Well, it feels like I took a 500 lb JDAM from a B-1B Lancer from 30K feet ... but in a good way ! Our friend Q was generous enough to lazer guide this Northfield humminbird acrylic wharnified congress right into my driveway !! I'm overjoyed ... I've always liked GEC acrylics (majority of my little GEC collection are acrylics). The wharncliffe blade on this one is so usable - it's as long as could be possibly made with this frame. Just a fine piece of American cutlery. Thanks Q for your generosity, it means more than you know ::tu:: ...

Without divulging all the sordid details, I must confess there's a bit of a backstory to that Hummingbird Bomb that involves an unsharpened S&M and a free day-pass to the Lansky1 grindworks and knife spa. :wink:

Glad you like it, John ::tu:: I got one of those little birds for myself and I love it so much it has become my very first EDC GEC instead of a safe queen like all my other GECs ::nod::

What goes around, comes around or in other words: if you bomb someone, don't be surprised if someone bombs you ::paranoid::

This sweet little 2024 GEC #22 Bullet with Antique Autumn Smooth Bone came to me courtesy of my good friend and knife brother 'bestgear' Tom who apparently had sufficient surplus reserves of time and energy after organizing and administering both the Ivoryman collection sale as well as the 2025 AAPK Club Knife to BOMB me. I don't know how he does it....he must be superhuman, that's the only rational explanation.

I really like this cool little knife 8).....it has already accompanied me on it's first tour of duty around my village ::tu::

So.....a box was in today's mail, and I was totally surprised by this bomb. Three, COUNT 'EM, dandy knives!
An awesome old ebony, swell center Catt, a General commemorative, and a beauty of a Kershaw. As much as I badmouth (jokingly) modern knives, I do like Kershaw. This bomber was on the mark with all 3 of these. He knows I am an ebony fan. As far as the General goes...... a few years back, I was on a temporary work assignment in Atlanta. I would spend my off days exploring the area. Being a Civil War buff and train fan, I went to Kennesaw one Saturday to see the The General on display. It was good to see such a notorious piece of American history up close, and I am very grateful to receive this knife as well as the other 2. Thank you to one of AAPK's finest!!!!! He may wish to remain anonymous, so I will just say that when I looked at the return address, I realized that "knucklehead" and "Knippenberg" both contain 10 letters, the first 2 of which are k and n. ::hmm:: I owe you one buddy, thank you, and don't forget to thank your 3 lovely female accomplices! ::handshake::
