Vintage edc?

[bighomer]

Me, I can carry and use mint knives as long as they are cheap and plentiful. I just can't bring myself to use any of my GEC's or vintage knives. Imperials are another matter entirely . Just me.

That's what it is all about Willy, doing as you please with what you have.

I recently received this vintage stag handle schrade walden. It's well used and had been cleaned at some point so I decided to force a patina on it and make it my new edc.

I'm still carrying the 861 that I've been carrying for over a month though, so for now I have two vintage edc's. It's more fun to carry old knives than new ones.

I was carrying this for a while, not as bulky as you might imagine.

On Sundays I carry the Case knife I got from my Mom who got it from my great grandfather, who carried it daily on a farm in the 40s and 50s or possibly even earlier. I restored it, derusted it and polished it as best I could but it was in ROUGH shape when I took possession of it last year. He passed 25 years ago.

[FRJ]

Nice family possession you have there, misterparker.

[Mumbleypeg]

Nice family heirloom. Looks like a 6318PU pattern that your grandfather obviously lived a lot, because he carried and used it, and didn’t mistreat it. Should serve you well also - you’re fortunate to have it.

And welcome to AAPK.

I have been carrying the same knife for 45 or 46 years dose that count? Been so long I can't remember at what age I bought it. I do remember it was my first not hand me down knife, I bought it with $ I earned moving bailed hay, and the hardware store that sold it is loooong gone. I have tried lots of other knives over the years and all fall short of the simple usefulness of my old Western854 Utility.

That’s awesome BC, got any pics??

[bluecow]

sorry no I don't have anything to take pictures with and truth be told I wouldn't know how to post them anyway

bluecow, had to look that one up, the Western 854 Utility. I can see why it would tackle about anything that needs cutting. Has the hawk bill blade lost any steel over the years?
