All About Pocket Knives

I had mentioned that I had around 7 different SAK's and I had been carrying one since the early 80's. He said he bought a Alox Pioneer in 1977 in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the mall and had just retired it!! I mentioned that I would have to look that one up and didnt have one. He messaged me and asked for my address and he said he found something in his house he thought I might like. Well, my wife told me on my lunch break that I had a package. Man, that second half of the day was so long. I couldn't wait to get home. I just got home from work and opened my package and now am the PROUD owner of a beautiful Alox Pioneer SAK!! Thank you so much Chris!! I will carry it and show this knife off at work and will always think of such a nice gesture on your part Chris!! My wife says,"that is one pretty knife!!!

Along with my purchase of some Beautiful Stag Mini-Ts he was looking to move, he included this unbelievably Gorgeous Northwoods Giraffe Bone Hawthorne Jack "BOMB" that left me shellshocked like no Bomb ever has before or ever will again. And the history of this beautiful knife and unprecedented act of kindness and generosity makes it even more special.

Q had offered this knife for purchase a couple of years ago while we were working on another one of our many deals, but his good friend Brian (Ivoryman) beat me to the punch to add it to his legendary Northwoods collection. Fast forward two years after the tragic loss of our friend, Brian's wife sent Q this knife with a couple others that held great sentimental value. Of course, Q being who he is, remembered how much I loved this Gorgeous knife and absolutely blew my mind by adding it to the group of beautiful Mini-Ts he sent.

Thanks again, my friend, for this special knife that will be the centerpiece of my collection and will always serve as a reminder of the generosity of great friends I have made here on the Forum.

I mentioned how much I liked the one that Tony posted and was hoping to purchase one, but before I could get that done, Tony sent me one gratis. Thank you Tony, I plan to use this one and see how it holds up. Been excited to try out one of these Rosecraft Blades ever since I purchased a few a year or two ago. I like this blue denim Micarta, looks great and I am sure it will hold up over time with use. I like the way the run up on these is tight and the centering is spot on. High quality piece.

Pringletree made a direct hit this morning!
An interesting knife made it through from West Virginia, a rehandled Camillus from the Riders of the Silver Screen series. Chris said herba of AAPK fame, recoverd it with dark red canvas micarta.
The big, heavy duty knife reminds me of a #23 Camillus, just has a blade on each end. Told Chris it might be an equal end moose or a cigar moose.
Pringletree said it was intended as a EDC, it'll get some pocket time. 1000002062.jpg1000002061.jpg
Thanks again, Chris!
