At least I don't feel so bad with what I sent to Scott...

But Glenn,
You have to admit the duplex muskrat knife was pretty cool. Whether used as a two blade or a four blade.

Has your second package from me arrived yet?

I can't quite figure out what the crud is on the larger fixed blade - I'm scared to investigate too deeply.

The prize in the lot is the utility knife. It is marked Republic of Ireland, and it's a real fun puzzle knife - first of its kind I've seen. When all blades are open they can only be closed in a certain sequence. Any other attempt fails and the closing blade falls on top of another blade. Ingenious! And the best thing of all is, to keep it interesting the sequence for successfully closing them is different every time. No doubt an extremely rare knife! I will try to find the patent for this - NOT.

Thanks Scott!

BTW....I was having dinner when I was going through the mail and opened the box between bites of chicken cutlets. Maybe not a good idea since you never know what might jump out of the box with this AAPK POS thing.
But....not to worry.....no surprises. Just a treasure trove of beautifully "PATINA" laced knives.
Here's what's pictured.
Boker boy scout knife, Camillus serpentine, Craftsman peanut, USA ad knife, Kent Jack, Unbranded pen knife with bone handles, ring turn knife made in Germany, gentlemans knife with chain, Robeson three blade knife with pearl handles, Union knife co tuxedo jack, Lenox 4 blade knife with pearl handles, Queen sleeveboard with pearl handles.

Thank you Mike for the generous contribution to the addiction.

If I'm not mistaken, even the Schrade 8OT is one of the new Pacific Rim products but it looks really good. Nice white bone on it. The little Pakastani (I think) Mini-Camillus 72 is a neat little knife and very pretty. Thanks Mike (I think ).

I carefully opened bdev's package and found what appeared to be 3 large turds wrapped and neatly placed in the box with a nice little note. 20180504_202139.jpg
As I carefully unwrapped the turds they quickly turned into 1large 2 medium and 2 small turds. 3 with a Pacific Rim flavor. 20180504_202215.jpg
Bruno says the little skeleton knife came from Bonfire Bob before he passed so that will be a keeper as well as the Ulster utility which I suspect will see plenty of use. The other three will probably be stored ammo for future POS Roundtables. Thanks Bruno!20180504_200701.jpg
