BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD

[Madmarco]

Congratulations, Jeff!
With that many blades you'll be pumping out new restores for a good couple of years.
That was a fine "bomb", Jamie, good on you!

[doglegg]

Great bomb Jamie. Jeff you got a bonanza.

[Dan In MI]

Well done, Jamie! Jeff, what patterns did that lot contain?

[JamieinWV]

Thanks guy, I knew he would get more use out of them than me…you ever get tired of sh!¥ in the way and tired of moving it or tripping over stuff… I told my wife if I ever catch anyone breaking into my garage to steal stuff, I’m blocking the driveway and they ain’t leaving until they get a full truck.

[Dan In MI]

I know that feeling all too well, Jamie!

[Jeffinn]

Well done, Jamie! Jeff, what patterns did that lot contain?

Hi Adan,
I haven’t cataloged them yet but it looks like there’s some of just about every pattern made by Schrade. I’ll get them sorted this week (hopefully).

I received these two from Madmarco the other day. The brass handled one was for me and the black handled Columbia was for my wife. Mark is so thoughtful to include my wife in this. The brass handled one has a Damascus blade with all brass components. I like the way they fish scaled or peacock feathered the brass bolsters, not sure if that is a correct term for this. It’s a nice touch along with the file work on the liners. Mark said the handle is camel bone and I really like the coloration of this. I like the way this knife just flows into the point on the dagger blade. The black one is already in use, my wife pocketed it the second she heard it was for her, she uses a knife shipping our knives to customers way more than I use a knife on a daily basis.
Thank you Mark for your generosity.

Congrats, great looking pair, love seeing that dagger again. Beautiful work of art. Nice of Ali to bomb you so big.

I’ll get them sorted this week (hopefully).

It looks like that will be a somewhat involved undertaking. I have a couple of Schrades that might benefit from some of that stock. Will PM you a photo of them.

Thanks it is a beautiful knife. It was Madmarco on this one. Ali was on the last one I was bombed with.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, thanks for the correction. Wouldn't want to leave Marco out of the compliments loop. Way to go Marco, great thought and action. Congrats again Mark, great piece. Great of Marco to think of you for that too.

[Madmarco]

Thanks for all the fine compliments guys, but they should be directed at the recipients of the "BOMBS", they're the ones deserving of praise, I was simply the messenger!

Happy to report another bombing run as even as I was still marveling over the acquisition of a few Case 6207s recently from a fellow brother here on AAPK. And then, before the dust settled, was hit with a complete surprise out of the mail box and came tumbling into my camp and blew me away. Inside the box was another Mini T, 6207. Boooooooom. That's the kind of guy he is. I don't even have to mention his name, just show off his knives and you'll know who I'm talking about. Been hit severely. Wow. Thanks, thanks thanks to the bomber!

[doglegg]

Beautiful knives Iman and a beautiful gesture on Q's part.

[QTCut5]

To be perfectly clear and set the record straight....The USA era Redbone 6207 wasn't a "Bomb" so much as an attempt by me to even the score for Ivoryman paying more than my asking price on the three Chestnut Bone 07s he bought from me...because that's the kind of guy he is!

[Ivoryman]

You're too kind Bro, thanks so much and I appreciate it too, but to be fair when I get a knife in the mail unexpectedly, without knowing about it, or ordering it, or making a deal for it, or paying for it, then it's a bomb to me. So to me it was an amazing bombing run to be sure and such a fine gesture of goodwill it amazes me still. Always a lift when that happens. Thanks again for a great group of knives. I love every one. Made my whole month.

I was warned and still got hit broadside by KLJ77 today. I was alerted to a package heading my way and figured that Ken had over-purchased some Quick Lube or Eagle Tears and was sharing the wealth - man was I wrong!

Today I received a Custom Buck 403, #396 of 2003 to be exact, a Big Sky fixed-blade with an Eagle Cutout (I wonder if Ken knew that I'm an Eagle Scout ) and Walnut Handles with a Feather Inlay on each side. This knife has just an amazing look and feel to it and shows quality and craftsmanship in every way. The sheath is smooth high-grade leather with a clip fastener that looks and smells like the inside of a Ferrari!

I'm stunned on many fronts but mostly because Ken knew that I'd take care of this treasure always and provide a pathway to the next generation through my sons - in short, it will never be sold. As a matter of fact, the Big Sky that I won in the April 2021 monthly giveaway where Ken was the donor will go to one of my sons and this Big Sky will go to my other son - everyone's happy

Thank you, Brother Ken, I'm honored to call you my friend, and will care for this heirloom to the best of my ability. The bromance continues............

Great target and bomb Ken
You did great and what a beautiful knife. I love target specific ordinance and this was perfect.
Tom you are a worthy target for all you do here.

[Ivoryman]

Way to go Ken, great gesture and sweet knife. Always nice to see all the generosity and good will around here.

[Dan In MI]

Congratulations, Tom, and a great bomb run by Ken!

Yesterday afternoon, my trip to the post office produced the three pocket knives pictured below. They were sent to me by John (1967redrider). A special THANK YOU goes out to John for his most generous and thoughtful gifts.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

All the pleasure was mine, Tom. It was an honor to pass the Big Sky your way. It is now in much better hands.

[Dan In MI]

Congratulations, Skip, and great bombing run by John! Being a fan of both Miracle Whip and 1978 knives, that's one that I should hunt for.

[New_Windsor_NY]

Congratulations.....

Thank you, Dan.
1978 Miracle Whip pocket
knives are fairly easy to find.

[Madmarco]

Nice bombing raid, Skip!
Good on John for being the pilot!
All-metal knives, how cool are they!

[New_Windsor_NY]

Nice.....

Thank you, Madmarco.
