Box O Goodies Round II / The Christmas in July edition / Tracking and pics thread

[Correction Edit:
I left my original text below but...now I've done some research and it looks like the knife that RR (and this is definitely an RR) calls a Doctor's knife does indeed have a large and small cutting blade and no spatula. A fruit testing knife seems to usually have a single blade, this one definitely has 2. It seems that this might well be RR's version of a Doctor's knife and I learned something new. That is always a good thing. :) I would have to assume that the end of the knife is sealed as that DOES appear to be a correct requirement of a Doctor's Knife although it doesn't appear sealed above. That said, the main blade also seems longer than this pic of a RR Doctor's knife - so, hell, I dunno. :D

I thought that one of the "blades" in a Doctor's Knife was, in fact, a spatula, not a cutter. In the case of that knife, both blades are cutting blades. Perhaps I'm wrong about the spatula and some may not have it, but that is what I based my comment on and what I always have thought was one criteria to be considered a Doctor's Knife. But, I could certainly be wrong. Lol! I often am as my Wife enjoys reminding me. :D

BTW, while I have the knife already sealed in its box to be mailed, the other aspect of a Doctor's Knife is that one end should be sealed as that end is used to crush medicines and that crushed med should not get into the knife's mechanism. I don't recall the end being sealed (in the pic above it doesn't appear sealed), but here I'm relying on memory and perhaps it actually is sealed. But that isn't how I remember the knife. Of course memory is about as reliable as my being right...

Yes, they replace the pill counting spatula with a pen blade on the RR version. The end is flat and the springs and liners along with the bolsters form a solid pillcrushing surface.

I've used this knife almost daily to cut up fruit, open mail, cut up boxes, etc for over 2 years. Just had to sharpen it for the first time a few weeks ago.
 
Box arrived the other day. That thing was packed to the brim!! I will pass it along monday. How do I find the address of the next lucky contestant?
 
box is on it's way. I think it may be time for a larger one. it was packed to the limit. when I brought it to the post office the guy picked it up and exclaimed "now that is getting your money's worth!"
 
Box arrived on Friday and it is stuffed! I took out a couple of Bucks and put a couple back in along with a few other knives and gear. Here us what i scored!, box should be shipped tomorrow to the next lucky one! 20131216_0017281.jpg
 
cool - have some stuff to toss in, hope there's room.
anyone after me have any realistic wants, just in case I have something here that you actually want? :)
 
box arrived today - full, full, full.
currently everything still fits in a small flat rate box -- I either have to rethink what was going in, or size up -- what do folks think?

OK, I rethought what'll go in.
here's what came out:

as soon as I have a name and address, this will be on its way to the next recipient.
