I'm glad that the bombs reached their intended targets and incited the hoped-for response: that special joy that is only experienced by getting a new knife! I know all y'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout ::ds:: (I think I may be (slightly) addicted to that feeling myself) ::super_happy::

Full Disclosure: Both recipients were aware in advance that a knife was coming to them, although for different reasons. Tom knew because I had to ask him for his address (and instructions for shipping a knife to Germany), but he didn't know what kind of knife or exactly when it would arrive.

Jade's jade Paul was the culmination of a deal we made 5 or 6 years ago (I think she was in 6th grade at the time). I promised to give her the knife when she graduated from high school...if she had at least a B avg (and no kids!) So, unlike Tom, Jade knew the exact knife she was getting and had a general idea of when it would arrive, sometime around graduation (although the disruption of life as we know it by covid-19 made everything a bit murky in that respect).

Crazy how both bombs landed practically simultaneously. That was sheer coincidence...unintentional carpet bombing...accidental strafing. But, both targets were fully vetted and it was determined they were deserving of some ordnance lobbed in their respective directions. Mission accomplished!

LOL Q! :lol: You really got me Man! :lol:

Unfortunatly, I no longer have the original PM from Q but it said something to the effect of..., :

"Hi Tom, could I have your address? I've got an "Old Gentleman's Folder" here that I have doubled. I can see your enthusiasum for knives so I believe that you would appreciate it."

Man I fell for it Hook, Line & Sinker! :lol: So in my minds eye, ::hmm:: I pictured a 1950's - 1960's, all SS, Lobster knife with two blades & a file. Which, would be Totally Awesome in itself, but I never, in my wildest dreams, pictured a 6207W! What a surprise when I unpacked a Case with a Wharncliffe! It was like ::woot:: & :shock: & ::groove:: & ::pray:: Thank you Father! ::pray:: All at once! ::doh::

Great Surprise Q! I knew it was coming but I still didn't have a clue! LOL! :lol:

Take Care Everyone & Have A Great Sunday! ::handshake:: :D

Well folks, I can't say I wasn't warned to expect "retaliation" for a bomb I dropped on Ivoryman's daughter, Jade, last week. But I was not prepared for the swiftness and precision of their retaliatory bombing run on me. Ivoryman's exquisite taste in knives is widely understood, indisputable and well-documented (in numerous AAPK postings). This 2020 Sambar Stag GEC Northfield #62 he returned-fire on me is no exception. Every time I pick it up to admire it I have to also pick up my jawbone shortly thereafter because the stag covers on this one are jaw-dropping gorgeous. And then, of course, anyone who knows ~Q~ knows about his (Monkey's) Wharncliffe obsession--so this Easy Pocket Congress with the Wharncliffe master blade is right on the money. Apparently when Ivoryman decides to drop a bomb, he holds nothing back. Thank you, my friend...it is both an honor and a pleasure to be bombed by you!

Mm-Mm-Mm...just look at that beautimous gnarly stag!

As much as I love the incredible knife-bomb, I gotta admit, though, the hand-made, bespoke "thank you" card from Jade really touched a soft spot inside me. I won't show the personal message inside, but I will give you a peek at her fine cover artwork; just like the knife, every detail is spot on perfect. Not only is she an excellent artist; but, she cleverly incorporated a personal detail about me ("Q") in her drawing. How very "Da Vinci Code" of you, Jade (if you're reading this)! ::sneaky:: See if you can find it. ::hmm::

I bought 4 knives from Scott (Triple F) and when the package came I took them out one at a time, two fixed blade Finish knives and two Buck 110's and there was a fifth knife at the bottom of the box which was a bomb Scott slipped in as a bonus. I made a sheath for it today.____Dave
