2025 POS Exchange

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

As assortment of plastic knives, box cutter, a rubber ball, and sea shells

Im laughing at the random junk because now I feel slightly better about the box I sent out

[bestgear]

Is there anyone participating in the POS Exchange that hasn’t heard from the sender of their package? All PM’s have been opened but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ve taken action. Please PM me if you haven’t received your package and haven’t heard from the sender.

Thanks!

Jody744 sure unloaded a pile on Starvation Plantation, had there been a bit more, I could have dumped them in the fertilizer spreader and enhanced the deer plot down in the woods.
Here's a picture of the pile:1000001393.jpg
There are some interesting pieces in the pile, beginning at the bottom and going up, I'll attempt to describe them.
The bottom knife appears to be a Case 61048, however the tang stamp is gone or maybe blended in with the deep pits. The mark side handle is a pretty nice green bone, the pile side is an attempt to replace and it is in 2 pieces. All the pins on the mark side match my other 61048's as well where the shield was pinned. All that to say there is something about this one I've not seen before, a liner lock.1000001395.jpg1000001396.jpg
None of my reference materials, so far show a 61048 with a liner lock. The patent date on the brass is 1906.

Next in line is a fairly decent 6392, all good except the clip looks like my old daddy had sharpened it to that needle point! Great for digging splinters and briars out of your hand.

The next knife is also a head scratcher, a Camillus with a '41-'46 stamp on the spear blade. The knife would be #70 but 70's had a clip for the main. The spear might have come from a #96 or a #99. The bone handles are perfect, the frame is steel due to WW II, maybe. The spear is lazy, hardly moves the spring, the other blades are like the proverbial gator!

Next is a gold toned gentleman's knife, stamped USA

A China made NRA lockback will join several other NRA knives in my pile.

Strange thing about this Irish Imperial Barlow, I though I sent one off in my POS package.

The shell handled Texas toothpick, a Hammer Brand, has great walk and talk as does the shell handled Imperial cattle knife. Oh, it has punch, too!

The last knife is a decent little advertising knife made by Colonial.

Any thoughts or comments about the 048 or the Camillus would be appreciated.

Thanks Jody for making the air fresher in Hiram,GA and thanks for participating in the POS and we'll put the 6392 to use now and then.

Some interesting.....and some !

I came home from a week-long work trip to find an almost 9lb package of poo on my porch.
The stench was nauseating, so I let it air out overnight.
Here is what I found as I sorted through it this morning:

I hit my limit of pictures, but there is also an assortment of bags and a tee-shirt as well.

What a pile of poo, smalleyds!

Now, I need a shower...

Interesting. You gonna customize some of the plastic ones?

[doglegg]

Well, the package from Arkansas made it to my doorstep today, and I have to say that the quality of fertilizer in Arkansas is really good. Very light on the foreign made stuff (one item from Paki Stan, two Victorinox wanna-be from China, a shell-handled Sabre from Ireland, plus a few more respectable German knives).

Tom included a very nice New York Knife Hammer Brand knife, three Cattaraugus knives (the tortoise shell celluloid is outgassing, so it will need new handles), a Remington, a Shapleigh Hardware, a Keen Kutter Stockman, a nice Robeson jack knife, plus some from Kutmaster, Ulster, Imperial, Fairmount and Colonial. Some of these will be great EDCs once cleaned and oiled. Oh, and a couple of nice pearl knives--Tom, you know my weakness!

There's also a Case 2/3 stockman of indeterminate age--primarily because the main blade is missing entirely and the only mark is the mostly-worn-off shield. Nice old bone handles, though.

Oh, and the Western States razor blade without a handle. I'll have to give that some thought and see what I can do with it, once my hand has healed.

Tom, thank you!

A starter kit for next year and some worth coon fingerings for a while.

I received my "pile" from the good Reverend.

[OLDE CUTLER]

The were some fine looking piles out there this time. I think mine from bladebuddy was the best!

[Smalleyds]

Received my box on Friday from herbva. 32 knives, one watch and a folding comb. The comb will come in handy. I’m bald. Anyhow, all in all, it was a fun box. Some good, some better and lots of poo. Thanks for the quantity Herb. Had fun.

Well David, that doesn't look too crappy!

[ToyLvr]

Rec’d my load of crap from my new friend, Cody6268.

Ironically, I found most of them very useful! One of them is a Kershaw “Leek”, which I’ve been thinking about buying for a long time. Now I have one to try out!

Referencing the attached photos:
Ozark Trail “Storm Trooper” (excellent shape);
NSI flipper = advertising knife, but excellent also;
Red Sodbuster style, made in Italy. Sharp
Kershaw Leek;
Boker electrician knife w/sawcut delrin, good;
Schrade Old Timer #44OT, 4-blade, like new;
Coast razor blade holder, still operational;
Littleton “original brass” little lockback, look at that shine after a little elbow grease;
Victorinox SD, the quintessential keychain knife;
American Snuff advertising knife, a true stinker;
Bear & Son red aluminum keychain knife;

And finally, a couple of toy earthmovers. Now, I don’t know if Cody threw those in as a joke, but I’ve got a 5-year old grandson who will just love them!

Thanks, Cody. And thanks again to “Treefarmer” for the batch last year - I’m still using some of them!

Looking forward to next year!

[Reverand]

I received my "pile" from the good Reverend.

I read where you liked Physician's knives. I received that Winchester from Jerry D a few years ago in a POS exchange. It had outgassing celluloid, and I rehandled it in acryl

Bingo! The earth movers are perfect for a ToyLvr.

Yes sir Rev, I do like them. That one will go in the display case with the other doc knives.
Thank you much appreciated!

You are correct dog, some nice ones in there.

[Crappieho]

So sad I missed out on the POS exchange! If anybody doesn’t receive their POS’s I will be happy to send some their way! I have been told by some on AAPK that most of my knives probably fit this category I love looking at all the pictures of what everybody received. I will try my best not to miss out next time! Is there any kind of “Secret Santa” exchange in December?

[Jody744]

Well I got home from my colonoscopy (you just can’t make this stuff up!) to a 2+lb package from ol doglegg. Got a quick pic cuz it’s been a crazy day. We got home late so the package had ample time to air out on the porch!!! Got a nice 1/2 congress to use in there for sure!

Thanks so much!!!!

[thestretch71]

Well another year & another POS swap package has landed at my door.
Thanks CWADE for these treasures.

The Scout patches will add to my collection.
A few of these I may give away for others to use.
The Hawkbill & Electrician knife will likely end up as users for me.
The camp knives may be traveling again next year.

Thanks again Coley

By my count there are nearly half of the packages not posted here, were they that bad?

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

Looks like my package is taking a gold star tour. Departed Kentucky in the complete wrong direction to spend two days in upstate New York. Then it left there and drove a few hundred miles past my exit on into Iowa where it spent the night before heading on back my direction. Barring any more sightseeing forays, it should arrive by 2pm tomorrow.

But who's checking

[philco]

It's a long way from North Pole, Ak. to Stingy Creek here in Kentucky. Ken's care package arrived yesterday. He was more than generous in spreading the poo. Below are a couple of pics of the shipment. Among the pile is a faux Loveless fixed blade. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about that knife that I really feel drawn to. Ken also included a new in the box Rough Ryder sodbuster clone that is headed for my pocket.
Well done Ken. Thanks for the goodies.
