I thought this might be a good place to post a link to this fascinating podcast . Not the only place you can listen to it of course :thumbsup:

Look out Jack! These "post count" posters are popping up by the handful, kind of distasteful in my opinion. 🤨👎

I’m sure I’m one of the guys you’re speaking of, but I want to say I mean no disrespect to this forum or any of the BF members. I work too much, have kids, their sports, etc….not much time to spend here.

Perhaps, it is kind of strange for someone with no time to post more than 6 times since February suddenly posts over 40 times on the day the forum knife order thread goes up. Some may get mad over it but I tend to call it a duck when I hear the damn thing quack.

No disrespect? You spent half of yesterday, basically spamming our sub-forum just to elbow your way into line for our annual sub-forum knife. This community is open to everyone who follows the rules here, but you're not part of that community, so why do you think you're entitled to a knife? I'd say your behaviour has been pretty disrespectful, and sadly you're not alone in that. Many folks here have busy lives, including those who've volunteered their time to make sure that our annual sub-forum knife tradition continues this year, and there are many longstanding members who take some time out, but they don't come back and start making largely meaningless posts in every thread they can find, just to dishonestly inflate their post count. I've been here since 2005, and I've only purchased three forum knives, others also pass on them, because they're not looking to flip them, which I think you'll understand is a suspicion some here would have about those who engage in behaviour like your own. Hopefully, now you've expanded your post count, the least you'll do is stop making a mess of the forum, like you and a few others did yesterday.

It's a Boker U.S.A. Lightweight Jack, I believe. It is an interesting knife. Here's a thread I made asking about it:

Boker U.S.A. #102 Mystery

I bid on this little (3 1/8") Boker USA Jack Knife because it looked kinda neat, I hadn't seen one just like it and it was very cheap. I looked in @herder 's wonderful Boker history book, but didn't see the model #102 in the listing of patterns in the back. I did an online search, and found a...
