Part of my embarrasment comes from the package I got today, again from someone I never heard of (maybe because no user name?). Along with the usual suspects, Randy R from Asheville put in a brand new in the box red bone CASE peanut. So my face is as red as the red bone, but it won't keep me from coonfingering this little darling; thanks Randy!CASE peanut001.jpg

Re: P O S Roundtable 2019
Package showed delivered today, but I came home to an empty mailbox and driveway. Seems my darling bride made a drive by running kids around, complaining about some smell in her car. Finally she got home and my youngest was eager to help open the box with knives in it!
Seems as though the box was a little light, but everyone’s pile is different! A green box fell out of the peanuts and I was sure that Sharpcutsbest had sent the wrong box. A shiny new stockman, probably made by Queen in 2013?? Sure looks nice, action is nice, NIB! However, this one has never been sharpened! I think I may keep it that way as a novelty! Second knife I have had this way, the first is an old metal handles Cutco folder. Thanks!"I like Case, Queen, S & M, Fightn' Rooster and many more."

Re: P O S Roundtable 2019
Finally got around to opening the POS pkg from KleenCut61 today.
Things didn't look that bad at first; every knife was wrapped up nice and tidy like a truffle bonbon from Tiffany's.
But, upon removal of the bubble wrap, a curious odor began to rise.
Still, all things considered, and especially considering some of the other piles that have been shown, this "dump" wasn't the worst I've seen. In fact, other than the synthetic handle scales, there's no reason I can see why the Schrade 5OT Lockback wouldn't make a perfectly serviceable EDC. I'll probably toss that one in the glove box of my truck. As for the others...well, if anyone sees anything they want, just let me know. Otherwise, I'm all set for next year's POS Roundtable.
With the exception of the Sabre (Japan), it was very thoughtful of KleenCut61 to send only USA made PsOS...somehow that lessens the stench that lingers in the nose and the back of the throat just a bit.

Re: P O S Roundtable 2019
I'm glad that I had a knife to cut this package open, though I was not glad that I had to cut it open, but the dirty jobs must be done no matter the cost! The knife I used to cut it was promptly thrown away so as not to infect any others and possibly ruin my whole collection.
At this point I regretted that I hadn't done this outside with proper airflow...
Yowza, what a stench! I'll tell ya, being a plumber I have smelled some bad smells, but this was just overwhelming! I sure hope I can convince the trash service to take this, but I'll probably have to pay a hazardous waste fee!

Re: P O S Roundtable 2019
Ken, (thestretch71) may have only joined AAPK within the last year, but he obviously knows how to do a POS exchange!
I got the package in Tuesday after the Federal holiday. I kind of thought that the Postal Service might have confiscated the package or called in hazmat to remove it. We had a bunch of packages delivered Tuesday, late in the afternoon and not all of them were opened. Some were overlooked and left by the front door.
About 0300 hrs. my wife woke me up and sent me on a search and remove mission! She thought the puppy had gotten sick in the living room. She told me I had to go find whatever the horrible smell wasn't remove it from the household because she thought I had a cold I couldn't smell it. She only thought a cold was the reason I could not smell; truth be told I had fried all of my olfactory senses the previous week when putting together a 2 pound 15.5 ounce POS box that I sent to some other poor unsuspecting soul.
After spending a half an hour searching the living room with a roll of paper towels and cleaner, looking for a puppy poo or puke I could find nothing, because fortunately I could smell nothing. I did happen to notice a brown stain and peeling paint on the wall above one of the boxes by the door. When I saw the return address, I put two and two together and it might be the problem.
I sent the box outside in the bushes and forgot about it until yesterday when the city of Salem sent one of their trucks to our street with their poo sniffer technology looking for a sewage leak.
I saw the city truck coming and realize what was happening, so I took the offending box into my shop, got out my respirator and waited for the city truck to leave before opening the package. I weighed it first and I must say I was impressed! Ken had managed to get 3 pounds 1.5 oz of POS in a flat rate box, beating my record by a full ounce!
I got the package open, through tears filled, watering eyes I laid the knife like objects out on the workbench. It was then that I discovered there were so many knives I couldn't get them all in one picture. I don't have a wide-angle lens (for my cell phone) and my shop is not large enough for me to to backup far enough to get them all in one shot. If it hadn't been for the noxious fumes that were making me lightheaded, in spite of my respirator, I might have climbed a ladder to get them all in one shot but figured that that was living dangerously given the amount of green gases rising off of the pile.
I turned the fan on, blew away the worst of the visible noxious fumes and took some quick pictures. The pictures will probably be blurry because not only were my eyes watering but the camera lens on my cell phone was watering as well., This was the first time I have observed this phenomenon!
I was quite pleasantly surprised, there were some good possibilities in this pile!
The first row is mainly shell handle knives, and smaller knives at the bottom.
The second row starts up with four little Swiss Army Companions, the last of which was a nudist. Then there is a Kabar with used up blades, a Ranger with used up and broken blades, a cute little something with wooden handles and no visible markings, a beautiful little Diamond Edge with no hope the blades and a little peanut that I have no idea what it is.
The third row showed the most promise!
Right off the bat and opened up with a Craftsman fish knife. The handles are beautiful, the fish scaler/caplifter/hook remover blade appears to have not been used but the master blade snapped off right above the tang. Nothing to do with that one except replace the blade but I don't have a blade that will fit it among my two dozen fish knife/parts knives.
The Craftsman was followed by an M Klein with usable parts, and easy open that has had the nomenclature ground off of it as well as the blades thinned so badly there like paper. Beneath that is in Imperial which has lots of parts in it, in fact I think most of it is probably salvageable and beneath it a Made In U.S.A.which may have a good blade and a decent rear handle.
The ebony Challenge Cutlery has some potential. The large pen blade is good but the small pen blade is used up to a nub. Not sure what I can do with it yet but it should be fun. To the right of that row is a Easy Lap Diamond Hone, which is always useful.
BUT.............. (wait for it)..................... my favorite of the entire box was:
This little Ulster with the celluloid falling off the handles!
I have stripped the remainder of the celluloid handles from the Ulster and set it aside in my TO DO pile.
This was great fun!
And it's always interesting to see what sort of knives other people hang on to hoping that this might someday be able to make it better.
I guess I'm not such a sick puppy after all!
Thank you Ken,
Perhaps next year I can draw your name and return the favor, and probably a few knives also.

I thought it was over. I figured 'Reverand' had done about all that could be done to me. Mess cleaned up, product stored, sanity returned....then this happened. A fresh box in my mail box. I hadn't ordered anything. Who could it be from? Totally unprepared I opened it and to my amazement and horror ken98k had slapped me with a fresh (?) box of POS. When viewing his box I had innocently (naively) asked a question about one of his 'items'. I did not see the evil man who lives behind the tag of ken98k. To my shock and horror he forwarded it to me with an 'in your face' note. I am devastated but recovering. A double supply of POS! See for yourself.

Now I remember where I saw that (actually one like it) Balisong. I used to keep it in a cigar box with the other POS candidates but at some point in time, I moved it to my low-end knife roll.

I have “regifted” some POS before. But the sh, er, stuff I sent this year is all virgin, never before shared, from a new source! And there’s more where that came from. So I was happy to divest some of it.Kolvir wrote:I'm thinking that regifting(or resh*tting) is common here. I plan to continue that tradition next year!
But feel free to share, spread it around - after all, that’s the best use for fertilizer.
