Then, due respect to you both. Through most of the 1970's I was an Enlisted Man and NCO in the U.S. Army. While I was able to accomplish much during that time and enjoyed serving my Country, I've been a PFC (Proud F#%$&*@# Civilian) since 1979 and did my time serving the private sector. My knife work is simply an extention of the same work ethic I've always had. Your happiness is my greatest reward.Colonel26 wrote:Woo Hoo! I can't wait to see it!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Up at the Lake camping with the kids for their spring break. Came home for a while today to pick up a few forgotten things, check the mail etc.........................................and.....................................................
BLAMMMMMMOOOOOOOO
In the box was a bomb from the Duke Of Bugmeister aka junebug aka slash a fool aka my BUDDY.
I had no idea what so ever that the knife was on the way, guess that's where the BOMB part comes in huh?
So I open the package and this really nice Imparial EO pops out. The crazy thing is I have had one of these on my check list for a while and badda bing here one is
It's tight, snappy and really purty
Thank you (Josh) SIR DUKE OF BUGMEISTER
Ya blew me away for sure.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Cutty, you're lucky Josh had it instead of me. Had it been mine, I'd have hung on to that sweet thing and no matter how good of a friend you were, you would have been outta luck. Thank God for friends like Josh, eh?

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Hey, I got a question for the bomber and/or the bombee (is that a word?), junebug and Cutty. What are the bail holes filled with, just a pin? I got an EO just like that one from TripleF a week or so back, it has a couple of cracks and chips, rust pitted steel bolsters, but very solid and snappy and was wondering about trying to replace the missing bail. Looks like a pin would work just fine
. Cutty, those old gals really feel good in the hand but just a tad small.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
That rascal 313 Mike dropped this one on me today. Made sometime in the 1950s or 1960s it has not sat in a drawer all these years. It's been used and loved a lot over the years and that's what I intend to do with it. I'm planning to run it past the Lansky and drop it in my pocket. Thanks Mike. She's salty.
