All About Pocket Knives

J Martini / Pal Cutlery / Kent / Kutmaster / Schrade Tool sheath / Empty Buck 503 Box
Imperials / Hammer Brand / Colonial / China / Pakistan
Assorted Wrenches & Tools / Mirrors / Computer Cable

The filet knife is sharp and ready to take fishing. The Pal, Kent, Kutmaster, and Sheath are still good for use, as well as the Chinas and Pakistans.

Kolvir, thank you! You sent some I did not have ... the Martini, Pal, Kent, & Kutmaster. After cleaning/oiling , they will definitely be used. The wrenches and other tools I believe will find a place for use somewhere around here. An executive decision awaits the fate of the rest.

And many thanks for keeping track of all this fun madness we all have enjoyed!

The form made things much easier, and I appreciate most everyone's willingness to try it, but the private message system requires the username you are sending to be exact, including capitalization. Not everyone entered their username like it is on the board so I had to search and verify each one. So much for not needing everyone to pm me that they are in.

Now if people were willing to give their email address on the form, that would make things much, much easier. I had to copy and paste each address into the pm system as there isn't an API that I have access to. With emails I could write a program that would take the info from the form, randomly pick the POS recipient, make sure they haven't sent to them before if possible, and email it automatically.

I would also make all of the code with instructions on use available so anyone else can run it too in case I get sick of herding cats, or say, the Rapture happens and there are a few people "left behind" that still want a pos exchange.

If there are any tech people here I'm going to post the code I do have here in my GitHub repository soon. It'll be a mess as I hacked it together and didn't use it like I wanted because of the issues above. No personal information listed there, rest assured.

Unfortunately, I forgot to warn the house sitter and she, bless her heart, put that fetid box of poo right on the dining room table. You can imagine my dismay when I walked through the door and spotted it.

Actually, he didn't do me too badly. There are some real turds, as one might expect, but there are also a few pretty respectable knives in that shipment. The one I liked the best was a nice little Schrade Copenhagen single blade jack. Below are photos of the whole kit and kaboodle.

Thank you D. for all the goodies (and not so goodies too).

Those graded level 4 and 5 were pretty stinky. Those graded level 3-1 actually had some possibilities. Maybe some future modifications?

The knives in the non-toxic bag where really awesome. A nice little Case Stockman and a Mooremaker, which I had been looking at on the
Mooremaker website! Those two will definitely get some pocket time! I am especially excited to try out that little Mooremaker!

Thank you Reverend!

And that sword is an actual Case blade if you can believe it.

Also... I was wondering where I misplaced that purple thing
