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

[FRJ]

That's some fine looking hardware, right there.
Very nice, Tommy.

[QTCut5]

Wow! That is the Mother-lode Of All Bombs.
So nice to see everybody sharing and spreading the joy around.
The generosity and kindness tends to ripple outward and positively affect many others in addition to the giver and receiver.

Cheers & Aloha,
~Q~

I am thunder struck. What Tommy sent are some of the most difficult editions to find in the Camillus 72 line with that middle one being the hen's teeth variety. It's because of Tommy's generosity that my pile of 72s is as complete as it is. Tommy, I am humbled by your generosity. Greg, you are one lucky duck.

WOWZUH.....lots of shrapnel air born!! Knice work fellas!!

[glennbad]

Wow, that is quite the incoming right there. Good job, Tommy!

[#goldpan]

Wow I got bombed today by Greg!

He sent these two mighty fine Case Sodbusters! One is a ten dot liner lock and the other is 2012 new in the box soddie! The new soddie will go into the accumulation and the other will be an honored member of my EDC rotation! Thanks buddy! Greg wrote a very nice note as well. As you can see it fell victim to my blade as I sliced the box open. Made nice neat strips too. Getting gifts from good friends makes the 105 deg. heat here a little more bearable

[gsmith7158]

Glad you like Randy. I had already sealed the box when I realized I forgot to put the note in so I slid it under the top cover. Looks like that was a bad spot.

[bighomer]

Soddys are great knives,great bomb.

[jmh58]

[gsmith7158]

Carmillus the Mad Bomber is at it again. I got these two from Tommy today. A just because #5 whittler and a Birthday 72.

[#goldpan]

Nice 72's Greg! That Tommy sure knows how to drop a bomb!

[TripleF]

WOWZUH, knice work fellers!!

[Tsar Bomba]

So as I was grinding towards the end of my first week back at work, still trying to figure out how to be reasonably mobile and pain-free ambling around with a hole in my foot, I received a package from an island in the middle of the Pacific, which itself contained a box with contents that originated on an island clear on the other side of the world... A nuclear bomb from a most excellent human being, Q (QTCut5 on AAPK)!

Upon opening this box and seeing what was inside, I found myself immediately humbled and deeply grateful. Inside, I discovered a cornucopia of Schrade/Wolstenholm! First off, an absolutely stunning I*XL Barlow with incredible first-rate stag on both sides nearly knocked me on my back. The original box and paperwork accompanied the knife, and Q had even been so kind as to include an original article about the Schrade/Wolstenholm synergy and new releases from 1981 which will soon find its home in mylar in my knife ephemera binder. As I read the heartfelt note from Q himself, my gratitude grew even further -- thank you, sir, for giving me my first real grin since my whole ordeal began!

And now, by demand of tradition, the knife pics (with apologies for the mostly-cloudy and ever-changing light conditions).

My most profuse thanks once again, Q. I am continually taken aback by the generosity and camaraderie here on AAPK, and I will treasure this gift always, my friend.

[gsmith7158]

Excellent bomb Tony!
Q you da man!

[royal0014]

That Q is a true Gentleman and a mad bomber . . .

Puts a on my face.

[TripleF]

Excellent bomb Tony!
Q you da man!

What he said

[jerryd6818]

~Q~ has a great eye for knives and a generous soul. Much respect my friend.

[QTCut5]

My most profuse thanks once again, Q. I am continually taken aback by the generosity and camaraderie here on AAPK, and I will treasure this gift always, my friend.

Glad you like it, Tony. Before my head explodes with all the praise and kind words, I must point out that when I myself got out of the hospital awhile back, I received some very generous expressions of encouragement and support from several members, most of whom I've never met in person and only "know" through our interactions here on AAPK. I was so touched by the kind words, gifts and gestures from virtual strangers that I vowed to watch for opportunities where I could follow their example and treat others as I had been treated myself. So, thanks goes to everyone in the AAPK community for being decent human beings and treating each other with kindness and respect and making each of us a better person.

Absolutely. It just goes to show how amazing this little corner of the internet really is. Your kind thoughts and this fantastic knife are immensely appreciated. There's no better way to put an ordeal out of one's mind than with some stag.

Well guys went to my mail box yesterday when I came in from work and to my surprise was the all to familiar box we all love to see. The priority box!!! Knowing I hadn't ordered anything as of late I was curious as to its contents..... boy was I taken back....inside was a 1123!! My first ever. It was gifted to me from ole Kieth (Espn77)!!!!! You talk about a great Old knife that holds a edge. Many thanks Kieth... much appreciated.

[gsmith7158]

Wow! Justin that's a knockout!
That Keith is one sly dog

[stockman]
