All About Pocket Knives

I agree with above posts!! Kudos to both the giver and getter!!! John

I purchased some great knives from Roland (aka Kootenay Joe) and when I opened the box today he bombed me with this vintage 3" MOP beauty! Tang stamp is WILH WAGNER over MERSCHEID over SOLINGEN and the master has the Wagner nested Ws logo on the back. Fantastic condition with great snap and half stops.

Thanks for the early Christmas gift Roland!

I got home last evening from a long and tortuous 2 week trip and found this in my mail basket. An anonymous Secret Santa knows what I like. What a beautiful custom Camillus 72 in stag. Thank you Santa.

I have a suspicion who that Santa was. Regardless, that's a bang-up unique #72 anyone would be proud to have.

Great bomb, great target, great bomber! Congrats!

That's a dandy Greg!!! Very, very knice!!!
Knice work Santa on a great target!!

Well, I went out to check the mailbox today & received a new year day BOMB from XXCASEXX. I only gave Mike some advice on the Lansky sharpening system & he sent me a gorgeous medium Case stockman with real stag sides. I have alot of Case's, but would never pony up for REAL stag ... now I see what I was missing - it is such a nice knife & will get alot of carry.

Thanks Mike for the random act of kindness on New Years day ...

First bomb of 2018 and a doozie at that!

Great bomb, great bomber and great target!

I got all evolved with the season and neglected to post this bomb Mike (313 Mike) sent to me. I'm studying to be a Senior Mutant Ninja Marine Corps Turtle. Don't mess with me. The more I read, the more of a serious bad a-- I become.
He wouldn't let me open it until Christmas in case I decided to whoop Santa's a--.

Very knice!! Great work and target Mike!

This sweet little Barlow was dropped on me by a fellow blade fan who is so altruistic they don't want to be named. Ok, least I can do is honor that. But I'm shaken to the core, jolted out of normal mundane reality by the thought and decency of those like that, and those on this thread and wish to express the gratitude and acknowledgement to every bomber, especially those who dropped something on me, who wish to remain unnamed, who were thinking of others before themselves. Cool little knife, great curves, great bones the pictures don't even begin to capture. It's like agate, very pretty, looks like beautiful stone. And of course the scrimshaw. A first for my pile. And I like how it's subtle and understated scrimshaw. Like a hidden picture or subliminal image. Initialed G.O. Must have been George Orwell, maybe 1984-ish. Very cool. And of course I love all antler and ivory bearing animals more than other animals so this was very thoughtful, very cool and unexpected. Thanks to the bomber, and all bombers, and I hope you all get bombed back to the @#$%^&! stone age with this kind of bomb.

That's awesome I-man!!

I am also shaken to the core, and not by this cold weather, rather by the generous thoughtful amazing folks on this site.

A package arrived today and I went ....who's that? Doesn't feel like a knife or knives....then this.

A Scout book and a framed picture magnet of the previous Christmas Eve mission group.

What an awesome gift Dan (old folder)......I am so, so, so humbled and honored. Thank you ever, ever sooooooo much!

PS - Dan, PM'd me about cleaning some knives for him, and asked what my address was so he knew where to send them. Tricky tricky Dan, very tricky - I like it!!
Thanks again buddy~!

Ivoryman, your bomb is exceptionally tasteful. Beautifully done.

Once again.. 2 Great and deserving targets.. And a BIG Kudos to the bombers!! John

Triple F, that guy is tricky, tasteful, thoughtful, and too cool man. Congrats big time. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Like your youtube videos too, keep them coming, stumbled onto them and was pleasantly surprised and smiled to see your take on stuff. And great day to you Old Folder, very thoughtful and decent of you and great taste and kindness. As are all these bombers.

Thank you Scott, John & Ivoryman;
I agree, it was a rather "Tricky" way to obtain Scott's mailing address. It was either that, or:
"Hi Scott, where do you live?" ....That's kind of creepy.

Thanks I-man!!

An unexpected parcel from Rockford arrived in my mailbox today. The contents were gentleman's items (see below) including a beautiful Keystone Series Schatt & Morgan 052 236 Series VIII 1998 Pearl Gunstock from 1998 and a powerful little flashlight - battery included. The knife has very nice pearl with good depth and fire. My lighting and resulting photos do not do justice to the pearl. Fit and finish is outstanding and walk and talk is very good with authoritative snap and half-stops on both blades. It's a super nice knife.

Thank you jerryd!

An extra special bomber and target! That's fine looking knife and I think you will find that flashlight to be invaluable!

Very, very knice

Very cool

No worries mate.

Whaddam I gonna do with
You, You, You?

I say, "You don't owe me shirt." He says, "Huh? I didn't hear ya."

The result is this very interesting Beretta in today's mail. It's certainly different but ya know what? I like it and ya ain't gettin' it back. So there.
This is a frame lock Beretta BE580 Sport Knife by Maserin. It has a certain "je ne sais quoi" which just fascinates the heck out of me. Thanks ~Q~. You didn't have to do this ya knucklehead but I certainly appreciate it.

I'm glad you like it, jerryd. I got one for myself and was also quite intrigued with it; I had a feeling you might be as well. The construction is top shelf and, at only $23.00, an unbelievable bargain; a price generally associated with a Pacific Rim knife more so than one of European extraction. I was so happy to find a decent knife that I could afford to give away as gifts I grabbed a bunch.

~Q~

Knice work QT!~!!!!!!

Fascinating critter. Can't keep my coon fingers off of it.
