Hi guys & gals!
I came home from work today and found on the kitchen table two packages. My wife took it from the postman and rescued them from the amount of snow flying around
- one of the packages was from Jack Black and one from Vanguard. It felt like a child on christmas eve while opening the two packages (as you can imagine). (I took some quick pics, before daylight will move for today...)
In the package of Jack, there was a Lamb Foot knife, made by A. Wright & Sons Ltd., Sheffield, England. The knife seems is brand new and in real great condition. The sheepfootblade is of nice shape, as well as the swayback handle. And a nice One Penny coin, made in 1901. What a wonderful gift from a great guy!! Thank you very much, Jack!
The second package contained something from Vanguard. I made a trade with him, some weeks ago. He showed off a Camillus TL-29. I asked him, if he wants to trade and he said yes. For the TL-29 I sent him a Robert Klaas Penknife with corkscrew. Some months ago, I sent him an old Bundeswehr Kampfmesser (German Army Fighting Knife) old version, which he gave to his son as a gift. For this, I took a Camillus Small Stockman.
So far, so good.
But the package contained two other knives as gifts
- A small Jackknife made by Ulster and a small John Primble Belknap Penknife (which still has its original blade etch). Thank you, Tom!
Let the pics speak at their own again:
I just feel like a boy on christmas now. That´s so great!! Five wonderful knives from two wonderful guys. I can hardly believe it. None of these knives is or even was available here in Germany. So they are such unique gifts.
Thank you so much, Tom & Jack! You couldn´t make a knife knut happier than on such a great day!
Really a belated christmas eve for me, today!
Just right now, my pockets are empty, because I don´t know which knife to put in there and give it some walk around its new home. But this will change soon!
