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

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

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!

Glad you like that HOK Tom! It has been around a while, and needed a good home!

Now I know how this works.

I will start by saying Ripster/JP bombed me today at the Badger knife show.
The kicker is I brought knives to sell to him out of dad’s stuff.
I will try to keep a long story short instead of longer. He posted a picture with a Badger Club knife from 2008. That show was 17 years ago today 3/28/2008. My dad had his car packed and ready to go and never made it to the show. I did make it today and JP gave me this knife.

JP thank you very very very very much.

That is what my dad’s sister Virg used to say to us. I had mentioned her today.
Thank you again

Wonderful knife and more wonderful story.

A beautiful knife (S&M), bombed to a great guy (LKS), by a thoughtful and generous soul (John/JP),.....only at AAPK do things like this happen!
Congratulations, to all involved!

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!

Great Bombs Everyone! Just finished repairs on my mailbox from Q's most recent Bombing campaign... THEN Ol' Tony (aka Corn Creek Cutlery) destroyed it again with these two beautiful RoseCraft Blades. A big ol' Mosquito Lake Moose dressed in Vintage Moss Brown Bone covers and the Beaver Creek Barlow dressed in Beautiful Stag.

All I can say is "WOW", Tony... You must be a mind reader brother. My next RoseCraft purchases would have definitely been these two. Love the patterns and I'm sure your fully aware of my addiction to Stag and love of the Moss Brown Bone ever since I purchased the Gorgeous Nolichucky Jack from you a while back. The last picture was taken a few moths ago, after I had gotten my first four from you.

Thanks again, Brother. Love the new additions to the hoard.

You are very welcome Kevin! This humble retaliation does not have the firepower of your megaton Moki Bomb,
but I am glad you like them!

Apparently ol' CCC Tony is hell bent on world domination through knife bombardment as he continues his unrelenting campaign of surprise attacks on unsuspecting, innocent AAPK citizens. Tony has shown an uncanny level of expertise in precisely placed retaliatory strikes using his limitless Rosecraft arsenal as demonstrated by this long-range cruise missile that shocked and awed me from the mountains of Tennessee, across the US mainland and over the Pacific Ocean to rock the Big Island out of the clear blue Hawaiian sky

I am head over heels in love with this beautiful Bora Bora Blue Bone Tanasi Lake Tear Drop What a gorgeous piece of eye candy! The size and shape of the double swage spear blade is absolutely perfect. I can't put it down for more than a few hours before I have to pick it up and coon finger it again and again; love the feel and heft. The craftsmanship, symmetry, balance, precision engineering and execution of this knife, like every Rosecraft I've ever seen and/or held, is nothing short of impressive

A super huge MAHALO to you, Tony, for this fantastic bomb!!! It's da kine and you da man

[QTCut5]

Here are the three Rosecraft ICBMs that have been dropped on me in three separate instances of friendly fire from AAPK members Ivoryman (French Broad Wharncliffe), knifeaddict1965 Kevin (Nolichucky Jack) and Corn Creek Cutlery Tony (Tanasi Lake Tear Drop).

Three beautiful blades from three fabulous friends You guys totally rock!!!

Boom, boom, boom!!! Great shots!!! Great knives and great targets.

Many welcomes to you "Q"! The Parker you dropped over here in my collection I am very proud to have. It has found a permeant home.
Looks like I made a good choice for a retaliation strike ... you like the Tanasi! Blessings My Friend!

Well, I have been bombed! Thomasg was my benefactor in this year's POS exchange, in which he sent me many lovely (and a few questionable) items. But his is "the gift that keeps on giving"--he saw my proclivity for accumulating little pearl knives, and decided to send a few more my way! Thank you, Thomas!

Knives are from Lenox Cutlery, Cattaraugus cutlery, Western Cutlery, Hill Bros., (unmarked except for "Garantie"), and the last little bone-handled piece is another New York Knife piece. Thomas, you are a good and generous man!

I figure everyone can probably fit another knife on their key chain, and don't worry, this is an extra Ration. It's not the one I already put in my mouth
