BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD

[bestgear]

Well played Jerry!

By your Spey blade description Q it sounds like your dancing the tango and love is in the air!

[jerryd6818]

the geometry of the spey blade on this Klaas has captivated me like no other. I really dig it. Definitely unique with a sculpted profile that takes the spey form to another whole level. I wish more Mini Trappers had such a cool spey blade.

~Q~

Exactly. One of the reasons I bought the first one. It's very close to the profile of the secondary blade on a Panama Trapper.

WOW!!! When ~Q~ said he was sending a prize because I figured out his little game over in the Mini TrapPER DIEM Thread, my imagination didn't stretch far enough to cover this. When I opened the box, my jaw hit the floor. I've admired these from afar for quite some time but figured it was just another one made from unobtaimium, to be admired but never to be part of my pile.

Made in 1991 as one of the patterns Queen used to reintroduce the Schatt & Morgan tang stamp, this 042 151 Mini-Trapper is just about as good as it gets. ~Q~ I've figured out that you are a wild and crazy guy but never would have guessed that you're this crazy. You humble me my friend. This is a spectacular gift. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough but it will have to do for the time being.

Thought I heard a loud BOOM this mornin'

knice shrapnel, and kudos to the Q man !!

[Quick Steel]

Jerryd, that S&M is a huge bomb. Double WOWs!!!

[QTCut5]

Just to be perfectly clear...it wasn't a "gift", it was a prize that was won fair and square for solving the Mini TrapPER DIEM Mystery Theme of the week contest.

FYI...Originally, the prize was going to be an all-expense-paid two-week Hawaiian vacation; but, between the volcano eruptions, earthquakes and hurricanes, I decided the S&M Series 1 model #51 would require fewer liability waivers!

~Q~

[jerryd6818]

~Q~, the prize could have been a Rough Rider RR920 two inch jack. But it wasn't. You chose a spectacularly awesome S&M Mini-Trapper and called it a prize. I, being a free born man, choose to call it a fantabulous gift.

Now behave yourself or I'll send this RR920 2" jack to you.

It seems the mad bombers are loose on AAPK again, two at a time!

Yesterday the bride comes in with the mail and dumps two packages in my lap.
Huh?

One from ecop and one from AZ, both via ebay.
Huh?

I've not ordered anything from the 'bay ...
Imagine my surprise to find two trapper style knives.
A RR in red bone and a Puma in 'stag'!

I can only assume a recent comment by me in regard to a lack of trappers
sparked the heart of two wonderful people here on AAPK.

THANK YOU both. I am humbled. ....

[jerryd6818]

Those are some lookers. Congratulations Chris.

[edge213]

There are some good looking knives getting "Bombed" here!

[jerryd6818]

Thanks a lot Chris. Now ya done made me go order one of those Pumas. And a Colt.

[bestgear]

Looks like the message from pilot to bombardier was successfully transmitted.....well played gentlemen!

[doglegg]

Wow, Royal, Happy for you. Bombs away and those are two knice ones.

[treefarmer]

We failed to go to the mailbox yesterday for some reason. This morning I checked and there were a couple of pieces of mail and a small plastic envelope addressed to Joy. Just joking, I told her that feels like a knife box. She said she didn't order any thing. Long story short it appears the Anonymous Bomber has struck again but from a different angle. The last bomb I received, I gave it to one of my good friends as he had expressed interest in a cotton sampler and I was chastised for not treasuring that gift closer to my heart. So now I got left out this time Miss Joy and royal0014 were in the sights! Joy loves green and her bomb is a very nice green colored RR Mini-Canoe for her purse! The color is called Peacock Bone by the RR folks. Miss Joy thanks the anonymous bomber for the special thought that went into this.

Miss Joy, happy for you that you got caught in the cross fire.

And it is all fun and games until someone loses an eye. And this beauty from Quintus just about knocked my eye out. What a great knife and a more wonderful gift. (I didn't win nuthin Q) A case, 6207, 2013 mini trapper, Wow! Beautiful scales and a great knife. Lucky for you Q that this knife is a sight for sore eyes, so my knocked out eye is feeling better. A very generous gift to an undeserving recipient. Thank you Quintus for an extremely gracious gift. Very humbling.

[QTCut5]

Floyd, your photos make that one look a lot nicer than I remember it being when I sent it. Even though it's only 5 yrs. old I think it had tarnish on it dating from the Eisenhower administration! Welcome to the Mini Trapper Tribe.

[jmh58]

WOW!! And I thought it was Thunder!!! Congrats to the Givers and the Getters!! Nicely done Gents!!! John

[QTCut5]

I can only surmise that the mad bomber who dropped this First Production Run stick of stag dynamite on me recently must've struck the mother-lode deep inside the Coleman Shaft he's been mining somewhere in the vicinity of ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS. He not only dug up a stunning Sapphire Blue Mini Trapper (which he wisely kept for himself--you can check it out over in the Ode To The 07 thread), but he also unearthed this sweet Stag Mini T which he generously gifted to me knowing of my proclivity for both Stag and Mini Trappers.
I have no idea how he knew this about me ...but, somehow he figured it out... ...Apparently, somebody's actually been paying more attention than I realized !!

Anyway...it's a beautiful, well-made knife (Seki, Japan) that satisfies yet another aspect of my personality that even he may not have been aware of when he sent it to me, for which my OCD thanks him repetitively over and over (you can see why over in the Matching Pairs thread).

Cheers & Aloha,
~Q~

[TripleF]

That's just how he rolls bro!!
Awesome gift from an awesome dude!!

[jerryd6818]

Aww shucks. Twern't nothin. Enjoy hoaloha.

[jmh58]

Very KOOL Gents!!! John

[Sharpnshinyknives]

I am gonna start a bnomb thread since I dont think we have a official one??


I purchased a Coca Cola knife from Scott (triplef) and when I opened the package I found the knife I purchased which is sweet by itself and then BOMB!
Scott sent me this awesome paracord that I really like a lot and this insane little Syderco folder, I freekin love it and its going on my keychain as soon as I get off the compuer. Scott I really apreciate the bomb my friend they are really cool and made my day! ::superhappy::

Gino bombed me a few weeks ago with these two beauties. Both are Sowbelly’s, my favorite pattern. This smooth bone one is gorgeous. Both were a happy surprise when I opened a box from him for the knives I did purchase. Thank you again Gino!

KJ, Roland Proctor bombed me twice in the past month or so. The first was a San Ren Mu tactical. Which I have used and must say is an incredible knife. The second one blew me away, it’s German made salesman sample, that Roland says is from around the turn of the 1900’s. A beauty made of pearl and in terrific condition w/ two blades, a file, scissors and a corkscrew.
I don’t deserve either and am choked up over his generousity. Thank you so much!
Knife people really are the salt of the earth.

I got Bombed today by Ed Landers. He put a pile side scale on an old Ulster for me as well as a fuller main and a shield and a pin for the can opener. The old Ulster is in the Q&A thread. In the box he added these other knives!! Thanks Ed! Your a fine gentleman and I am proud to call you a friend!!
