Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Got bombed yesterday! Found this money clip in my mailbox. The bomber left no note, but going by the return address I have a guess as to who it might have been. If it is, I know they have quick access to a runway!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Take care and God bless,

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.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Thanks guys.
Thanks again to the bombardier!
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.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 12:52 pm Well, don't keep us in suspenders.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I was expecting the Case Mini-Trapper in a swap with Steve. I was not expecting a second package. The name on the return address wasn't familiar to me until I opened it up and saw the card.
And check out the little GTO Hot Wheels he sent along with it. How cool is that!!!!!!
DocB blew me right outta the water. Totally unexpected and totally out-bloody-standing. A custom based on a Camillus 27 Electricians knife. Not only that, it has my screen name for a shield. Jim, how in the name of all that's good and plenty did you do that. It's superific and on top of that a small Marine Corps Emblem inlet into the handle. Holy Jehoshaphat!! This bad boy is just the cat's meow. I'm out of platitudes. Here she is.
THANK YOU JIM!!!!!
It's already up on my "Love Me" shelf above my desk.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Glad you like it Jerry! Now that the "cat is outta the bag"...I can finish the "Deconstructed / Reconstructed what?" thread, that I started. Just now sitting down to dinner. Will complete the thread, in a bit, with pictures, showing the shield (from a dogtag).

Scott knew I like my chickens and must have known, or guessed I like nutcrackers so he gifted me this. Thanks Scott. I really appreciate the gift and your friendship.____Dave

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Dave, that's a neat lookin' nut cracker. Scott knows what he doing, most of the time. Being bombed on AAPK is a pleasant surprise. I was sitting in my recliner watching the news and shelling peas this afternoon when Miss Joy comes in with a big ol' envelope from Pennsylvania. She wanted to know what I had ordered? Nothing was my reply, I hadn't ordered anything. This quickly escalated into a big time bombing! Seems that Stanwade felt like the old man need a bit of cheering after going through the MRI. Ryan, it did cheer me up, my cyber friend! When the bomb detonated it revealed 2 Queens a Sabre along with a tube of Quick Release! The Queen Barlow has the one arm opening blade and is of the same construction as the Queen #27 that I asked about earlier today. This on has the Q76 stamp and is unbelievably light weight due to the aluminum frame that encases the springs. The bolsters are also part of the frame. The little Sabre trapper is a #614. Ryan suggested it might be a good knife for a beginner. The big Queen kitchen knife is stamped #B408 and it needs good sharpenin'. I'll find a place for it in the kitchen knife block. Let me just say if you haven't tried the Quick Release oil you're missing out. I'm ashamed to say I haven't bought any in several years but it is good stuff!
Thanks again, Stanwade!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I knew this Bomb was incoming but none the less, it's still a Bomb in my book.
John (1967redrider) dropped three knives off at my mom's house some time ago simply for the sake of being nice.
Thank you John! I really appreciate it! Your awesome man!
Here are some group pictures of them & I'll post some pictures of the individuell knives in the appropriate threads today or tomorrow. Thanks for looking!
1) 1980 Case A6235 1/2 Jack Knife (A.K.A. Regular Jack, Swell end Jack or Teardrop Jack) This is my first Case with an 80's stamp & my first #35 pattern. I really like this pattern & the scales are breathtaking.
2) Queen etched "Queen Steel #22" with enclosed springs. This is my first ever Quenn knife and my first knife with enclosed springs. Very light weight also.
3) Last but not least, a Purina Kutmaster Utica NY. USA that is already in my front right pocket.
I have a Special place in my heart for Purina knives.
Being a part of this forum is a real Blessing to me! It's great to know all of you wonderful people with your hearts in the right place!
