Before opening it I could feel the envelop had something in it. It was puzzling because I hadn’t ordered anything from Worksharp recently. Thought to myself “oh no, they’re sending me a replacement for some defective part of my sharpener!”

So I opened it and found this:

No note, no invoice, nothing but the micro-sharpener. Did they send it to me free just because I bought and registered a Worksharp Guided Sharpening System? Nah, not likely. So my only guess is that some anonymous kind soul here at AAPK bestowed it on me. If so, whoever you are thank you thank you thank you!

Looks like a real handy pocket-sized tool. It has a diamond sharpening rod, a ceramic sharpening rod, and three different sizes of Torx screw drivers, which I needed. Once again the generosity of AAPK members astounds me!

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Yesterday Mike Xx Case xX hit me with not one but three knives! A Bear and Sons Carbon 4th Generation stockman, a Case 6347HP stockman dressed in delrin, and Kissing Cranes' version of a Sod Buster.

Most know, as Mike does, my preference for stockmans. What he didn't know is that lately, due to a recent thread about the Sod Buster, I have been wondering why I didn't have one and if I should get one to try it out. Well, now I have one. Fits well in the hand, good walk and talk, and as the accompanying paperwork said, "...honed to a razor's edge..."20201017_085611.jpg20201017_085740.jpg

The only thing I haven't covered is the "why." Why me? I have no idea. All I do know is Mike is one of the finer representatives of the generous folks here at AAPK.

Thanks again, Mike!!

P.S. Got the Sod Buster in my pocket today.

Thank you sincerely for registering to bid on our Free to Carry online auction fundraiser in August.

Work Sharp generously offered to send a gift to everyone in the U.S. registering to bid this year. If you registered and provided an accurate mailing address, you should have already received it, but we failed to provide them with a note to include in the package. If you did not receive a neat little Work Sharp sharpener, please let us know - it probably means your address was not valid or entered.

If you were a successful bidder, we trust you are enjoying your purchase(s)!

We are excited that it was such a successful event for AKTI. Thank you for your interest and support. We hope you’ll join us again for the next one!

Sincerely,

AKTI Free to Carry Co-Chairs

Congrats, Smitty...a great looking knife bomb lands on a most deserving target.

O.K. I did know it was coming because Jerry messaged me and asked for my address. But it does not lessen the impact of gratitude and appreciation I feel. This is what makes AAPK such a great place. The friendship and the camaraderie that we have here. And I feel fortunate and blessed to be a part of it.

Now I am proud to present the latest addition to my Camillus 72 Clone Family. An Ulster 63 Swell Center Whittler. Tight blades with no wobble and great snap. Blades are full, & still have some of the original luster. All I've done is is wipe it down with a Case soft leather chammie. Again, Thanks Jerry,
