doglegg, that'll teach you for using Morgan dollars as legal tender. Thanks for the comments everyone.doglegg wrote:A real tribute to Jim's work that it attracts so many compliments and all well deserved. Thanks.
Wow Rotten, that Eustace believes in carpet bombing. You have knives now that hardly any of the rest of us have. Congrats. And good for you Eustace, your generosity is showing.Rotten wrote:Bombs away from Bulgaria!

From the top down - a 1913 Bulgarian silver 1Lev coin for my sharpening table, a P Denev 'tourist' knife, an unmarked knife that I don't know what to call (seen similar but can't remember what they are), and a Herder locking sod buster.

The Denev has the wickedest punch blade it is a needle pointed solid chunk of steel and has beautiful gray celluloid or acrylic handles. The middle is a friction folder with some type of horn handle, the dots are not painted they're metal,very cool. I've heard that the Herder's had chunky handles but I didn't know they were that thick, it is a solid handful.

Prehaps the first tang stamp picture of a P Denev knife on AAPK. I love them all but it's really cool to have a Bulgarian knife in my collection now.
Thank you Eustace.
OC all the family was over for lunch the other day and nothing but compliments and interest in the little mallard. The only two things I am allowed in our china cabinet is a knife my sweet wife bought for me and that little duck. Thanks again.OLDE CUTLER wrote:doglegg, that'll teach you for using Morgan dollars as legal tender.

Trace, this knife is also Bulgarian. The model has been produced by several generations of craftsmen in a small village Kostenets. Make them three sizes with dark handles made of buffalo or light rams horn. The last master who made them died last year.Rotten wrote:... an unmarked knife that I don't know what to call (seen similar but can't remember what they are)...
Thank you for the information, I wasn't sure how to classify that one it is more impressive in person than my cruddy pictures make it look.Eustace wrote:Trace, this knife is also Bulgarian.

Love the Cyrillic stamp from Eustace. Very cool, never seen that one before. Cool knives all around from an even cooler Eastern Block Bomb.Rotten wrote:Bombs away from Bulgaria!

That didn't ring any bells and the name with the return address wasn't familiar. Puzzled, I opened the package and found an small Queen 3 blade Stockman, well used, but a keeper and an inspirational card enclosed! My limited research shows 3 different pattern numbers for a 3 1/4" Queen Stockman, 16, 26 and 57. 
Back in the house, I opened up the AAPK forum and noticed a PM from dogleg, confessing his guilt in the bombing! He's a sneaky rascal, neither his name or address.

Great bombs and some really generous bombers on this page.
Sweet, sweet, sweet! Mumbleypeg the gitter and Jerry the giver, and every one happy! Great gift and receiver and giver.Mumbleypeg wrote:The central Texas bomber, aka Ralph Alsip, aka Jerry, dropped this nice rough black Tested 06267 on me. Said he knew I had several, but thought I needed one to carry. Who am I to argue with such wisdom?
A little Quick Release oil and it’s in my pocket right now. Gonna give it a little time on the whetstone - it’ll make a perfect Sunday carry!
Thanks Jerry!
