All About Pocket Knives

Scott, you and I are brothers by another mother. We both got bombed within a week of each other. Ain't that special.

Crazy, crazy!!!

This afternoon, I received the pocket knife that is pictured below. I did NOT buy it and I was NOT expecting it. I do NOT recognize the name of the person that was on the return label. The initials of the person are L. R. and he lives in Kentucky. I am NOT unappreciative, it is a VERY NICE pocket knife. However, I believe that this particular pocket knife may have been sent to me in error. The reason that I think it was sent to me in error, is because this pocket knife does NOT fit into any category that I collect. If indeed it was sent to me in error, would L. R. PLEASE PM me. If it was sent to me purposely, I thank L. R. for the nice piece of cutlery and the thoughtful gesture.

Looks like an Imperial to me. Pretty cool knife! Great looking color!

I think, not that it matters, but IMO..., L.R. did a real nice job at picking you as a target Skip! Congrats Buddy!

Edit: Guess I was wrong. Utica?

Well Skip LR is MyHistoracial knives, Lee Roark, and the knife is from me. It's a cattle knife and it looked like a cows head on the handle so I thought it ought to be with the rest of your herd. If it isn't a cows head on the handle then my bad. But I was thinking about you anyway.

Thank you Tom.

Thank you Floyd.
It is a VERY nice pocket knife and is VERY much
appreciated (no cow/steer head)

Very thoughtful of you Floyd. You're a good man and a credit to this forum (and probably other places).

FWIW--The color is reminiscent of a pasture where cows would certainly like to graze. In fact, with a little imagination you can probably see a cow grazing happily in the tall green grass
Nice stealth BOMB, Floyd.

I would have to ingest something a wee bit stronger to
imagine seeing that in the handles of a pocket knife.

Skip is that just just a blob of discoloration in the handle? Maybe I need to go back to the psychiatrist and relook at those ink blotches again.

Floyd, it is indeed a blob of discoloration.
You do not need to see a shrink.

Always enjoy new posts in this thread!!!

Sure is. A great bombing run!

INCOMING!!! Duck and cover!!! I just got bombed all the way from Germany, I bet you guys can guess who from? And a cool 9-11 memorial poem to boot.

Super sweet Schrade fixed blade, awesome stag and full tang. You better be watching out, Tom!

No big deal John. I'm glad you like it my friend!

However..., ALL the credit for that beautiful knife should go to Jack who donated it for the June giveaway.

Thanks again to you Jack! I was affraid that customs might confiscate it so I decided it should stay in America just to be on the safe side. I'm sure you can understand me not wanting to take any chances with it.

Here below is the description Tom posted for the June giveaway.:

"This month Jack (SafdE26) Nabors has donated his beautifully handcrafted Schrade Custom with Sambar Stag covers. The steel is 440C and the sheath is genuine leather. The blade length is 3.75", the handle is 4.25” making the length-overall is 8". Thank you Jack for the fine donation and good luck to everyone that enters this month."

Enjoy your new knife John & you don't have to thank me. The credit goes to Jack.

Thanks to Jack and Tom then! Good to know about the Customs issues, for future reference. If you ever move back to the States, it will be waiting for you, Tom.

Congrats redrider on a fabulous knife. Wow!!! and good for you Tom. Diversionary bombing at it's finest. Great bombee, great bomber and what a wonderful bomb. Good all the way around.

Thank you and I agree completely.

It's yours Buddy! Lord knows I'd love to move back over if I had the money. Right next door to Q & his Monkey! I either need to win the lottery or pray harder for some other miracle to happen.

Looking back though..., almost everything in my whole life has been plan D, E or F. Hardly anything was ever plan A, B or C. Maryland could be a D, E or F state.

A) Hawaii
B) NC
C) ? FL GA
D) Texas
E) SC
F) MD

Something along those lines. Probably just wishful thinking though.

Sorry, drifted off topic a little.

Tom, how about we just trade places... ...I'll move to Germany and you can come live here...of course that would mean you'd have to take over feeding The Monkey...and you already know about his insatiable voracious appetite for knives, especially Mini Trappers! (see my signature below, I'm sure your daughter can translate it for you). It may be the only way I'll ever be rid of the little pest! (Probably just wishful thinking though.)

I knew there would be a catch somewhere! I have to keep the Monkey?

Do I get to keep the Geko too?

Ok, if it will help you, I'll do it. But only because we're friends.

Or..., you can let me live in your shed & I'll be the official knife care taker, gardener ect. ect.

Simia accipit quae vult = Affe bekommt was er will = Monkey gets what he wants

LOL!

Tom, isn't your wife German? What does she think of this dream world you're living in?

Yes she is. We are all 5 (3-kids) on the same sheet of music. We weren't always on the same sheet but we are now. Especially if it was Hawaii ! I'd like to move to NC. I really like that state. Some very friendly people there! Never hurts to dream a little Jerry. Gives me hope & keeps me going.
