Talking about your traditional knives

Looking good everyone!

Finished my 62 collection today!

This GEC Crown Lifter in antique yellow bone just arrived this afternoon. It has beautiful jigging and the all steel construction is awesome. I have been wanting a Crown Lifter and am sure this will be a new favorite user. I recently started appreciating clip point blades after a long-standing preference for drop point, spear point and sheepsfoot shapes. I especially dig the long pull and cut swedge combo on a clip point blade, as seen here and also on the main blade of my Waynorth Black Jack, which i have shared here ad nauseam.

:cool:

I've been carrying this lovely little Crown Lifter quite a bit.

I knew i was into the blade shape, the long pull, cut swedge, Crown Lifter, all-steel-construction-- but i didn't know how much i would like the jigged bone! Can't wait to see it age with pocket wear.

Nice butts.

I don't have so many traditionals, but these must be my favorites for now. I love my micarta Tidioute jacks too, but don't love the brass pins and scales/liners. Steel and nickel silver are much more pleasing to me than brass construction.

It's rainy here today, even had a thunderstorm this morning which is unusual around here.

Yesterday the sunshine was doing lovely things to the antique yellow bone.

It’s good to see you enjoying that Crownlifter, Enactive. Mine is also one of my favourites, and is often paired up with a Spydie.

The Blackjack and Crownlifter make a handsome pair.

Autumn Gold Peachseed jigging is one of my favourite jigging patterns on bone handles as well.

Here’s my spearpoint Crownlifter with steel endcaps during a hike in the Glens of Antrim in 2017:





In the last photo, if you look out through the ancient glacial valley of Glenarrif, over the soft haze of the Irish Sea, you can just see the coast of Scotland around Mull of Kintyre.

And in case anyone was wondering, the Spydie I chose to accompany the Crownlifter while I was in Ireland was the K390 Pingo.

Thanks, Cambertree! Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing. Looks/ sounds like an awesome trip and some great knives to carry with you. I haven't ever handled a Pingo, especially cool in K390. :spyder: :cool: I have yet to make it to Ireland. I've been to Scotland and would like to go to both next time.

I am inclined to get a drop point UKPK for a first Spyderco slipjoint-- i want to get the new version with BD1n. Wish they would do a FFG SE drop point blade. I am rather curious about the LC200n drop point UKPK that Sal mentioned.

Just got a GEC 23 in woodland micarta.
The 23 is a pretty large knife and it has a good bit of heft to it.

As usual fit and finish is excellent and the pulls on the blades are just right, about 7.5 for the drop point and a 7 for the spey.

Newest slippie to enter the collection. Eureka jack from Mike Moran knives.





As you can see, he does some pretty excellent work!

I know someone’s going to hate me for doing this but...

But this is the perfect blade/tool combo for me and I couldn’t find one in this configuration, so I found one I could mod.

Nice. How is the Moore Maker? Do you know who made that one? AFAIK, they have used a couple makers, but I know little of it.

It’s really quite nice. I’d say construction wise on par with any good example from case, with a little better finishing. These are made by Canal Street Cutlery, or rather the revised coop version that has since folded. I’m quite certain I read over on BF these in particular were made by Eric? (ea42 over there).
