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

[TPK]

Glad you like it Jerry! Now that the "cat is outta the bag"...I can finish the "Deconstructed / Reconstructed what?" thread, that I started. Just now sitting down to dinner. Will complete the thread, in a bit, with pictures, showing the shield (from a dogtag).

Beautiful handwork Jim! Your creativity is amazing my friend!

Congrats Jerry! That's one COOL knife! I love those shields!
That GTO is also very cool!

Jim & Steve...,
Jerry...,

Good job Jim, Ryan!!!!

[doglegg]

Good going Scott. Brother Dave needs thing to occupy his idle hours and that nut cracker should do it. Happy for you Dave.

Stanwade that is a cluster there. Phil always loves Queens and maybe that quick release will help his shoulder. I bet you're smiling at all that hardware Philip.

[WillyCamaro]

Well done folks. They were all direct hits .

I never thought about the quick release for the shoulder! ..who knows?! anyway--Phil, I'm glad you like everything and my pleasure.

[Stanwade]

Scott knew I like my chickens and must have known, or guessed I like nutcrackers so he gifted me this. Thanks Scott. I really appreciate the gift and your friendship.____Dave

Good targeting Scott!

Thanks for the remarks, guys and thanks for carrying on the bombing run, Scott & Ryan!

[TPK]

Congrats Dave, Philip, Steve & Jerry!

Great job Scott, Steve, Jim, Ryan & someone.

Lotta Bombs dropping around here. LOL!

[TPK]

I knew this Bomb was incoming but none the less, it's still a Bomb in my book.
John (1967redrider) dropped three knives off at my mom's house some time ago simply for the sake of being nice.

Thank you John! I really appreciate it! Your awesome man!

Here are some group pictures of them & I'll post some pictures of the individuell knives in the appropriate threads today or tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

1) 1980 Case A6235 1/2 Jack Knife (A.K.A. Regular Jack, Swell end Jack or Teardrop Jack) This is my first Case with an 80's stamp & my first #35 pattern. I really like this pattern & the scales are breathtaking.

2) Queen etched "Queen Steel #22" with enclosed springs. This is my first ever Quenn knife and my first knife with enclosed springs. Very light weight also.

3) Last but not least, a Purina Kutmaster Utica NY. USA that is already in my front right pocket.
I have a Special place in my heart for Purina knives.

Like a little touch of home from 4500 miles away (give or take).

[doglegg]

Now Tom, that Case should never have left the states! Great group of knives. Happy for you. Great shot Redrider.

[Doc B]

Nice shot, John...too our friend overseas! Congrats, Tom, those are awesome !!!

[Stanwade]

Nice shot John!! Good target!!! Tom-- you'll love that Queen... I've been carrying one similar off and on the last few months...

You nailed it Jerry! It's so nice to hang around with you folks here, you'll never even know!

Thanks everyone for all the kind words & comments!

[Colonel26]

WOW! Some fantastic bombs going off here!

Those covered springs Barlows are nifty looking knives for sure. Great bombs and targets all around!

[carrmillus]

.....I remember at one time long ago, my dad had one of those Purina knives!!!................. ............

[TPK]

Now Tom, that Case should never have left the states! Great group of knives. Happy for you. Great shot Redrider.

Your so right Floyd! That Case should never have left the states! I'm really sorry! And I promise you, if I ever win the lottery, it will be moving back to the states ASAP!
Untill then, I'm just borrowing it for my showcase.

[TPK]

.....I remember at one time long ago, my dad had one of those Purina knives!!!................. ............

About a year & a half ago my mom told me that her dad carried a Purina as his EDC. I had no idea what they looked like so I Googled it and I liked how it looked. The rest is history & you guys are stuck with me now. Sorry! That's why they have a Special spot in my knifer's heart.

IMO, If your dad had one you should get yourself one.

[1967redrider]

Happy you're enjoying them, Tom. They have found a nice home for sure. Since I have another Queen just like it, that makes us knife bros.

[Stanwade]

I have one too!! I guess we're all three knife brothers! Been carrying it off and on lately.

[jerryd6818]

Philip (treefarmer) also has one. Y'all have quite the little club going there.

We like to call it "22 Queens in one Deck / Bros Club"

[glennbad]

Thanks guys.

Well, don't keep us in suspenders. Share your guess with us. That's a nice looking little money clip. I carried one similar to that for years. It advertised Clark Fork Lifts. A friend gave it to me. I haven't carried it in years but I still have it around here someplace.

I did a little sleuthing here on the sight. The package originated in Portsmouth, NH, the address only 8 miles from where I used to live in Dover, NH. Believe it or not, I found a clue from "doglegg" Floyd of Texas, that leads me to believe the bomber was glennbad. Pease Air Force Base (former home to the 509th Bomb Wing, how appropriate) there in Portsmouth was active at the time I graduated from Dover High in 1980, so I'm sure AF items are quite easy to find, if the bomber didn't carry this himself.

Thanks again to the bombardier!

I'm just getting caught up on this thread. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Steve. Although I do live in NH, and am former USAF myself, I am NOT the bomber. I would hate to think someone else's fine generosity got attributed to the wrong giver.

The mystery continues...

[Steve Warden]

Hmmmm....

[jerryd6818]

Way to go Glen, you've discombobulated him and he will be losing sleep, looking haggard and wandering around mumbling to himself. In other words you've turned him into a hot mess.
