giving one to every 10th order

SCORE!

[TripleF]

There definitely has been some explosions going on in here lately.....and you know what I'm about to say, dontcha?
Yessir, caught me totally off-guard when Tony added this explosive in my Amber Across America salute to our dear friend, Ivoryman!!!
I am so thankful for this handsome, razor sharp (I accidentally got my finger next to the blade when opening it, and she bit me),
elegant, snappy, Sowbelly Rosecraft. I am humbled by your generosity my friend. Thanks everlastingly so much!!!

[Corn Creek Cutlery]

Ordered this Kershaw from Kershaw after Dale posted about it. It came today along with another one, the one with the blue tint. The letter from Kershaw said that they were drawing and giving one to every 10th order. So thank you Kershaw!

Knice Mark ... your harvest is coming in quick!

don’t underestimate the size of Tony’s heart because he’ll get you when you least expect it. Great bomb and great target.

I thought the same thing. You can’t out give the Lord.

TripleF bombed me beyond recognition. I won his case on eBay, bought his end of days lil folder on here and he sent me a RR amber bone gunstock trapper, several colonial little knives to rehandle, post it pads, pens, a paracord keychain, a kershaw spring assist, another old little pocket knife, a cut little cat holding a knife inits teeth hat ping, and somehow he still managed to send my order.
All with a nice hand-written note…

Was a very awesome package from a great man.
I kinda “Jo-Jo the Monkey Boy’d” over fixing up the Case I wanted but didn’t buy, then I went to buy it and it was gone. Was over on EBay so I had to message him to find it and win it, haha. (I posted the tune up in the repair/restore forum) I wanted and had promised Scott photos of the tune up, and so I thought sending him videos that I got the blade rub out of and polished it up, I didn’t get photos of my bomb package.
My apologies for that and I feel terrible.
None the less, thank you from the bottom of my heart to be bombed by the best.
Thank you, Scott.
Beyond appreciated, sir.

Glad your happy my friend. Did you see the piece of leather in the bottom of the box?

[bestgear]

Tony from Corn Creek Cutlery sunk my battleship.

Tony has been my go-to dealer for knives to pair with my TCJR leather slips and my delivery today included a relic to be treasured in my heirloom collection. Camillus collectors please correct me but I think this 3-3/8” Sleeveboard Jack is model #227 complete with NS bolsters and half-stops on both blades. I’m tickled and intend to turn her into my new bench knife so she’ll get plenty of game time.

I’m afraid to place my next order with Tony since he sank my battleship your the best Tony, your generosity has seemingly no end. Thank you!

Very welcome Tom .. I thought you might like that one!

Congrats, Tom! Another great shot from Tony to a very deserving recipient! Always good to see so much generosity here on the forum.

Sorry for the delayed response, yes, I did. Looks like it’s going to make a beautiful strop.

And -
Haha, I’m leading your eBay lot of repair/parts knives…
Looking forward to winning that for some good restore projects.
Thank again, greatly appreciated.

I recently received a mega salvo incoming from our own resident friendly knife bomber Q. He sent me this beauty. I remember when he posted it last year, I was drooling over it. I reached right out to him and asked about if he ever was going to move it along, I would sure be interested. Flash forward to present day, and I am holding this amazing knife. What I didn't realize was this knife used to belong to our own beloved Ivoryman, and had changed hands a bit since his passing.

I was touched at Q's gesture to gift it to me. Knowing that I liked it, and even that it had belonged to Brian, but still passing it along to me, it means even more to me now being its caretaker.

Q, you are a generous and thoughtful soul, thank you again for your wonderful gift!

Phenomenal Bones on that Beautiful Schrade, Glenn! Another Great shot from one extremely generous Bomber to another!

[Sharpnshinyknives]

That is an impressive knife Glenn. It’s connection to Ivoryman makes it even more special.

Wowww, what a Bomb and a knice specialness with it! Great shot 'Q' ... Congratulations Glenn!

[QTCut5]

Kevin (ka1965) actually purchased that Schrade 294 from the Ivoryman estate then gave it to me because I wanted to experience for myself the legendary Schrade steel that Ivoryman was always crowing about. After owning it for a few months, I can officially confirm that the rumors are indeed true; the vintage Schrade steel is super easy to maintain, holds a wicked edge and only requires a few strokes on a leather strop every now and then to keep it razor sharp. I can totally understand why Brian would carry a knife like that.....oh, and those bones are pretty sweet, too I have no doubt that Glenn will be an excellent steward of that knife

TripleF bombed me

any pictures we like pictures especially of bombs!

Monday was knife day, and I was excitedly waiting for this little Parker lockback. Not much knife there, but any day you get a knife is a good day. It turned into a great day when my wife handed me two packages from the mail.

The second was a cluster man-ition of knife joy. An unexpected shot from a small island in the Pacific.

The primary payload is the Paxton & Gallagher with seasoned old bones. Real joy to carry this one. The other with bones is a real old knife from Prussia, just like my family.

The beads and squiggle are Iman originals, I'm truly excited to have these. I've seen other members post some of these, but they're not exactly something you can search for in the store.

The lansky and knife stickers/swag Q actually aimed at my young knife collecting sons. It's simultaneously very thoughtful, and obviously against Geneva conventions to target children.

Deeply appreciated my friend

Great targets Q.
Love to see inclusion of the youngsters. Would that be considered a cluster BOMB.
A big congratulations to TWKG and the boys.
The whole bombing run was a huge success. So wonderful to see.

Awesome Bombs from the Big Island, TWKG! Very generous and thoughtful shot with that beautiful Bone Paxton & Gallagher and the addition of those cool Ivoryman carvings and extras for the kiddos.

I have been a target of a few recent Bombs from the Big Island as well. 'Ol Q and I have bought, sold, traded, and bombed the heck out of each other for the past few years, and of all the great knife friends I have made over the years, I can honestly say that he is a true Knife Brother FADM and one of the most thoughtful and generous fellas I know.

My most recent Bombs include this big 'Ol solid Carbon Fiber Queen Wharnie that is an absolute handful and perfect for those heavy-duty jobs I typically try to avoid and this Awesome little Black Pearl Lone Wolf Paul Executive with the patented axial button lock that is extremely interesting and cool. I had posted a couple Black Pearl knives on a recent Wharncliffe Wednesday, and in his infinite wisdom, our knife brother thought this LWP would complement that sub-collection well, and he was right on target as usual. Thanks again, Q, for these wonderful additions to the hoard.
