Uncle Sam delivers!!

Post by upnorth »

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor huge piles of snow stopped the mail this week!
Pamela the Pretty Postie placed these precious packaged penknives in my P.O.box :lol: !
A B&G by Camillus, a virtually unused Schrade Cut, with what I think is older style jigging. Then two excellent Shapleighs (likely by Schrade), the big one a rare model.
I was going to save all my money for the Oregon show ::dang:: ; I don't know what came over me :shock: ??

You are off by a year or two smoke! Fran knows how old I am. He keeps sending me documents to sign; something about "last will and testosterone"??
The print's too fine, so I just toss 'em out! :lol: :lol:

Fran, what say I have a little rendezvoux with Pammy when she opens the P.O. box, and when she has her back turned, you and Smoke go in for the loot! ( I hear with the volume Charlie gets, the box is as big as a vault!) :shock:

Seriously, excellent snags as usual Charlie!!
