No but we made zip guns with the tip of a strike any where match, a flattened out piece of shot from a shotgun shell and a bicycle spoke with the screw on nut. Tamp the match head into the bicycle spoke nut, tamp the lead on top. heat with another match. BLAM!!!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
In other breaking news, I’ve been bombed! After coming back from my temporary hiatus, getting the old house sold, and life taken care of, I was planning on paying my fair share and becoming a paying member. I just hadn’t gotten around to pullin the trigger so to speak. Well somebody did it for me.
Thank you whoever you are. This is better than a knife because of what and who it supports.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Brought in the mail yesterday and couldn't figure out why I had a package from Jody744. Opened it with trembling fingers and this is what I found.
A Zippo lighter that looks like it got run over in the middle of the Interstate and a Franken72 that has blue patriot Kirinite handles and is VERY well done. He mentioned OLD CUTLER so maybe he did the work on it? Whoever did the work did a mighty fine job. Don't know where the frame came from because it's 5/32" short for a Camillus frame.
I guess I'll leave the mangled lighter here on my desk to remind me that I quit smoking 23 years ago last month. I seldom get cravings anymore or even think about it.
Thanks Jody. I really like this little beast. For sure, a one of.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I am happy to report I was the recipient of a really special random act of kindness from our AAPK forum brother from Hawaii, Q. Q & I share the love for Case wharncliffe knives and he sent me a beauty ... a Case Copperlock wharnie in Purple Haze color. I tend to target Case knives in non-traditional colors, so this one fits very nicely along with my Purple Haze Gunboat Canoe & 63032 stockman. The Copperlock Wharncliffe pattern is really a standout - lockup is above average, snap is stout and there's absolutely no lateral wobble - this is a fine knife by any standard. I've been fortunate to have been equally bombed twice ... this kind of generosity makes AAPK a special place. Thanks Q

Great score, great knife and a good deep purple. The Q-bombs are great in number, frequency, magnitude, and generosity. Peace, smiles, good will and kindness, way to go the both of ya.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I'm a bit discombobulated. I recently posted that I really like the Camillus 14's and I do, almost as much as the Camillus 72's. In fact it was the #14 that prompted me to start a small accumulation of medium jacks (3-1/8" - 3-3/8" closed). They just give me the warm fuzzies and I have a very difficult time laying off one when I see it available. In fact I've failed to lay off several times.
All that to say this. Dimitri (Miller Bro's) must have read that post because I received one from him in today's mail. I gotta say, it's in really good condition for a 50-60 year old knife. The handles are what Camillus called Brownstag®, introduced in about 1956 and discontinued when they started using Delrin® in the '60s. It's just a sweetheart. Dimitri, I don't have the words to tell you how much I appreciate this little beauty. I can't stop coon fingering it. Thanks a million. You are too good to me.
