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

[knifeaddict1965]

Great Bombs everyone! Always knice to see the kindness of so many here on the forum...

Here is an unexpected and greatly appreciated Bomb I recently received from ol' Q, who just can't seem to help himself sometimes. He had listed a few knives for sale and, of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add a few more to the hoard. But to my surprise, when I got the package, I noticed there was one more knife than I had purchased. The additional "Bomb" was this Wicked looking Zippo rough black synthetic Mini-T with the Lansky mod. spike blade to go with the other Lansky Zippo 6107 Carver & Muskrat Ratcliffe mods I had purchased. Man, I'm gonna have to be careful with this one. That spike blade has one of the sharpest tips I've ever seen.

A big Mahalo to Q, for his continuous generosity and just being an overall great dude.

Q always sends great bombs. And that is a cool knife. Congrats.

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

NICE Bomb Kevin! That point looks like it would pierce better than a needlepoint.

[Madmarco]

The Big Chief is a classic. And the clip blade looks perfect.
Congrats, Marco.
Well done Kerry.

Thank you, ~Q~man, that's one clip-point I'll have no trouble getting use to.
Our pal Kerry is one first-rate gentleman!
I've noticed your name is mentioned a lot in this thread, you must also be one fine gentleman! Never mind "must also be", you are, period!

[Madmarco]

That's a looker

Thanks a bunch, Bob, I appreciate you noticing.

[Madmarco]

Congratulations Mark!! That is a fine knife. Mine has Queen #45 / 440 Stainless on the blade and PAT. NO. 2728139 on the tang. From your research, did you find that these different markings were for different mfg dates? And a fine expression of generosity Kerry!

Thanks much, Tony, I'm sorry but I don't have the information you requested, I didn't dig that deep.

[Madmarco]

That's a teriffic bomb you got, Kevin, that pointy blade looks absolutely wicked!
Very cool knife for sure!
Good ole' ~Q~ sure knows how to drop a BOMB, direct hit!

[QTCut5]

Took a major retaliatory strike from Kevin (knifeaddict1965) today that left me speechless and dumbstruck with awe. That's right, all my communications systems were rendered inoperable due to incoming awesomeness. Could barely gasp and sputter as my overwhelmed brain tried to wrap itself around the unbelievable generosity that rained down upon me in the form of this stunning Queen ACSB #40 Gunstock Jack flown in all the way from the Crossroads of America to the Paradise of the Pacific. That's some serious long distance Hoosier-style reverse aloha unlike any that has ever been seen, experienced or documented previously in modern history.

Kevin, what can I say (remember, I'm speechless!) other than a very big, huge, massive, eternally-expanding in all directions and dimensions simultaneously MAHALO!!! This is me >>>

(More pics will be posted in the appropriate threads for your continued drooling pleasure!)

[doglegg]

Awesome!!!!!

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

I can hear the dancing and shouting waves rolling across the water here in NE TN.
That is a superbly gorgeous Queen Gunstock!! Congratulations 'Q' !! Great bomb Kevin!

Beeeeaaauuuuuuuuuuuuttaaaaaaay. What a bomb, what a bomb. What a sweet knife. Fabulous. Way to go knifeaddict, that's a very well placed shot. Good score Q. Must have been a good boy this year, Christmas came pretty early.

[Madmarco]

I've never met you in person, ~Q~, but I can almost picture your face upon seeing your new knife!
I'd say Kevin is taking your ~Q~ (pun intended) in the practise of bombing, he's bombing folks with some very nice knives, lucky you!

Doglegg Floyd got me good!!

First, a little background on this traveling knife. Back 3 or 4 years ago, Floyd posted a somewhat rough multi tool knife that he had picked up. I also had a somewhat rough multi tool knife that had lain in a box for 30 some years. I had picked it up from the son of the original owner. It had a broken blade, and 1 jaw of the pliers was busted. It had been hanging around in a barn for who knows how many years prior to me aquiring it.

Anyway, from what I could see from Floyd's post, the 2 knives could probably make 1 decent knife in the right hands. I contacted Floyd, and sent my knife his way with no strings attached, other than emphatically noting that I wanted nothing in return. He, in turn, sent both knives off to Glennbadd for him to work his magic. He did great work of course, and returned the finished product to Texas.

So, here it is a couple of years later. I was pulling a couple of my grandkids in the wagon the other day, and I see the mail carrier put a small box in my mailbox. I began wondering what my wife had ordered this time, but after retrieving and opening the box, I got a big surprise. The multi tool knife had come full circle, from Illinois to Texas, to New Hampshire, back to Texas, then back to Illinois. Thank you Floyd, it was a great surprise and your generosity is much appreciated. I will only add that you better keep your eyes on the sky because sooner or later, I will reciprocate!

Big congrats. Thats a sweet piece now that Glen has worked it over. And what a nice gesture and all by Floyd. Love reading stories of cooperatin and kindness from guys on here to a friend across the country or continent who probably never met in person, but were brought together by AAPK. Excellenge gents. Way to go doglegg, great stuff.

[doglegg]

The generosity was on Ike's part to begin with. And the knife has a history there with him. It was a constant companion on my desk for a while and I thought I would repay the favor. Glennbad did a great job on it. Ike, you gave it to me to begin with, along with a little stockman knife so I'm still ahead. Hope you enjoy it as much as much as I have. Thanks again.

I received an incredible "Bomb" gift yesterday afternoon.
Apparently C-WADE7 was so impressed with the box of POS I sent him that he had an overwhelming desire to respond.
Well my return gift is the exact opposite of POS.
It's a C-Wade original. Not a knife, but in this case even better.

The detail is astonishing. It's a hand made & artist signed beautiful piece of art.
Dated '24 but I could not imagine the actual time it would have take to make this little guy.
Probably a year or so at least. It's so good I am afraid to have it out on display.
But I know just where it can go & remain safe, I am going to re-gift it my son the Eagle Scout.
(which I probably think was his intent when he sent this)
I am overwhelmed with gratitude & could not begin to thank you enough.

A heartfelt Thank You is all I can say.

What a quality, personal, phenomenal gift

[C-WADE7]

I glad you like it, it was a fun little project and one I’m going to need to do a few more of for boys in my Troop. It was about a 4 day turn around working in the evenings after work. I just finished up another little project I will post in the woodcarving thread.

I.....

A VERY nice and THOUGHTFUL gesture.
Coley is quite TALENTED!

This Statue Of Liberty anniversary pocket knife arrived in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It now becomes the latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It is a TAIWAN, one blade, two tang stamps, a blade etch, 4 1/4" closed, lockback, pocket knife. The main blade etch says "1886 - 1986" with an image of the torch between the dates. The main blade front tang stamp says "857692" The main blade back tang stamp says "STAINLESS (over) TAIWAN" The main handle side has a Statue Of Liberty scale and also has the 1886 - 1986 dates on it. The scale on the other handle side is missing. Still, it is in EXCELLENT condition. It needed no cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

I may have the other scale - funny it was in some of my fathers things and for some reason i kept it - no knife

It does look like it would fit. I looked at the same knives on eBay and there are MANY.
They are definitely NOT expensive knives. But, it would be nice to have both scales.

i will send it to you message me with address - Clint

A very special THANK YOU goes out to tnorton for sending me the missing scale for this pocket knife.
Now, one Statue Of Liberty is gold tone and the other Statue Of Liberty is silver tone. This does NOT bother me.
So.....THANK YOU, tnorton!!

[tnorton]

I see then not quite the same but i sure like a more complete knife no matter brand or model - looks good enough to keep out on the desk awhile - Clint

[Madmarco]

That looks great, Skip, I also don't object to something a little different and unique.
You have a one-of-a-kind model there!

[New_Windsor_NY]

That.....

Thank you, Madmarco.

[Lady2Unique]

WOW! Those are some nice ones but that one Zippo is OUTRAGEOUS!! My brother-n-law and I were just talking about knives and he was saying how he liked Zippo knives. I need to show him what dull knives you have
