I was going to inform Dantone through pm that the gift he sent my way arrived. However, I just remembered my membership expired, so it looks like a public thank you will have to do. :D
Long story (sort of)short, I mentioned how a very unfortunate situation had recently caused me to cancel the purchase of a bull nose that I had set up with a friend. The next morning I wake to see a pm from Dantone asking me for my address. Well, fast forward to today, I got home from a long day of aimless driving around in the midst of the Christmas eve chaos to find that magical small priority box sitting on the kitchen table. My first thought was to rip into it like a pack of rabid monkeys, but then I decided that I can wait one more day. I will say that I felt something "tube-ish" in the box while "examining" it. So, 6" piece of 1" PVC pipe seems plausible, but then again he did say the item would have an edge and a snap. I'm stumped. :confused:
Here it is under the tree

I feel like a kid again. Christmas morning can't get here fast enough!


Oh, and on a side note, lazy boy recliners are much harder to wrap then one might think.

Okay, I finally have a minute to update. Honestly I would have been content with anything just because of the thought, because that is all that matters right?
But, man, I was very excited to find a brand new 71 in green micarta when I opened the box this morning. The knife is great, but what makes this even better was the fact that he had to hunt one of these down on the secondary market. Words do not express how much I appreciate this thoughtful and generous gift.
Thank you Dantone, and thank you to the traditional forum for proving time and time again that this world is still full of really really good people! You guys and gals are some of the best people I know!
Now how about a pic of said 71?

I must say that this knife really lives up to the hype. The fit and finish is as good as I've seen and in some regards better then the few northwoods I've handled. The green micarta is just great. This one will definitely see a lot of pocket time!
 
Very Nice!! Kudos all the way around. Merry Christmas to all....and to all... enjoy your knives.
