Re: It's In The Mail
Used the S.H. sale today. The Zippo is on back order though, so it will be a while till it gets shipped to my mom's. And then mom will take a while to send them over to me. So here they are for a sneak preview. Could be 3-4 months until I finally get them but that's ok. I'll wait.
Thanks for looking friends!

Thought I would take advantage of the moment.

I really need to start picking up a few of the more interesting Zippos. All I have is a Street Chrome, and I've never even filled it. That one with the Mountain Lion looks great!
The Half Whittler and Mini Copperhead I've both been eyeing to replace some really old penknives and a Wharncliffe pattern in EDC. Case is taking a page from the Moore Makers they are now producing, and now have a small lineup of white bone/CV knives. The Half Whittler is among those, while so far, there has not seem to have been a CV Wharncliffe Mini Copperhead. I may get one.

Tom, you must have the patience of Job!
I can barely remember what knives I ordered a week ago. And if they take more than a week to arrive, OCD Monkey throws a royal simian tantrum.

LOL! Jerry & Q! I know exactly how you feel! I think the good Lord is teaching me the lesson of "patience". It's a hard lesson because I'm a slow learner though.

@Dan:
The bit is too hard,
My teeth are soon gone,
They shouldn't make me,
Wait so long!
@Cody: Yes Sir, them Case Zippos are pretty! You should check out what they have over there at S.H. at the moment. Some real beauties! Turkey, Trout, Deer, Mountain Lion, Eagle ect. ect.
I see it this way, I believe that they will hold up in value good enough that I could always get my money back out of them if I ever wanted to. Which I don't think I ever will but who knows. And..., When I order something under $50 and have to pay the $6 shipping fee I always look at the S.H. "accessoires" to see what I can add to my cart to get over the $50 so that I can save the $6 shipping fee. Sometimes it's just a couple of pins & sometimes it's a Zippo. So if you subtract $6 from the price of the Zippos, then they are really a good deal!!! And..., it also supports the mother company of Case. And..., it also encourages Zippo to make even more beautiful Case Zippos. All these points are just in my opinion of course.
Oh, almost forgot one. And..., they really do look beautiful in a showcase along with Case knives! A "MUST" in my showcase anyways! Plus they are a conversation piece in the showcase as well and you can explain the connection between Zippo, Case & Bradford, PA.

Re: It's In The Mail
I know this is the wronge thread but, I took a few pictures real quick to show Y'all how pretty Case Zippos look together with Case knives. IMHO, I don't think you have to be a smoker to enjoy their looks, especially due to there ties to Case Cutlery. If you enlarge the 4th picture up from the bottom, you can even read the words Badford, PA on one of the Zippos. They just look with Case knives IMO. First picture of my showcase is a bit too dark. Last few pictures are my only 4 Case EDC's. The rest of my Case knives & the two Zippos with knife pictures on them are in my little showcase. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
My conclusion is..., "Support Case Cutlery, Buy More Zippos!"

Re: It's In The Mail
Fathers Day in Germany is on May 13th this year. My wife let me pick out a knife for the occasion.
She's a great wife!
Anyways, had my eyes on this one for a while so I picked out this RR Premium Select Stockman. The handles are made with Buffalo Horn, Black Pearl, Abalone & Nickle Silver Spacers. Back springs are with file work. Can't wait to see it.
Thanks for looking friends!

Re: It's In The Mail
Stanley USA Yankee Handyman 133H push-drill and an assortment of fluted drill bits and slotted bits. $28. I figure this will be good for precise and tight jobs, as well as a decent driver. The problem is that Phillips bits for these are incredibly expensive--like $10-15 at least. A guy sells $30 adapters that allows one to use common 1/4 drive bits with these, and that's what I'm gonna go with.

Buy yourself a $5 bit holder for normal bits and grind it to fit inside the Stanly.
A guy at work did that for a multitoll he has. I think it was a Leatherman. May not be an easy task but it is possible. Of course I'm lazy, I'd buy the adapter for $30.
