All boxed up. Beware of the ides of March ! Lol

The outside of your box looks pristine, unlike mine. lol

Olde cutter by the luck of the draw you are the recipient of the “pristine box) .I sent You a pm with the tracking # not sure if the pm went through ? I usually have the Kidd do those things for me because I’m not that great when it comes to using tech .and she is gone for the weekend . Enjoy.

[Jody744]

Boy will my PO hate me on Monday……

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

You should be receiving a dirty, ugly, smelly box of crude very soon

......thanks?

Im a stay at home dad of three rowdy toddlers. I live, sleep, eat and breathe dirty ugly and crude all day every day. Your box will probably be a breath of fresh air! Even with the caustic vapors.

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

Enjoy

Likewise my friend. I didn't catch the mail pickup time today. You've yet time to prepare....

[thestretch71]

If it fits... It Ships.
Challenge Accepted

I almost got it up to 4 pounds.

I will be so happy to go back to my regular diet. Raisin Bran - Not a Fan
My wife is going to be pretty ticked though when she find out what I did with the food sealer machine.
If you don't properly seal up your "samples" USPS might not deliver due to leakage.

[galvanic1882]

Ok royal0014 your box of stinky stuff goes out in the AM, enjoy the smell it will last a long time

[Kolvir]

Whoever is buddy2.2, please send me a private message. There is no one matching that name in the AAPK user list, but is was filled out in the form that way.
I contacted someone with a username close to that, but haven't heard from them nor have they read my PM.

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

.....i dunno man. I dunno what to say. I really am sorry. Tell your family and neighbors that i never meant to hurt anyone.

Maybe use gloves. No, not kevlar cut-proof. Those certainly won't be necessary.

Oh, wait a minute. I have to pay to ship this? I thought i checked the box on the form to have Kolvir handle the shipping and handling.

[Kolvir]

Sureee I'll cover shipping. The check is in the mail.

[edge213]

On its way to the post office.

[enuf]

My truck is in the shop so shipping will be when I get wheels again. It is all packaged up and ready to go

I got your box of goodies on the road today. This is the only trucking company I could get to take the box. Keep an eye out for it.

Now that's funny stuff there!

[cody6268]

Got the group in from Corn Creek Cutlery today.

Can't say many are a POS.

Hard Hat USA (Bear and Son for a promo products company in KY) 5' lockback (same as Bear and Son #97R). Doesn't look to have been used much, and a Buck 110 nylon sheath that fits it well was included.

I suspect Hard Hat fairly recently closed up shop (and Google Maps lists them as "Permanently Closed"). I had previously emailed them late last year about finding a distributor I could order from, and never got a response. The web address is a dead link now, even though it wasn't a month ago.

Google Maps still shows signage on the building (with Street View date of last year) , so the closure was apparently not that long ago.

Ka-Bar Hawkbill, 1950s-ish going by the stamp and the fact it's got bone handles.

In pretty darn good shape. Going in the display case alongside my other old hawkbills.

Rosecraft Blades Clinch River Jack.

Corn Creek Cutlery is the seller for the brand here also.

This is my first from the brand, after ogling them for over a year. I honestly can't find a single problem with it--great snap, smooth action, extremely sharp, and perfectly centered. Beaver Creek Barlow when the budget allows (next month's is primarily shipping to warranty some stuff).


Definitely carrying this one quite a bit. Should also be easier to sharpen than my old hawkbills.

Victorinox "Pocket Pal", 84mm.

I have this one in Alox, but A: don't use it much due to it being dead mint, and b; it's a little slim. This one is just enough thicker to be comfortable.

Schrade USA ST-2 Tough Chip.

The lock no longer works, and the slotted screwdriver and bottle opener are both broken. However, you can still buy most of these parts, as well as complete handles with tools for like a couple of bucks. Probably going that route.

Schrade USA 3OT "Bearhead".

My favorite small Schrade, another (in worse shape) is often on me around the house. This one will be replacing that example, as my existing one has some play in the blade.

IXL George Wostenholm, probably over a century old.

No snap, one blade broken, other can't be deployed. Pretty much normal for all my oldest.

It appears that all three blades rode on one spring!

Sharp (Colonial) 380 Medium Stockman. Currently, my first US-made Sharp. Pretty sure that these were SS, while the Colonial brethren were 1075.

In pretty good shape.

Schrade USA SC505 "Ducks". New in box, complete with paperwork.

[cody6268]

Part 2;

Utica Kutmaster Girl Scout knives.

This pattern used a green celluloid that was notorious for outgassing.

This one already is showing signs.

Not so much, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Both will likely get rescaled soon.

Colonial Swiss Master.

Minty fresh. Never used, never carried. Much nicer than the worn out one I was given almost 20 years ago.

Case paste. Going to be put to use soon.

I have some knives that weren't stored well by previous owners, both in moisture and near celluloid knives, and the bolsters have proven impossible to keep shiny.

[Kolvir]

Did the playmat and cars come with it too? ;)

I loved my hotwheels and matchbox cars when I was young....

Wow, if that constitutes a POS then Corn Creek's bathroom probably has a bidet in it! Congrats on a great group of knives . Not much negatively nosiferous in that pile.

[cody6268]

Did the playmat and cars come with it too?

I loved my hotwheels and matchbox cars when I was young....

I also collect a lot of diecast, and the stuff's built up over the years. I've posted quite a bit here:

viewtopic.php?t=68853

Matchbox reproduced (and updated) an older (late '80s) Convoy playset as an exclusive for Target a few years back, and the mat came alongside it. I had meant to use the set as a display but had no good place to put it 9thus, next stop will probably be the neighbor's kids). The mat, on the other hand, covers up the fact that the cabinet has needed a repaint for ages (and has a hole in the top that wires were ran through when a TV was on it). The tractor shed I've had for over 20 years (came with a huge ERTL playset I got from a family friend who ran a feed store), and the fire station is an older Life Like I bought secondhand, just to see how it went together before buying new and building it. Four years later--and it's been in the display ever since.

Edge213, it's on the way. Is your yard ever going to be green this year!

[Thomasg]

.....i dunno man. I dunno what to say. I really am sorry. Tell your family and neighbors that i never meant to hurt anyone.

Maybe use gloves. No, not kevlar cut-proof. Those certainly won't be necessary.

My wife will love an Additional 4 + pounds of what she calls my knife junk !

Nice group of knives, Cody. You're going to love that Rosecraft Wharnie Clinch River Jack. Corn Creek did you good...real good.

Doglegg ... but no bidet here! My neighbor usually takes my real POS knives throughout the year to fix up.
Was happy to send these to Cody ... sounds like I sent some of the right ones!

Agreed Dan ... notice the dinginess of the driver's door and undercarriage of the truck? Too funny ... good one OC!

[GringoBombero]

Wow that's a nice haul!
For a minute there I thought I was in the wrong thread!

[glennbad]

Well, most knife collectors love when they get a tracking # for an incoming shipment. In this case, thestrech71, that would not be the case...sorry.

Pile of poo inbound...
