New sub. Confess: I'm a lapsed Catholic, but I really like your message of soft words and trying to be courteous. Also a huge traditional pocket knife sort of guy. I joke my holy trinity of knives are Buck, Victorinox and Cold Steel. Look forward to exploring your content. Thank you much.
Traditional knives are still fun to keep in the left pocket and they are very useful tools that don't "offend" people. I carry my modern knives clipped in my right pocket along with a smaller 5tb pocket knife. In my left pocket there is always some type of traditional, typical a sod buster or sod buster JR that I made custom blades 10 years ago for them in cpm 440v at 63rc with very thin grinds. I just made two blades out of them last week that I've finished but not installed yet out of Hap72 that both came out in mid 77rc range with cryo. The old 440v blades have been sharpened many many times over the last 10-11 years so they was getting real thick behind the edge and is definitely time to replace them. I gotta get those Hap72 blades all patina up from lots of use can't wait to get them done tomorrow and get to using them. I've got two deer in the aging room right now that have been hanging 3 days so Sunday they will both be broken down and packaged for the freezer and those two sod blades will be what's used to start the patina.
I carry a traditional pocket knife. When I use it in public, it doesn’t cause anyone to think at me twice because a 3 blade traditional knife is not threatening!
This is the first time I have ever seen your channel come up and brother I love it. I absolutely agree with your 3 points. God bless you and your family and ministry brother.
Traditionals are definitely a unique style of pocket knife. I also love the proverbs a day study like I've mentioned before. But that proverb has definitely helped me in my life.
I still have the Case Sodbuster black handled knife I bought in 1967 to use at work. It is beat up and the blade is now black from age, but I will never get rid of it. I now carry a Swiss Army knife. I can't afford fancy knives, but I do have a humble collection. I appreciate the meditation. Thank you for that. I am a Christian and am now subscribed to your channel. God Bless!
I'm amazed that your Sodbuster is still around, Wow! 1967 was 4 years before I was born, I'm 53. 😕😂 I don't have alot of money so I usually buy cheap knives but I'm impressed with the quality of some of the cheaper knives these days; I like Barlow knives for EDC much of the time and these days you can pick up Barlows for $10 - $80-$100? Buying cheaper priced knives isn't bad because most knife lovers change their knives like their underwear. So it lasts you 2 years, toss it in the trash 🗑️ and buy another $20 knife. 😂 If you're a Barlow lover don't purchase the cheap $9 Barlow off of Amazon, it is junk. I love the look of it and the blade style but it is virtually impossible to get the pin blade open, very tight, the main blade opens pretty easily, though, a good tackle box knife. Anyhow, thank you for your comment and God bless you. 🙏😎✌️
God bless you brother ✝️🙏🕊️! That’s a bit of scripture that I really needed! I have a small collection of knives, mostly traditional folders. My favorite that I always carry is a Case red jigged bone medium stockman with a clip point, sheep’s foot and small Spey blades. I also have a Henkel farmer’s stockman that lives in my jacket with a large clip, medium Spey and a leather punch/awl with burgundy delrin scales. Another favorite is a Swiss Army recruit. Like I said, God bless you! Just subscribed 🙏
So glad i came across this video. Really love the message. My favorite and has been for many many years is the Sodbuster Jr. I have a modest collection of knives but it seems like one of my Sodbusters always finds their way into my pocket!
@@crossandcopperedc I have both, and I agree. The 112 is a better size/weight for EDC. The 110 would be a good folder for bushcrafting, although I'm not a fan of folders for bushcraft in general.

Honestly brother the knife and the videos what made me click same knife in my pocket everyday along with some others of course but that one's always there top shelf content new subscriber here
Kind of on the subject to anyone who wants to own a Swiss Army knife, don't put your knife in the same pocket that you're carrying pocket change in or you'll permanently scratch the scales on the handle. I unfortunately did that. 😕🙄😂 That Sod Buster is a nice looking knife and I'm planning on getting one soon, Lord willing. Thank you for the video. God bless you. 🙏😊
I agree with you about the heritage of traditional knives, in particular, knife makers like Case, Old Timer, Buck, etc. The traditional folders take me back to the older days when men were men. That is a nice looking knife. Thank you for sharing your video. God bless you in Jesus Name, Amen. 🙏
Current favorite traditional knife is my 2018 GEC #44 Buffalo Jack in gabon ebony. A total user for me. Runner up is my Moki glory with quince wood and ss bolster. Its strictly a dress knife though.
Just subscribe brother! I loved this video. I don't have any traditional knives at the moment, but I had 2 of my father's for years. Both were Buck knives, one was the 110 folding knife and the other was the 375. The 375 was a little more traditional in my opinion and I always liked it a lot. I don't have either anymore unfortunately. After he passed I kinda drifted away from pocket knives in general, but I recently got back into them and only have 4 at the moment (none traditional) But I really want a large, medium and small Case Stockman in either red bone or blue bone. And I need to add in a Sod Buster junior in Sky blue bone or Mediterranean blue bone.
Good points, great video. I have a fair collection of all types of knives but as you say there’s something about a traditional knife that just brings it home. Maybe because my earliest memories of knives were my father and uncles pulling out that slip joint type that always seemed to be on them and they never left home without it. Anyway thanks for sharing!
I'm complitly agree with you , a pocket knife is more than an object we carry , and traditional pocket knives , in my opinion , have soul , i still loocking for a knife (i own about 150) the last one to pass to my sons and they can say :"it was my father pocket knife."
New subscriber, love the content, looking forward to more. I always carry a traditional in my pocket. Majority of the time it’s either a Barlow or Soddy jr.
My favorite old school knife is a Buck 301 with Rose wood scales, followed by a Boker Tree Brand Stockman. I carry one of them every day. Love the channel.
Liked and subbed!!! Love me some full size trappers from any maker. Thanks for the Verse of the day!! Gotta get that Word in on a daily basis. Blessings.
The fact that it makes you have to slow down a bit really hits it for me. It makes you have to be deliberate about what you're doing. Love the history behind them too. MKM has a really great magnetic clip pocket slip that works great for these type of knives. (found that courtesy of Zac in the Wild)
History, heritage, tradition… the slipjoint will always have a place. I make a habit of carrying one on the weekends. I’m a leather goods maker, drop me a line and I’ll get a nice edc organizer or slip out to you. God bless!
I really like the vintage Camillus electrician knives. I carry one on me all the time. I also really like the Victorinox Swiss Army knives. I always carry one of those too. I also really like Buck knives. Anyways, great video.
James 1:19 will actually supplement what you said at the beginning. It's nice to stumble upon your channel, brother. Edit: Unobtrusive, would be the perfect word to describe that Sod Buster and other traditional knives.
A full size trapper has been working out for me lately. Big enough to cut up food without getting goo in the pivot and a heavy duty second blade for other things.
Good video really like the content. Personally I can appreciate the traditional slip joint knife but have never enjoyed carrying them. I don’t like not being able to operate it one handed and the lack of pocket clip. Overall I just don’t enjoy using them.
@@crossandcopperedc doesn’t take anything away from the knife though. Just personal preference. When I was a kid I watch my grandfather skin a deer with one of those. I remember being so impressed that he could do it so effortlessly with a small simple blade. They will do everything a guy needs a knife to do that’s for sure.
1st off, let me say thank u for the scripture reading... & 2ndly, my favorite "traditional" knife would be my dads old american made schrade lb7 (basically their answer to the buck 110) that i inherited when he passed... (& speaking of which, anybody got any tips of a good safe way to get the "green" off the brass bolsters without harming the vintage patina?) thank u sir
I love the new cross roads from case and definitely plan to add one to the collection. And I definitely think it’s somewhere in the newly added modern traditional category. The upgraded steel and torx hardware is definitely modern. But the design and it being a slip joint is definitely traditional so I think it’s somewhere in the middle.
