2025 POS Exchange

And a marvelous little miniature knife that actually opens and closes

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

Glad you will get some use out of them. Being you sent me my pos package last year I had to hunt for some that weren’t what you sent me lol. I figured you would enjoy some patches, most of us Scouters do.

[bladebuddy]

I don’t know what old Kolvir sent to me, but the package has been stuck at the Des Moines distribution center for five days. I’m guessing the Postal employees won’t go near it. I’ll have to take precautions when it gets here. Steve B

USPS needs more fiber. Really having trouble pinching this one off. They drove around with it all day then brought it back to the post office at 5:44. Said it's available for pickup.... until 6.

USPS needs more fiber.

What a great way to put it!

Part 1-2.

Large Selection of China-made Swiss Army Knockoffs. I may have batteries that will fit the LED one.

KIMG1790.JPG

US General/Stainless Italy knife. Should clean up to be a decent user. Not sure which US General they're talking about here, but I know there was a US General Tools that predated Harbor Freight's use of the name for toolboxes.

KIMG1791.JPG

Valor Japan Stockman. Like Sabre and Sharp--not a bad knife at all. Mint and headed for the Stockman roll.

Robeson Shur-Edge 72264 Small Pen in MOP. Only my third Robeson.

KIMG1830.JPG

Hammer Brand Medium Jack. Currently soaking in Evaporust.

KIMG1801.JPG

Hammer Brand Small Jack. Also getting the Evaporust treatment.

KIMG1802.JPG

Colonial Jack. Again, I decided to see if Evaporust was bad on knives. These three will all be sharpened up and become toolbox work knives.

KIMG1807.JPG

Imperial Pen with the leftover ad of a stockyard/livestock commissioner.

KIMG1803.JPG

Already has a place on my Breyer/Western shelf.

KIMG1822.JPG

Solid Brass Antique Car Knife. Going in the display case. Personally, my favorite out of this bunch. Apparently, pretty old as it still had the remnant of the 99 cent price tag. The current figural novelty knives are close to ten bucks now.

Cody, that was a pretty rank pile I had left over from the past year, but seems you have found use for most of 'em!
Think you will like the next package, which was meant to be an unexpected Bomb, but "informed delivery" took some firepower out of it.

I think you're in the wrong thread dude. This is where we post poo. It seems you've been bombed. There's a different thread where you go show off the nice pieces you get in the mail.

The Precise, C.I. and Parkers are of course particularly appealing. The Silver Monarch I think it is, with the button lock, is awesome. If you don't already have something similar you're going to enjoy fiddling with it.

That Glenngood, might be a great knife mechanic but he had totally failed in his concept of POS! Congrats.

After watching this one swirl the bowl for a while it finally splashed down yesterday around noon.

For the sinkers there's your usual suspects. Notably; the Tyler key chain thing I believe is tsa safe, there's no actual knife just scissors and tools. I found the little Pak Lock Back interesting because somebody obviously loved this little thing alot, they used it hard. I was cutting a rug into smaller pieces that'll fit in my trash can with a linoleum knife and I thought how much more fun Itd be with a big ugly fixed blade. Now I can do that (with the Winchester, not the Lok Pak). The multitool with metal scales is actually alot better made than the red sak knock offs. It'll end up in a glove box. The Prov. Shell handles are interesting as well, slightly different than the standard fare. Both have wharncliff seconds instead of pens and the clip blade on the smaller has the nail nick cut near the tip. A small feature, but cool. The RR congress is cool, heading for a key ring. Schrade Cope will get cleaned up and the Johnston will get new pants after I practice on the Chinese lockback. The little Western has a broken spring. Interestingly enough I sent someone a similar Western last year in the exchange with a broken spring. This Camillus 16 is now about a 6.5, but it's going in a place of honor in my small retired legends display. Then this Boker
This one floated right to the top. What an absolute banger. Was just thinking the other day how I need a nice stockman in my rotation. Wood scales too nonetheless. Thanks again Phil, got it in my pocket as we speak.

My sons opened the package with me and each laid claim to a keychain knife. The poo box is becoming a tradition for them.

Well Mr. T.W.K.Guy, that is an interesting bag. A few floaters but some pocket worthy.

[Kolvir]

I got my package a while back from ThatWeirdKnifeGuy, I'll try to post this weekend. Sorry for the delay.

[bladebuddy]

Well the poo package from Kolvir arrived today. I checked my records of past POS exchanges and found that I had sent to him during the 2020 exchange.
I must have struck a nerve back then. He retaliated in full force
The first picture shows the non-knife poo. The lady in the picture looks like my Aunt Daisy The small clear tube has Civil War mini-ball ammo I think.
I took inventory of the knives as follows
Utica
Iroquois
Unmarked
Shapleigh
Robeson
Robeson
Kent
HSB
Second row are all Imperial
York razor
Cattaraugus
A nice new office knife from Bear and Son. A pattern I didn’t have, thank you very much Andrew.

[Kolvir]

I tend to get a bit silly with this.

I bought a box full of old photos at a auction a while back. That was a newer one, no idea who it is.

The Bear and Son was one I won here in the monthly giveaway. Glad you like it.

[knifegnome]

Got my POS box from Stretch , had a lot of good users in there.Schrade, Boker ,Kutmaster and a lot more, thanks for the pile.

In fact, I'd say it's my nicest Schrade yet!

I'll get some photos up later. Neighbor of mine's son was helping service the lawnmower (I only asked him to help me get the oil filter off, since it was in a tight spot), and while removing the fuel filter, he accidentally snapped the inlet on the fuel filter off. Thus, I had to go on a wild goose chase with multiple dealers, feed and farm, as well as auto parts stores over the weekend, and I'd accidentally left my phone at O'Reilly. As it turned out, Deere wasn't the greatest with making parts available, and I was able to find the part under the Kawasaki engine model number, not the Deere number. Coincidentally, it was in the small engine section at that same O'Reilly when I went back to get my phone. Finally, a buddy of mine helped me get it on, and while we were at it, we re-did the fuel lines as well. Strangely enough, it seems to run smoother with the new pump and fuel lines.

A pile if knives and a junk drawer dump! Cool!

Stretch did you good. The quality of POS exchanges has certainly improved.

[bestgear]

Has everyone who received and sent a package posted here? I know of 1 challenge where a member was hospitalized and delayed but other than that exception everything should have landed. What say you?????

[Kolvir]

I still need to. Will by tomorrow night.

[ken98k]

I received my box of poo from KLJ77 yesterday morning. Poo is really a misnomer in this case, it's more like a Christmas Extravaganza!
KLJ77's generosity is amazing! 2 knives in particular will remain in my collection until they carry me away.

[ken98k]

And more!

[doglegg]

And more!

But where are the pics of the POS?

Right? That's even more glorious than the "stuff" I sent
