Congratulations Garry. That is indeed a splendid and thoughtful gift. Floyd is just that kind of guy.
AAPK is lucky to have him as a member.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I've been involve in a couple of "bombing" raids recently, and I know just how you feel Garry, I found the experience almost overwhelming.
As nice as it was to receive it was just as nice to give, so you should be feeling good and Floyd should too, and I'm sure you both are.
Congratulations on acquiring an absolutely beautiful piece that goes along with others in your collection, and congratulations to Floyd for being so thoughtful in choosing which knife to send Garry, both you guys are valuable assets to our forum. Oh yah, you too, Jerry!

Yes indeed...sweet knife bomb, Floyd, and a perfect bullseye landing it on Garry. A fantastic bombing run all around. Such kindness and generosity is truly a beautiful thing to be a part of as well as to witness.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Well I go to my mailbox yesterday, and I take out a box and look it over and see that it is from doglegg (Floyd). I am not expecting anything so I don't know what is going on. When I open it I find out that it is a BOMB from Floyd. Evidently I made the mistake of bemoaning my bad luck of having never won a monthly knife giveaway and Floyd took this personally and sent me one of his winners. And more! It was like he dropped a 3 megaton nuclear bomb on me. WOW! As shown below, he sent me the knife he won in the February drawing that was customized by Dale (Orvet), as well as a Camillus fishing knife rehandled by Jeffin, and a Remington whittler in the configuration of the Camillus 72. I was absolutely speechless by this gesture, but that is the kind of guy Floyd is. Thanks a million, Floyd.

Wow doglegg, you 'ol sneaky snake in the grass. Look at you tripple bombing OCutler. Great gesture my friend, indeed kind of you and very thoughtful and congrats O Cutler. I thought complaining never helped anything, they told me. Well it helped get a bombing run loaded and aloft. Great exchange blade brothers.

Within was this magnificent ivory-handled Bulldog Sowbelly. As some of you know, Bulldog is my favorite and most collected brand.
This particular knife will be my Sunday knife today and for many Sundays to come. It is a real gem. While I have thanked Floyd privately, I want to again do so here. Many thanks for a spectacular bomb.

Woooooooooooooooooooooe. Congrats a million QS. That is a killer. Killer knife, killer bomber/bombed, killer appropriateness, killer tusk. I could go on. Way to go Floyd.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Recently, knowing that QS was taking care of his sweet sister Bev after she had an accident, I thought I would encourage him a little and show him a little respect for being such a good brother. I sent him a Bulldog I had. I forgot his military background and tactical mind but today I was reminded. Return fire showed up in my mailbox in the form of an absolutely fabulous Queen made S&M whittler! A total surprise and wonderful knife. I guess be careful who you target. Thank you Garry for such thoughtful generosity.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
SWEET BOMB!
Floyd and Garry seem to be set on the path of Mutually Assured Delight!
Congrats Floyd and Well done Garry.
Amazing, simply amazing.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
It would appear that pay-back is NOT bit*h!
That's one fine knife sent with caring from one fine fella to another fine fella!
So, there's a bit of pay-back Floyd, for all the generosity you've displayed lately!
And Garry, your generosity was never in question and this "BOMB" proves that!
A fine display of friendship, guys!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Scott, I am thoroughly envious. The handle, the choice of carbon steel, and the style all add up to a super bomb. Congratulations to you and your talented bombadier.
Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Man alive, the bombs just keep getting better and better. That Mango Wood is absolutely gorgeous and the knife it's on is pretty cool too. Great bomb Jeff and congrats, Scott, on a well-deserved mailbomb. You guys ROCK!
