All About Pocket Knives

Yesterday, I was watching TV and I heard the mailman. I went outside to get the mail and noticed a small white box on my porch. I recognized the name on the return address immediately. It was another AAPK Member.

I opened the box, and inside was a modern Case knife box. I thought to myself, wow, this person sent me a modern Case knife!! Only after opening the knife box did the true contents reveal itself: A 7-Dot Case 6332 in almost perfect condition!!! All 3 blades have excellent snap, and all 3 have half-stops. No scratches, no cracks. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, a card that read "Merry Christmas-will make a nice EDC, Gary (Kennedy Knives).

I've been doing business with Gary for a few months now. Never met him in person, never actually spoken with him. Don't even know what he looks like. And he sends me this beautiful Case 32. What's interesting is that Gary nailed it 3-for-3:

1. Favorite knife brand: Case
2. Favorite Case Pattern: 32
3. Favorite Case "Era" to collect: Original Dot (1970-1979)

Gary, if you're reading this, I don't know what "worldy guidance" prompted you to pick this knife, and I don't know what I did to deserve this, but thank you so much for your kindess and generosity. And rest assured this isn't an EDC, it's a Safe Queen.

Wow! That is a sweet knife, Mike! Congratulations and well done, Gary!

Oh and one more thing: Yes Mike, you deserve it.

Mike is worthy a Great AAPK Member also a fair guy and does one hell of a packing job on any knife I have purchased. I kind of knew what he liked Santa told me

Outstanding! Merry Christmas to both of you!

wow - thats really something special. Great knife & great bunch of guys here on AAPK (#32 is my fave Case pattern too Mike - Case got it right with that one)

This is the kind of thing that makes AAPK such a great place! Using glenbad’s thought, congratulations to both, the “giver and receiver”! That’s the Christmas spirit.

WOW.....
Great gift.
Very nice giver. (exceptional gesture!!)
A good guy receiver! Congrats Mike.

GREAT all around!!

Nice one. Enjoy.

Great stuff guys I love reading about these showings of generosity. To the world looking in there is a perception of knife enthusiast being shady even criminal types but nothing could be farther from the truth. I have found the vast amount of them to be kind, honest and generous to a fault.
