Heres my newest knife, courtesy of fellow formite Greg McKenna. I havent been able to pursue knife collecting much lately because were moving from one end of Colorado to the other. My wife and kid are still in Denver while we sell our house and I drive five hours one way to see them on weekends. I dont have a computer now except for when Im at work.
Anyway, I had to work a Sunday night a while back and thought I would bid on this eBay knife while I waited for my phone call. I hit it once but then got my phone call right as the auction was ending. Greg won the auction and immediately emailed me that it was mine at the winning price if I wanted it because he saw I had bid on it. (I think I was the third or fourth highest bidder).
He also threw in a Cripple Creek box and a Parkers catalog that listed a bunch of Creeks so I would have a better handle on prices. (He even took this picture and sent it to me).
I met Greg here on Bladeforums. Hes greatly increased my knife collecting knowledge in general and with Cripple Creeks in particular. I havent met him in person or talked to him on the phone, but I hope that changes in the near future. I think his actions say a lot for the type of people that make up Bladeforums. I hope hes not POed that I outed his good deed in public. I owe someone else here a good deed one day, and Im looking forward to doing it when the chance arrives.
Thanks for putting up with a long post.
