Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Dale, I think your knife is simply spectacular. Truly amazing for many reasons: produced by Al Mar, the subject of the knife [RVN], that Mr. Mar was your friend, that you have been gifted with this treasure by Mel, another friend. You have been mightily blessed Dale. Mightily.
Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I totally agree Garry!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I've Been Hit!!!!!!!!!!! I was expecting a Knife from TripleF, it came in today, and the Waskely Wabbit threw in a Bomb Pack with it. First one of his Great Carved Spoons, he does beautiful work. Next a Survival Lanyard which is over 12 inches long and must have at least 25 foot of Paracord involved, which also has a mini roll of duct tape, a led mini light, a multi blade screwdriver with four leaf clover for luck, a small knife lanyard, and one of his pens with some notepads. I really do appreciate it. I have already put the Survival Lanyard and Spoon with my light back pack I use when I go kayak fishing and use for day trips with overnights. Besides all the knowledge, camaraderie, and great people, it's things like this that also make this one of the greatest sites on the old interwebs.

That's my man Scott, trying to make the world a better place, one small bomb at a time. Keep it up Scott. You're a breath of fresh air in a me-me-me world.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Bombed by an eBay seller. Thanks Michael!
Hi folks,
So I bought a Schrade Uncle Henry LB-1 on eBay the other day. I'll be honest, the seller's user name seemed familiar but I didn't put 1+1=2 together.
Turns out it was the same seller I bought those 5 Carl Rader MOP PEN KNIVES from a while back. The guy I told you guys the story about him & a friend driving around Solingen buying up NOS from closed stores. Michael.
Well he did put 1+1 together & after I paid for the LB-1, he sent me a message asking how I was doing, had I been Vaccinated yet ect. ect. And at the end he said, Your LB-1 is on it's way to you & I threw in a little surprise.
As it turns out, it was actually 2 surprises. A small sharpening stone & a brand new BERGKVIST Tactical knife. My first knife of this sort. (not counting my Ken Onion Chives) What a nice & thoughtful surprise! It's a very nice looking knife and it'll shave the hair off my arm. I wrote back to him again today and thanked him for his kind gift.
I will be posting pictures of the two knives in a few more threads. Then add a Link to this thread so I don't have to repeat my story everywhere.
Thanks for looking friends!
