BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD

[carrmillus]

.....I remember at one time long ago, my dad had one of those Purina knives!!!................. ............

[TPK]

Now Tom, that Case should never have left the states! Great group of knives. Happy for you. Great shot Redrider.

Your so right Floyd! That Case should never have left the states! I'm really sorry! And I promise you, if I ever win the lottery, it will be moving back to the states ASAP!
Untill then, I'm just borrowing it for my showcase.

.....I remember at one time long ago, my dad had one of those Purina knives!!!................. ............

About a year & a half ago my mom told me that her dad carried a Purina as his EDC. I had no idea what they looked like so I Googled it and I liked how it looked. The rest is history & you guys are stuck with me now. Sorry! That's why they have a Special spot in my knifer's heart.

IMO, If your dad had one you should get yourself one.

Happy you're enjoying them, Tom. They have found a nice home for sure. Since I have another Queen just like it, that makes us knife bros.

[Stanwade]

I have one too!! I guess we're all three knife brothers! Been carrying it off and on lately.

Philip (treefarmer) also has one. Y'all have quite the little club going there.

We like to call it "22 Queens in one Deck / Bros Club"

[glennbad]

Thanks guys.

Well, don't keep us in suspenders. Share your guess with us. That's a nice looking little money clip. I carried one similar to that for years. It advertised Clark Fork Lifts. A friend gave it to me. I haven't carried it in years but I still have it around here someplace.

I did a little sleuthing here on the sight. The package originated in Portsmouth, NH, the address only 8 miles from where I used to live in Dover, NH. Believe it or not, I found a clue from "doglegg" Floyd of Texas, that leads me to believe the bomber was glennbad. Pease Air Force Base (former home to the 509th Bomb Wing, how appropriate) there in Portsmouth was active at the time I graduated from Dover High in 1980, so I'm sure AF items are quite easy to find, if the bomber didn't carry this himself.

Thanks again to the bombardier!

I'm just getting caught up on this thread. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Steve. Although I do live in NH, and am former USAF myself, I am NOT the bomber. I would hate to think someone else's fine generosity got attributed to the wrong giver.

The mystery continues...

[Steve Warden]

Hmmmm....

Way to go Glen, you've discombobulated him and he will be losing sleep, looking haggard and wandering around mumbling to himself. In other words you've turned him into a hot mess.

I got bombed, sort of. My oldest boy (15) is crazy into trapping and he bought some various Mora knives, even bought one for his younger brother. Well, younger brother and he traded back and forth on one and Jackson wound up with two just alike. So he patinaed the blade, oiled it up, and came into the living room yesterday and gave it to me. Bless him.

So here’s my new Mora.

[doglegg]

A great knife made even better. Congrats. You have a new favorite special knife.

No doubt you raised 'em right. Well done.
Congrats Colonel!!

[jerryd6818]

Those boys are a direct reflection on their parents. All y'all are good people Cuz & I'm proud to "know" ya.

[Colonel26]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It will definitely hold a special place in the knife pile for sure.

It is quite the reversal though. Normally the boys are going through my knives and dividing them up between themselves. lol.

[QTCut5]

I'm sure you've all heard of the bomb-sniffing dogs used by TSA at the airports, but it may surprise you to know that I have a bomb-sniffing Gecko in my office.

As soon as I got home from the PO and dropped the incoming packages on my desk, Chief Security Gecko First Class, Gordo, immediately began his routine sniffing protocol searching for anything suspicious or out of the ordinary.

Nothing to see here...

This checks out...

Oh-Oh!...What's that over there?

Unexpected Package Alert!

The perpetrator's name is revealed: Thomas DeVore, aka, TPK

The bomb's outer shell casing is removed and the defusing process begins...

...multiple levels of disguise must be peeled back carefully...

Is this some kind of code hidden in an apparently friendly greeting or is it a booby-trap cleverly designed to make me drop my guard??

I cautiously remove the cryptic note and the "guts" of the bomb are exposed

Suddenly, without warning...***BOOM!!!***

A Brand Spanking New Boker Magnum Scout Knife with Absolutely Gorgeous Ebony Wood Handle Scales AND a handmade TPK Custom Lanyard. WOW! .
Tom, I am seriously BLOWN AWAY and I can't tell you how SUPER HAPPY I am to be the unsuspecting recipient of your BEAUTIFUL BOKER BOMB.

[QTCut5]

The Gorgeous Ebony Wood handle deserves closer inspection for full appreciation.

The bombers "confession"

Tom, I have to disagree with you on one point: this Boker is every bit as nice as the Case knife I sent you.
My wife has already claimed it to be her new car knife where it will ride in the glove box and be ready for service on the road.
Thanks again, brother, you are much too kind.
Aloha Nui Loa.

Congrats Q, I've got a couple of those Magnums and they are nice.
