There definitely has been some explosions going on in here lately.....and you know what I'm about to say, dontcha?
Yessir, caught me totally off-guard when Tony added this explosive in my Amber Across America salute to our dear friend, Ivoryman!!!
I am so thankful for this handsome, razor sharp (I accidentally got my finger next to the blade when opening it, and she bit me),
elegant, snappy, Sowbelly Rosecraft. I am humbled by your generosity my friend. Thanks everlastingly so much!!! ::handshake::

don’t underestimate the size of Tony’s heart because he’ll get you when you least expect it. Great bomb and great target.

TripleF bombed me beyond recognition. I won his case on eBay, bought his end of days lil folder on here and he sent me a RR amber bone gunstock trapper, several colonial little knives to rehandle, post it pads, pens, a paracord keychain, a kershaw spring assist, another old little pocket knife, a cut little cat holding a knife inits teeth hat ping, and somehow he still managed to send my order.
All with a nice hand-written note…

Was a very awesome package from a great man.
I kinda “Jo-Jo the Monkey Boy’d” over fixing up the Case I wanted but didn’t buy, then I went to buy it and it was gone. Was over on EBay so I had to message him to find it and win it, haha. (I posted the tune up in the repair/restore forum) I wanted and had promised Scott photos of the tune up, and so I thought sending him videos that I got the blade rub out of and polished it up, I didn’t get photos of my bomb package.
My apologies for that and I feel terrible.
None the less, thank you from the bottom of my heart to be bombed by the best.
Thank you, Scott.
Beyond appreciated, sir.

Tony from Corn Creek Cutlery sunk my battleship. ::handshake::

Tony has been my go-to dealer for knives to pair with my TCJR leather slips and my delivery today included a relic to be treasured in my heirloom collection. Camillus collectors please correct me but I think this 3-3/8” Sleeveboard Jack is model #227 complete with NS bolsters and half-stops on both blades. I’m tickled and intend to turn her into my new bench knife so she’ll get plenty of game time.

I’m afraid to place my next order with Tony since he sank my battleship ::shrug:: your the best Tony, your generosity has seemingly no end. Thank you!

Sorry for the delayed response, yes, I did. Looks like it’s going to make a beautiful strop.

And -
Haha, I’m leading your eBay lot of repair/parts knives…
Looking forward to winning that for some good restore projects.
Thank again, greatly appreciated.

I recently received a mega salvo incoming from our own resident friendly knife bomber Q. He sent me this beauty. I remember when he posted it last year, I was drooling over it. I reached right out to him and asked about if he ever was going to move it along, I would sure be interested. Flash forward to present day, and I am holding this amazing knife. What I didn't realize was this knife used to belong to our own beloved Ivoryman, and had changed hands a bit since his passing.

I was touched at Q's gesture to gift it to me. Knowing that I liked it, and even that it had belonged to Brian, but still passing it along to me, it means even more to me now being its caretaker.

Q, you are a generous and thoughtful soul, thank you again for your wonderful gift!

That is an impressive knife Glenn. It’s connection to Ivoryman makes it even more special.

Kevin (ka1965) actually purchased that Schrade 294 from the Ivoryman estate then gave it to me because I wanted to experience for myself the legendary Schrade steel that Ivoryman was always crowing about. After owning it for a few months, I can officially confirm that the rumors are indeed true; the vintage Schrade steel is super easy to maintain, holds a wicked edge and only requires a few strokes on a leather strop every now and then to keep it razor sharp. I can totally understand why Brian would carry a knife like that.....oh, and those bones are pretty sweet, too 8) I have no doubt that Glenn will be an excellent steward of that knife ::tu::
