Not so much as a bomb but a trade.
So a few weeks ago Dan in Michigan had a Spyderco Dragonfly for sale. I showed interest but it sold. Dan was nice enough to pm me and tell me he had another he wold sell. We settled on a trade and here it is!! With a bonus super cool paracord fob in my favorite color!! HOME RUN!!
Thank You Dan. Great trade!! And the DF is in the pocket!!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Bombed by an eBay seller. Thanks Michael!
Hi folks,
So I bought a Schrade Uncle Henry LB-1 on eBay the other day. I'll be honest, the seller's user name seemed familiar but I didn't put 1+1=2 together.
Turns out it was the same seller I bought those 5 Carl Rader MOP PEN KNIVES from a while back. The guy I told you guys the story about him & a friend driving around Solingen buying up NOS from closed stores. Michael.
Well he did put 1+1 together & after I paid for the LB-1, he sent me a message asking how I was doing, had I been Vaccinated yet ect. ect. And at the end he said, Your LB-1 is on it's way to you & I threw in a little surprise.
As it turns out, it was actually 2 surprises. A small sharpening stone & a brand new BERGKVIST Tactical knife. My first knife of this sort. (not counting my Ken Onion Chives) What a nice & thoughtful surprise! It's a very nice looking knife and it'll shave the hair off my arm. I wrote back to him again today and thanked him for his kind gift.
I will be posting pictures of the two knives in a few more threads. Then add a Link to this thread so I don't have to repeat my story everywhere.
Thanks for looking friends!

First one of his Great Carved Spoons, he does beautiful work. Next a Survival Lanyard which is over 12 inches long and must have at least 25 foot of Paracord involved, which also has a mini roll of duct tape, a led mini light, a multi blade screwdriver with four leaf clover for luck, a small knife lanyard, and one of his pens with some notepads. I really do appreciate it. I have already put the Survival Lanyard and Spoon with my light back pack I use when I go kayak fishing and use for day trips with overnights. Besides all the knowledge, camaraderie, and great people, it's things like this that also make this one of the greatest sites on the old interwebs.

Killer bomb, great pieces, and what a cool surprise from FFF. That's how he rolls. Sweeeeeeeet score, and love the Sycamore spoon. Congrats.

Not a knife but still unexpected which fits my definition of a "bomb". David (edge213) was kind enough to send this to me. Thanks David. Interesting reading.

Happy Independence Day, everyone! Ain't freedom just the greatest thing since sliced bread!
In the "spirit" of the holiday ("...the BOMBS bursting in air...etc.") Ivoryman saw fit to go all in and send a B-2 Spirit (aka, Stealth Bomber) to simultaneously strafe both Wharncliffe Monkey and Stag Monkey in a 2-4-1 bombing run that landed this direct hit.
I've been looking at the Little Rattlers ever since they first dropped (pun intended!) but just never quite got around to pulling the trigger because, despite how much I liked the look, I was afraid it was just too small for my taste. Turns out, the size, while smaller than I normally prefer, does not detract from this knife at all as I was worried it would. In fact, I really love this little beauty...and coming as a bomb from a fellow AAPK member sweetens the deal even more, IMO. WOW...once again an Ivoryman bomb has left me speechless in shock & awe...Mission Accomplished, Ivoryman (and Jade, oh yeah, I know who was really at the helm of mission control directing this operation ).You guys totally R.O.C.K. in the USA!!!
I doubt I'll be watching any fireworks today since I can't seem to peel the Monkeys' chicken eyes and coon fingers off this sweet GEC Northfield #19 Sambar Stag Little Rattler.
