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

[Ivoryman]

Great page of bombs all. Inspiring.
Well Q just dropped this out of the clear blue. Or gray. But he wanted me to have a vintage Winchester so now I have. A very thoughtful piece, he knows my preferences and nailed them. Some very good bone under the grime, but cleaned up nice, great old carbon steel like I love. Great condition, snap, action. A sweet addition to the EDC pile and much appreciated. Blade brother Q is the bombing man, the past pages are full of the evidence. Tickled to death to receive it and will for sure carry and love on this one. Thanks, thanks, thanks brother Q. Wow what a gift and a surprise. We're not worthy!

Goodness gracious.....I'm like playing hide and seek over here, or drop and rool or somethin' there's artillery
flyin' at me left and right....
Tony contacts me says he wants to know how much a knife is....I tell him, he replies: Money's on the way!!
He didn't tell me about the tracking number like he did last time....
Here's why....He exploded my mailbox with this beautiful Buck Trapper!!!
Absolutely awesome and very, very, very surprised and thankful Tony!!!

Many, many thanks....but you know.....you should probably take cover....

Reposting because it ended at the bottom of a page....and Tony didn't get his due props!!

Congratulations on being bombed again! Nice knife, Scott!
I reckon that's a Slimline Trapper, not too little, not too big, it ought to carry nicely anywhere you go.

I appreciate it Scott, and glad you likes it! Since your first post about taking cover , I have been in shelter.

Sure are a number of nice folks in this Community.
Nicely done bombers !
Received a bomb from Zach ( TWKG ) today . Didn’t expect to hear from him till next week at Janesville show . He decided to send this Case thrower , a Camillus lock back and a 4 line Sword Brand for the Camillus collection. What a guy ,had planned on picking up the thrower at the show but Zach gifted it to me and the others as well . Also this shield is not your standard Camillus shield . It’s a young native girl holding an offering or pipe or? Old eyes will need to scope that . Zach ,did you set this shield ? If so very well done and it hit a spot !
Zach, much appreciated my friend . The thrower is much nicer than my old beat up Gil Hibbens throwers. And the other 2 have a spot here as well .
You all have a great evening out there .

Well look at that, those knives look happier already living out there in Camillus land. The shield on the 2 was there when I purchased it a while back. I looked into it a little and couldn't find anything about it

My initial thought was that it was tobacciana related, maybe for Redman tobacco? But that didn't quite fit. That's usually just a face logo, not a whole person.

I can't honestly even tell if it came from the factory that way or it's aftermarket. It's cool though.

Fun fact: I could have walked the package the 190 miles across the state and delivered it to you, in half the time that USPS took, and then made my way home in less time than it took them to get it to you. Maybe they should go back to horses. I was beginning to wonder if you'd get it before the show

I'm happy you like them buddy

I received this BOMB from philco yesterday. It is marked HIGH CARBON STEEL on the master and has some nice bone handles. Needs to have a new spring made for the bottle and can opener blades, but that will be an easy fix and then right into my collection of camper/scout knives.
Thanks Phil

Winner! Congrats@ something to have and something to do. Great job Phil.

Awesome Bombs and Bombers Gentlemen! Many
I finally found time to post this Bomb from Scott. Apologies Scott, I was slow as USPS mail on putting up this post.
The Blackjack Mamba I ordered ... The bombs are the vintage Japan stiletto type knife with great action and snap,
a measuring tape, a pouched sharpening stone, and some very handy notepads, which I have been using a lot.
All most useful items ... Many thanks Scott!! Love 'em!

[TripleF]

Glad you're happy Tony!!!

Great Bombs everyone! Always enjoy seeing the generosity of so many here on the forum.

Looks like 'ol Q hasn't finished his unprecedented string of bombing campaigns, as I found these two smoldering in the mailbox yesterday. A big 'ol Rigid ACSB Jumbo Stockman and a Parker Smooth Bone Lockback Cigar Whittler. Brother Q fully understands my love of the big stuff as he continues to feed the addiction. Been real busy lately, so hope to get some better pics of these and several other recent pick-ups posted in the appropriate threads when time allows. Thanks again my friend, for these Fabulous "Bombs"!

Welcome to Enablers Anonymous where we keep feeding each others' addictions ad infinitum Clearly Kevin gets it as evidenced by these two fine Case 028s he bombed on me to add to my nascent yet exponentially expanding Teardrop collection.
Really feeling the good vibes from these two
Love the stag and the 125 year commemorative is especially cool because 2014 is the year I officially joined AAPK

This Bomb Thread is the new version of knife trading from the pocket and hand our grandparents used to do. Love it!
Kevin, both you and 'Q' are masters at this. Beautiful pieces ... especially like the Rigid and the Stag Teardrop!
Both of you beware! Counter strikes in response to your prior NE TN campaigns are forthcoming!

Well Q, looks like Kevin shed a few Teardrops for you. Fine looking handles on the two of them. Teardrops, I guess the monkey has gotten sentimental in his old age! Congrats!

I was on a routine military transport to pickup a couple of leather knife slips for my Rosecraft Blades from my friend Tony at Corn Creek Cutlery and was blindsided by a military combat aircraft that utilized air-to-ground weaponry to drop a Kwik Kut bomb directly on Oak Island. It's a handy little 3-blade knife measuring 3.375" closed with an awl/punch! Thank you Tony, she is already playing nice with everyone but the Zambezi who can be a bit territorial at times your generosity is greatly appreciated!
