Well, when I got the tracking notice, I was accusing my wife of ordering something from Hawaii. However, when the package came today, it was for me! I’ve been bombed by Q and what a bomb! This S&M is awesome! I love it!! Well, needless to say, Q, you made my day! Thank you, man! That was soooooo very kind of you! And the ivory tooth pendant - a genuine Ivoryman carving, is just too cool! Thanks again, Q!

It sure is nice to see the generosity here within this forum . Don’t see such kindness and fellowship out in the world often.
Tim , that’s funny that you thought the wife did it ! Would’ve thought the same thing . Enjoy your knife and pendant.
Q , your generosity warms an old heart. You are a very kind man ::handshake::

Even though I was not expecting one, a box recently arrived in the mail addressed to me. So I am going "what in the heck is this". Well I'll tell you what the heck this is. It is Camillus long line 4 and 1/4" folder with scenes of "Riders of the Silver Screen" on both sides. I can ID Lash Larue on the mark side, and Zorro, Dale Evans, Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger, Tonto, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Red Rider, and a couple more on the pile side. This was sent to me by our very own Chris (PringleTree) . My instructions are to keep the knife as a user, or to rehandle it as I see fit. It does have a crack thru the pile side rocker pin area in the clear acrylic, and no doubt this is why Camillus marked this as a second. The acrylic is so clear and the colors so bright that I think I will at least for now just use it as an EDC. This looks like the Camillus #23 large cigar pattern, this one being configured as a Moose, one of my favorite patterns.
Thanks Chris.

Q... You Dropped a Bomb On Me!!! ::oh_my::

::oh_my:: I TOO have been bombed by Q and what a bomb, right when I have had a big loss and then following that hundreds of dollars of car repairs in a couple of days! ::hmm:: ... Well, needless to say, Q, you made my day too! Thank you, man! ::handshake:: ... That was very kind of you and thank you for the note that came with the knife, I will be keeping that note in my safe (along with other things I don't want to lose so easily). I WILL be using the trapper (one of my top three favorite patterns) and it will go into my EDC (it will be with me on my next camping trip :wink: ) .... :) in fact, it is already on my hip in a leather sheath replacing my Saber Soligen #214 that I had on me for today's carry....

Thanks ::handshake:: ZTWKG (AKA; Zack: "That Weird Knife Guy")!!! .... ::ds::

You Dropped A Bomb On Me!!! ::groove::

MANY THANKS TO ZTWKG, who brought a little cheer ::groove:: .... ::skeptic:: to an otherwise bleak month so far.... ::uc::

He was kind enough to send me a very cool "field/camp" knife as I describe it. I don't have a knife from the Ukraine so that is an extra added bonus! ::ds::

Thanks again ZTWKG ::handshake:: ::nod::

That's what the note said! ::woot:: ... ::hmm:: Last year I was trying to order that same model from Chicago Knife Works online Knife Store and I keep getting a $15 cost for shipping for items over 1lb. and I decided that was too much for shipping for one knife, so I canceled the order. So, I have wanted that knife for a while now, and seeing how it came from the Ivoryman collection, that makes it all the better! ::groove::

Well, Starvation Plantation has been hit again!
I'm grateful for the several bombings that have come my way over the years but today I received one that really touched my old broken heart.
doglegg sent a package containing a small paper back book, "Though I Walk through the Valley" by Vance Havner and a Case 6383 with beautiful green handles. This book will help me through the valley I now find myself in and the green handled Case is very special because green was Miss Joy's favorite color.
Thank you, Floyd ::handshake::
