I hope there wasn't anything prohibited that will cause the pileup. Don't want to see what's happened there.

I've never posted pictures before or photographed knives. These were taken in full sun.
I've not photographed all of the contents yet because I wanted to see if I did it good enough. No point in boring every one with bad pictures.
Can't cipher out how to post them. I've seen the instructions before just don't remember where. Old age bites!
I'll search and hopefully post them later. Gotta run!
Thanks, Eustice!
Welcome!
Don't forget to wear the martenitsa I sent you tomorrow - 1st of March.

This is a very ancient Bulgarian custom. There are only hypotheses and legends about its true meaning. This is a symbolic sacrifice for the end of the winter. The colors red and white can be interpreted in many ways, but the main and the old one is clear. Blood on the snow.

Drukai, I knew there had to be a reason we hadn’t heard from you. I’ll be watching for my smelly box now.

Thanks Steve B.

So, I got this garbled text from my downstairs neighbor. It was something about a package in his room. Then it was something about another package buried in snow and old tires in the front yard.
Then he said something about picking up the good package and forgetting where he lives.

That’s gonna be kinda difficult...

I’m afraid to go home... ::paranoid::

I got home from work tonight. My wife told me she was going out with friends of hers. My daughter told me that 1st - she lost her wallet (we eventually found it under a pillow) and 2nd - that some japanese kid is coming over for a week. But I don't really care, because I got THE BOX! From Texas! ::ds::
In the box instead of the expected POS, I found 5 awesome knives!
My favorites - the three Camillus knives. My wife's favorite - the Italian Maserin. My daughter's favorite - the Gerber Paraframe Mini - she took the 8th photo.
Thank you, Rotten! Thank you for the friendly letter and for the coins, really! In Bulgaria we don't really have stockman knives, but I will send you the closest possible model of a Bulgarian pocket knife that I can find. Happy Granny Martha from us Bulgarians!

Well Eustace got lucky in a few ways.
First I couldn't find my bag of stinky knives after the rearranging of the house we did earlier this year. So even though the knives I did send were going into the package with a few less reputable knife shaped objects I couldn't locate all the KSO's.
Second, the cost of shipping to Bulgaria is a wee bit more than you'd think so what few KSO's that were in the pile were withdrawn. I wasn't going to pay to ship those. Plus I needed to keep the total weight down.
Finally, as to the coins. While folding the note I caught sight of the coins, which had been laying on my little sharpening table for I don't know how long, and just put'em in.

I am just so relieved that the box made it safely, that there was something for the whole family is a great bonus.

All the best Eustace,
Your new friend in Texas.

:x Whew! What a pile!
Ok, first the whole lot -
66610BD2-6CFC-4FAA-8DE9-ABD58A007AF5.jpeg
So, more or less in order,
Silver National Geographic Adventurer two part hobo, no country or company
White penknife Century of Progress Chicago 1933 Seneca Cutlery Co Utica NY
Red/Grey knife and pen Imperial Prov RI
Knife/Razor Whitetail Cutlery Pakistan
Yelloish celluloid advertising knife Quick Point St Louis
Silver white groomer Japan
Trojan TX Japan
Two blade jigged Colonial RI
Horn Handle Bullet Pakistan 13047
Long French Ivory Knife WH Morley and Son’s Germany
Black plastic handle Black Angus

I really like most of these knives! It must have been the old horn handle one that the neighbour was smelling.
Here’s some closer looks -

0C855DDA-D8B4-40DB-87E7-B292800EC9C5.jpeg
As you can see, there’s a lot of damage to the horn. Looks like something chewed it.

There is one truly evil knife. It’s the large, closed, black handled one. I can see Black Angus and a steer on the blade and the end of ‘Crane’ and ‘EI on the tang. That’s all I can see because it’s jammed shut tighter than my ex’s heart! It’s super annoying because I like the handle and I think it would be a cool knife. Aaarrrgggh!
Anyway, on the whole, a heckuva haul! Thanks!

Cut a strip out of a plastic milk jug (assuming y'all drink milk and have the plastic milk jugs). Fold it in half. Slip it into the blade well under the blade. Pull like the dickens and if that doesn't work, crank a vise down on the plastic strip and hook a team of mules to the knife. Giddy up

Good idea! I’ll try that. Perhaps margarine container lid would work.

It works great for those knives with nail rippin' strong springs and thin shallow pulls. "Do ya hear that Tommy? Yeah, I'm talking about your knife."
I've even used a business card folded in the middle. There's a lot more leverage out at the tip.

I just remembered where I put the picture I took of the one I made.

Eureka!
It's taken me most of a week but I reckon I've posted my first picture! I took the photos with my tablet but it won't shrink them unless I send them email to my desktop computer. Then I migrate it to a folder and finally to this thread.
I'll add the rest of the photos as I can and I'll need to finish taking photos of the rest of the Pile Of Stuff from Eustice.

Eustice, I read your posting Friday morning before I took my wife to the doctor and wore your martenitsa all day. Folks looked at it but the only comment I got was from her doctor. She was so curious she googled it before she started treating my wife. :)
