That sneaky little bugger from Alabama (ROYAL) done flanked me and dropped a big'un into my position.
At first I thought he was just trying to dispose of his excess grocery sacks.
But then I started digging around in all those plastic bags and discovered..... A knife and a knife maintenance kit.
The knife is a Bear MGC lockback that operates as smooth as butter.
A new brass brush which I need to replace the one that's wore out.
A couple of shop towels? Place mats? Cloth napkins? I'm going to use them as background for knife pictures and what ever else that suits my fancy.
A razor strop. Which side do you use first? The leather or the cloth?
A big ol' 9"x6" chunk of "very fine" Scotch-Brite® pad.
And lastly, something that every knife guy should have; a jug of 3-IN-ONE OIL
I almost forgot. The Bear had a bright new penny stuck under the clip.
What a pleasant surprise this has been. Thank you for your thoughtful generosity Royal. I love it Bud.
Forged on the anvil of discipline.
