Work in progress. Looks cleaner now after getting rid of pallets and cleaning the carpet up. There’s a couch across the back now....)
Anyway, I’ll have a few multitools of some sort around me should I need more than a knife can do. Probably carry either the stockman or my JE Made slippie for the weekend. That’s really the only two “traditional-type” knives I have.
Might look into a few cheapies like Schrade Uncle Henry with scissors and/or an Imperial stockman. Maybe a Barlow type. Not really sure.

Helping with patching a pair of shorts. Normally I would use scissors, but because of the challenge thought I try the RR Muskrat. It smoothly cut the patch.

I have not been impressed with the scissors on the Schrade Imperial Pen Knife. I couldn’t get them to cut anything other than paper and that required holding at a slight angle.

Your knife does not appear to be a full size STOCKMAN, and I believe I have one that size by Buck called a Trio. Same blades as a Stockman but smaller.
I’m not going to lie here... while the little traditional knife gets the job done, I do miss carrying a more substantial tool. Either my Wave or my Hercules. Even my Explorer!
Going to be a rough month for me. Haha

That Uncle Henry Steve is sure a pretty thing.
I don’t think I am cheating, but I am carrying a Rebar for the pliers and drivers. All blade work is being handled by TRAD in my pocket.
The pliers are required do to finger dexterity lost since being bitten by 277vac last summer.

Well, not having a screwdriver of any type as I have carried some sort of multitool (be it Leatherman or SAK) since 1990. Haha. Missing scissors as well.Nice....work in progress is looking good. I will be starting on my ProMaster 2500 very shortly. Checking out solar panels installation tomorrow! :tu:
Plus the knife is small. I have big hands, making the little knife hard to manipulate. I committed to carrying the stockman this week at work. Tonight is my last night at work this week.
I am supposed to be going camping down in Chattanooga starting tomorrow, but not sure I can deal with the 90+ heat. My trailer/camper doesn’t have AC. We did just pick up a little portable unit, but I’m not convinced it will work.

(Its a Work in progress. Looks cleaner now after getting rid of pallets and cleaning the carpet up. There’s a couch across the back now....)
Anyway, I’ll have a few multitools of some sort around me should I need more than a knife can do. Probably carry either the stockman or my JE Made slippie for the weekend. That’s really the only two “traditional-type” knives I have.
Might look into a few cheapies like Schrade Uncle Henry with scissors and/or an Imperial stockman. Maybe a Barlow type. Not really sure.

How is that Grohmann working out for you? Great I hope! :cheers:
Working out great so far, really liking this one, it's losing its edge a bit now though but will give it strop in the morning and should be good to go :tu:
Today however it got a day off, to mark the 4th i thought it would be fun to carry a US made folder, one i hadn't carried since i was a fool in April, and when i picked it up it was like meeting an old friend :D
Happy 4th to all on the other side of the water :cheers:
I had a good dig through my toy box and found another American icon, a bit worse for wear but still easily recognisable :tu:

Thank you, Steve! :cheers:
That's also the reason why I want to try out this knife, to see how well it works with one hand opening. I have yet to figure out a way to open that one-arm blade with fingers, but it's easy to open when latching onto corner of my pocket.
And Ron, welcome to the challenge! :waving:

"Apparently" developed after the US Civil War for soldiers who had lost an arm. The shape allows one hand opening by catching the tip on the corner of a pocket or edge of something.
Known as a One arm Bandit or razor knife and I say apparently as I don't think there is any definitive proof that this is the case. :dunno:
I've heard this too, it might have been developed by Wolstenholm, but like you Steve, I don't have any proof of that either. It seems to always be referred to, in regard to blade shape, as a razor in the old catalogues, but I wonder if that description is just down to marketing laziness? It would be good to find something in writing.

Well, my camping trip was cut short. Just a few minutes after pulling out of town, pulling my trailer/camper, my truck started chugging and threw a code. Engine light on.
Limped back into town and had code read. Something about the VCT valve being bad. Looks like I can replace the two VCT solenoids myself but the parts will be costly.
So we switched plans and heading to same area (Chattanooga, TN) but staying in a hotel.
So no knife use today, but my JE Made slip joint is with me!

I also agree with comis that we live in the 'Golden Age' of pocket knives. We have so many good choices of such good quality. It's sad to see some of the grand older companies are gone, and for some of those remaining the quality has slipped, but in general we are spoiled for choice.

Day5I am really liking that blade style! :like: :cheers:
This morning I was playing with a new GEC I got, #6 Pemberton, which is a pinky-sized coke bottle slipjoint, and the CRKT homefront, a knife that could be completely dissembled and re-assembled without tools in seconds.
I can't help but to marvel how far the knife industry has grown for the last century and the abundant of options we could choose from nowadays. We indeed are living in a golden era for knife enthusiasts.

We had four participants for the first ICC. I assigned each player a suit from a standard deck of cards:
01 - Pomsbz : Hearts
02 - RF52 : Spades
03 - David : Diamonds
04 - Alan K. : Clubs
The deck was thoroughly shuffled and then cut.......Show content

This Solingen made folding hunter will replace my usual BuSchroder SAK during the challenge.
Today I didn´t need it (but the day isn´t over yet).
The Hubertus (model HU12.321.HH.00) doesn´t have an awl and I´m sure that´s going to cause me some trouble.
It does have a corkscrew and a bottle opener so I might drink away any painful memories of having no awl. :D

Power went out; from 8PM yesterday to 1:50 AM this morning .Thus, I wasn't able to get my photo in. It went out somewhere close to around here, but Appalachian Power had to cut ours in order to fix the line down. Trees are down everywhere from the thunderstorm; but luckily only a few branches in the yard. The fields are likely a mess--I'll have to check for fallen trees later today. Thus, I'd better get the chainsaw up and running.

Yet the 108mm German Army Knife, which is, in my opinion, based off and an improvement on those old traditional German hunting knives--does have an awl.
:like: That knife has been on my wish list for quite some time--except the first time I looked at getting into one I had a bad case of sticker shock. At least Hubertus does have a four-blade "work knife" in their Professional range for about $40; except it does use "bird's eye" rivets which pop apart very easily.

I have another one by Herbertz, model no 258411, with the same implements as the Hubertus and a gutting blade added, for less than half the price of the Hubertus. The Hubertus is of a better build quality.

I could easily open that blade utilizing the corner of my pants pocket/clothing/table top, but so far no luck with just using fingers alone. The backspring is genuinely a lot stronger than 93mm SAK(pull force of 7 vs 5.5, 10 being welded shut), and the opening tab is too pointy to be finger friendly. I live in a busy urban environment(definitely not knife friendly), and to avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention, I usually just use two hands to open my blade, regardless it has spyder hole or thumbstud.

Currently, I'm tied between getting a Higo Nogami and a Douk Douk. I like my Opinels, and my smaller version of a Mercator; Okapis are really poorly finished (more like unfinished completely, including a good edge); but you can't beat under $10 for a 5" lock blade knife in decent carbon steel

I think that taboo has now been discarded. Especially in the case of Italian foods. So, no faux pas as far as I'm concerned.
Besides, when did you ever shy away from engaging in a bit of taboo behavior....?

The Girl Scout knife was my first knife and it is from the 70s. If by mint green you mean the middle knife, that was 80s.

I could easily open that blade utilizing the corner of my pants pocket/clothing/table top, but so far no luck with just using fingers alone. The backspring is genuinely a lot stronger than 93mm SAK(pull force of 7 vs 5.5, 10 being welded shut), and the opening tab is too pointy to be finger friendly. I live in a busy urban environment(definitely not knife friendly), and to avoid attracting the wrong kind of attention, I usually just use two hands to open my blade, regardless it has spyder hole or thumbstud.
Thanks for the info, I’ll have to keep that in mind.
My Case Sodbuster opens easily with one hand:
(https://i.imgur.com/oPIC5nw.jpg)
I'm a big Buck 110 fan and open my 110's this way habitually. Second nature now. :tu:
That is cool, but the Sodbuster’s blade would be too long for some of the areas I travel frequently (3in limit). But the Sodbuster Jr might work. I also need one with either a strong detent or back spring to avoid the “centrifugal opening” (flicking) that some LEOs interpret to be a gravity knife.

These are our only two working chainsaws; we have a couple Poulans that I know still work good, they just haven't been used--that and several McCullochs and Homelites that have not been used in several years; some do not run at all; in fact one was run over by Granddad's old Massey Ferguson track loader (we traded it in about 20 years ago, along with the tractor we had then on a Deere 5400); as well as an old Homelite with a metal body I found in a shed. Been meaning to get some of those working by robbing some of the others for parts. These ain't had any warranty since long before I was born, so I guess I can dive right in. With Granddad's help and informaiton found online, I might figure it out.

Day 5: Got up in the mountain to check the fences. A few trees were down, some near the fences, but nothing damaged the fences. Was going to get them off, but I grabbed the Stihl MS250 in error. It one; is a PITA to start anyway; and the dealer may have messed it up. We have a 011AV as well, from the 1980s, and it has never given us a problem. I can start it without any issue, but the chain has been neglected and is dull. Guess the MS250 is off to the OTHER Stihl dealer, and I'll sharpen up the chain on the 011AV.
These are our only two working chainsaws; we have a couple Poulans that I know still work good, they just haven't been used--that and several McCullochs and Homelites that have not been used in several years; some do not run at all; in fact one was run over by Granddad's old Massey Ferguson track loader (we traded it in about 20 years ago, along with the tractor we had then on a Deere 5400); as well as an old Homelite with a metal body I found in a shed.

... Also... a wharncliffe is traditionally a smaller pruning type blade (designed specifically to be used as a gentleman's whittling knife), but it's slender with a straighter edge and doesn't have the hawkbill-ness... if you know what I mean. The blade's also quite small in relation to the handle... Also... You know what, I'll find a pic...

I like the looks of the Grohman. Classic and functional, with tasteful materials. No, I think they did nicely. Seems like a knife that will improve with age and use.
I do agree with you that it would be nice if the second, smaller blade were a Wharncliffe or traditional Spearpoint pen blade shape. Still, a lovely knife. :like:

To me, I feel the German made ones are pretty good; my Grandddad's brother had one from the '70s (marked "WEST GERMANY") that was still going strong, and while he has passed away, one of his nephews is still using it. I started that saw myself once, and was surprised at how quick it started. Yet, those made in their Virginia Beach facility, in my opinion, are inferior. I'm looking for one of those older saws, I know I won't be able to find one on eBay or at flea markets since they're valued so highly--so guess I need to start checking yard and estate sales.
Our current oldest tractor is a 1996; a neighbor has a D9H from the 1960s, and there's a junkyard behind a New Holland dealership a couple hours away that has probably a half-dozen tractors from the 1920s-1930s.

Well... I did say it was on the cusp. :whistle:
However, in my defence, it's not a very typical lambsfoot as there is no clear change in angle on the spine (if you know what I mean) that's such a big characteristic of the English pattern, it has a continuous uninterrupted line to the tip a bit like a wharncliffe. Looking at it though, I think you're all right, it's not a proper wharny, like Nix said, it's not acute enough... if David says it's a lambsfoot, then I'm happy to go with that. :tu:

Come to think of it. Isn't that knife what A Wright calls a Senator model? If so I think they call that blade a modified lambfoot. I'm on break at work will have to research more when I get home.

What's the other blade, is that... it is, it's a bloody wharncliffe, isn't it?! :ahhh

It's good, but not great, it doesn't have a lot of information, but it's does have plenty of (almost entirely) old catalogue reproductions. Annoyingly it misses quite a few major manufacturers though... Like Queen and Camillus for example. :facepalm:

In 1970, that was more or less the beginning of knife collecting as a mainstream hobby. But, both Queen and Camillus had both been in business for more than 50 years in 1970. I guess Queen or Camillus were not considered collectible back then?

I think, as a publishing company, they just included the catalogues they had access to. I don't think they did much external research. Still good though. :tu:

Was out site-seeing here in Chattanooga so not much use.
Did use it once, but could not get a picture. Have to laugh, my wife was not really looking and stuck her credit card into the cash slot at a ticket machine. Haha!!!!
Took my JE Made slippie out and was able to dig it out of the slot. Haha!!!!

#1) Allowing me to see a lot of really interesting and gorgeous knives.
#2) Giving me a greater appreciation for the folks that now (many of you...) and once did carry only a traditional folder as their only tool.
Each day it is truly a struggle for me to not grab my Wave, my Hercules, my GAK or even my Pioneer X!!!
The first several days of the challenge I carried only my little no-name stockman, or mini stockman or whatever it is. It got the job done, more or less. However, I did not feel adequately prepared when carrying only that knife in my pocket. It’s limited and small.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190706/6393c57b82f640550678c3b5dea72b19.jpg)
The only real thing it had going for me was that it was old and not expensive, so I wasn’t really worried about losing or damaging it.
Since Thursday, I’ve been carrying my JE Made slip joint. It’s great if I need to CUT something, but that is just about all it’s capable of.
It’s also a pricey knife (for me!!)($175) and due to the maker being so far away, in China, getting it repaired would be a nightmare. So, yes, I do worry about it.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190706/91f9a695fdd8651a6a8732366aaacec8.jpg)
Today, for instance, using it to dig my wife’s credit card out of the ticket machine had me a nervous wreck. What if I gouge it?? What if I break the tip??
Now, I didn’t (and wouldn’t) hesitate to use it. I knew it’s shortcomings when I chose to buy it. I didn’t buy it for a shelf Queen. I bought it to use.
But a big part of me would rather have something else in my pocket. On this trip, the OG Wave is in the glovebox of the Highlander and my Hercules (and Pioneer X) is in the suitcase with my clothes.
Just in case. However, when I grab something to cut with or leave the hotel, the traditional knife is what gets dropped in my pocket. As per the challenge.
This one IS going to be a challenge for me!!

An old fave today...
Schrade USA 194OT
(http://gallery.multitool.org/var/resizes/SAKGuy%27s-Album/Schrade%20USA%20194OT%207-6-19.jpg?m=1562440080)
Hadn't had this one out in a while. After I shot the pic and was "fixin'" it, I noticed green gunk in the front scale pin from when I used to carry it in an ancient half rotten leather neck pouch. :D
Also noticed that the blade tip had dropped slightly out of focus... :facepalm: I'm still learning the limitations of the camera on this new phone. Geeze, give me and old Nikon or a Leica...even a View Camera and let me throw the focus where I want it...
At least I could of stopped down a little.... :bnghd:

Two things this challenge is doing for me...
#1) Allowing me to see a lot of really interesting and gorgeous knives.
#2) Giving me a greater appreciation for the folks that now (many of you...) and once did carry only a traditional folder as their only tool.
Each day it is truly a struggle for me to not grab my Wave, my Hercules, my GAK or even my Pioneer X!!!
The first several days of the challenge I carried only my little no-name stockman, or mini stockman or whatever it is. It got the job done, more or less. However, I did not feel adequately prepared when carrying only that knife in my pocket. It’s limited and small.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190706/6393c57b82f640550678c3b5dea72b19.jpg)
The only real thing it had going for me was that it was old and not expensive, so I wasn’t really worried about losing or damaging it.
Since Thursday, I’ve been carrying my JE Made slip joint. It’s great if I need to CUT something, but that is just about all it’s capable of.
It’s also a pricey knife (for me!!)($175) and due to the maker being so far away, in China, getting it repaired would be a nightmare. So, yes, I do worry about it.

I carried one pocket knife for 44 years, then oldest son gave me a WAVE in 2004. I fondled it but never really carried it. I always had dedicated tools with me as a service technician repairing computer mainframes down to mini computers including PCs and Network appliances.
Then moved to construction type work in 2011, found a half price ST300 and began using. Then found this site, and never understood HOW managed all those years with only a blade (broken tip and AWL)
But, then my FATHER had ONLY one pocket knife. A Muskrat style. Two identical blades. Always a sharp blade available. One knife, same knife, for ALL tasks.
Yes it is possible, just that reading the internet makes us wanting MORE.

I completely agree, but you are doing better than me.
I started out with my RR Muskrat, which is awesome for cutting most things, but that is it. I switched to my Girl Scout knife which has the bottle opener (slot driver tip) and can opener. It is better but still not fully capable compared to what I’m used to.
What I have taken to doing is at least trying to do what I need to with the traditional knife while carrying other tools that meet the functions I most frequently used on my SAK. Needless to say that it is definitely not as convenient as having just one tool.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190707/89422e847a802584b792f7ae4da45d53.jpg)
As far as the use of expensive tools. I’m of the same thinking as Nix - their tools and meant to be used. If I lose or ruin them, I will kick myself, but I would kick myself more if I spent the money to have a really nice tool that I never used out of fear of damaging it.
Although, I will confess the SAK Pioneer X did get used for my paracord work today, because that is what is kept with all my other paracord tools so it was grab without thinking.

Saturday, it's been a slow day, went to watch Spyderman Far from Home which was pretty good, and started organizing all the spacers I got for knife/SAK modding. Posing here is the GEC #97 in yellow rose. Call me traditional, I think the knife may look better in stag/bone covers. One of my favorite carry/tool at home is the back scratcher in the middle from Cabela.

Some really really nice knives being discussed here. The traditional is so appealing as a gentleman's knife. That said, after a week of carry, I'm struggling to bond with my choice of carry, the Buck two bladed stockman. The steel and (custom) grind is great, it looks incredible but the main blade is rather short for a knife with a 4" handle with a cutting edge of 2.48". Falling short for cutting a bun or slicing an apple. Weirdly my custom SAK (91mm) which seems to have an even shorter blade (2.4" cutting edge), doesn't have this limitation. It doesn't fall short with those tasks. Can't explain it. Perhaps due to the size of the handle I'm trying to make longer cuts than I actually can? That should fix itself in my subconscious with time.

Pomsbz, I'm having a hard time envisioning what the issue is. I completely believe you, but I don't quite get it. I actually like a longer handle on my knives. Maybe if I used it for a while I'd understand..... Hey, there's an idea: send it to me and I'll carry it for a year or so..... :pok: >:D
Seriously, I think one of the great things about these challenges is using a tool for an extended period of time and learning how to use it and what it does feel.....or not so well. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the sweet lookin' Buck at the end of the challenge. :tu:

Blade shape can make a big difference.
I agree, but perhaps in this case (or should I say in this Buck?), the blade and edge geometry may be playing a bigger role. I don't see a ton of difference between a Spear point and a Clip. There are, no doubts, but they require subtle adjustments. But it can sometimes take me a bit more adjustment to learn to use blades of different thicknesses, grinds, and edges. Switching from a hollow Saber grind to a Scandi grind always seems a bit weird to me.
But I'd have to actually handle the Buck to be sure....if you know what I mean.... :pok: >:D

I quite like a small knife with a longer handle too. When I was a kiddie I had a budding knife with a really unusual little falcata type blade on a long slender handle - it was probably my all time favourite knife, come to think of it.

Quick verification needed...
For this challenge, is the Camillus demo knife allowed??
I think it's okay, kind of like an old boy scout knife would be fine as well.
:iagree: Lovely old Demo, zrxoa1. :like:

I’m liking the size of this Case Trapper so much!
I really like my Trappers....yes, I got a second as a back-up...... :facepalm:
I'm really liking this knife Ray, you've got me thinking :facepalm:
I sense that you, my friend, are getting close to the point of no return..... You are a fairly normal and healthy human being. If you aren't careful, you'll end up like David or Fuzzbuckets or.....worse.....Steve.....
I´ll be carrying a trapper today. :like:
And, now we hear from yet another enabler......... But then, the Trapper is a knife one can really grow to love, so it's understandable.

Nothing like fresh Pennsylvania corn. Jersey corn is good, too, but fresh PA corn in summer is a real treat. :drool:

Just thinking out loud here....probably not a good idea....but I think a good handle makes for a good knife. And, for me at least, I think a longer handle give a bit more control. The Case Sodbuster I'm using for this challenge has a nice long handle. At first I wasn't sure I liked the 'hook' at the pommel end, but I'm starting to appreciate it a bit more with some grips, e.g. hand back on the pommel, pinky in the hook, index finger extended. And there is enough handle that I can slide up toward the hilt/ricasso for other grips.
I think one of the reasons I like larger knives is that I have XL hands, and large knives usually come with large handles.

I was accidentally surfing the shops on the interweb yesterday. I saw a few GEC Bull-thingies in orange, but wasn't tempted. Now, I really like an orange handled knife; great for finding a knife when you put it down in the weeds, etc.... But for some reason I think the GEC Bull-thingies look best in natural, brown, or even red micarta. So I'm holding out......
Ah, saw an OD version, too. But that didn't float my canoe, either.
Holding Fast.
Probably.

GEC seems to do runs of the 71 Bull Nose fairly often so maybe you wait wont be to long. I like the 21 Bull Buster better cause I have good sized hands. Than dont run those very often. I think there was a close to a 4 year gap between runs last time.

I was leaning toward the Buster, being large-handed myself. Maybe I'll send GEC an email and request another run, soon. I'm sure they'd do that for me....... :rofl:

Pomsbz, I'm having a hard time envisioning what the issue is. I completely believe you, but I don't quite get it. I actually like a longer handle on my knives. Maybe if I used it for a while I'd understand..... Hey, there's an idea: send it to me and I'll carry it for a year or so..... :pok: >:D

It's just the blade seeming to cut like a shorter edge than it actually is. Or me subconsciously assuming it has more edge because I've got my hand full of handle. For example, breakfast this morning (I might as well do today's pic :D)
Day 7.

The blade is in all the way, I cut all the way round and the centre is still attached. You wouldn't think that would be possible right?

Nix your other option is the GEC SFO for Smith and Sons "Mudbug" It is a 21 sized lock back Sodbuster It has thinner profile so carries in the pocket better than the fatter Bull Buster. They come in a larger sollecton of colors. Lately they have a pre-order in November. Then the ones that are left go on sale late January or early Febuary. They sell of quickly. Ya need to be on your toes to score one. Here is a link to their Mudbug (http://www.smithandsonsknives.com/mudbug.html) page.

Oh, it is easy to open and close one-handed :D :tu:
This is a solid knife!

Day 7: The Sodbuster doing some work, shucking corn for dinner tonight.
Enjoy, fresh out of the field corn is still about four weeks away here, always a treat :cheers:

Wow, you got a good cut in there. I imagine the bone will heal fine...as long as this doesn't become a habit with you.......
Yeah, I should concentrate on Trads I guess. They don't usually have saws :think:

Yup, the ole one two punch. :D
Post by: Greg Jones on July 07, 2019, 06:51:29 PM
Well done Sir... :hatsoff:
I'm ok... just... missing the usefulness of my left hand. And thinking about it... they'll have to cut it open again in a few days :facepalm:
Oh, the x-rays showed some weird scratch marks on the bone :dunno:
Just pieced this together while catching up, hope you get sorted out soon

I'm sure you guys know me well enough now to know that I like to 'improve' the vent holes in disposable coffee cups. This is usually a job that gets assigned to a SAK's awl.
Today Mrs Nix dragged me to the Hippie Food store where they sell some stuff that sounds like food and some stuff that sounds like it as alternative uses. But they do make and sell some good coffee. After pouring a cup, I realized that the lid would need to be improved.
I got a sideways look when I pulled out my Sodbuster...which in a Hippie Food store looks surprisingly large. That sideways glance turned into a quizzical stare when I set the Soddie down on the counter to photograph my efforts...

Day 5, cut up an old Rocky boot box (to get rid of it) that I quite often used in lieu of a cutting mat, especially for using tape to laminate certain items--i.e. photos. Got all kinds of residue on it (the tape was around a half-inch layer built up on the top) and my Weekender trying to cut it up. A utility knife likely would have snapped a blade given how hard the job was.

This trapper was my 1st pocket knife I bought because it was slimmer than my Cub Scout knife.
This is 56 and was used for skinning my rabbits each hunting season. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190708/aa31994430f9cfc7ff1a2c6f80133f47.jpg)

Saint Hubertus is the patron saint of hunters, much like Saint Peter of fishermen.
It´s no wonder then that Hubertus manufacture mostly hunting knives.
Personally, I like hunting with a camera, not a rifle.
The odd piece of metal sticking out at the back of the knife is in fact the backlock lever.

The blade is marked Sabre, Japan, 617.
I used the Skinning blade most and fouled the belly of the blade on a grinder a long time ago. Takes a edge and held its sharpness very well.
I trapped Muskrats by my grandparents to keep the rodents from destroying the drainage ditch banks. I received about .75 for each skin, I thought for a bounty, learned they worth twice that.
The rabbits were gathered with my 20ga. I received .30 ea for them. The fur was wanted for linings to gloves by two sisters that lived at nearby farm. If I did not have the dogs I would have snared rabbits.

I don´t think it serves any other purpose than to unlock the blade. However, comparing to e.g. the Buck 110 knife with the countersunk locking lever I think this may be an older design. Which is odd because I always thought Buck was the inventor of backlock knives. Maybe someone else knows.

Used the JE Made to open a package from Delta Faucet. New seals for my leaking 17 series shower faucet. All while watching some Supernatural with my boys!
Not sure if I’ll carry the JE to work. More like the Camillus Demo or my Buck 110 LT.

I don´t think it serves any other purpose than to unlock the blade. However, comparing to e.g. the Buck 110 knife with the countersunk locking lever I think this may be an older design. Which is odd because I always thought Buck was the inventor of backlock knives. Maybe someone else knows.The back lock was around before Buck, I don't remember anymore where or who first made it.
For more on Saint Hubertus see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubertus
Buck gets credit for making it popular with the 110.

How quickly a blade develops a patina, and the variations in the color of the patina, depends on what you cut with it. Acid foods like fruits with discolor a blade faster than just about anything else.
And the patina will likely change and deepen over time.
Patina is a good thing and helps to prevent more corrosive rusting (to a small degree).
Good way to start yours! :like:

Finally got that tape residue off the 110LT using a probably 20 year old can of Duck Adhesive Remover, a paper towel, and a fingernail. I also cleaned and oiled it after using it (the label recommended cleaning anything you put the solvent on). Usually, cutting some fruit works, but when it's heavy, it won't come off. Thus, I have to break out the heavy duty stuff.

That will be nice. My Dad gave me this one as my first knife. There are sometimes decent deals. A few months ago I found a good deal on a few of the 2012 100yr knives that I gave my Mom (who is a leader) and a couple of my nieces. I wish Victorinox would make some like they do for the Boy Scouts or that it was easier to find nice ones, but I guess there just isn’t the demand.

Used the GEC toothpick for opening coffee packet, and just took a few shots with it in hand. I have a medium size hand(medium Mechanix glove), and this 4" handled toothpick is a perfect fit into my hand. Traditionally, toothpick was used for dressing small game and fish, but not to be confused with the 'fish knife' where usually there are some distinct feature on knife to help with fishing(for example, scaler on the swedge)
From what I've read, there are different theories on the lineage of toothpick--some say it is a decedent of French Laguiole, some say it is a popular 'fighting' knife of the South, so it could very well be a decedent of Spanish Navajo fighting knife(also called "tickler", because it supposedly could fit thru rib cage to the heart). I think both theories are possible, but personally, I don't think it is much of a 'fighting knife' since the slipjoint has no lock and the thin chassis may be prone to damage when used hard, rather I think it was just really popular in the South during the period, and everyone just used what they had to fight with.
I originally didn't have much expectation on the knife, since I always like the more symmetric shapes(like the canoe, cigar, congress) or straight lines knife(barlow, jack knife). But wanna don't judge the knife by its look, I am glad to have gotten it, because it did give me a healthy glimpse into why this is a traditional classic. :)

I like how the powder horn shape fits into the hand, it gives a very direct tactile feedback where the edge is facing while the thin chassis rotate easily in hand. Personally, a very round narrow profiled handle could be difficult to tell which way is which, especially in the dark, but this solves the dilemma. The serpentine chassis with the powder horn end is really ergonomic in hand.
(https://i.imgur.com/VSYTxaF.jpg)
Flipping the knife around, the horn hooked securely onto the flush of my palm. I found the pinched bolster does invite my fingers to choke up on the blade, which is great for more detail work.

Bonus use, the horn is perfect as a pill crusher. :D

No other carbon steel I've used affected food like that Doul-Douk.I've read somewhere that certain states outlaw using carbon blade in the kitchen for food, maybe that's the reason why? I almost never use any of my carbon blade for food, especially anything acidic.
I know a lot of folks like the patina on their carbon blade, I don't mind them if it is purposefully forced, but some are these knives are just too pretty to put a patina on.

Day 08:
Used the edge of the Sodbuster to gently scrape a splinter out of my finger. Managed to avoid cutting my thumb off. Which was nice.
No action shots, though. I needed both for the procedure. :D

This is my 'prettier' fedora.

I have fedora's, outback and flat caps and have just added a Kangol ripstop 504 to my collection. A great summer cap, folds up neatly into my EDC bag.

Started to patina a Douk-Douk 4 or 5 years ago but had to stop....that carbon steel they used imparted a "tinny" taste to the apple. No other carbon steel I've used affected food like that Doul-Douk.
I had a Northwoods made by GEC which imparted a truly dreadful carbon taste to apples. I swore off carbon as a result. I value my apples more than any kind of tradition!

Day9Thats a great little review. :like:
Used the GEC toothpick for opening coffee packet, and just took a few shots with it in hand. I have a medium size hand(medium Mechanix glove), and this 4" handled toothpick is a perfect fit into my hand. Traditionally, toothpick was used for dressing small game and fish, but not to be confused with the 'fish knife' where usually there are some distinct feature on knife to help with fishing(for example, scaler on the swedge)
From what I've read, there are different theories on the lineage of toothpick--some say it is a decedent of French Laguiole, some say it is a popular 'fighting' knife of the South, so it could very well be a decedent of Spanish Navajo fighting knife(also called "tickler", because it supposedly could fit thru rib cage to the heart). I think both theories are possible, but personally, I don't think it is much of a 'fighting knife' since the slipjoint has no lock and the thin chassis may be prone to damage when used hard, rather I think it was just really popular in the South during the period, and everyone just used what they had to fight with.
I originally didn't have much expectation on the knife, since I always like the more symmetric shapes(like the canoe, cigar, congress) or straight lines knife(barlow, jack knife). But wanna don't judge the knife by its look, I am glad to have gotten it, because it did give me a healthy glimpse into why this is a traditional classic. :)
(https://i.imgur.com/2Glkc9I.jpg)
I like how the powder horn shape fits into the hand, it gives a very direct tactile feedback where the edge is facing while the thin chassis rotate easily in hand. Personally, a very round narrow profiled handle could be difficult to tell which way is which, especially in the dark, but this solves the dilemma. The serpentine chassis with the powder horn end is really ergonomic in hand.
(https://i.imgur.com/VSYTxaF.jpg)
Flipping the knife around, the horn hooked securely onto the flush of my palm. I found the pinched bolster does invite my fingers to choke up on the blade, which is great for more detail work.
(https://i.imgur.com/2kGzJEj.jpg)
Bonus use, the horn is perfect as a pill crusher. :D

Two or three years ago I was looking at some Ka-Bars and the owner told me about the Dog’s Head. I then found them on the internet and have been looking since. My dad carried a Barlow at work so I knew about them and when the challenge came up I asked my brother if he had it, which he didn’t.
Once the challenge started, the GEC’s caught my attention and then when I hit in Barlow...this one came up and that ended my 2 or 3 year search! The Stag horn’s were a bonus as I have never owned a stag knife period! They are quite unique.

Pickle Juice was the original Gator Aide. It's full of potassium, salt, and other minerals, and I've made use of it myself on especially hot days.I didn’t know that...and this year when I sweated my shirt had collected the salt evaporating from me. That was a first! :cheers:

That's unique Ron :tu:
Solingen traditionals (at least those in my collection) are manufactured, or hand made, and unlike e.g. GEC knives they do show imperfections.
So most of them are unique indeed even if you don´t consider the natural variations in handle materials.

Most of my life i thought pickles were there for one reason, to bin..you open the burger and rake through it till you find them, pick them out and throw them away, that was their purpose in life, it's only really in the last couple of years or so that i started eating them, now i think they do indeed add something to a burger and while i wouldn't say i loved them i can now at least eat them and kinda miss them if they are not there, i will pass on the pickle juice though :D:rofl:

Ron Who - Day 6 - Tuesday Special
Traditional Solingen backlock by Hartkopf (with Balbach damast and ivory scales).

John Madden used to have his players drink pickle juice during football games. :tu:
Pickle Juice was the original Gator Aide. It's full of potassium, salt, and other minerals, and I've made use of it myself on especially hot days.
Agree. Pickle juice works well for during sports and workouts.
And for after sports and workout, as a recovery drink, chocolate milk works well.
Pickle juice also goes well with whiskey (pickleback).

The Girl Scout knife got double coffee duty today. Folgers is for everyday and the Black Rifle is for when I actually get to sit and enjoy.

Now that the photos are up...pulling what little hair I have left...I can tell you the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.
Two or three years ago I was looking at some Ka-Bars and the owner told me about the Dog’s Head. I then found them on the internet and have been looking since. My dad carried a Barlow at work so I knew about them and when the challenge came up I asked my brother if he had it, which he didn’t.
Once the challenge started, the GEC’s caught my attention and then when I hit in Barlow...this one came up and that ended my 2 or 3 year search! The Stag horn’s were a bonus as I have never owned a stag knife period! They are quite unique.
Last one...

Tomorrow, I'm probably going to go back to the LT, as well as ditching pretty much everything but the Buck, Rebar and Mini Cobras (and/or wear cargo pants). My grandmother's got a doctor's appointment, and since the particular hospital the clinic is a part of has "No Weapons of Any Kind" policy plastered around every door in every facility they own, I try to make sure there is no MT or knife sheath on my belt; in case I have to go to the restroom while waiting in the car. Personally, I prefer just to drive the extra mile into the town center to use it at Hardee's; though I did have something on my belt once at this clinic, and no one said a thing.

Day 9. Carry and no use. The leather 110 sheath is in storage, the black/white nylon one this 110 came with I couldn't remember where I put it (these days, sheaths are kept in the box with paperwork, but at the time I bought this 110, I didn't do that), so I used the black/blue sheath the Shield came with (which I put back up, since I cleaned and oiled it yesterday. The washing machine had to be fixed (under warranty and by someone who knew what they were doing), and just in case the guy forgot something, I went a bit into overkill with what I carried.

Day 9. Carry and no use. The leather 110 sheath is in storage, the black/white nylon one this 110 came with I couldn't remember where I put it (these days, sheaths are kept in the box with paperwork, but at the time I bought this 110, I didn't do that), so I used the black/blue sheath the Shield came with (which I put back up, since I cleaned and oiled it yesterday. The washing machine had to be fixed (under warranty and by someone who knew what they were doing), and just in case the guy forgot something, I went a bit into overkill with what I carried.
Tomorrow, I'm probably going to go back to the LT, as well as ditching pretty much everything but the Buck, Rebar and Mini Cobras (and/or wear cargo pants). My grandmother's got a doctor's appointment, and since the particular hospital the clinic is a part of has "No Weapons of Any Kind" policy plastered around every door in every facility they own, I try to make sure there is no MT or knife sheath on my belt; in case I have to go to the restroom while waiting in the car. Personally, I prefer just to drive the extra mile into the town center to use it at Hardee's; though I did have something on my belt once at this clinic, and no one said a thing.

Been up since 3am this morning for the little guy and went straight to work, finally get sometime off to enjoy a cup of hot ginger tea while playing with my GEC toothpick.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes a human body is a balance between hot and cold energy. I used to quench thirst with anything cold in hot summer days, but TCM doctors would have me believe that's like quenching a red hot steel with cold water, and it might not be the best for the body. Instead, sometimes a hot drink could relieve the body and make it more attune to the weather. I am only starting to understand this as I grow a bit older.
Btw, do people ever pick their teeth with this pattern because it is called a toothpick?

The body wants to keep temperature stable. If it's hot outside it tries to cool down by sweating (evaporating on the big skin area).
The body's core temperature is kept fairly stable always. Drinking cold fluids will cause a sudden drop of the body's core temperature and even while sweating outside the body needs to warm up the cold fluids then.
I've heart the Tuareg like to drink a not too hot peppermint tea.

I think it is still common for guys who work outside to drink hot coffee during the day. The theory being that a warm drink will prompt you to sweat, which cools you off.

In mid-December 1944, Allied forces were surprised by a massive German offensive through the Ardennes Forrest that created a “bulge” in the Allied lines. Caught in what would become known as the “Battle of the Bulge,” the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Armed Forces was holed up in Bastogne while German armored divisions encircled the town. Outnumbered, outgunned, and running out of food, ammunition, and medical supplies, the embattled assistant division commander, Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe, faced bleak prospects.
On December 22, the American troops were sent an ultimatum from the German forces outside of the town, demanding “the honorable surrender” of the town within two hours. General McAuliffe reply was brief and succinct:
“To the German Commander:
N U T S !
The American Commander”
Having made their position clear, the Americans dug in and waited for the attack. Contrary to German expectations, the 101st held out and reinforcements arrived in the form of the US Army’s 4th Armored Division. The Battle of the Bulge continued for several more weeks, with thousands of casualties on both sides, but by the end of January 1945, the Allies had retaken all the territory lost to the Germans and were headed toward Berlin.

Getting ready for work. Today’s work tools will once again be my OG Wave and my Buck 110LT.
No use so far, well not from the Buck. I did use the Wave to help take apart my Delta shower faucet so I could replace the seals.
Ok, I just used the LT to open some food..

I probably shouldn't admit this but.... it used to have, it was cheap crap from Halfords, i only had it a few weeks and it stopped taking a charge, i cracked it open and checked it the battery itself was fine so i cut out every wire that didn't need to be there and put it back together, i now just charge it in reverse through the clamps, works great now...achhh who needs circuit protection, USB ports, battery tester and volt meters anyway ;) i left the LED light there though, thought that might come in handy :tu:

Post by: Nix on July 11, 2019, 04:52:07 AM
That is actually a plant that looks like Rosemary. It's called a 'Curry' plant and does smell like the spices one finds in some curries. However, I am growing a some Rosemary......and yes...it will be used...if not in this challenge perhaps a later one. (That Rosemary is slow growing stuff!) :D

Day 10: Wenger Wednesday and Wood Handled Wednesday were covered, and I didn't even need to prepare or change much. The el-cheapo had been on my keys for about a week, I laid out the Swiss Sportsman as this week's SAK carry, and the 2016 110 had been my main 110 this week as well. Did see my local Lowe's is now selling the new ebony 110s with a leather sheath for under $40. May pick up some extra work around the farm, and pick one up before the end of the month.Nice set of tools! I think I had got a SAK from LL Bean too, but can't remember it was a Wenger or not, gonna go look it up. :D

You know, I think the opinion proud sheepsfoot blades varies a lot. In a way, being up high can be a pain when putting a lot of cutting force on the knife. I personally like them that way, as it can be easier to use without the nail nick. I've noticed on a lot of Stockmen where it was proud, it seemed to be the most-used blade.Nice 3318 by the way. I've been meaning to get one of those for quite some time. A dealer has a pink lightweight version on sale for $15. I don't like the color, but it's easily spotted if dropped.

I kind of feel the same way, because I am a glove wearer at work sometimes, and I know farm hands wear gloves a lot, so the proud sheepsfoot makes sense. But, that said, I am not going to be using that particular Stockman for most work-related stuff, since I generally need thicker blades for heavy scraping/picking and what-not. While carrying the Stockman a couple of days, the most prominent thought in my mind was how proud the blade was. None of my other Stockmans sit even close to as high as that Case blade did. I used a HSS file and pocket stone to grind down the tang bump. It is still accessible without using the nail-nick, but not quite as easy as it was before. With the blade sitting lower, I now feel more like using the other blades more. :)

Thank you! :cheers:

Nice use! Maybe it's just me, but I find it difficult to have perfect control of a non-serrated blade not to 'skid' off the material when push cutting it with force. I end up using 'chest cut' whenever trying opening clam package to exercise control.

I end up using 'chest cut' whenever trying opening clam package to exercise control.The Sodbuster jr cuts very well so didn't have to use much force, and it's much easier to just make a hole and follow the outer edge of the package

For a fun GAW Challenge, let's do some whittling with the Trad Knife of your choice. Starting today and ending next Wednesday, I'm offering up this beautiful small Svord Peasant folder to the winner of the Whittling Contest. The winner will be decided on by the judges, namely me, Nix, and Steve on creativity, difficulty, and detail. Have fun! :woohoo:
Cool idea for another In-challenge Challenge. :like:
This would be ICC #3. (Oh, and a reminder, ICC #2, the Campfire Challenge, is still in play.....)
So...how does the Whittling challenge work, Barry?

Ray, I had a feeling you would like the world of traditionals. Glad you've jumped into this challenge, although it may be the deep end of the knife collecting pool............. >:DI am very glad I am doing this challenge! Have learned a lot in a short amount of time. Seen a lot of great looking knives thats for sure. And because it got me to looking on the net I found that Ka-Bar Dog’s Head Barlow, which I had been looking for quite a while.
As we have both said, doing a challenge where it is not model specific, is always more fun. Variety is the spice of life!
Going back to a model specific challenge is going to be kinda disappointing because you already know what to expect.

Had a busy afternoon working in the crawlspace under the house to lay out cables for electricity to the front and back garden. The crawlspace is a bit dark and muddy, so I was wearing rubber boots and rain pants while I was down there, but even though I did use my knife and multitool for cutting and stripping wires I didn't take my phone down there to take pictures. Sorry about that :-[

Also, this morning I was at the dermatologist to have some moles checked out. I have quite a lot of them, so i'm having them checked twice per year just to be sure, over the years they did remove a couple of them but luckily none of them turned out to be malicious.
The doctor removed one birthmark today because he was having some doubts about it. Even though I did have my knife with me, the doctor used his own knife so again: no pictures. Sorry about that :rofl:
Now let's hope next week I get a call from the doctor that this birthmark was also nothing special, just like the ones before!

day 11
Had a busy afternoon working in the crawlspace under the house to lay out cables for electricity to the front and back garden. The crawlspace is a bit dark and muddy, so I was wearing rubber boots and rain pants while I was down there, but even though I did use my knife and multitool for cutting and stripping wires I didn't take my phone down there to take pictures. Sorry about that :-[

Also, this morning I was at the dermatologist to have some moles checked out. I have quite a lot of them, so i'm having them checked twice per year just to be sure, over the years they did remove a couple of them but luckily none of them turned out to be malicious.
The doctor removed one birthmark today because he was having some doubts about it. Even though I did have my knife with me, the doctor used his own knife so again: no pictures. Sorry about that :rofl:
Now let's hope next week I get a call from the doctor that this birthmark was also nothing special, just like the ones before!
I hope it turns out to be nothing Glen :hatsoff:
Is that a Spirit? :ahhh

I've never been good at remembering the names of the many patterns of traditional knives. Some, like 'Barlow' are easy to remember, but I frequently misuse them. Others, like 'Trapper' or 'Stockman' are easy to recall because they are patterns I've had for such a long time and used a good bit. Not that I always use those names correctly, either...... :facepalm:
Now, to my question: in the picture below are two Jack knives (I think I got that right.....). The bottom knife is called a 'Bull Moose' (thanks for the reminder, comis.). What is the upper pattern called? Just a 'Moose'? Just a 'Bull'? :think:

I've created a bunch of households; but usually just individuals; never a couple. The first couple months I played the game I forgot to turn aging off (which I personally don't want in a game), so I pretty much had to clear out my early Sims and start over. Lauren (left) was roughly based on a real person, only the individual she was based off of was a bit shorter than the 5'6 that is the default height (just under 5") and I wasn't exactly able to get her physical build just right, and I never learned how to use the height slider. Hobart was a slightly tweaked random sim.

Day 11:
This one is for you, Pomsie:

Making a little 'Montana Sushi' for lunch: turkey and friggitello (pepperoncini) wrapped around hummus with za'atar. The Sodbuster's blade makes a good spreading tool. :tu:
Little known fact: I make the best hummus in the world. While the Guinness book of world records has not officially recognized this accomplishment and wonder, a solid rumor (that I just started) has it that they are considering making a special award for my hummus.
Americans are crazy about iced tea. We drink it all year, but in the summer we must consume oceans of the stuff. Anybody else in the big wide world like iced tea? :think:
Your sandwich looks great! Being in Israel we eat Hummus all day every day and with everything. There are entire lanes in supermarkets dedicated just to Hummus and there are Hummus bars in each town. Interestingly the best Hummus I ever ate was from a Kosher Deli in Manchester in the UK, owned by an Israeli but I've never had anything quite as good here. I can still taste it when I think about it! Unfortunately I've never gotten round to making my own which is frankly embarrassing. I really should get off my behind and make some one time.
I do use chickpeas a lot though. Today I'm making my Oriental Salt and Vinegar chickpeas to go with supper. My take on 'Englishman meets the Middle East'. :D (salt, vinegar, cumin, garlic, olive oil, bake)
Oh and they drink a lot of iced tea here. Not my personal taste, I don't do tea (or coffee, don't worry the wife drinks enough for two).

Day 12. Today I've decided to be a traditional ninja. The big handle on this knife is actually very comfortable to hold. That's a decided point in its favour. I just wish the main blade was a drop longer.

It's a fairly unique design. I guess I'm asking if it is an aesthetic choice or is driven by function. Anyone have an idea? :think:

So, the Buffalo Jack has an interesting hump toward the pommel-end of the handle. Is there a functional reason for that? Does it allow better access to the nail nick? Does it build up the handle for better use?

The pattern is typically called a "Gunstock"; because of its similarity to one. I do not know if it offers any advantage other than looks.

Post by: glenfiddich1983 on July 12, 2019, 02:12:26 PM
Day 11; most of the morning was spent doing yard work; most of the later part of the afternoon was spent playing Sims 4; not a game I actively play (I've played it 75 hours in 7 months), but I really enjoy it.
I've created a bunch of households; but usually just individuals; never a couple. The first couple months I played the game I forgot to turn aging off (which I personally don't want in a game), so I pretty much had to clear out my early Sims and start over. Lauren (left) was roughly based on a real person, only the individual she was based off of was a bit shorter than the 5'6 that is the default height (just under 5") and I wasn't exactly able to get her physical build just right, and I never learned how to use the height slider. Hobart was a slightly tweaked random sim.

I was thinking "gunstock", too; but then wasn't sure about that. Sounds like we have three of us in agreement, at least. Usually form follows function....but in this case....just cool (unless you are Steve, ;)).

I think it really depends where you live and what you do for living. I know I could get by without actually having any tool on me, since I live in a metropolis and I have all the tools at home where I need them. But once in while, when I need a tool, I would need it right there and then, and it sucks big time without it. That's why I always carry a SAK with me regardless what other tool I might bring, it does solves 80% of all the problem in my mundane life.
But to be honest, who am I kidding, I am a SAKaholic/tool/knife enthusiast, it is never just about 'need' but 'hoarding'. :facepalm: :D

A knife blade is definitely my most used tool. I miss the sense of comfort that comes with having a few drivers and an awl, but "just a knife" seems to be fine so far..... :)
At some point this weekend I'm going to have to play with some protective fencing. I'll wish that I had a nice Leatherman for that, but I'll substitute some wire cutters and pliers. :dunno:

Shears and a saw, and only sometimes a knife. A hoe is the tool I use most.

Well the moose carving went well till the leg fell off :oops: 2 things learnt, i'm not a carver and mahogany is probably not the best choice of wood to try it with..now where did i put the glue :D
Oh and btw, i have never seen a moose in my life, i'm kinda winging it here..i think this one will end up looking like a cartoon moose, a three legged one at that

I'm finding that, for most of my days, a blade really is all I need. How do you guys feel?
For the challenge, all I'm carrying is the Grohman with a classic on my key ring solely for the toothpick, the scissors have been tempting but I've resisted and I miss the opener layer.
Before SAKs I really abused my pocket knives with lots of poking, prodding and prying, that's why I'm so fond of the two opener layer :ahhh

I'm finding that, for most of my days, a blade really is all I need. How do you guys feel?Well, thats kinda a loaded question...
My first choice is a small fixed blade the size of the ESEE Izula or the Randall Triathlete - the reason is the speed of usefulness. It is right there on my hip and doesn’t have to be opened.
I’m thinking a SAK with the tools that might be used is still preferable as a second choice.
A traditional pocket knife would be my third choice.
That being said...what I will be doing for the day will dictate what goes on also or left home. So at church, office setting, business meeting, etc - pocket knife for sure.
Out in the woods hiking or exploring, all three will be with me, the fixie, and a SAK, and a pocket knife also - so 3 in total.

It is worth having one in any traditional collection. Quite an odd design for sure. Personally, I differentiate between the Toenail and Sunfish by calling the symmetrical handles a Toenail(short for Elephant's Toenail) and the tapered asymmetrical handles a Sunfish. :dunno:
This guy has a good explanation of the styles. And get a gander at those GECs. :drool:

My dad carried a muskrat styled knife. So he would always have a sharp blade. I actually believe it was so he did have to chose which blade style he was opening

Chicken dinner tonight!
As some of you already know, I try to use my challenge tool to break down a chicken for supper at some point during every challenge. Today gave me that chance once again....
(https://i.imgur.com/Bs6TofZ.jpg)
The Sodbuster was razor sharp and made nice long, clean cuts. That belly up near the tip is great for slicing. The tip was used to feel along the backbone--tonight's chicken got spatchcocked for the grill. Backbone, scapulae, wishbone, and ribs got removed. The Sodbuster did a great job, although at one point I did something awkward that resulted in the knife starting to close. "Oh, no, not a Matt-move!" flashed through my head, and I stopped short of actually closing the knife on my hand.
The Mudbug's lock does look a little more tempting, now...... ;)
Chicken ready for the grill:
(https://i.imgur.com/JJPn0Bz.jpg)
So, the Sodbuster doesn't match the Buck 110 for power and ease of use, but it did very well. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again for this task! :tu:
For those interested in what happened to the chicken:

GEC#61 with a Artisan coutelier maurice dubost Opinel-style knife.
I've read that earlier offering from GEC tends to have stronger pull, but sure am glad to find this one has the pull that I like, just a tad bit stronger than a SAK. I got the Artisan Coutelier knife from evil bay, but my googlefu couldn't find more details for me. I think Opinel does have collaboration with different makers/organization over the years, and this one maybe the one of those collab. Most of the Opinel I owned usually have very stiff joint, but this one is super smooth.

Hope you'd be able to find one someday, if you wish to.
Since I am partaking the GEC challenge, just my 2 cents worth as a newbie--I think what GEC attracts me the most is their quality and use of material. I got a few Case, Queen, Hen & Rooster and Rough Rider here and there over the years, but as soon as I get one from GEC, I started to understand what's the fuzz about these knives. Their degree of finishing and details are just different from others, the transition between scale and bolster, the backsprings evenness, centering of blades, etc. I am used to SAK collecting, and kinda take those for granted, but in reality, it probably is not something easy to do for traditional knives.
I also love how GEC tends to use more organic handle material, vs synthetic material other brand would use. From what I read, some handle material like Stag is harder to get nowadays for knife makers, and being able to get well executed knives with those premium material made it even more valuable.

Good one to start day 14 with Barry. :like:
Day 14
GEC#61 with a Artisan coutelier maurice dubost Opinel-style knife.
I've read that earlier offering from GEC tends to have stronger pull, but sure am glad to find this one has the pull that I like, just a tad bit stronger than a SAK. I got the Artisan Coutelier knife from evil bay, but my googlefu couldn't find more details for me. I think Opinel does have collaboration with different makers/organization over the years, and this one maybe the one of those collab. Most of the Opinel I owned usually have very stiff joint, but this one is super smooth.

Today is Bastille Day!
Mrs Nix, knowing I’m a fan of Bastille Day, gave me this replica of the key to the Bastille as a gift once. For me it is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and equality (and makes a darned good paper weight). The original key was given to President George Washington by a hero of the American revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette). This gesture was a great honor, highlighting the close association between the American revolution and the French revolution.
Quote
With his military experience from serving during the American Revolution, the thirty-two year old Marquis de Lafayette quickly assumed a prominent role in the opening chapter of the French Revolution. After the Bastille fell, Lafayette was placed in command of a local national guard formed to keep order throughout France.
The Bastille main prison key was turned over to Lafayette shortly after the Bastille was stormed on July 14, 1789 by angry citizens rioting in the streets of Paris. Long a symbol of royal despotism, the Bastille was a natural target when violence erupted after severe shortages of bread led the populace into the streets. Lafayette was optimistic about the fate of the revolution when he prepared to ship the Bastille key to George Washington in March of 1790.
Several months passed before the gift finally arrived at its destination. On the first leg of the journey Lafayette entrusted the key to Thomas Paine, well-known for his participation in the American Revolution. The actual presentation to George Washington late in the summer of 1790 was an honor that fell to John Rutledge, Jr., a South Carolinian returning to the United States from London.
The key at Washington's home in Virginia, Mount Vernon:

Day: 14
Today is Bastille Day!
Mrs Nix, knowing I’m a fan of Bastille Day, gave me this replica of the key to the Bastille as a gift once. For me it is a symbol of freedom, liberty, and equality (and makes a darned good paper weight). The original key was given to President George Washington by a hero of the American revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette). This gesture was a great honor, highlighting the close association between the American revolution and the French revolution.
The key at Washington's home in Virginia, Mount Vernon:

In honor of Bastille day, I offer this as my Day 14 photo:

Thanks. That's good to know then as the Ranger was purchased at the same time as my Colonial Electrician so they may have belonged to the same owner. I have what looks like the same stockman as yours, except mine has the white scales. :cheers:

Cool knife, LC. The jimping on the blade is nice. :tu:Thank you Nic!
“Jimping “ is a new term to me.
Yes, it makes the knife look fancy and likely why it came home with me as a 2nd purchase that day, a couple years back.

Bear & Sons made Kodiak Trapper for today. :)
The Kodiak series is a more premium hand-finished line from Bear(made in my home state). The quality is easily on par with Case, and so is the price. :ahhh

Ah, so there are some of good quality. I've been looking at the one they make exclusively for Red Hill Cutlery out of Kentucky using the Small Trapper (3" closed) called the "Bear Trap" which has a serrated skinning blade. Got a little late tonight playing Sims 4, I actually created my first full family (husband, wife, teenage daughter, teenage son) and it adds a whole different layer to the gameplay.
Figure I'd get more stuff out of my pockets and onto my belt with the Ripoffs CO-7 I bought so I could carry a flashlight with my Super Tool 300 and Knipex Mini Cobras. My Rebar fits into the back pocket, the 110 in the knife/tool pocket, and my LED Lenser P6X in the light slot (it's designed for a Mini Maglite).

Wow, that 1921 is in great shape! My 1942 definitely shows being used 77 years, so I don't think twice when I want to tote it around the house (as I don't want to risk losing it). I'm wondering--why a spear point blade? I thought all M1908s were clip-point, and that spear points were an M1891 thing.

Thank you! I think the spear point was used because it was more utilitarian or general use? Some would claim it is easier to make 'divot' for bushcrafting or fire making.
I too can't say I know why they use clip point for awhile and revert back to spear point, but could only guess the choice were probably influenced by the popular trends at that time or they were trying to reach a different demographics of clients. But I am glad they are using spear point nowadays, it indeed is a good general use blade shape.

I’m super late to this challenge! But I just barely today got randomly gifted this awesome little Imperial! Looks like this guy is gonna hit the ground running. Can anyone tell me anything about it? When I google it all I find is pictures of a double bladed fish knife with a knife blade and separate scaler/bottle opener. Mine has it all in one blade. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190715/7f7449c130dd22562f5f27e5bc0e755c.jpg)No traditional expert here, but I'd been researching on my toothpick lately. Judging from the shield, the fish scaler on the swedge, narrow knife profile, I'd say this is a classic 'fish knife'. By the tang stamp, maybe 40s-50s?

Such nice thing to say, big thank you to you! :cheers: :D
:cheers:
No traditional expert here, but I'd been researching on my toothpick lately. Judging from the shield, the fish scaler on the swedge, narrow knife profile, I'd say this is a classic 'fish knife'. By the tang stamp, maybe 40s-50s?
That would be so cool! I’ve been looking for a while for a nice traditional slipjoint and here I just get handed one. In googling I found a picture chart saying this tang stamp is from ‘46-‘56. If that’s true, then this guy is in good shape! Blade didn’t even look sharpened or touched up. Of course... I did have to put a razor edge on it though... it’s a scalpel now!

When I google it all I find is pictures of a double bladed fish knife with a knife blade and separate scaler/bottle opener. Mine has it all in one blade.

When i did the fixie challenge i made a nice feather stick so thought i would try the same with a folder, these Youtube bushcrafters make it so much more difficult for themselves than it needs to be :pok:

How do you like it so far? Seems like a nice big folder.
Seems like the handle drops a bit (compared to the blade). Is that an accurate observation on my part? :think: Good design feature? How strong is that spring? I've had large blades close when a cut is suddenly stopped and the blade carries all the momentum forward. So a strong spring seems desirable with a large folder.
Impressions? :ahhh

No use for me today. For a bit I was busy playing with a Wave and a Rebar. For that I used some specialized tools, but never needed a knife today.

Nice pattern. Love the dual nail nicks but not necessary on these two. Both of mine, a nice medium pull about a 6 I'd guess. My 23's are snappers, esp the two stags. and I have a big German made Winchester folder that could probably snap through a piece 3/4" rope! :D

Opened up this tiny thing today. It will need some edge work. The grind is bad, one angle is steeper than the one on the other side. Think it's about time I invested in a Sharpmaker or similar.Oh my gosh...is that like a 1 1/2 inch blade???

Ok - just found where Case makes a side-draw sheath for pocket knives...does anyone have these or similar? How is it working out for you? With it being an open top, is the fit nice and good with no lost knives?
They make them for the Trapper as well and that is why I’m asking - thanks

Oh wow, really really not! I've been under the thumb for 18 years and counting! :D This was a girl we got very close to and she asked us to 'give her' away at her wedding, the Orthodox Jewish tradition is for a married couple to accompany the bride to the Chupa in addition to her parents should they be divorced, an appointment known as 'unterfuhrer'.

Seriously though, this challenge has been really difficult. I don't have a smartphone and I don't take snaps, not my kind of thing. If you want a 800 year old manuscript perfectly reproduced, check. A beautiful landscape, no problem. A nice portrait, can do. Fantasy weird setups that look like a cross between a dream and sci-fi, yeah, I'm good at that. Still life snapshots? Um, which button do I press on this weird black box thing again? :rofl:

When i was a kid we used to have to wait till dinner was served, take a photo, run down the street to the chemist, hang around for sometimes hours waiting on the prints, get prints, run round to your mates house, show the photos then run home and hope the dog hasn't eaten all your food while you were away, digital is so much more convenient and what is more convenient than a camera already in your pocket ready to go, with added bonus it's a phone too :D

Thanks! I remember the days of waiting, with trepidation however. It was usually someone's wedding I was waiting to get back from the lab, it would take days and then the gulp as you opened the packets to find out if somehow you'd screwed up badly. Then the exhale of breath as you realise that there are pictures there, in focus, with decent exposure and screw the fact that their auntie wasn't smiling in all the pictures, who cares. :rofl: Digital was a relief from that perspective. In the early days it was hard. No question about it, the technology was young as heck and I was one of the early adopters but at least you knew that the bleeding camera was working ok as you were shooting!
They just announced a new camera today, Sony A7r mk4. 61 megapixels and technology I would never have been able to imagine in either the film days or even my days shooting weddings with digital. Utterly unbelievable. I've got one on pre-order for our studio but we still won't be using a tiny fraction of its capabilities.
I still refuse to have a smart phone though. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Got some great patina forming here. There's something about the clip-point blade in particular that really lends itself to a nice bit of patina. :tu:

If you look at it in the mirror, with your eyes slightly crossed--not too much, but a little--and a squint, it looks just like a Union Jack.

I'm missing the reference here. As a full time pro photog I can never be bothered taking pics.... :D
Seriously though, this challenge has been really difficult. I don't have a smartphone and I don't take snaps, not my kind of thing. If you want a 800 year old manuscript perfectly reproduced, check. A beautiful landscape, no problem. A nice portrait, can do. Fantasy weird setups that look like a cross between a dream and sci-fi, yeah, I'm good at that. Still life snapshots? Um, which button do I press on this weird black box thing again? :rofl:

(I used to use one of these actually, MPP, the poor mans Linhof)
Sweet black box...
I still remember when digital first came out; someone said that it wouldn't last. That 35mm would be around for a long time. I was having a love affair with some old Pentax Spotmatics, at the time. I miss the old days of lugging a 10 pound camera bag, full of gear. Coming home after vacation and spending a couple hundred dollars to have the film developed and printed, hoping that something acceptable came back.

Matt, I really, really like it. Case has nailed this one! The bolsters are big, like they are supposed to be. And strong, not decorations, like they are supposed to be. :woohoo:
The Fit and finish on mine is quite good. I've already put a few scratches on it from carrying it about in my pockets today. A minor gripe is that there is a touch of recurve in both blades. This is minor and won't be an issue whatsoever.
I terms of size, it is about the size of an 84mm Vic/Wenger. The main blade is a tad shorter than the main blade on my Evo 14. It is heavy for size (which feels good to me) and conveys a sense of solidity. It feels like a real working knife. :tu:
I doubt I'll be the only one enjoying these gems. Convenient, solid, and practical. Everyone needs one, especially Barry. >:D :pok:

Since I had a doctor's appointment today, and I was wearing a pair of shorts that you can't hardly put anything in (most stuff I EDC is too heavy, other stuff just slides out and disappears, never to be seen again) I put the 110 into my Ripoffs CO-7 and clipped the sheath (containing flashlight, 110, and Cobra pliers) into the water bottle pocket in the pack. I put it on my belt later today. Used my hawkbill for most of the cutting tasks to be done today.
Cutting back on the junk food really helped--lost two pounds (that was wearing the same clothes as last time; but with a LM Squirt in my pocket this time; which adds what 2 ounces?) and my cholesterol had gone down 50 points. Which I'm not even sure why it was so high in the first place--I"m only 23.

GEC48 trapper with a Fiction folder Svord...I don't why but I always prefer my (modern) folders in the range of 4 inch+, but am totally fine with regular 91mm SAK at 3.5inch, but for traditional, I still think the 3.5-4in could be the sweet spot.

Matt, I really, really like it. Case has nailed this one! The bolsters are big, like they are supposed to be. And strong, not decorations, like they are supposed to be. :woohoo:
The Fit and finish on mine is quite good. I've already put a few scratches on it from carrying it about in my pockets today. A minor gripe is that there is a touch of recurve in both blades. This is minor and won't be an issue whatsoever.
I terms of size, it is about the size of an 84mm Vic/Wenger. The main blade is a tad shorter than the main blade on my Evo 14. It is heavy for size (which feels good to me) and conveys a sense of solidity. It feels like a real working knife. :tu:

The #42 beautifully sliced up some pork yesterday and I'll be using again to cut up some more later. However, it was absolutely píss poor today at cutting up some cheddar cheese - it must be something to do with the blade geometry I guess, but I just felt a noticeable amount of resistance.

The cheese, by the way, was for my latest gastronomic phenomenon - cheddar, chorizo and piccalilli sandwiches! They sound absolutely disgusting, but are in fact quite delicious... it's all down to the mayonnaise you see - it blends and binds it all together. :2tu:

How does the cheese cut with a regular paring kitchen knife? Perhaps it's just the texture being so draggy that any knife would struggle regardless of how slicey it is.

These were my thoughts, too. :iagree: Cheese tends to 'cling' to a blade. The best tool for slicing cheese is a thin piece of wire. :tu:
And...can Fuzzy even sharpen a knife?

I'm constantly surprised by the number of people who don't like mayo. Doesn't even seem possible to me.....
You might try making your own mayonnaise: one egg yolk, light olive oil, juice of a lemon, pinch salt, pinch cayenne pepper or paprika. Blitz. (best to blitz egg and oil first, then add lemon juice and stuff.) Brilliant stuff--you'll be converted. For a more daring mayo, throw in a half a garlic clove and half a cured anchovy. Oooooh, la-la!

I, too, cut up some cardboard today. :tu: (sorry, no action shots.)
The Sodbuster is a great slicer because of it's flat grind and relatively wide blade. I really like the overall blade geometry of this knife. And it's a worker. So I like that.
The edge felt good to me after cutting up the cardboard and sliced paper well still, but I decided to resharpen it anyway. Because I like sharp knives and cardboard is hell on an edge. :D
I spent a few minutes with a couple of stones and got it back to shaving sharp easily. I typically sharpen free-hand, so I 'painted' the edge with a blue Sharpie to see exactly where I was removing steel. Which would explain why there is still a little blue staining on the blade (this could be easily removed with a little rubbing alcohol, but I've stopped bothering to worry 'bout that step.

Seems they were never widely offered in the US and are mostly a European thing. 4-layer 111mms are where it's at for me, and I already have the Fireman and Outrider; just need the Locksmith now. I'm especially fond of the Finnish Camo version. I'd really like to have the Malaysian military Outrider (backside Phillips); but that's something I'll have to build as a mod.

Gave my Granddad his phone back, swapped SIM and memory card over from the crappy Sonim (great battery, and tough, but everything else sucks) to my older NEC. I'm actually impressed with the quality of this photo; compared to older ones I'd taken. It ain't the camera--it's the photographer! The NEC's problem was that it would never load webpages correctly. Found it was a cookie issue--there were way too many on the phone.
I actually carried the Case Eisenhower, while the 110 stayed on the dresser. Its only job was cutting up an apple.

The one I recieved is outstanding. Yes the finish isn't perfect and the tools aren't buttery smooth, but the steel seems decent and the overall fit & finish are that of a $20 knife. I put an edge on the can opener and it flies through opening a can. Hard to beat for the price. I have a second one on the way for the collection.
Actually, I have a bunch of Marbles stuff on the way. :facepalm:

:like: Where'd you get the Locksmith? Seems they were never widely offered in the US and are mostly a European thing. 4-layer 111mms are where it's at for me, and I already have the Fireman and Outrider; just need the Locksmith now. I'm especially fond of the Finnish Camo version. I'd really like to have the Malaysian military Outrider (backside Phillips); but that's something I'll have to build as a mod.
Came across the Locksmith on eBay for UNDER $40!!!! I snatched it right up!!

Day: 17Nice...I was wondering what the blue was :cheers:
I, too, cut up some cardboard today. :tu: (sorry, no action shots.)
The Sodbuster is a great slicer because of it's flat grind and relatively wide blade. I really like the overall blade geometry of this knife. And it's a worker. So I like that.
The edge felt good to me after cutting up the cardboard and sliced paper well still, but I decided to resharpen it anyway. Because I like sharp knives and cardboard is hell on an edge. :D
I spent a few minutes with a couple of stones and got it back to shaving sharp easily. I typically sharpen free-hand, so I 'painted' the edge with a blue Sharpie to see exactly where I was removing steel. Which would explain why there is still a little blue staining on the blade (this could be easily removed with a little rubbing alcohol, but I've stopped bothering to worry 'bout that step.

Opened some small baggies containing o-rings and the like. Also cleaned it a bit today. Used polishing sandpaper to remove some gunk off the tang area and then sprayed it with whatever this is. If it’s good enough for Mercedes-Benz front head covers, it’s good enough for this old girl! Opens smoother now. It’s got it’s snap back! Now I just gotta decide what type of lube to put in there. I usually use fishing reel oil, but it’s thinner and good for those faster moving mechanisms. But what about for these old slippies? Any recommendations? Something with a heavier weight?Nice :like:

Hey, Dean!
I had a feeling you might chime in, and so glad to hear from you! Luckily I did hold my horses...sort of.
Today, I used a very, very acute Dremel bit to ever so lightly 'scratch' one of the tang, and I felt it might have further lessen the pull of 8.5 to 8.2?(or maybe it's just in my head). So glad I just stopped there and you showed up!

I was looking at Streamlights 3000 lumens and thought that was overkill. With 4000 I bet you could see someone 300 yards away!

My GEC #44 is a hard one to open up also. The only thing I’m hating more is the sharp corners of the blades in the closed positing.
Really? I too have a gunstock 44, and I think the pull is firm but quite manageable (maybe a pull force of 6-7, Sak being at 5 and 10 is welded shut). Maybe I got lucky with mine? I knew few models were just well documented as being nail pullers, and 54 is one of them.

I knew few models were just well documented as being nail pullers, and 54 is one of them.Pulling the blade open has chipped my nail. I am now trying it a different way...put nail in normally and instead of pulling on the blade I am opening it up with the handle.

I gonna followed what Dean did, to ever so slightly thin out the tang(maybe a 3-5deg inclination), so the initial pull could be lessen. What do you all think?

Thanks again for all the nice comments and the warm welcome back! :hatsoff:
I know it's considered 'boring' but I like plain bone on a knife. It may be simple but it's very classy.

6:30am and cleaning up a brisket for the BBQ. It's been cleaned up and salted, will be injected with a 50/50 oil and water solution, have a Texas BBQ rub applied (link below) after a few hours and then slowly BBQ'd for about 6 hours to get a whole lot of smoke. Once it's done it will be sliced and served with an onion and meat gravy sauce.
Commence drooling.
The knife did really well actually. Some years back I did a test with two identical large pieces of brisket using a freshly sharpened SAK Pruner and Opinel, one brisket per knife. They were hugely fatty and required a lot of work to trim down. By the end the Opinel was almost blunt. I carried on EDC-ing the SAK for a month without sharpening and it didn't miss a beat. I was doing a trial as to whether the SAK's steel was too 'soft' for my EDC needs, I'd never owned one. Needless to say I haven't looked back! Fast forward to now and the Buck was still shaving sharp by the end of that Brisket which is nice to know. It's not perhaps the cheapest knife edge retention test to use but it's certainly one of the tastiest! :rofl:

Problem Child GEC54 reporting for light duty, cutting open a local drink packet for late afternoon. I think yesterday's touch up makes this knife slightly more usable(now I think a pull of 8-8.2?), so as long I keep my nails short and take a little pre-caution when opening this one, our relationship is warming up!
Dean, definitely still looking forward to your valuable input, and love to hear why the mod on 54 is no-go while the other knife could be a viable option. But please do take all the time you need, and am already grateful you step in and stop me from making a fool of myself and my 54! :hatsoff:

A bike ride, prayers and study time later and now it's ready to go on the Weber. My young daughter is castigating me for taking the picture without a knife on. Little does she know that the knife will have plenty work to do with this meat when the time comes. :DHow nice is it when your family do help take part in the challenge! My wife still frowns on me everytime I keep posing for a photo, I can't wait to see her expression when I am in Choptober... >:D

Pomsbz, I thought so when I first get hold of GEC stag covers too! They are all very well executed, finished to a satisfactory degree. I tried other covers from time to time, but felt like stag is probably one of the best suited cover material for traditional knives.

I think it is a real pleasure to carry a simple knife in the pocket.
In general I prefer a locking knife--it's just safer in my mind--however, I find the simplicity of just opening, using, and closing a slip joint, without any fussing, an uncomplicated pleasure. There is a zen-like joy to be found in the slip joint.

If I'm being honest, I carry two or three full sized tools(plus a keychain scissor tool [plus traditional knife for the month instead of a modern folder] and 91mm SAK) on any given work day. Such as yesterday I had a Charge with bit kit on me as well, though I ended up just using the Pinchy and Buck yesterday.
It is a more recent Buck logo that was used on some Buck knives. That one happens to be one of the Chinese produced versions, but the knife is the same build quality as the older US made ones. Though it can be had for pennies on the dollar to the USA made Bucks.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know some Buck were made in China. I kept seeing the Buck classics 110, 112, 55 and just think every Buck was USA made. I wonder there is certain line are specifically made in China, like the Byrd line in Spyderco.

Love this problem child GEC 54, after the very minor rounding at the tang and keeping blades opened for a month, the pull is still a very firm 8-8.5(a little better than the 9 before, 10 being welded shut). I gonna followed what Dean did, to ever so slightly thin out the tang(maybe a 3-5deg inclination), so the initial pull could be lessen. What do you all think?

I think it is a real pleasure to carry a simple knife in the pocket.
In general I prefer a locking knife--it's just safer in my mind--however, I find the simplicity of just opening, using, and closing a slip joint, without any fussing, an uncomplicated pleasure. There is a zen-like joy to be found in the slip joint.
Nicely said Jack... :iagree:

How is that Grohmann starting to feel for you, Greg? Is it going to be a keeper?
Thanks for asking Nix
It was always a keeper, just wasn't sure if it was destined to be an EDC.
The quality is unquestionable in both material and fit and finish, it opens smoothly and snaps closed like a mouse trap, where different materials meet I can drag a fingernail across and not feel it.
Both blades have retained their edge after 19 days.
At this point in the challenge I no longer baby it, and we've become strong friends.
It really would be a lifetime companion, if only I was younger :cheers:

Day 19. Cutting some brush with my Rebar, I accidentally poked a hole in the AC unit. Spent the past hour with a buddy of mine, figuring out how we're gonna fix the mess I made. Luckily, he's a trained HVAC technician and has all the proper gear. He's a retired heavy equipment operator, and actually took the class as a hobby. We figure that if we can't figure it out, there's always YouTube. And that's why I'm eating dinner a half-hour later than when I'm crawling into my bed.Oh boy :facepalm:

No, no you misunderstand! I was just making a silly joke - no offence was taken in the slightest. PM'd you in response. :cheers:

It has been badly ground on a benchgrinder so the edge is not pretty, but it shaves now so all is good And had to sand down the back of the blade as someone has beaten it with a hammer or something sometime

Day 20 (honestly? feels like it's been longer)I agree, suspecting it maybe the result of the number posts being contributed to this thread, multiplied by the number of members participating in the challenged, squared by the excellent pictures, plus the quality of knives being photographed. Then factor the HOURS that is required to read all the new entries each day, then the restless sleep while dreaming about your NEXT traditional, and then calculating how to raise funds to make and purchase minus the methods to keep that purchase concealed from the better half.

Top rifle is a Sharps and the bottom one is a Remington rolling block. The cartridge is a original 44-77. This is the cartridge that inspired the shield on the Buffalo Jack.

The 2016 is going to need a touch up (I can't believe I used it THAT much, but I did); so I switched to the 1974-1980. It was my great-uncle's, and obviously used a lot by him. I moslty just carry it to family functions; it has been retired in favor of the 2016 standard and the Shield though is still put on my belt every now and then. Opened up some ink; my printer ran out while printing the air conditioner's installation manual (which still doesn't have what I need in it, but better than nothing at all).

I never was a big fan of the gunstock pattern. GEC 44 is a good example of this pattern and one I like very much. It fits my hand good. The pull on both of mine are around a 7+- but are smooth. Which works good for me. The Tidioute 44 had some sharp points on the butt end cap. A few strokes with a file fix that problem and made it more user friendly.

I’m not going to argue. I am just wondering what about it makes it not fall into a traditional genre?
My JE Made was approved, but it’s 100% modern. My Buck 110 LT Hunter is modern. It’s approved.
Is it because it originally came with a pocket clip? Is it because it is a modern knife made with modern materials?
Again, just curious! Not arguing about it, just asking.

Hard to say. IMO the distinction is pretty vague, as more and more manufacturers produce what they call modern traditionals. I´m guessing that your Böker Tech Tool is considered a modern take on the SAK, and as SAKs were excluded from this challenge, so your BTT is too.
The SAKs were excluded due to specific challenges for them. In those challenges the Boker was not allowed.
The Camillus Demo Knife is influenced by the Swiss Army Knife, yet it and the Boy Scout Knife are allowed.

For me, and this is just a personal view, the Tech Tool just doesn't strike me as a traditional. Doesn't look like one or act like one(because it is so well evolved to fit modern usage) to me. Just like I wouldn't equate a Vic CyberTool to a traditional SAK(soldier or spartan for just two examples).
Yes, my reasoning is kind of silly, but the label "traditional" is definitely subjective to certain people. The Demo knife has a history going way back, and I understand SAKs can definitely be considered traditional going even further back, and the many knife-based multitools made before Vic; because of the history involved. But, as historical as Boker is as a company, the Tech Tool line is not usually associated with the traditional Boker lineages or styles.
I know from a debate standpoint, I could logically argue that most pocket knives are "traditional", because they have similar tool-sets, springs, handles, locking mechanisms, etc. to what most people consider traditional. I could also argue the other side and say my Marble's Demo knife is not traditional, since it isn't a brand that made the particular knife during its' hayday. The discussion has no absolute answer, because it boils down to philosophical nit-picking.
However, that said, my answer was purely subjective. There just isn't anything that strikes me as traditional about Boker Tech Tools(same goes for the JE folder, but I respect your decision to use it as a traditional knife and the mod's approval of the usage). I think modern folders and modern versions of trads / multiknives are better tools for 21st century practical usage. Old designs made by old companies, or made like the originals(materials and finishes), strike me as traditional styles. When I think traditional, I'm picturing something my grandfather would have used; based on look, feel, materials, and style.
Mileage varies, and like I said, my opinion means little to nothing. :dunno:

I personally would think a traditional knife is some form of slipjoint with only blades(no other tool implement), mostly made by hand or more 'traditional' knife making method and use more organic material for the handle. Surely that will probably narrow down the list tremendously and maybe a little too limiting. But it probably is a very subjective material, and we probably will get a different answer from everyone each time.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate all the modern slipjoint made with supersteel and new tech, it is just natural revolution. Maybe it is just me, but I just kinda see "tradtional" in a way of reminiscing the old ways of living and doing things.

In the same way, the Al Mar Eagle is just a lock back, little different from a Buck 110. It's been around for a couple decades now, too. (And is a great little knife!)
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/c4/d1/a1c4d1ad1508322e197019a7a48c278d.jpg)
But few of us would think of the Eagle as a 'Traditional knife". It's focused on newer design elements, modern materials, and modern construction. Yes, I could make an argument to include it, but at some point it feels like we might lose the plot. So, Demo knife, yes; Tech Tool, I think not.
It's a tough call, but to me it feels like the Tech Tool falls outside the realm of a 'traditional' knife. (I'm happy to have my judgement overridden by those who must be obeyed...... ;))

zrxoa1, I thin the Boker Tech line is trying to be a modern take on more traditional patterns. Yes, there are good arguments to include it (how different is it from a Demo knife, really?), but in spirit it is trying to be a modern knife. When I see one, I think it looks modern: "hey, there's a cool new design." And it includes the word "Tech" in its name.Nice Al Mar Eagle :cheers:

No it doesn’t lock like the bigger Opinel knives
And if it did it would be illegal in the uk >:(
Technically the law says that it has to have a press button to open the knife to be illegal to carry without good reason: https://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives
I'd hate to have to argue that one with a magistrate however. :twak: Lock knives were not illegal until a magistrate decided the lock turned it into a fixed blade and some poor sod got it in the neck for something that had been legal until that moment.

zrxoa1, I thin the Boker Tech line is trying to be a modern take on more traditional patterns. Yes, there are good arguments to include it (how different is it from a Demo knife, really?), but in spirit it is trying to be a modern knife. When I see one, I think it looks modern: "hey, there's a cool new design." And it includes the word "Tech" in its name.
In the same way, the Al Mar Eagle is just a lock back, little different from a Buck 110. It's been around for a couple decades now, too. (And is a great little knife!)
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a1/c4/d1/a1c4d1ad1508322e197019a7a48c278d.jpg)
But few of us would think of the Eagle as a 'Traditional knife". It's focused on newer design elements, modern materials, and modern construction. Yes, I could make an argument to include it, but at some point it feels like we might lose the plot. So, Demo knife, yes; Tech Tool, I think not.
It's a tough call, but to me it feels like the Tech Tool falls outside the realm of a 'traditional' knife. (I'm happy to have my judgement overridden by those who must be obeyed...... ;))
I agree with Jack on this one.
As for the demo knife I think it's fine and I would also say that a SAK Soldier technically would be therefore as well. It's really the same knife just made in a different country.

Did you end up using the knife to crave?
I too am just a participant here, and I didn't make the rules for the challenge, so really just take whatever I say with a grain of salt.
I personally would think a traditional knife is some form of slipjoint with only blades(no other tool implement), mostly made by hand or more 'traditional' knife making method and use more organic material for the handle. Surely that will probably narrow down the list tremendously and maybe a little too limiting. But it probably is a very subjective material, and we probably will get a different answer from everyone each time.
Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate all the modern slipjoint made with supersteel and new tech, it is just natural revolution. Maybe it is just me, but I just kinda see "tradtional" in a way of reminiscing the old ways of living and doing things.
For me, and this is just a personal view, the Tech Tool just doesn't strike me as a traditional. Doesn't look like one or act like one(because it is so well evolved to fit modern usage) to me. Just like I wouldn't equate a Vic CyberTool to a traditional SAK(soldier or spartan for just two examples).
Yes, my reasoning is kind of silly, but the label "traditional" is definitely subjective to certain people. The Demo knife has a history going way back, and I understand SAKs can definitely be considered traditional going even further back, and the many knife-based multitools made before Vic; because of the history involved. But, as historical as Boker is as a company, the Tech Tool line is not usually associated with the traditional Boker lineages or styles.
I know from a debate standpoint, I could logically argue that most pocket knives are "traditional", because they have similar tool-sets, springs, handles, locking mechanisms, etc. to what most people consider traditional. I could also argue the other side and say my Marble's Demo knife is not traditional, since it isn't a brand that made the particular knife during its' hayday. The discussion has no absolute answer, because it boils down to philosophical nit-picking.
However, that said, my answer was purely subjective. There just isn't anything that strikes me as traditional about Boker Tech Tools(same goes for the JE folder, but I respect your decision to use it as a traditional knife and the mod's approval of the usage). I think modern folders and modern versions of trads / multiknives are better tools for 21st century practical usage. Old designs made by old companies, or made like the originals(materials and finishes), strike me as traditional styles. When I think traditional, I'm picturing something my grandfather would have used; based on look, feel, materials, and style.
Mileage varies, and like I said, my opinion means little to nothing. :dunno:
The Camillus Demo Knife and the Boy Scout Knife have been around for a long time and are very traditional.
But as I said I was just guessing. Like you I wouldn´t want to argue.
Maybe it´s time we start to think about a new classification of our folders.
I would imagine that the Tech-Tool = same category as a SAK and those were not allowed in the challenge despite being extremely traditional. Just my take on it.

I think the Tech Tools are really really good. Caught the Tech Tool City 4 in CF scales on sale at SMKW for $18(must have been a stock mistake). I wouldn't have ever tried one out at the normal price before then. Now I know they're worth the cost and I love the scale choices they use. Very modern, especially the carbon fiber. :o
Gotta love those little no name knives.
If I carry a $50+ Case knife or something, I usually end up dinging the blade. If I carry one of the no-name trads, never hurt the blade. :facepalm:

This is where it kinda gets into a gray area in my view. Are SAKs traditional knives? No; but there are many SAKs that mimic traditional knives, and many traditional patterns that mimic the utility of an SAK. There are lots of SAKs (Pioneer, Soldiers, Executive, Classic, Recruit, Cadet, Secretary, Settler/Solo) that are similar to, or identical to many traditional patterns. Camillus and Schrade have both made and sold Classic clones. The M1891, M1908, and M1951 Soldiers all look very traditional and have bolsters. Camillus and Schrade both made Camper patterns with saws; thus making them comparable to a Farmer. Victorinox has also made traditional pruner/hawkbill folders with rosewood scales that are not like any standard SAK; and are really a traditional knife; but it isn't an SAK anyway. Most Alox is really similar to traditional camper's knives.

True enough. The Settler/Solo or Florist are great examples. There is nothing specifically SAK about the patterns other than the fact of manufacture. I think it might come into question once you add the second layer and the specific SAK scales. Not that it isn't traditional but that it has its own sub-category within the genre which makes it unique enough to have its own identity.
Oh and one day I'll have a Settler, one day. I realise I'll have to either make it myself or pay someone to do so. :cheers:

The way I do it is to quote the post > copy > back button > quote the next post > paste and copy > back and so on.
Here is your invitation for a month-long sojourn into the wonderful world of Traditional pocket knives!
(https://i.imgur.com/HfsvLLV.png)
We’ve got quite a few fans of the traditional folding knife here at MTo, and Barry and I were hoping to have some fun with these knives in July. Toward that end, we are setting up a 30-day Traditional folder challenge for July, 2019. If you don't have a traditional yet, there is still time to pick one up, perhaps second hand, and try out the knife your Grandfather might have used and depended on.
This is meant to be fun, but there will be a few rules, as always, for these types of challenges:
1. Carry and use a Traditional Folder for the month of July (the 1st through the 30th)
2. While accessory tools are permitted as necessary, participants are expected to use a traditional folder as their primary knife/tool
3. Post a photo and a brief description of how the ‘trad’ got used (or not) for that day.
4. It used to be the case (no pun intended) a person was lucky to have just one cherished pocket knife and would use that knife exclusively. Barry and I will both be using our cherished Sodbusters exclusively for this challenge. While the rules allow the carry of various traditional knives over the course of the 30-day period, we’d like to encourage participants to use just one knife for the entire challenge. Get to know that Traditional! How well does that model do, day-in and day-out?
(https://i.imgur.com/jIn9wDc.jpg)
Nothing is certain yet, but there will likely be a couple of sub-challenges and a GAW or two during this July challenge. We’ll see. In any event, there is a badge to be earned!
(https://i.imgur.com/nL2OJIK.png)
Or, if you plan on using a GEC folder, you could go for the 30-GEC challenge….
(https://i.imgur.com/JAC0wze.png)
So, pick up a new traditional or sharpen the one you have and let’s plan for a fun July using these classic knives the way they were meant to be! :tu:
Thanks Steve, you da man :cheers:

110 was on standby (need to get out the 110LT again) because I was wearing lightweight shorts. I carried this old Elinox Settler. I got it because of its unusual blue color; which isn't worn too much (and partially why I almost never carry it. The blades, however are bad. Both blades are bent; and I had to reprofile the broken clip point blade into a spey. Even after being broken, it's still bent a little. Both blades tend to catch on each other when closing. I would send it off to Vic, but I know the blades installed wouldn't be correct.

I really need me to get some oil to care for it. Any suggestions what i should get that is food safe?
I heard good thinks about Ballistol, and remember people also put it on organic handle material too, so it should be pretty decent. Mineral oil is probably a viable choice too, but I did hear it would go bad in a long run.
I used Froglube, which is FDA approved, rust proof and smells good too. Essentially it is just coconut oil, I remembered it was once advertised for gun maintenance too, but recently did read about people complaining it gunking up, so YMMV.
Day 21. Speaking of Settlers.Hey, Cody. What do you mean by them not installing the right blades? You mean Vic USA would install blades at random?(like an electrician blade instead of the small blade?)

Mineral oil shouldn't go bad. It's not a food oil like olive oil which will go rancid over time. I use it all the time on my knives, it's cheap and available at any pharmacy.

Early morning delivery from Marks and Spencer. Like all expats we love our M&S clothes and they're doing free delivery on orders over a certain amount. No VAT or import to pay either so it's cheaper than buying the stuff in England and only takes a week to arrive with fully tracked delivery.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/50.jpg)
The blade slid straight through the packaging but it was only then that I realised that there was no internal packaging at all, I almost sliced straight into my wife's new t-shirt and some new socks for my daughter. I was within mm's of being in trouble. Gulp!
That's one minus with a clip blade. The point catches on stuff in a way that a spear doesn't. Especially material from my experience.

Day 22A colorful duo for sure! :tu:
GEC 44 hanging out with my Case John Deree bright green bone Canoe. I was thinking maybe to give those 'colorful' Case knives a try to see how I like them, still haven't really warm up to the vibrant color...and kinda prefer the more traditional material for a traditional knife.

Day 22Wow, that was close! Glad to hear you missed. :cheers:
Early morning delivery from Marks and Spencer. Like all expats we love our M&S clothes and they're doing free delivery on orders over a certain amount. No VAT or import to pay either so it's cheaper than buying the stuff in England and only takes a week to arrive with fully tracked delivery.

The blade slid straight through the packaging but it was only then that I realised that there was no internal packaging at all, I almost sliced straight into my wife's new t-shirt and some new socks for my daughter. I was within mm's of being in trouble. Gulp!
That's one minus with a clip blade. The point catches on stuff in a way that a spear doesn't. Especially material from my experience.

I heard good thinks about Ballistol, and remember people also put it on organic handle material too, so it should be pretty decent. Mineral oil is probably a viable choice too, but I did hear it would go bad in a long run.
I used Froglube, which is FDA approved, rust proof and smells good too. Essentially it is just coconut oil, I remembered it was once advertised for gun maintenance too, but recently did read about people complaining it gunking up, so YMMV.
Hey, Cody. What do you mean by them not installing the right blades? You mean Vic USA would install blades at random?(like an electrician blade instead of the small blade?)
Because Vic hasn't made clip point pen blades in nearly 5 decades, for sure it would get a spear point pen as opposed to clip. But, I guess it's worth a shot if I mark the knife as sentimental. I like to get a fairly full box when I send SAKs off to Vic on warranty. UPS shipping isn't cheap, and not all post offices are friendly to knives being sent. Had one not a problem with anything, including a large OHO Gerber; yet the other make a fuss over a couple SAKs.

Mineral oil shouldn't go bad. It's not a food oil like olive oil which will go rancid over time. I use it all the time on my knives, it's cheap and available at any pharmacy.
:iagree: The bottle I have is from 2009 and it's perfectly fine still. Mineral oil is very stable unlike plant oils which can go rancid.

So far I have RF52 and Alan K. entered. :tu: If I'm missing anyone, please let me know and let me know which post you made to qualify. I thought I'd get my campfire shot in last week, but my plans fell through. I'll try again this week. (And remember, the definition of 'campfire' is rather liberal.....)
A refresher from the original post:
ICC #2: Campfire Challenge
Barry and I both enjoy getting outside and enjoying sometime out in the woods. Especially in the Summer. For each of us, it's kind of a....traditional thing to do.... Hey, regardless, a recent study has demonstrated that two hours of time out in nature per week is good for your well being* (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-nature-wellbeing/spending-minimum-two-hours-weekly-in-nature-tied-to-good-health-wellbeing-idUSKCN1TL2JL). So we put this little challenge together to prompt contestants to get outside, away from the Idiot box, or the YouTube, or the PlayStation, and relax outside with a friendly fire, aka, Ranger TV.
...
Here is your challenge:
Take a shot of your Traditional knife, outside, with a fire and post it during the challenge. You must make said fire during the challenge. A campfire would be great, but a backyard fire-pit fire, a well-fueled bucket fire, or even a nice set of Tiki torches will do. There has to be three elements in your photo: outside, fire, and a traditional knife. Fires are dangerous, so be safe, please.
(https://media1.tenor.com/images/8961107ac7c231e1a583cc3f6d460169/tenor.gif?itemid=9564695)
We are letting this run for the length of the challenge so that everyone can find some time during this summer challenge to get out, enjoy a fire, and maybe even make some s’mores. Oh,…bonus points if you use your Traditional folder to help make the fire.
From the list of successful entries, we will randomly pick a winner on July 31st (after the challenge is completed) to receive the grand prize….
The Prize: A genuine Zippo lighter (how’s that for traditional?) embossed with the Case knives logo (Double traditional!):

I think most of us have a similar way of sharpening--take bit of metal off the edge to get a new keener edge. But we each have our own techniques and secrets. ;)
So, to enter this challenge, you must 1) post a photo revealing the secret of your razor edges, and 2) post a photo demonstrating the sharpness of your edges. This photo must clearly demonstrate that your knife is sharp!
For safety's sake, do not attempt a photo of your knife shaving hair. (Although I do test my knives by shaving my limbs, much to Mrs Nix's displeasure.) My preferred testing method is a clean paper slice. And slicing into a previous slice really demonstrates a knife's sharpness. If I can cut my cut, I feel my knife is sharp enough. Please, also state that you are entering ICC #4 in your post so I know.
ICC #4 will start...right now. A winner, drawn at random from the list of accepted entries, will be chosen on the 27th. This gives you guys a few days to break out the stones and touch up the edge on the traditional you've been using all challenge long. (And given Fuzzy's difficulty with cheese, I suspect that he for one will need to figure out how to sharpen a knife....)
:facepalm:
A challenge needs a prize. For this challenge I'm putting up a NIB Spyderco UK Pen Knife:
(https://i.imgur.com/jElD5ds.jpg)
This is a fantastic take on the Traditional slip joint, but conceived in a modern way. This really is a beautifully designed and executed pocket knife. There is a crisp half-stop and the 'walk and talk' is lovely. When the blade is fully deployed, the index finger works to 'lock' the knife open. A nice safety feature when getting aggressive with cutting.
(https://media.knivesandtools.com/Exact675x450/108022/spc94pbk$01-spyderco-v201812.jpg)
stock 'net photo
The steel used in the blade is interesting: CTS BD1N (https://www.carpentertechnology.com/en/product-solutions/cartech-cts-bd1n-alloy/). I don't have any experience with BD1N, but I do like CTS-BD1. The addition of nitrogen (the 'N', here.) is meant to make it a bit harder and more corrosion resistant. This means better edge retention, but you'll need some sharpening skills......
(https://i.imgur.com/uvMdw1g.jpg)
In case my rules have been written in my usual confusing manner, I'm going to use my Day: 22 entry as an example of an entry post:
I usually use wet stones or an Arkansas stone to keep my blades keen. One of the most effective finishing stones I have found is a 'Garnet Stone'. This is a fine stone with small bit of garnet stones in it. As the knife is worked over the stone with a little water, a fine slurry forms, polishing the edge. This stone is a finishing stone. For more serious edge work, I'll start with a 300-1000 grit water stone or diamond stone and go to town on the edge. In this shot there is some residual slurry visible on the edge of the Soddie:
(https://i.imgur.com/Mzl4CWK.jpg)
The damp paper towel is there to keep the stone from slipping around.
Between sharpenings and after each sharpening I use a strop to really clean and polish that edge. I know that over-stropping can dull an edge, but I find that stropping smooths any residual burrs. When shaving with a straight razor, I find that stropping makes a big difference to how the blade feels on my face.
(https://i.imgur.com/FKo1r2C.jpg)
One last 'secret'. I've posted this photo before, but I'll do so again for this sample entry. Sometimes I find Im having a bit of trouble finding my edge when sharpening freehand. If that's the case, I'll paint my edge and part of the blade with a Sharpie marker. This lets me see where exactly I'm cutting steel. This seems to help me re-orient myself to getting the best angle for a particular knife.
(https://i.imgur.com/1mKkxhc.jpg)
My sharpness test:
(https://i.imgur.com/OkmKTBn.jpg)
You can see nice long slices, into other slices. The thin curly slices are a sure sign of sharpness. Success! :tu:
OK, there's ICC #4 and my Day 22 entry. I hope I, and awl of us, can learn something from each other about sharpening with this little challenge. Even if you don't want to win the UK Pen Knife, please share your sharpening techniques and secrets with the other traditionalists--we have a duty to keep the tradition of a sharp traditional keen!

I sharpen freehand. All I can say is practise, more practise, and still more practise. It´s taken me years to get it right.So I´m running into a little problem here. My trapper passes the paper cutting test even before touching it up.
Oh and I´m not entering the ICC but will see if I can do the pics anyway.
Nevertheless here´s a pic of my stones.
My method:
I sharpen freehand, with stone in hand, and moving the knife towards me either in a straight or circular motion, depending on the state of the blade. I´m using 10 strokes on one side, then 10 on the other, and repeat, with one stroke less, until I reach 1 (actual times may vary). It helps if you´re ambidextrous; if not, stroke the other side with the knife moving away from yourself. Then the process is repeated on the whetstone, with a drop of Buck honing oil. I rarely strop but when I do it´s on the rough side of a leather belt with some toothpaste.
Post by: SteveC on July 22, 2019, 07:06:54 PM
If blades are real dull they get an edge put back with either a whetstone or a small diamond stone. Then finished on my Lansky Turnbox. If they just need a touch up I'll either use the Lansky or a steel to bring back the edge.
One trick I learned is to use a piece of hardwood to debut the edge. You just draw the blade through the wood a couple of times when you are almost done.

I have two diffrent ways to sharpen knives, whetstone is my main way to sharpen knives. First on rough side then on to fine side where I make circular move towards me bout 8 times per side, i really rarely strop knives when i do strop i use leather to do it.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190722/9c7c1e5d02c43e75c6f5209807ebe43a.jpg)
My second sharpening method is faster but not so good, only when i need fast sharpening i use this sharpener, it has ceramic and carbide slots for sharpening.

I agree that the "pull through" type sharpeners that use carbide or ceramic cutters in a 'V' shape aren't as effective, but they can be handy! The difficulty for me is that since I usually freehand sharpen the angle of the carbides is usually different than my angle. Still, a good technique to know about. :tu:

This seems to help me re-orient myself to getting the best angle for a particular knife.

My sharpness test:

You can see nice long slices, into other slices. The thin curly slices are a sure sign of sharpness. Success! :tu:
OK, there's ICC #4 and my Day 22 entry. I hope I, and awl of us, can learn something from each other about sharpening with this little challenge. Even if you don't want to win the UK Pen Knife, please share your sharpening techniques and secrets with the other traditionalists--we have a duty to keep the tradition of a sharp traditional keen!
Nice! I was already planning on soaking the sharpening stones with water soon because the kitchen knives are getting dull :D, so hopefully i'll have some time before the 27th to enter this challenge, sounds fun! :cheers: :cheers:
I always sharpen freehand using different sharpening stones in an increasing grit, ending on a grit 5000 Japanese water stone which gets my knives shaving sharp.

I use a Sharpmaker. I really would like the diamond and extra fine rods but not at the prices they're charging for them to be honest.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/icc4_2.jpg)
Then on to the strop that I made.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/icc4.jpg)
To test the sharpness I expect the blade to glide through receipt paper without catching or ripping.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/icc4_1.jpg)
There was a specific injunction not to show shaving pics but after the receipt test I always move on to shaving arm hair. I expect my thin blonde hairs to leap off my arm at the touch of the edge. I can achieve that level of sharpness with the above kit without too much effort if it's a normal steel. If the blade will do that it will glide straight through food packaging without tearing or ripping and that's my real world criteria. I can do S35VN or lower easily enough with this system if the grind has already been set to the correct angle. Trying to use the regular sharpmaker with dull M390 was an experience I'd prefer not to remember.
My tip? Carry a SAK. It's so quick and easy to do, whatever the system. :cheers:

ICC #4: The Sharpening ChallengeI like the Lansky CAS as well for getting a nice, consistent angle. And it makes a sharp edge :like:
I currently use a Lansky Controlled Angle Sharpening System with 3 stones.
It sharpened Soddy excellently :tu:
I like it!
I'm sorry but cannot do the sharpness test any better with one and a bit hand only at the moment :salute:

OK, David has just turned this challenge up to ’11’. He has donated this vintage Camillus 66 to the challenge for ICC #5!
(https://i.imgur.com/ehvO6Ok.jpg)
Thank you, David! :salute:
Loopcutter has posted some shots of a similar Stockman during the course of this challenge, if you want to see more action shots. This a sweet old Trad and well worth a bit of effort!
Here is how ICC #5 is going to be run: We’re playing “Twenty Questions”.
To determine a start time (for maximum equality of chance), I used a random number generator to pick the start time with Greenwich Mean Time (https://greenwichmeantime.com) as a reference.
Results:
(https://i.imgur.com/IW7yCxH.png)
So, the game begins at 0700 GMT, 23 July 19. Use the link above to see what time it is now. (BTW, I’m usually asleep at that time, but the game can start without me being awake….)
=—> I have preselected a person who is known to whittle or carve with a small knife.
=—> The participant who correctly guesses the person I have in mind wins the Camillus 66.
=—> Each participant can ask one (1) ‘yes or no’ question per day and make one (1) guess per day. I.e. I must be able to answer the question with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ answer.
=—> The guess has to include the name of a person and a reason you made that guess, e.g. "Dolly Parton. She carved wooden spoons for her family members." (I don't know if Dolly has ever held a knife, it's just an example.)
=—> ICC #5 will run until someone wins David's 66!
Remember, no questions can be submitted before 0700 GMT. Once this gets going, I suspect the game won't last long. Pay attention to earlier questions and answers. Time your questions with care. And have fun! :woohoo:

Nice Mini Trapper :cheers:Day 22
No tasks for the Mini Trapper today.
So here's a beauty shot with its sidekick...
Post by: Rapidray on July 22, 2019, 10:29:13 PM
So I´m running into a little problem here. My trapper passes the paper cutting test even before touching it up.:like:
Nevertheless here´s a pic of my stones.
My method:
I sharpen freehand, with stone in hand, and moving the knife towards me either in a straight or circular motion, depending on the state of the blade. I´m using 10 strokes on one side, then 10 on the other, and repeat, with one stroke less, until I reach 1 (actual times may vary). It helps if you´re ambidextrous; if not, stroke the other side with the knife moving away from yourself. Then the process is repeated on the whetstone, with a drop of Buck honing oil. I rarely strop but when I do it´s on the rough side of a leather belt with some toothpaste.
Post by: Rapidray on July 22, 2019, 10:30:35 PM
ICC #4 Sharpening challengeAnother Lansky system...not bad at all :like: :cheers:
If blades are real dull they get an edge put back with either a whetstone or a small diamond stone. Then finished on my Lansky Turnbox. If they just need a touch up I'll either use the Lansky or a steel to bring back the edge.
One trick I learned is to use a piece of hardwood to debut the edge. You just draw the blade through the wood a couple of times when you are almost done.

Heres my ICC#4 picsNice stone :like:
I have two diffrent ways to sharpen knives, whetstone is my main way to sharpen knives. First on rough side then on to fine side where I make circular move towards me bout 8 times per side, i really rarely strop knives when i do strop i use leather to do it.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190722/9c7c1e5d02c43e75c6f5209807ebe43a.jpg)
My second sharpening method is faster but not so good, only when i need fast sharpening i use this sharpener, it has ceramic and carbide slots for sharpening.

I use a DMT Aligner Sharpener. It is a guided system that works similar to the Lansky.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190722/8b3a2e65f8b61d1996709cb46fb08348.jpg)
Sometimes between sharpening I will use a small strop with fine compound, pictured here with the Girl Scout knife which needed a good sharpening.

And now on to ICC #4: The Sharpening Challenge.
...
Blah blah blah...
ICC #4 will start...right now. A winner, drawn at random from the list of accepted entries, will be chosen on the 27th. This gives you guys a few days to break out the stones and touch up the edge on the traditional you've been using all challenge long. (And given Fuzzy's difficulty with cheese, I suspect that he for one will need to figure out how to sharpen a knife....)
:facepalm:

Day 22:
Busted out a little gem of a knife. Nothing about it screams quality, but it just works well. Paired with the Crunch(has no plain blade), I like it.
Made an opening in the Goodies box with the Sharp 260 today. I think the blade needs a little touch up, though it is usable. :ahhh

ICC #4
I use this double sided (medium and fine) Buck diamond sharpening card :cheers: it is roughly 1 inch by 4 inch and about as think as a credit card :salute: I carry this with me in my phone cases other pocket always :cheers: I hold it with my left hand and freehand sharpen, back and forth an equal number of times for each side or just back and forth. I also use the debur trick of passing the blade lightly on a piece of wood right before the final sharpen :tu: Here is this Old Timer that I made a few passes on over the fine side of the diamonds to tune it back up just a bit and then cut this receipt paper :cheers:
Hope this qualifies me :cheers:
I also have more sharpening gadgets and stones than you can shake a stick at but this card gets the most use because it is always with me :cheers:
We have a sharpening gear thread around here somewhere :think: I need to find a link :D

This challenge is just riddled with beautiful photos, cool knives, good uses, and pics that make me want to eat myself to death. :D
Day 22:
Busted out a little gem of a knife. Nothing about it screams quality, but it just works well. Paired with the Crunch(has no plain blade), I like it.
Made an opening in the Goodies box with the Sharp 260 today. I think the blade needs a little touch up, though it is usable. :ahhh

So i noticed a bit of vertical play a few days ago and thought it was getting worse, not bad for a locker but noticeable, after above picture i thought i better give it a good wash and i'm glad to say all play has now gone, it's now solid as a rock again :cheers:

It has good specs on paper(like brass liners and USA made), but has the poorish fit & finish of a budget Colonial knife. :)

Cool entry, Sos. I bet that system is a real gem. :tu:Thanks. I picked it up several years ago at a state fair. It does work nice, especially for those of us who stink at sharpening free hand.
(sorry, couldn't resist, but it does look excellent.)

Goodies are great, although I’m strange and prefer the taste of the plain over the flavored.

Some many ICC :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
ICC #4
I use this double sided (medium and fine) Buck diamond sharpening card :cheers: it is roughly 1 inch by 4 inch and about as think as a credit card :salute: I carry this with me in my phone cases other pocket always :cheers: I hold it with my left hand and freehand sharpen, back and forth an equal number of times for each side or just back and forth. I also use the debur trick of passing the blade lightly on a piece of wood right before the final sharpen :tu: Here is this Old Timer that I made a few passes on over the fine side of the diamonds to tune it back up just a bit and then cut this receipt paper :cheers:
Hope this qualifies me :cheers:
I also have more sharpening gadgets and stones than you can shake a stick at but this card gets the most use because it is always with me :cheers:
We have a sharpening gear thread around here somewhere :think: I need to find a link :D
:like: Need to get one of those myself. The cheap set of diamond stones I picked up at our local Harbor Freight is low quality, and the green (1200?) DMT pocket sharpener I bought is way too fine for all but decently sharp edges just needing a touch up.

Nice one! I recently got into Japanese knives; mostly the cheap stuff from the '70s and '80s, and my list just keeps on growing. I found one from the '80s the other day called the Precise Mountain Shadows; jimping on blade and lock release; G-10 handles, and I'm guessing AUS-8 steel. They are rarely high dollar knives; but are made perfect. I do know that Sharp is one of the few Colonials made in the USA they sold under their name. I have a Japan-made money clip from them. Hard to believe Sharp, despite being made by one of the most well-respected cutlers in Japan, was a Kmart house brand.

The DMT ones are great and if you have the other 2 grits to go with the green one you can sharpen nearly anything :tu:Agree, the 3 stone DMT system works nice even on fairly dull knives. My DMT came with the coarse (blue) and fine (red), then I added the green later.

Thank you very much David for the generous Giveaway.
And Jack for setting up this very enjoyable and fun challenge which found me stumbling into yet another rabbit hole...
Ok, so here it goes... even if my guess is wrong I do like this a lot so want to give it a try anyways.
Let me start with a quote out of a well known novel:
"All the stores was along one street. They had white domestic awnings in front, and the country-people hitched their horses to the awning-posts. There was empty dry-goods boxes under the awnings, and loafers roosting on them all day long, whittling them with their Barlow knives; and chawing tobacco, and gaping and yawning and stretching - a mighty ornery lot."
My guess: Huckleberry Finn (and a Barlow)
... because he’d whittle a tree branch, attach some line, dig up a worm, and catch some dinner!

I prefer using a small hand held stone for two reasons:
#1 It is always in my hiking pack so it will be there when I need it.
#2 I use water on the stone and not oil. Water is easier to find than oil is.
I hold the stone and will draw the back of the blade upwards and to the tip.
I touched up the blade and it is cutting nicer.

Like most of you traditionalists, I use the Lansky rod system too, although it's a very old decrepit one that's seen better days.
... (pauses - drinks coffee)...
However, I only tend to use that now, if a blades chipped, needs reprofiling or is in a pretty bad way. Most of the time I just use a little Lansky Crock Stick, which I find gets most knives, even really dull ones, hair-poppingly sharp with perseverance - the important thing...
... (pauses - drinks coffee)...
... I find, is to keep the rods absolutely clean and free of any metal particles with an eraser. Like Nix, I also use a Sharpy to help see what's happening.
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/74D98D28E3C44048902A.jpeg)
I don't tend to do the paper thing, I much prefer shaving the back of my hand or forearm, but here goes... Actually, you know what, I find sharpening a pencil is by far the best indicator of a knifes sharpness... Anyway, sorry, here goes...
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/4AEA15B4B7AA477B91C0.jpeg)
Also, I don't know if anybody else has found this, but I find that once carbon steel develops a patina, it's much easier to get a good edge. Anybody else?

I use various sharpening stones like whetstones or diamond stones and I have a Lansky fixed angle system for heavy sharpening
Today I used a very fine stone for fixing the edge on my Opinel.
I'm not an expert sharpener but my knives usually turns out quite sharp.
I don't really have any tips that hasn't already been mentioned as most tips I have picked up on mto anyway :cheers:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190723/826799d590c2ed5eb0f6039dabff79b5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190723/ed00e4ff0003033b46ed0026bbd5217e.jpg)

Why are you depriving yourself of your Leathermans. You are allowed to carry and use a Multitool during this challenge just not use the knife on it but instead use your traditional for cutting tasks .

I'm a sucker for a Trapper. :like:They are nice...they are so close in comparison to the 111mm SAK’s. That’s the reason I like mine so much. :cheers:

This has been a rough challenge for me. The traditional knife world is just not for me.:tu:
I haven’t even seen too many of the different brands/styles that I would be interested in.
I miss my SAKs. I miss my Boker. I miss my Leathermans.
It has, though, given me a great appreciation for those that can carry a simple traditional knife and be happy. I just can’t do it.
Doing the August Explorer challenge. Will be a relief. Haha

I’m the opposite...there being no right or wrong...I would have a hard time going back to doing a challenge where its only one model. Seeing a variety of different knives is more than half the fun of the challenge. The input and their experience add more to the challenge. I’m thinking for August I might do the SAK 30 models for 30 days on my own.

Day 23 - 3 Electricians, all different manufacturers.Nice collection of electricians :tu:
Top is a Colonial, with extremely tight back springs.
Middle is a Klein & Son’s I bought when college for working my wire boards.
Bottom is marked CAMCO and other side 229 is stamped on the tang.
Tried carry this morning off the Klein but had no use. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190723/5600ffdc883bb31363e472cda5b331ab.jpg)

Ready to roll tomorrow. Gotta take the dog to the vet. It can be a pain in the rear, driving the 20-something minutes to the same vet we typically use for livestock, and my dog really doesn't like the particular vet I've had a crush on since I was a teen (my dog doesn't get bothered at any other vets in the practice; and this is an all-girl practice anyway), and the fact the dog gets more nervous than me at the doctor; but it's all necessary to keep my mutt healthy.
And this time, I'm making danged sure I have my blunt tip Skedco Medic handy. The whole HVAC incident (which recently got fixed; an old friend of my grandfather ended up being the one who fixed it; it cost $1000, 800 of which was the R-22) would not have happened had I been using this knife. It ain't pointy, but it's sharp and will rip through anything it needs to. I do need to change out the section of utility knife blade that serves as a belt cutter. Still cuts, but I've wore it out on baler twine, clam pack, and paracord.

Can it be sharpened?
I figure it's easier just to replace the section; and it's intended to be user-replaceable anyway. I'm emailing Skedco to see if they carry a replacement (while an Eickhorn, Skedco markets this particular version, and is easier to deal with than Eickhorn). It's nothing specially made--just a section of hobby-size snap-off utility knife blade (3-4 sections?) screwed between the handle and liner. But it still cuts; which can't be said for 99% of the "seatbelt cutters" that knives often come with.

I did HVAC for the last 17 years...people weed whacking from 15 yards away can hit a rock just right and puncture the coils. It happens to anyone. Yes, R-22 when I left was at $445 a drum. Probably higher now.

My problem has been limiting myself to one knife for the competition, though it was my call.
While, normally, I carry a traditional (large stockman or Whittler) and a small victorinox every day, I have access to my old Leatherman tool should the need arise.

I don't know who that person is...... Interesting. But that's not the person.
The person has written a book
Is it Chris Lubkemann he wrote Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book
Nope. Sorry.
Is the person still alive?
No, but not Fuzzy's fault.

Today I'm guessing "Antonio Carluccio".
As per his own words...
" I whittle sticks. I started when I was very young by carving my initials, and now I have a big collection, many with elaborate designs that I have come up with. I may spend a few hours each day whittling. I get the wood from all over the place, often from the New Forest, where I pick mushrooms. I use them as walking sticks and, the other way round, to pin down a snake or turn a leaf."
Most importantly though he was called "the godfather of Italian gastronomy" and wrote a couple of cookery books based around Italian cuisine :drool:

A 6in bully usually gets chewed on over few days. So I put it away overnight, then if I trim just a little off the chewed end, he gets all excited over his “new” treat.
Yes, he is spoiled. But why have a dog if your not going to spoil it?

This is about as close as I can get here in mid summer. Having had to Bug Out for real due to a forest fire, yeah, fire safety outdoors in the the dry season is a very real thing.
First we make a bunch of wood shavings.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/fire.jpg)
Then we use the knife to fluff up some homemade quarter inch waxed jute. This stuff lights very easily from a firesteel and lasts a good long while. Really easy to make. Buy jute and put in melted Ikea tealights. Jobs a good'un.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/fire_1.jpg)
I've not made fire with a firesteel for a while. Good to keep your hand in I suppose but I'd take a mini bic any day to be honest. I have them in every bag, every coat and always in my trousers. I have UCO Storm matches in my bags for any real weather problems.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/fire_2.jpg)
Two strikes and we're alight. I never have such good luck with a firesteel out in the woods.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/fire_3.jpg)
and caught on nicely.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/fire_4.jpg)
Conclusion: The knife sucked for this job. I don't know why but the blade just wouldn't catch and bite into the wood. I've had it thinned out to make a wicked slicer but I've no idea if that's why it didn't seem to work on the wood. Kept sliding along rather than biting in. I've checked, it's razor sharp, that wasn't the problem. The other problem was the second (closed) blade kept digging into my hand with the pressure. I'm going to try making shavings out of that wood with an Opinel which is even thinner to see how it copes. I did try half way through with my camp knife and wow, that was so much easier. Proper big hand filling handle and a blade which bit straight into the wood. Was a joy to use in comparison.

EDIT: Just tried a Pioneer Pruner main blade on the wood (my Farmer is in the car and I can't be bothered getting it). The blade is far superior to any of the other folding knives I've mentioned above. Almost on par with the smaller fixie. Despite still having a pretty slicey blade. Ergo a 93mm SAK is the best all round EDC. You heard it here. :cheers: :rofl:

Sorry I’ve been absent the last few days, Saturday was spent pretty much sleeping since I felt a bit sick for some reason. Oh, I did get a package in the mail, so of course that had to be opened. Sunday I used it as a gent’s knife carry but no use. Monday til today has been same use opening parts baggies. I’ve been using it to cut up oranges and I think that OJ patina is coming along nicely. I bought a box of Topo Chico’s and I got to use the bottle opener today! Works great but my coworkers were afraid I’d slice my finger because of where the bottle opener is placed on the blade. I’d like to report no missing digits.

A 6in bully usually gets chewed on over few days. So I put it away overnight, then if I trim just a little off the chewed end, he gets all excited over his “new” treat.
Yes, he is spoiled. But why have a dog if your not going to spoil it?

It was just to trim off the unwanted parts of the treat.
You kidding, he was neutered over four years ago and still acts like he has the biggest set around. He doesn’t care what type of dog or how big. And he still goes after a female husky and pit mix that over twice his size.

YES, he did. In the respect he was rather distinguished looking and handsome....much like myself. :D

This might have been a normal carry for me today, were it not for the extremely high temperatures.
I´m not completely naked (yet) but still atm I don´t have enough pockets to go full Schröder.

Do you mean 492 and 493 ?
The 492 has a spear point main blade and the 493 is a clip point

Stopped by an "Antique" store, after an appointment, today, looking at their knives. Nothing caught my eye until I saw this on my way out.
It's a single bladed slip joint. 3 7/8 long with a 3 inch blade. Looks like someone took a grinder or dremal to the blade. Only markings say Stainless, Brazil on the tang.
Handle scales appear to be Bakelite.
Going to spend a little time this afternoon to try to rehabilitate it as best I can. Anyone know anything about it, let me know. Only cost a couple bucks, so I'm just playing around with it.

McStitchy has issued me a personal challenge to "put some patina" on an Opinel. Apparently he got tired of hearing me go on and on about how great all of the Opinels have been looking. And, he's right, I've been a wee bit jealous of some of the older ones with some good patina on them.
His personal challenge came with a Nº 7:

General Grant had two habits for dealing with stress: chewing on a cigar and whittling. He was noted to be constantly whittling, often turning big stick into little sticks.

McStitchy has issued me a personal challenge to "put some patina" on an Opinel. Apparently he got tired of hearing me go on and on about how great all of the Opinels have been looking. And, he's right, I've been a wee bit jealous of some of the older ones with some good patina on them.
His personal challenge came with a Nº 7:

I've got to get myself a few of those Russells. Not at all expensive, and quality knives. I have this one, from the 1880s or 1890s that's still going strong. It's an original, from over a century before Dexter bought the brand. Described as a "Wallpaper hanging knife" it has what I think are chestnut scales and a brass ferrule. Holds a great edge. I only use it as a desk knife; largely for package opening and picture framing work. Got it in a lot; really didn't pay attention to what it was, exactly; only wanting a folding fillet knife in the lot. The fillet knife was junk--this one is in good shape for its age. A little plaster on the handles is the only real defect.
Day 25. Switched back to the LT because I didn't feel like I needed a heavy knife. Since what I laid out to be put in yesterday was for a line that was resurveyed today (we've had an ongoing dispute with this property line that has been going on for a couple years; the surveyor that started this whole dispute by changing everything from a foot to a yard everywhere, has a bad reputation--he's nearly lost his license twice; or so I've been told by other surveyors I knew) and had rebar put in; it will need to be fenced off later. Today I cut weeds and did some other assorted yardwork, mostly.
So far, this challenge has got me into thinking one thing--I need to try out the Slim Selects. In shorts, especially those made out of a performance fabric, knives like to slip out. I usually carry a knife clipped to the waistband around the house since big ones don't like cheap cotton shorts.

Getting some of the grind marks out, but there's no way to get them all. I did find out, from a friend in Brazil, that it's called a "Pica Fumo" or tobacco pricker from the 1980s.

CPM 154 isn't quite as stainless as I would like to be honest. Not bad but you can't just rinse it off and chuck it into your pocket like a SAK. There were a couple of slight spots of tarnish but it seems that the Buck doesn't like having a B-A-T-H and bit me. Twice. It's so sharp I hadn't even realised it had happened until the second time.

Does peanut butter help build patina? :think:
I don´t think so. There´s oil but no acids.

Peanut butter is patina if you don't wipe it off. :D

And, no, 154CM is not a true stainless. Of course, you could always let it develop a....patina..... >:D :pok:
Wash your mouth out. :rofl:
Patina = disgusting dirt and corrosion justified by knife nuts due to cognitive dissonance and a mistaken idea that tradition masks the fact that their grandparents would have given anything not to have to worry about rust.
A clean blade is the sign of a clean mind. :salute:

Day 26.
CPM 154 isn't quite as stainless as I would like to be honest. Not bad but you can't just rinse it off and chuck it into your pocket like a SAK. There were a couple of slight spots of tarnish but it seems that the Buck doesn't like having a B-A-T-H and bit me. Twice. It's so sharp I hadn't even realised it had happened until the second time.

My preferred method is with the stone, in this case a 1000/4000
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48381294652_534fe48c95_z.jpg)
If i am out and about i will use the EKA, drag through carbide/ceramic type thing which i carry in my bag, the good about this is it also has a swing out fire steel and slide out striker, good for firing up the old coffee pot :salute: also on it a sort of mirror with a -- --- .-. ... . code alphabet printed on it.
The strop i do use, it's one i cut last year from a birch bracket, in my mind it does work although it probably wont compete with a good leather strop, it was free and they are readily available and the good news is if you cut yourself making one just slice a bit off and use as a plaster, it is antiseptic, anti fungal and has a whole raft of other beneficial uses :tu:

It just seems wrong to see the same knife used for opening cat litter to then be used for food. I’ve probably done similar, but never thought about it until you see the pictures side be side.

It's hard to understand the popularity of the sodbuster jr until you have one in hand.I know the jr. anything is smaller but that looks like a mini jr. :tu:
Even copies are nice as long as they stay true to the original.

Day 26. Finally found my missing laptop stylus and had to make a lanyard for it not to disappear this time (it is intended to have a lanyard attached to the laptop to serve as a leash). So, I cut and gutted paracord to have a line small enough to fit. Fishing line, especially the varieties I buy is pretty tough, but it tends to cut into whatever its tied to. The laptop is magnesium alloy, so a fairly soft metal (but not plastic!).

I hone my knives rather than sharpen them, unless they really, really need to be sharpened. For this I use this old German made steel and if that doesn't get the knife sharp enough to shave hair I may move to the Arkansas whetstone that I've had for decades. I figure the stone to be a finishing stone but I couldn't tell you anything more because I've had it for so long. I also have a Spyderco Sharpmaker and a Lansky V sharpener with ceramic rods, but I rarely use those.

It just seems wrong to see the same knife used for opening cat litter to then be used for food. I’ve probably done similar, but never thought about it until you see the pictures side be side.

Sadly after 27 days The Grohmann and me have never really connected, it's an awesome knife with Zero personality, is the only way I can describe it.
On the other hand I've owned the Trapper for all of three hours and can't put it down, I even made it my profile picture :tu:
Sometimes that's the way it goes.
My Case trapper, the Yellow one above, came with a so-so edge. I was a bit disappointed. However, some work with a fixed-angle sharpener put a wickedly nice edge on it and I've been thrilled with it ever since. It has, as you point out, some real character. :tu:
I do have a few little corrosion spots on it--I think from carrying it in a pocket on an hot and sweaty day. I'd recommend a pocket slip or caddy during sweaty weather. And maybe keep a little oil on the blade. :tu:
oh, excellent Avatar pic, too! :tu:

Yet, if I understand correctly, 4 is for your sharpening tools.
If so, mine involve a Work Sharp K & T Sharpener, using either the red and/or purple belts, the correct angle guide depending on the knife, and then a fine wet stone for touch ups.
Here is the setting and test sheet after a quick touch up of my new (to me) Case trapper, before it enters the rotation. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190727/eda5d5006f16607ca902f4649de719d2.jpg)

Month almost over. It's been all fun and games here but a major upheaval in my personal life. I gave in my resignation for work on Wednesday. It's been nice in a way to have something silly and unimportant like this (relatively!) to take my mind off the big things and all the stress.
Oh, sorry, you had to resign!
Having done that a couple times myself, I've always felt 1) sorry that I felt the need to resign, and 2) a bit liberated that I took control of my life and didn't stay in a bad spot. As the say in the military, if you are drawing fire, move!
Best of luck with your new life changes! :tu:

For the drawing, I randomized the list using Random.org and assigned each person the number of a card (sure I could have used Random.org to draw a winner, but since we had 13 entries, cards seemed like more fun):
Ace: Poncho65

6: RapidRay
7: Antti Lammi

Work day. Drove two hours back to my home town to do some work for the Moms.
For my mom I had to install a new belt on her dryer and replace the dryer vent hose. Once that was done, had to work on her old Mountaineer and get it running.
For the dryer, I don’t have any pics. Was a rough and dirty job. Only thing my 110LT was used for was cutting open packages.
My Hercules did the rest. Removing the screws and using the bottle opener as a pry tool to release the clips holding the top down.
My ST300 was used to cut the wire running inside the dryer vent.
Then, while the Mountaineer is running to build the battery back up, I came down to my mother in law’s house to put together an electric pressure washer she recently bought.
Used the 110LT to open the box...

And to cut the straps on the hose...
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190727/301dad2466e69e9af54ca635eefd07fb.jpg)
Most of the rest of the work was done using my newly acquired Locksmith. It did great with one exception...

Day 27:
Carried the Marjacq peasant knife today. Forgot to take a usage photo, but did use to clean up some windings and stripping asbestos wrapped wires in an antique Emerson table fan I am restoring. Bought some Cheese Straws on the way home to celebrate having the next few days off. Also bought a new digital camera today. It was $29.99 and 20% off(making it $24 after discount). Nikon Coolpix L27 16MP and 5X Optical zoom. :woohoo:
Used the Marjacq to open the tape on the camera box and to open the cellophane bag in the cheese straw box.

This was a long ceramic rod with a wooden handle. Yet my clumsiness and a hardwood floor made it a pocket sharpening rod. Thankfully these aren't expensive to replace--think I paid $3 for this rod.

I was once in a Fish and Chip shop on the proverbial 'dark and rainy night' in Auld Reekie. I had stumbled in mostly to get out of the cold rain. I decided to order the fish and chips and was then asked if I wanted "saul and sawwwce". "Sure". The sauce turned out to be HP sauce. Very tasty on the greasy chips and fish. Good stuff. :tu:
HP's not as good as it used to be, it got bought over by a Dutch company (I think) and they promptly up sticks and moved production to Holland (after saying they wouldn't). I do believe it's now banned in the Houses of Parliament - that's what the HP stands for if you didn't already know... Anyway, the smurfed it up and it doesn't taste the same. :facepalm:

I prefer the HP Fruity to the original, don't know if I would know the difference between the old and the dutch version.
HP Sauce and OXO cubes are two things that don't have a good replacement here is the US. Luckily I can get both online now :tu:

Probably only 10-20% will make a decent monkey, 95%+ make nice baskets, but there are a small percentage, that are split or broken that get trashed.

Day 28. Took Sunday easy (as I always intend to, but it rarely works out). Opened some feed sacks for the sheep with the Shield. The only other real work was changing the bedsheets and cleaning out my sock drawer.

:dd: wow that is like brand spanking new look wise! How long have you had it?
At the time two years. :) I used to eat a very salty salami at work which would end up pitting the D2, that and I like a knife to look clean. :tu: I don't have the knife any more despite it having been an incredible EDC, I sold it and a bunch of others when the kids needed winter coats and we were really tight for cash. I miss it, I had it reground and it was my sharpest, sliciest knife bar none. Never seen anything to match it. Looked great too.

The Trio does the job without fault, smaller than the Stockman, so better for some detail work when trimmed some masking on a paint protection detail.
And had been meaning to share that my son wore #65 when he played at Purdue and my brother as well at WMU during his time there and beyond.
Now, if you have 6 grandsons and 2 granddaughters I will start to worry.

Took just a bit of finish work on him today and gave him a bit of color.
Knife work is done. Now all I have to do is decide how he'll hang.

And the 112 Pro isn't a traditional....so it barely counts.

What's wrong about the "traditional" 112? :dunno:
Would like to visit the Buck factory myself to be honest. Enjoy :tu:

“Hunger never saw bad bread.” — Benjamin Franklin
European travelers were fairly horrified by the dreadful bread they encountered when traveling through the American colonies in the 18th Century. Americans seemed to be terribly impoverished and unable to make decent bread.
In Europe, wheat, and the magnificent breads made from it’s flour, was king. In the Colonies wheat was difficult to grow and expensive. Corn could be readily planted in newly cleared fields, and soon became the grain of choice. Corn meal was either used by itself or mixed with wheat to bake bread. Adding corn meal made the expensive wheat go further.
Many colonists, especially on the frontiers, relied on cornbread, often made with the addition of rye flour. This was known as “Indian and Rye Bread”. The term “Indian” refers to “Indian meal” which was corn meal (corn being a crop introduced to early settlers by First Nations people).
The resultant loaves were dense and crumbly, unrefined and humble, but very nutritions. It could rightly be said that the colonies were founded on cornbread.
So, in the Tradition of American bread, I made a rustic loaf of colonial Indian and Rye bread this evening. I baked it in a Dutch oven out on the BBQ. This hits fairly close to the bread the early colonists survived on.
I used the Opinel to slash the bread, thereby controlling the splitting of this crusty loaf. Razor sharp, the Opinel made for a great lame! The loaf looks bit pale because I dusted it liberally with corn meal to prevent sticking. One traditional used to make another. :D

Nothing!!! The Buck 112 is a gem of a knife. A little tank.
I just feel I need to test out the 112 Pro....to be sure Buck is maintaining standards. Someone has to do it...... :dunno:

I have to say this has been a real eye opener for me, in my younger days I always carried a simple two bladed Jackknife, I didn't value them beyond their function, nor did I own more than one at a time only replacing the one I lost, and that was a high number.
My wife gave me my first SAK, and that ended my affair with Jackknifes, so much more versatility.
Fast forward many years to when this challenge was first mentioned, I had already been checking out the Grohmann folders and thinking of younger days, this gave me the push to purchase.
Now, as things unfolded I quickly realized I was out of my league and ill prepared for this, and on top of that I didn't bond with my one traditional.
But with each passing day and all the beautiful knives I was being drawn in.
So to everyone thanks and you'll be seeing more of me on the traditional forums :cheers: :tu:

It's funny, Greg, I started with a SAK (Climber), then picked up Jack knives and, later, lock backs. Of course, I'd keep returning to SAK's because of their versatility. At home, it was a Jack in my pocket. Away on trips, it was always a SAK. Quite often it was a pair of folders, like a Buck 110 for bigger tasks and a SAK for utility chores.
If push came to shove, I'd pick a SAK like the Huntsman over anything else. Nevertheless, I find a simple joy in carrying and using a traditional folder or Jack knife. I find they have an irresistible charm and simplicity. They also speak to a more rural, pastoral time. There is a reason a Stockman has a spey blade. ;)
I imagine I'll continue to carry a duo of knives, rotating in a pliers-based multitool on road trips and camping trips, and the traditional will be one I reach for most often. :cheers:

That 5 blade is one of my holy grails. Yeah, for $20 I can get the current one from the BSA, but it's "imported". I personally wonder--how come so many of the early ones (based off the WWII Ulster Mountain Knife) have the Phillips missing from the tool itself. Weak construction? I know on almost all later iterations (Imperial, Camillus), the Phillips is one piece .
Day 29. Kinda cheated. Most of the day, I carried my early '80s Buck 703 Colt (first gen; which allegedly has the tendency to have overly hardened, brittle backsprings). Had it as a kid (truly, my first Buck; nearly a decade before the 110 came into my possession), not long after I got it, it disappeared. Finally found the thing in the top of a closet along with a couple others (my "backup" Schrade 34OT and an Imperial shell-handed knife) last year. I like the 703 because it's slightly fatter than any comparable Medium Stockman.

My first knife was a camp knife which is considered traditional by many. From there it was mostly SAKs with a few plier based multitools. The only other traditional knives I’ve owned were acquired within the last 15 years. I loved the way they looked and their simplicity, but never bonded with them because they didn’t have the same utility to me as my SAKs. Even with the more modern folders that I like, they would supplement but never replace the SAK or occasional multitool.
This challenge required me to give the knives more of a chance than I had in the past. It also gave me more of an appreciation for the traditionals, especially those with different style blades for different tasks like the Trapper and Stockman. But I also always found myself wanting the utility of my SAK. That being said I think a traditional in the pocket with my SAK is probably going to become a common practice. How could I not, especially when the new Soddie Jr goes so well with my Syph Yeoman?
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190730/f1ad2960ef2cff1c1294303acde23d76.jpg)
I’ll probably even purchase a few more, like the Case Half Whittler I’ve been looking at.

The only other traditional knives I’ve owned were acquired within the last 15 years. I loved the way they looked and their simplicity, but never bonded with them because they didn’t have the same utility to me as my SAKs. Even with the more modern folders that I like, they would supplement but never replace the SAK or occasional multitool.
This challenge required me to give the knives more of a chance than I had in the past. It also gave me more of an appreciation for the traditionals, especially those with different style blades for different tasks like the Trapper and Stockman. But I also always found myself wanting the utility of my SAK. That being said I think a traditional in the pocket with my SAK is probably going to become a common practice. How could I not, especially when the new Soddie Jr goes so well with my Syph Yeoman?

I’ll probably even purchase a few more, like the Case Half Whittler I’ve been looking at.

So many points that fit me also. A traditional knife will be with me on a daily basis also. :cheers:

I made plans to go camping a couple of times this month, but fate and circumstance were against me this July. So it goes....
I still wanted to get out and have a 'campfire' in the backyard before the challenge (ICC#2) came to an end.
We had a big thunderstorm this evening and everything cooled off nicely, which gave me an opportunity for an evening fire out on the patio. I decided to light my fire old-school with flint and steel. Well, chert and steel.

Top, clockwise: jute twine teased apart, steel striker, Opinel Nº 07, Chert chip with char-cloth on top
Since the Opinel is high carbon, I thought I might get a spark from it, but that didn't work, not with the chert, anyway. I suspect that the Opinel's spine is too soft. Or perhaps the size and angle made it too difficult. :dunno:
The forged striker worked well though, and after a few strikes my char-cloth caught a spark and formed a nice ember:

I think you can see (despite the blurriness) that the jute fibers start to smolder quickly. I mixed some wood shavings into the jute prior to getting my ember going. Once the jute flamed up, the shavings caught readily and I was fired up.

Nice evening for a fire. Lightning off in the distance for added a little atmosphere. Practice over, I need to get out and go camping now!

That 5 blade is one of my holy grails. Yeah, for $20 I can get the current one from the BSA, but it's "imported". I personally wonder--how come so many of the early ones (based off the WWII Ulster Mountain Knife) have the Phillips missing from the tool itself. Weak construction? I know on almost all later iterations (Imperial, Camillus), the Phillips is one piece.Thanks Cody! :cheers: I looked for one those 5 blade scouts for a while.
Day 29. Kinda cheated. Most of the day, I carried my early '80s Buck 703 Colt (first gen; which allegedly has the tendency to have overly hardened, brittle backsprings). Had it as a kid (truly, my first Buck; nearly a decade before the 110 came into my possession), not long after I got it, it disappeared. Finally found the thing in the top of a closet along with a couple others (my "backup" Schrade 34OT and an Imperial shell-handed knife) last year. I like the 703 because it's slightly fatter than any comparable Medium Stockman.

Well it's been a month (ish) guys. 30 days. Weird for me. I've carried a traditional for years without thinking about it much. Case, Queen, GEC's, Northwoods, Remingtons, Kissing Crane, Lionsteel and plenty others besides. That's not including the ones I carried as a kid, I don't think I knew what they were at the time even. So what do I think about having carried this Buck for a month? Well. This isn't going to be popular but I'd already come to the conclusion a while ago that I prefer SAK's and nothing about this month changed anything.
I got fed up of substandard build excused in the name of 'tradition'. Of having to send new knives for a regrind before I ever saw them. Of niggling QC and problems. Of patterns that are so close but just miss what I actually want in a pocket knife. I know that when I buy a SAK, I get a SAK. It will have a blade and tools which are a known and reliable value wherever and whenever.
This CPM 154 two blade Buck for example. I drop shipped it for a full regrind (0.015" BTE) before ever seeing it, the reports had been of a thick grind. When I got it I used potassium permanganate to make the elk sides match better, carefully and gently rounded off the sharp corners of the bolsters and worked the main blade until it had the snap required. It's now a great knife, an incredible slicer and should be a true pride to a collection. But. Prior to that I had bought a $9 second hand Spartan, chopped off the opener layer and created what was for me the perfect EDC pocket knife. While this challenge was going on I made a mkII version, this time I had learned from my mistakes and the action/pull/snap is perfect, truly perfect. Total cost was $20 for the new Spartan and about 1.5 hours of modding time. I get my perfect blade size and combo and a package which is custom to my own requirements but which wouldn't bother me much if I lost it, no big deal to make another. I can dress it up with custom scales (I have wooden ones on the way from Germany now) and it is all that I need, all that I want. Moreover, if I want a similar package I can buy a non mod but similar toolset off the shelf for peanuts anywhere and it will be a 'sure thing' every single time.
I carried traditionals for years, always looking for 'the one'. The one which would be my carry for the next decade or more. I never was a collector. I tried different patterns, blade shapes and grinds. Then one time I did a google search and up popped a photo of a Pioneer Settler and realised that I'd been looking in the wrong place the entire time. I'm sorry traditional world. I've carried some beautiful examples of what you had to offer but it wasn't enough. I honestly believe Victorinox is and perhaps always was my solution.

The Buck is for sale if anyone is interested. I hope someone else will bond with it in the way which I could not despite choosing this challenge specifically to see if I could learn to love it, I'd only carried it for a week and a half prior to the challenge.

I agree with you and the others who love their SAKs. The August Explorer challenge starts in a couple days and that should be fun.
While I love my little red Swiss knife, I'm on the other side of your coin. I find the Traditionals to be better cutters than my SAKs, both by design and steel. For that reason, I often pair a SAK with a knife. I get the best of both worlds.
I am glad you stuck with the challenge--it's been great fun having you along--if for no other reason than you have been lucky enough to find your 'one'. Some of the rest of us are doomed to try a few more (dozen) before we get there. :rofl:

I like traditional knives and have used and carried several models since I was 7 yrs old.
I was a tool of life, even carried to school every day.
However, time cause change, the world as changed, and people have perceptions that certain objects are bad.
Many of us have had to adapt, scissors instead of knives. Fortunately we yet can have both, by being discreet.
Today’s carry with my normal EDC buddy(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190730/f933bc179a4f4d4b9efee5c72d9a921f.jpg)

With stainless blades and a backlocked main blade this Gerber Stockman is not the most traditional knife. However, I could not let this challenge end without carrying it at least once.

These are the traditionals that got me through this challenge. A huge, THANK YOU!, to McStitchy for supplying the Nº 7. :tu:
(https://i.imgur.com/Me7iCO4.jpg)
Both of these have been great knives, each quite impressive. The Nº 7 has some great edge geometry for slicing, the Sodbuster (after a sharpening) has an edge that continues to improve as I slowly transition it to a convex edge. Obviously quite different, they both have nice egos and were joy to use.
I ended up carrying them slightly differently:
The Opinel ended up in a pocket caddy (slightly too deep for the Opinel, but it worked) next to a pocket wrench. The Sodbuster seemed to work best in a back pocket caddy, here next to a AAA light.
(https://i.imgur.com/q2DUot0.jpg)
Today I'll carry both to finish up the challenge.
This has been a fun challenge to be sure. THANK YOU to everyone who made this one so much fun and filled with great pictures, uses, and stories! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Last day, GEC 54 with a knife Grandpa gave me when I started many decades ago. I wonder if Grandpa would have used those traditional pattern that I had the privilege to use this month, if he'd discovered them back then.
My sincere thank you once again to Dean and Steve for helping out with my 54, and many friends I made on this thread..really thankful to be able to partake in this challenge, and I gonna post after thoughts once I'm at the computer.

Ron Who - Day 27 - The Untraditional TraditionalI like the engraved design on the bolsters :tu:
With stainless blades and a backlocked main blade this Gerber Stockman is not the most traditional knife. However, I could not let this challenge end without carrying it at least once.

These are the traditionals that got me through this challenge. A huge, THANK YOU!, to McStitchy for supplying the Nº 7. :tu:
(https://i.imgur.com/Me7iCO4.jpg)
Both of these have been great knives, each quite impressive. The Nº 7 has some great edge geometry for slicing, the Sodbuster (after a sharpening) has an edge that continues to improve as I slowly transition it to a convex edge. Obviously quite different, they both have nice egos and were joy to use.
I ended up carrying them slightly differently:
The Opinel ended up in a pocket caddy (slightly too deep for the Opinel, but it worked) next to a pocket wrench. The Sodbuster seemed to work best in a back pocket caddy, here next to a AAA light.
(https://i.imgur.com/q2DUot0.jpg)
Today I'll carry both to finish up the challenge.
This has been a fun challenge to be sure. THANK YOU to everyone who made this one so much fun and filled with great pictures, uses, and stories! :clap: :clap: :clap:

That's a good post about carry method, thank you for hosting this challenge with Barry!
Day 30 - A Buck Trio (small Stockman) has duty today.Cool combo and end the challenge, and I too am thankful for this challenge, it gives me a glimpse to what once might be without all the modern convenience.
I like traditional knives and have used and carried several models since I was 7 yrs old.
I was a tool of life, even carried to school every day.
However, time cause change, the world as changed, and people have perceptions that certain objects are bad.
Many of us have had to adapt, scissors instead of knives. Fortunately we yet can have both, by being discreet.
Today’s carry with my normal EDC buddy(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190730/f933bc179a4f4d4b9efee5c72d9a921f.jpg)
This challenge has been fun, difficult to keep up with, yet fun with great people with good looking tools.

DAY 30 (FINAL)
Well it's been a month (ish) guys. 30 days. Weird for me. I've carried a traditional for years without thinking about it much. Case, Queen, GEC's, Northwoods, Remingtons, Kissing Crane, Lionsteel and plenty others besides. That's not including the ones I carried as a kid, I don't think I knew what they were at the time even. So what do I think about having carried this Buck for a month? Well. This isn't going to be popular but I'd already come to the conclusion a while ago that I prefer SAK's and nothing about this month changed anything.
I got fed up of substandard build excused in the name of 'tradition'. Of having to send new knives for a regrind before I ever saw them. Of niggling QC and problems. Of patterns that are so close but just miss what I actually want in a pocket knife. I know that when I buy a SAK, I get a SAK. It will have a blade and tools which are a known and reliable value wherever and whenever.
This CPM 154 two blade Buck for example. I drop shipped it for a full regrind (0.015" BTE) before ever seeing it, the reports had been of a thick grind. When I got it I used potassium permanganate to make the elk sides match better, carefully and gently rounded off the sharp corners of the bolsters and worked the main blade until it had the snap required. It's now a great knife, an incredible slicer and should be a true pride to a collection. But. Prior to that I had bought a $9 second hand Spartan, chopped off the opener layer and created what was for me the perfect EDC pocket knife. While this challenge was going on I made a mkII version, this time I had learned from my mistakes and the action/pull/snap is perfect, truly perfect. Total cost was $20 for the new Spartan and about 1.5 hours of modding time. I get my perfect blade size and combo and a package which is custom to my own requirements but which wouldn't bother me much if I lost it, no big deal to make another. I can dress it up with custom scales (I have wooden ones on the way from Germany now) and it is all that I need, all that I want. Moreover, if I want a similar package I can buy a non mod but similar toolset off the shelf for peanuts anywhere and it will be a 'sure thing' every single time.
I carried traditionals for years, always looking for 'the one'. The one which would be my carry for the next decade or more. I never was a collector. I tried different patterns, blade shapes and grinds. Then one time I did a google search and up popped a photo of a Pioneer Settler and realised that I'd been looking in the wrong place the entire time. I'm sorry traditional world. I've carried some beautiful examples of what you had to offer but it wasn't enough. I honestly believe Victorinox is and perhaps always was my solution.
(http://www.timelessjewishart.com/EDC_zx/challenge/final.jpg)
The Buck is for sale if anyone is interested. I hope someone else will bond with it in the way which I could not despite choosing this challenge specifically to see if I could learn to love it, I'd only carried it for a week and a half prior to the challenge.
Nice wrap up! Like Nix said, at least you found that one love, which is all that really matters!

This has been a tough, but worthwhile, challenge for me.
Near the end I did come to appreciate the somewhat simple traditionals I have. I can’t say I’ll be in any hurry to run out and buy any more, but I really have a great deal of respect for those of you that have carried these types most of your life.
After so many years of Leathermans and SAKs, leaving the house, at times, with no screwdriver blades or scissors was stressful. Haha. I’m not one that likes to carry multiple tools on me. So a traditional and a SAK or Leatherman is not my thing.
For ME the perfect carry seems to be a Pioneer X. Has everything I feel I’d need. Wish it had a file added. I’m working on that. Haha
So for the last day I will again carry the little Buck 112 clone. It actually saw a lot of use yesterday.

Day: 29 (bonus material)
I made plans to go camping a couple of times this month, but fate and circumstance were against me this July. So it goes....
I still wanted to get out and have a 'campfire' in the backyard before the challenge (ICC#2) came to an end.
We had a big thunderstorm this evening and everything cooled off nicely, which gave me an opportunity for an evening fire out on the patio. I decided to light my fire old-school with flint and steel. Well, chert and steel.
(https://i.imgur.com/RJVqvcb.jpg)
Top, clockwise: jute twine teased apart, steel striker, Opinel Nº 07, Chert chip with char-cloth on top
Since the Opinel is high carbon, I thought I might get a spark from it, but that didn't work, not with the chert, anyway. I suspect that the Opinel's spine is too soft. Or perhaps the size and angle made it too difficult. :dunno:
The forged striker worked well though, and after a few strikes my char-cloth caught a spark and formed a nice ember:
(https://i.imgur.com/wMHScen.jpg)
I think you can see (despite the blurriness) that the jute fibers start to smolder quickly. I mixed some wood shavings into the jute prior to getting my ember going. Once the jute flamed up, the shavings caught readily and I was fired up.
(https://i.imgur.com/lTLnC9b.jpg)
Nice evening for a fire. Lightning off in the distance for added a little atmosphere. Practice over, I need to get out and go camping now!

These are the traditionals that got me through this challenge. A huge, THANK YOU!, to McStitchy for supplying the Nº 7. :tu:
(https://i.imgur.com/Me7iCO4.jpg)
Both of these have been great knives, each quite impressive. The Nº 7 has some great edge geometry for slicing, the Sodbuster (after a sharpening) has an edge that continues to improve as I slowly transition it to a convex edge. Obviously quite different, they both have nice egos and were joy to use.
I ended up carrying them slightly differently:
The Opinel ended up in a pocket caddy (slightly too deep for the Opinel, but it worked) next to a pocket wrench. The Sodbuster seemed to work best in a back pocket caddy, here next to a AAA light.
(https://i.imgur.com/q2DUot0.jpg)

Nice countryside and is that a lighthouse! :like:Day 30
This challenge was fun and entertaining.
Thanks Jack and Barry and also David :cheers:
I've learned to appreciate different blade shapes for different tasks :tu:
Also, I love the more solid feel of my trads compared to my celidor SAKs.
There's something to it.
Today I've carried the Case Barlow around Sheep's Head at the west coast. I've used it for an apple and to punch a hole for a straw of Matt Junior's apple juice pack.

Every time i have been around lately it's been either raining or too sunny/windy for a fire, this evening was ok so i thought i would get a fire going, good for the midges :tu:

Bit of fluff with a hex and some Eka sparks soon got it going, although the Eka has a striker i went with the knife, it worked but not very well, needs a file to get it to work decent but i will leave it, i have plenty with a decent spine

Day 30 :woohoo:
I plan to make a bladeless sak in the future and carry that with a trad :cheers:
I have the very same plan.
I've often thought it would be a good idea to make a blade-less SAK that was air-travel friendly. Could always be paired with a knife later. ::
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, considering knives are not allowed in some of the government medical buildings I go to fairly regularly. This challenge has made me consider it even more.
I’ve thought a good toolset would be that of a Yeoman with the blade replaced by a nail file like on the Sportsman. Now I need to figure out how to do my first mod.
Post by: Borg on July 30, 2019, 10:45:45 PM
Random repost - my large Opinels
:like: it is on my very long to-do list to mod my 12 and saw into one, in theory it can be done by widening the groove to accept both blades with washers, best of both worlds :tu:
Post by: Nix on July 30, 2019, 10:49:03 PM
I've never built one from scratch.
For me: Scissors, opening layer, mag glass, in-line Phillips. Maybe a nail file. Definitely an awl.....somewhere. Basically a Yeoman with an opener layer in lieu of a combo-tool/knife layer.

Ting ting ting ting...
Where do I begin, I'm not as articulate as I'd like to be tonight, so bear with me...
My relationship with traditional pocket knives is deeply personal and important to me and among other things goes back to my earliest memories growing up in Scotland and my relationship with my father... I won't go into it at the moment, but I imagine there's probably quite a few of you with similar feelings. It's also, in my opinion, an ageless symbol and token of what I believe it is to be a man and indeed a gentleman as unfashionable as that may now sound in this day and age.
Anyway... this has been an excellent challenge, in fact I'd go as far as to say that this has been rather remarkably. Not only have I learnt so much more about traditional knives, but I've also learnt so much more about all of you here on this forum - I've reaffirmed existing friendships and made a lot of new ones too.
So, with that in mind, I'd like to thank Nix and Barry for this immensely enjoyable challenge, Stevey and Poncho for policing it and keeping us all in order and out of mischief... well, sort of... and finally David and Dean for their incredible, if not rather freakish, depth of knowledge. There's loads of others worthy of mention too, but I'll look like an even bigger smurf if I keep naming people, so that will have to do.
However, I would like to thank the rest of you for putting up with me and my sometimes bizarre sense of humour and for making this a most friendly and congenial community. :cheers:
Love n kisses,
Fuzzy

I started this challenge out with just two knives - the Girl Scout knife that was my first knife and a Rough Rider Muskrat that was given to me by a ship’s wardroom.
Now my collection is even bigger. Thanks to Barry who passed on the Utica Trapper that he couldn’t bond with that ended up being the exact knife I had been considering buying. Then Nix’s comments and pictures about his Soddie and how he could open it one-handed, led me to another to great knives in the junior version. I was also lucky enough to win a nice little Craftsman as part of the giveaway. All different knives that I see playing a different role.

So many awesome knives posted here! And I have regained an appreciation for the old school knives as well. The Marble's camp knife will be a new component in the EDC setup. :)
Day 30:
To celebrate the last day of the challenge, I carried one of the more rare Case knives in the collection. It is a "Fire in the Box" Peanut. Paired it with the SideClip since all I have done today is change my PC drive to an SSD drive.

Well learned 2 things on this - 1) Case Trapper edges on the spine are rounded and SS???? so very few sparks and 2) my IPhone camera is way to many megapixels. So had to crop some!
Had to go to my GEC #44 Buffalo Jack - whole lot more sparks than my Trapper.
The tinder was some of the chips of green wood from the whittling challenge which was “oh boy, ain’t nobody going to see this!” :facepalm: Still a little green but also just dry enough to catch on fire. Cotton ball that was pulled apart so it would catch easier. No problem of it catching fire. And one piece of fat wood.
Definitely not camping but at home on the porch and 83 degrees so fire was small and in aluminum tray for containment.

I dug this set out of my fishing vest:
(https://i.imgur.com/u277SeC.jpg)
I mounted a ferro rod in a bit of deer antler for a handle. The striker is a small bit of hardened O1 tool steel made by knife maker Scott Gossman. The edge of the striker is squared off and burnished so that there is a sharp corner and slight burr. (Or there was, a close examination shows that it has seen a bit of wear.)
This little striker throws great sparks.
The lanyard just keeps the striker with the ferro rod. It is long enough that the two can be used together with ease. I have a couple of others like this tucked away in packs and kits, etc.... I can dig some extras out later. :tu: But this way, if I have my ferro rod, I have a striker. :tu:
Post by: Nix on July 31, 2019, 02:40:24 AM
In my post yesterday, I noted that I needed to make some more char-cloth. This evening, while the grill was hot, I made a replacement batch.
This is a pretty easy process; I imagine most of you know this already, but if anybody doesn't here is what I do:
Take some scrap cotton cloth and cut it into small squares. It has to be 100% cotton. Thin cloth works best, but an old t-shirt can work, too.
I put these in my char-cloth 'cooker', a little can, and close it up. You can see in the pic below there is a small hole in the lid of the can--this lets out smoke, but prevents actual combustion. Then the can gets place in or on a fire. The cloth turns into a charcoal fabric. (Charcoal is wood that has been cooked in the absence of oxygen until it gets carbonized.)
After the can stops smoking, I let it cool. You can se the results in the photo below. I had this fail once when I got greedy and over packed the can. Now I fill the can halfway full and then cook it. This seems to work consistently--and I get a dozen or more pieces of char-cloth out of the deal. More than enough for a season of campfires.
(https://i.imgur.com/gNxs4Mz.jpg)
Char-cloth is good stuff. It catches a spark from any source easily and becomes a hot ember. With some tinder and a little blowing, you get fire. So even with a ferro rod, this stuff can be useful in damp conditions. :tu:
And it's an old tradition..... ;)

I stuck with the 110 that started my obsession with the pattern. It's seen skinning deer, and who knows what with my great-uncle. With me, everything from hard farm work, to kitchen work, to just general wandering around the Back 40-something, to ceremonial use as my primary family reunion carry when I'm at the old home place (which remains in the family; currently with a nephew); the trailer my great-uncle formerly resided in is on property right next to it; so I'm carrying the knife where it spent most of its life. Once I straightened out the edge on the heavily abused blade, it's held its edge really well. The 110 is mostly a work carry for me. I do carry the Shield quite often, seeing as it's pretty much the lightest big blade I have. Can't wait to get my existing 112 fixed, and maybe pickup a LT version. January's gonna be fun! The 112 I can pocket carry in the front pocket without a problem. It's just the blade on mine is a lost cause seeing as not only is it 50-60% worn, there's also a huge chip in it towards the tip.
So, financial issues may have kept me from buying a GEC and thus switching over to the Buck challenge; but I've become even more a fan of a pattern I already like. Didn't carry the Selector once, which I'd planned to, but I will be picking up some blades. I do like that it is lightweight, better made than the LT, and has finger groves. I know Buck made a Bucklite version of the 110FG, but it is expensive.

I dug this set out of my fishing vest:That is nice! :like: I like that they are together and can be used as is! If the blade is a false blade (not sharp) that seems like you could wear it around your neck or not a good ideal?
(https://i.imgur.com/u277SeC.jpg)
I mounted a ferro rod in a bit of deer antler for a handle. The striker is a small bit of hardened O1 tool steel made by knife maker Scott Gossman. The edge of the striker is squared off and burnished so that there is a sharp corner and slight burr. (Or there was, a close examination shows that it has seen a bit of wear.)
This little striker throws great sparks.
The lanyard just keeps the striker with the ferro rod. It is long enough that the two can be used together with ease. I have a couple of others like this tucked away in packs and kits, etc.... I can dig some extras out later. :tu: But this way, if I have my ferro rod, I have a striker. :tu:
I have two of these as this one is for my day hike kit. And a second much bigger one with a hollow handle for material. Thanks for sharing. :cheers:

While I'm chatting about fire....
In my post yesterday, I noted that I needed to make some more char-cloth. This evening, while the grill was hot, I made a replacement batch.
This is a pretty easy process; I imagine most of you know this already, but if anybody doesn't here is what I do:
Take some scrap cotton cloth and cut it into small squares. It has to be 100% cotton. Thin cloth works best, but an old t-shirt can work, too.
I put these in my char-cloth 'cooker', a little can, and close it up. You can see in the pic below there is a small hole in the lid of the can--this lets out smoke, but prevents actual combustion. Then the can gets place in or on a fire. The cloth turns into a charcoal fabric. (Charcoal is wood that has been cooked in the absence of oxygen until it gets carbonized.)
After the can stops smoking, I let it cool. You can se the results in the photo below. I had this fail once when I got greedy and over packed the can. Now I fill the can halfway full and then cook it. This seems to work consistently--and I get a dozen or more pieces of char-cloth out of the deal. More than enough for a season of campfires.

Char-cloth is good stuff. It catches a spark from any source easily and becomes a hot ember. With some tinder and a little blowing, you get fire. So even with a ferro rod, this stuff can be useful in damp conditions. :tu:
And it's an old tradition..... ;)
Good kit Nix! :like: Which reminds me I need to make some more char cloth.

Barry and Ray, :hatsoff: I'm glad you both liked my pipe. It is my favorite. It is Bacchus, the Roman god of drunken revelry and a favored subject of the artists that carve meerschaum pipes. He is always depicted with a crown of grape vines, the most striking thing about this pipe is the face looks like Jack Elam, an actor that appeared mostly in westerns. He died in 2003. I always liked him.

Day 30. Final Day.
I stuck with the 110 that started my obsession with the pattern. It's seen skinning deer, and who knows what with my great-uncle. With me, everything from hard farm work, to kitchen work, to just general wandering around the Back 40-something, to ceremonial use as my primary family reunion carry when I'm at the old home place (which remains in the family; currently with a nephew); the trailer my great-uncle formerly resided in is on property right next to it; so I'm carrying the knife where it spent most of its life. Once I straightened out the edge on the heavily abused blade, it's held its edge really well. The 110 is mostly a work carry for me. I do carry the Shield quite often, seeing as it's pretty much the lightest big blade I have. Can't wait to get my existing 112 fixed, and maybe pickup a LT version. January's gonna be fun! The 112 I can pocket carry in the front pocket without a problem. It's just the blade on mine is a lost cause seeing as not only is it 50-60% worn, there's also a huge chip in it towards the tip.
So, financial issues may have kept me from buying a GEC and thus switching over to the Buck challenge; but I've become even more a fan of a pattern I already like. Didn't carry the Selector once, which I'd planned to, but I will be picking up some blades. I do like that it is lightweight, better made than the LT, and has finger groves. I know Buck made a Bucklite version of the 110FG, but it is expensive.

I've learned to appreciate different blade shapes for different tasks :tu:
Also, I love the more solid feel of my trads compared to my celidor SAKs.
There's something to it.
Today I've carried the Case Barlow around Sheep's Head at the west coast. I've used it for an apple and to punch a hole for a straw of Matt Junior's apple juice pack.
I so need to get back to Ireland. Lovely scenery and the friendliest people I've ever met.

Vintage Fuzz Day 30 (Final)
Ting ting ting ting...
Where do I begin, I'm not as articulate as I'd like to be tonight, so bear with me...
My relationship with traditional pocket knives is deeply personal and important to me and among other things goes back to my earliest memories growing up in Scotland and my relationship with my father... I won't go into it at the moment, but I imagine there's probably quite a few of you with similar feelings. It's also, in my opinion, an ageless symbol and token of what I believe it is to be a man and indeed a gentleman as unfashionable as that may now sound in this day and age.
Anyway... this has been an excellent challenge, in fact I'd go as far as to say that this has been rather remarkably. Not only have I learnt so much more about traditional knives, but I've also learnt so much more about all of you here on this forum - I've reaffirmed existing friendships and made a lot of new ones too.
So, with that in mind, I'd like to thank Nix and Barry for this immensely enjoyable challenge, Stevey and Poncho for policing it and keeping us all in order and out of mischief... well, sort of... and finally David and Dean for their incredible, if not rather freakish, depth of knowledge. There's loads of others worthy of mention too, but I'll look like an even bigger smurf if I keep naming people, so that will have to do.
However, I would like to thank the rest of you for putting up with me and my sometimes bizarre sense of humour and for making this a most friendly and congenial community. :cheers:
Love n kisses,
Fuzzy

Day 30
I started this challenge out with just two knives - the Girl Scout knife that was my first knife and a Rough Rider Muskrat that was given to me by a ship’s wardroom.
Now my collection is even bigger. Thanks to Barry who passed on the Utica Trapper that he couldn’t bond with that ended up being the exact knife I had been considering buying. Then Nix’s comments and pictures about his Soddie and how he could open it one-handed, led me to another to great knives in the junior version. I was also lucky enough to win a nice little Craftsman as part of the giveaway. All different knives that I see playing a different role.

Although, the Sodbuster Jrs will see the most pocket time with frequently being the carry partner with a SAK.
That escalated quickly :like:

While I'm chatting about fire....
In my post yesterday, I noted that I needed to make some more char-cloth. This evening, while the grill was hot, I made a replacement batch.
This is a pretty easy process; I imagine most of you know this already, but if anybody doesn't here is what I do:
Take some scrap cotton cloth and cut it into small squares. It has to be 100% cotton. Thin cloth works best, but an old t-shirt can work, too.
I put these in my char-cloth 'cooker', a little can, and close it up. You can see in the pic below there is a small hole in the lid of the can--this lets out smoke, but prevents actual combustion. Then the can gets place in or on a fire. The cloth turns into a charcoal fabric. (Charcoal is wood that has been cooked in the absence of oxygen until it gets carbonized.)
After the can stops smoking, I let it cool. You can se the results in the photo below. I had this fail once when I got greedy and over packed the can. Now I fill the can halfway full and then cook it. This seems to work consistently--and I get a dozen or more pieces of char-cloth out of the deal. More than enough for a season of campfires.

Char-cloth is good stuff. It catches a spark from any source easily and becomes a hot ember. With some tinder and a little blowing, you get fire. So even with a ferro rod, this stuff can be useful in damp conditions. :tu:

There were so many great looking knives this challenge. Keeping up with this one was the hardest but well worth it! A couple of them have made my want list.
One of the three has made it into my EDC...the Ka-Bar-Lo will be riding in my pocket. I usually carry 3 on me. Hip, pocket and cargo pocket.

Congratulations to all who completed the challenge and earned their badges. There have been many :drool: worthy knives shown here this month. I'm sure my wallet is going to take a hit because of you enablers.
It's dreary this morning. There's plenty of thunder in the distance, but the rain has cooled it off to an almost pleasant 79 degrees and I have a nice covered porch from which to smoke my pipe and have my morning coffee before the day gets too hot. The Colonial, 3 blade Electrician remains my knife for the day.

Day 31 Bonus pic!Great shot of your pipe...the details of those pipes is pure art work! :tu:
Congratulations to all who completed the challenge and earned their badges. There have been many :drool: worthy knives shown here this month. I'm sure my wallet is going to take a hit because of you enablers.
It's dreary this morning. There's plenty of thunder in the distance, but the rain has cooled it off to an almost pleasant 79 degrees and I have a nice covered porch from which to smoke my pipe and have my morning coffee before the day gets too hot. The Colonial, 3 blade Electrician remains my knife for the day.

Afterthoughts
(https://i.imgur.com/dou30Sx.jpg)
As said earlier, just thankful to be part of this challenge. Some afterthoughts after speeding a month long with my GEC traditionals, which I hardly ever do:
1) I used to collect a few traditionals, here and there, (Case, Queen, RR, etc), and am somewhat discouraged by their QC. But spending a month with these GECs really did impress me, they don't only look good, but also preform admirably as cutting tool. Though I didn't spend all my time with just one model, so I can attest to the durability of particular model, but sampling from different patterns, I think they do have rather high quality across board. Yes, it's a lot more pricier, but given it is semi-hand made with literally hundred of steps(unlike most modern mid-tech, where mostly are actually machine made instead of custom), owning one is in fact owning a piece of US knife making history.
2) As a SAK collector/accumulator, I love having a good old Spear point/Drop point on my blade. Yet, all these traditional pattern open my eyes to all different blade shapes, which I less likely to see or use in modern cutlery(BM, Spyderco, ZT, CRK, Hinderer, etc).
3) Even as a premium brand, I later learned that earlier models tend to have strong pull and some are just plain nail breaker. I am thankful to find the expertise on this forum to help remedy my GEC 54 issue, but it will be best to research on the model before committing to buy.
4) The one-arm blade is kinda gimmicky. If we wind back 1-2 hundred years, I think this might be a very good option to have if you need it. But given the abundant choices we have nowadays for one hand opening mechanism, this one-arm blade from the Farm and Field tool is more for experience than real use.
5) In the past, I tried venture out to more colorful scales(acrylic, dyed bone, etc), but no, still can't do it. I still prefer more traditional covers such as sambar stag or quality wood. I know it is just personal taste, but I felt whatever classic should remain classic...and sambar stag is just in a different class of its own.
6) Some patterns surprise me and did warm up to me, namely Toothpick and Pemberton(the pinky size). I quite enjoy a full size toothpick, the ergo was great in hand, the narrow profile is so easy to carry, and it cuts exactly like a laguiole. Pemberton is just a cute knife, almost like a Spyderco bug, but with more character and less sanitized.
Thank you for reading, and I'd hope you've enjoyed the challenge as much as I do.

:hatsoff:
I get it that collectors prefer a perfect sample of a knife. It's purpose is to be admired and not used.
So any imperfections would be an annoyance.
On my end here these knifes are getting admired too but most importantly used. They must be technically correct but I can accept the charming imperfections that sometimes arise from the individual craftsmanship at producing them.

You are much more forgiving than me :D , I just can't stand serious blade rub with marks, nail pullers, very obvious uneven grind, chipping blade(because it touches something), unless it was made a century or two ago by hand. Possibly because of all the spoiling from SAK.

Great write up!
Like you, I tend to favor the more traditional scales materials for my traditionals. However, in the case of Case, some materials (here I'm thinking of yellow Delrin) have become classics. I recall seeing those yellow scales around when I was a wee lad, so they have their own nostalgic value for me. And, they are functional.
When it came to getting a Case Barlow I really struggled. What would Tom Sawyer have on his Barlow? Likely wood, maybe bone. But there was just something so much fun about the loud Kirinite scales that I was drawn to them. Kirinite is a fairly modern material, so in some ways it is out of place on a Barlow. Still, I felt the scales celebrated the knife. That sense of celebration was too much to resist. so that's where I ended up.
And besides, McStitchy had taken the last really cool Red Bone model. :-\

I'm still torn between picking up an earlier Case Barlow (from about the 1960s-1970s and before) or the new one. But I really do like the Kirinite version! Barlows are working knives in my view--stuff like wood or Delrin is what's right at home on them. I carry a much cheaper 1970s Kutmaster a lot.

:iagree: Delrin seems like a great choice for the new classic Barlow. Still.....hard to resist jigged bone or stag.

Jack, awesome point on the (Delrin) yellow, it too indeed is a 'classic' color in its own way.
That is really a Kirinite well done, I can see why it could be attractive to you, even Tom Sawyer as McStitichy said. :D
Those two fall into technically incorrect for me and need fixing :ahhhSmurf happens, and to be honest, I felt modern website did a fantastic job on photoshoping all the knives' photo, and what you see is not always what you will get. :dunno:

Kirinite is a fairly modern material, so in some ways it is out of place on a Barlow.
I'm not so sure. Synthetic materials have been around long enough to be accepted in the traditional arena, and Barlows were always a cheap working knife, made with low cost materials. From that perspective, I'd say kirinite, or any other freely available plastic today, is more in keeping with the original mindset of the knife than exotic woods, mother of pearl, or other higher priced traditional scale materials.

Fair enough. And that reflects my thinking on Delrin scales, too. So, is Kirinite a modern (10? 15 years-old?) material in the spirit of the originals? Sure, I guess so. I like that view. :tu:
But for me the Kirinite is pure Disco. And these particular Kirinite scales are pure Austin Powers Union Jack. :D

With this challenge officially being over and the Explorer Challenge starting tomorrow, I thought I would test out what might become my carry combo outside of challenges.
I used the Soddie Jr for cutting open and breaking down a box, but then decide I’d rather use the SAK’s awl for getting the protective wrap off the new chair (less likely to cut pads underneath). Here is a picture of the tools. You don’t get the picture of the chair, because I’m already testing it out.

2) As a SAK collector/accumulator, I love having a good old Spear point/Drop point on my blade. Yet, all these traditional pattern open my eyes to all different blade shapes, which I less likely to see or use in modern cutlery(BM, Spyderco, ZT, CRK, Hinderer, etc).
3) Even as a premium brand, I later learned that earlier models tend to have strong pull and some are just plain nail breaker. I am thankful to find the expertise on this forum to help remedy my GEC 54 issue, but it will be best to research on the model before committing to buy.
4) The one-arm blade is kinda gimmicky. If we wind back 1-2 hundred years, I think this might be a very good option to have if you need it. But given the abundant choices we have nowadays for one hand opening mechanism, this one-arm blade from the Farm and Field tool is more for experience than real use.
5) In the past, I tried venture out to more colorful scales(acrylic, dyed bone, etc), but no, still can't do it. I still prefer more traditional covers such as sambar stag or quality wood. I know it is just personal taste, but I felt whatever classic should remain classic...and sambar stag is just in a different class of its own.
6) Some patterns surprise me and did warm up to me, namely Toothpick and Pemberton(the pinky size). I quite enjoy a full size toothpick, the ergo was great in hand, the narrow profile is so easy to carry, and it cuts exactly like a laguiole. Pemberton is just a cute knife, almost like a Spyderco bug, but with more character and less sanitized.
Thank you for reading, and I'd hope you've enjoyed the challenge as much as I do.

I too had been looking at the Barlow’s and when I saw the Ka-Bar-Lo with stag I had to snap it up. It is my first and only stag knife.
Great write up!
Like you, I tend to favor the more traditional scales materials for my traditionals. However, in the case of Case, some materials (here I'm thinking of yellow Delrin) have become classics. I recall seeing those yellow scales around when I was a wee lad, so they have their own nostalgic value for me. And, they are functional.
When it came to getting a Case Barlow I really struggled. What would Tom Sawyer have on his Barlow? Likely wood, maybe bone. But there was just something so much fun about the loud Kirinite scales that I was drawn to them. Kirinite is a fairly modern material, so in some ways it is out of place on a Barlow. Still, I felt the scales celebrated the knife. That sense of celebration was too much to resist. so that's where I ended up.
And besides, McStitchy had taken the last really cool Red Bone model. :-\

With this challenge officially being over and the Explorer Challenge starting tomorrow, I thought I would test out what might become my carry combo outside of challenges.
I used the Soddie Jr for cutting open and breaking down a box, but then decide I’d rather use the SAK’s awl for getting the protective wrap off the new chair (less likely to cut pads underneath). Here is a picture of the tools. You don’t get the picture of the chair, because I’m already testing it out.

Post by: David on July 31, 2019, 11:24:10 PM
I'm not so sure. Synthetic materials have been around long enough to be accepted in the traditional arena, and Barlows were always a cheap working knife, made with low cost materials. From that perspective, I'd say kirinite, or any other freely available plastic today, is more in keeping with the original mindset of the knife than exotic woods, mother of pearl, or other higher priced traditional scale materials.
:iagree:
Syntheic covers have been being used for almost a 100 years at least. Celluloid came out a long time ago. Other kinds of syntheics came out in the 40's and 50's. Delrin in the early 60's. Some of the old celluloid covers are beautiful but can start out gassing and ruin the knife and any other metal objects around it.

If someone is searching the internet for Case trapper, is it not that "case trapper.jpg" will be picked up on to better lead that person here? :dunno:

I'm still carrying the Case Barlow. I've tried the Vic. Cadet yesterday but grabbed the Barlow again today :dunno:
Anyhow, while I stumbled over my old trusty but neglected 3D Maglite due to the "Everything goes" challenge, I'm determined to overhaul it to make it more usable again, it has sentimental value to me.
It's 24 years old, technically it's fine but dim compared to my small pocket torch.
Even with the 140lumens LED replacement bulb I've put into it ages ago.
I'll see what I can come up with for it, so no money for more trads at the moment. Barlow, Mini Trapper, Sodbuster and Svörd Peasant will have me covered until then :salute:

Agree. The Explorer provides more creative uses, but the eye candy of the Traditionals was on another level.

For your Maglite, check out Malkoff Devices. He has drop-ins that produce 325 or 700+. They do require modding of the reflector or buying one of his modded reflectors.

On the #29 both the main blade and the secondary had a pull of maybe 3.5. Main wouldn't snap open.
The Schatt & Morgan was a Heritage series Single blade Jack . It was a beautiful knife but the blade would stick when closing with no closing snap.

Those quality issues were what killed Queen in my opinion. Especially given how expensive they were. On my two Daniels-era Queens, a Railsplitter was completely blunt out of the box. Then, a Q-Tac "Ladies Knife" (more or less, a Jess Horn) I'd bought last year because it was on sale for $30 (the Q-Tac line could have been another factor that killed Queen; lots of new parts for a line that sold poorly) had a clip screw that was stuck in crooked, and was blunt as well.

:like: I personally don't feel like I need another 110, but I'm really liking the new ebony ones and do definitely want one. Just as good looking as the original ebony 110s. Plus, it's wood that normally would have gone to waste. It's scrap from Taylor Guitars. Personally, I find the resin impregnated beech ugly in comparison. I'm hoping the 300 series eventually gets those scales. The $40 110 from the local Lowe's surprisingly has the "distressed leather" sheath with it.

Nice one! I've been looking for an older Sheffield one, roughly from the late 1800s, early 1900s. Unfortunately, a tad expensive; as these are considered mainstream antiques. And I'm sure if I put $200-300 in one, it would likely not be something I'd take deer hunting or in the woods. But I can afford a user Western W49. Saw one for $60; not too bad in my opinion.

Any history on those?
Post by: SAK Guy on August 24, 2019, 10:29:21 PM
Nix,
3 Generations of 1-7's (top to bottom)
Current production in A-2, Post '93 Effingham in 52-100 or 1095 and Pre '93 in 0170-6 (an improved version of 1095, specifically designed for cutlery). (research gleaned from the net) The high polish Effingham made one is new this week.

It’s a shame we are not aloud to carry knives like yours SAK Guy
I would love to own some but they would be display only >:(
Hate to hear that bro! I love the UK and carried my SAK while traveling there back in the 80's.
Conversely, Texas recently repealed nearly all knife restrictions and we can carry switchblades, Bowies or even swords down the street. No carry in bars, churches, govt buildings, school zones etc... Brass knuckles are legal this September.....we're an uncouth bunch I guess.

Nice knife shame the medallion is missing :tu:
Before this dang RA affected me, I thought of shaping a nice piece of thin brass as a filler for one. I had another one, a Dadely, that had a missing medallion. Think I gifted it to a relative but can't remember now...
That Russell hunter pattern always reminded me of what you guys call a Rabbit Knife.

The longer I go, the more I see trads as working pieces of art, like a good saddle or pair of boots. Functionality meets art. That being said, I've really fallen for the Trapper pattern. There's just something about the shape, and how well it fits the hand. I'm casting my vote and support for making this an annual challenge!
