All About Pocket Knives

Congratulations, Scott, it's not hard to tell how excited you are! That's a beautiful skinner!
And good on Jeff for his unending generosity!
Bombs away!

It's a real pleasure to read this thread! What a great group of folks!
Our country's leaders should take notice.

Congrats Scott! Beautiful looking bomb!

Good deal Jeff! Your one cool dude!

They say "Everything's BIGGER in TEXAS!"

Man they are not kidding around when they say that either!

I just took a direct hit from a 7 1/2 lb. "Mega-Bomb" from C-WADE7.

Turns out he had a few (ok, so it was more like 30) license plates for me to add to my collection of U.S. plates. Of course they are all super additions to my collection & there are some extra cool plates amongst them as well. Like a Texas Purple Heart , a MD with the MD flag colors & three different Oklahoma Native American plates, just to name a few.

These newest additions bring down the number of states I am still missing to just 11 more states.

Of course I will add a couple of them to the AAPK Members corner together with plates from myself & three other AAPK members (JerryD., Steve Warden & Don - Grump01).

Thank You soooooo much my friend!!! You really helped me a lot with my collection & I truely appreciate your generousity! What a super cool gift! Your too kind!

Congratulations to both the sender and the sendee! That is a powerful addition to your collection,Tom.

That's a fine idea for a "Bomb", Tom, rather than the usual knives we see, congratulations!
Very well thought out "Bomb" from C-W7, he was definitely thinking about what you'd like beside knives!

It is Garry! Really thrusted me forwards towards my goal of having all 50 states. Only need 11 more now so who knows, maybe I can reach my goal by the end of this year.
That would be awesome!

I'm totally stoked about it! I was so excited when I saw them yesterday! Can't wait to get them added to the others on the walls of my car port. Will try to do that this sat.

A couple of my neighbors have commented that my collection looks good. European plates are so boring to look at but the U.S. plates are soooooo colorful & differentiated. Each state has so many unique colors & so many themes. It's crazy! You could collect these things for years. I plan on adding a few from Canada once I get all 50 states completed. How many different states would we be talking about here?

Tom, here's what to look forward to, Re: Canadian License Plates.

Oh Cool! Thanks Jerry! Appreciate it Buddy!

Only 13. I can do that! If I can find them all over here in Germany on the Bay. I'll start looking, now, maybe I can find a couple of them while I'm still working on getting the U.S. completed. Those must be huge states though because I think Canada is a little bit larger than the U.S. I'll have to check that.

Add: Canada is a little bit larger than the U.S. And as I see, they also have cool & colorful license plates. They'll go great with the others.

Second Add: Found some on the Bay. Like 370 of them. They cost a little more than the U.S. plates but I can wait for good deals. I may never get the "Bears" though. Holy Cow!!!!!!! They are expensive!!!!!! Cheapest one I saw on 10 pages was €70. The most expensive one I saw was €499. The good thing about it was, shipping was free.

Thanks, Jerry, the best I could have done was tell Tom there are 13 provinces to collect!
That's a shame they're so expensive, Tom, but unfortunately the high prices coincide with what they REALLY cost when you register your car and receive your plates! It stands to reason the "Bears" would be costly, they are extremely rare, in fact, I've never even seen one in the flesh, so to speak, and I've lived here for 70 years! Perhaps someone will "bomb" you one, Tom, hint hint!

Wow! 70 years & you have never seen one over there. They must be extreamly, extreamly rare!
No wonder they cost so much. The cheapest one I found was €70. I'll just have my eyes open, maybe I can snag one for € 20-30 some day. It's like good knives, gotta catch em when everyone else is off gaurd. It does happen.

Gonna call it a day Buddy,
Have a good one,
Tom

The "Bears" are so expensive, Tom, cuz they're for the most northerly provinces where it's REALLY cold and much less populated, so the only opportunity one would have to see one would be if they were up north visiting or on business. Of course there's the possibility of someone from up north coming down to one of the cities for whatever reason, but as I said, in all my time here that hasn't happened to me where I've seen one.
They're super-cool plates, and I'll keep an eye out for you for a "Bear" at a reasonable price!

You bet!

I received a few cool items from Ivoryman today! A few of these were sent previously and the rest just showed up today.
Thanks Brian for the very cool carved items!

Congrats Jeff. Are not Iman creations the best? I have a couple of his things as well and love them.

Awesome! Congrats Jeff!

Good on you Brian!

Congratulations, Jeff, those are some cool pieces!
Hats off to Iman for his original thinking when dropping a "BOMB"!
A good deal all round guys!

Had some incoming from Roseville, Michigan today!
Jeff bombed Starvation Plantation with a big ol' Schrade 858 covered with stabilized, toasted Maple burl wood.
It's too purty to sharpen and put in my pocket! Thank you, Jeff.
In Jeff's note that accompanied the bomb he said he hoped things were going well. I told him I had been blessed twice today, earlier I figured out the problem with the tractor and then received this wonderful knife.
