Well folks, it appears that Dale (Orvet) has been eating at Taco Bell a lot lately, because I arrived home today to find a mysterious package in my home, and my wife and son passed out from the fumes!
I aired out the house, got the family a safe distance away, and prepared to open the package...
Package in place
Package in place
The first few knives were great! 3 TL's, a Craftsman, a Camillus , and a Colonial! These are perfect for some mod jobs that I have plans for! I began to wonder if Dale understood what "POS" meant.
3 TL29's - a Craftsman, a Camillus, and a Colonial!

Then two Gerber lockblades that would not lock. Okay, not great, but useable EDC knives.

Next was a beautiful H&B from New Brittain CT. The blades are shortened, but still a gorgeous knife! Then a Kutmaster stockman that just needs a little cleaning and some new handles, and it will be as good as new. Also was this Sabre Ireland fish knife that was . . . in worse shape. It looked like Dale had soaked it in oil just to get it open. It reminds me of my first knife mechanic project, though, where I rehandled an Imperial fish knife. At least I feel nostalgic...

Then I open these two BAD ... knives. An American Blade trapper and a Wards stockman with worn-out tangs. Man, what stinkers!

But wait! I still smelled something else....
Deep in the bowels (so to speak) of the package was this reeking, nasty, filthy thing that Dale had the audacity to send me! It is supposed to be a Western stockman, but I am not so sure...

Is that one aluminum handle? Re-pinned with a nail? And what can I do with those blades, use them for sewing needles?

I thought that I was going to enjoy some of these knives, but maybe later. Right now I am feeling kinda sick...

AND, this really nice Sabre 629 daddy Barlow that appears to have been rehandled in strawberry bone. Thanks Jeff!

I will bet it looked much different than this as issued? The point will no longer go below the handle and the kick has been ground completely off.

Well, I was just sipping some coffee after my lunch break....
Then the secretary says, "MIKE! There is a smelly box up here that has your name on it.... Come get it QUICK!!"
Pewwwww, yep, it had arrived. Thanks Herb..... I guess.... Uh.... Well.....OK, let me get a clothes pin for my nose.
So.... here is what it looked like on the outside.... "OPEN IMMEDIATELY".... It even looked really dangerous, don't y'all think?
DANGEROUS BOX.JPG
I whipped out my Benchmade auto and attacked the end of the box.
When the contents dropped out, I gagged twice and then started to unwrap what appeared to be knives....
Yep, they do sorta favor pocket knives..... see here.....
PILE O POO.JPG
Let's see....
A Jap, a Chinaman, a Kutmaster with an inferiority complex, a Hammer auto that jumped open when I least expected it.....
A Boker (With a SHIELD no less) that has a CUTE little secondary blade....
And a Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett with some sort of wood like substance for handles....
I thought, Hmmmmm the HSB isn't too awefully bad. I picked it up and started to close it....
DO GONE IT..... That joker bit me!
IT BIT ME.JPG
Y'all better watch out.... even the tamest of the poopsters will bite you!
Now, the boss is expecting me to have the office fumigated this weekend. The smell of the dead rat we had early in the week has gone.... so he knows where the smell came from.

Well,today the mail lady was blowing her horn and I walked out on the porch to see what the ruckus was,and he was yelling something and flipped me off.It's not unusual for her to flip me off,but she normally doesn't yell at me.I had an idea what it was and it was a box from South Dakota that was the cause.
I brought it onto the porch holding it at arms length and put it on the table.My dog was really interested in the box and started sniffing it and suddenly she started licking her butt frantically. I think she was trying to get the smell out of her nose.But I have digressed. Olde Cutler James knows how the game is played.He sent several POS's and a Chinese made 2nd Amendment knife.He also sent me a very nicely made turned walnut and maple ink pen to makeup for the stuff he sent.
Thanks James and well done. ::handshake::

It has become painfully real that Paul alias KnifeSlinger#81 understands perfectly the intent and spirit of the POS Roundtable. He has acquitted himself stellarly in this years give away. Imperials, colonials, a little switch blade named USA(?) and some that were too embarrassed to share a name showed up in my outhouse that was previously a mail box. To think that someone actually purchased these at one time! Paul, you have shown yourself a worthy participant. And did I mention that this load was voluminous.

The Reverand sent me this package of hazardous materials:

There’s some interesting items in there. I’ll bring a few of them back to life and put the rest in a safe place for future use.

I thought about carrying that switch but I didn't trust that it wouldn't open up in my pocket. It has nice snap, at least.

Well Fellers, Ol' TREEFARMER done treated me better than I deserve... :)
Here's what kind of goodies arrived in my mailbox yesterday!

Y'all know what a Boker USA collector I am, so I got a couple of good 'uns made in Maplewood, NJ ::tu::
I wish the old muskrat could tell me his tales. I bet he's got a million good stories heard while whittling and slicing maters for a mater sammich.
20200125_124227.jpg
Then there is this fancy SNAP ON device, that I'm gonna rip outa that package and put to use.
20200125_124236.jpg
Here's a big pile that will get some pocket time. The STAG brand knife was made in Ireland. Since I work for an Irish company, I'm gonna polish that one up and put it in my pocket for work. One of my other hobbies is fly fishing, so the little SABRE is going to be added to my fishing gear.

20200125_124322.jpg
I know a fine little boy who is gonna be the lucky recipient of the Klein and Winchester knives!

But the TOPPER was this NEW in the box CASE CV stockman! I don't advertise it much, but I also have several CASE knives in my collection - many of them are the 18 pattern stockman! But I didn't have a yeller one until now!
