I bought the beautiful Case Bone Stag Teardrop in Alan's picture.

I bought the Copperlock right above yours

I just had to post this. Earlier today I bought a knife off of the exchange from Alan ( joeradza ) I saw the knife @ 12:01 It was paid for packaged and shipped and I received a picture of the shipping receipt from Alan @12:46. That was 45 minutes from the time I saw the sales thread until I received the proof of shipping. That has to be some kind of record for the exchange. DUH, I think Alan will get a positive feedback. By the way I bought the beautiful Case Bone Stag Teardrop in Alan's picture.

I hope Randy isn't giving me credit for a quick sale. He paid and I walked across the street to the P.O. bing, bang, boom! Hahaha! I love this place.
I think John's deal was quick too.

Yes, it was very quick.

I remember my grandmother using the phrase: "He doesn't know s**t from Shinola". I wonder if that was used much in a particular region, or if that was just her!

It was used in southern Indiana .

My dad lived his whole life in Missouri and Illinois, and he said it.

Ditto from NY. Maybe it was just a generational thing.

I think you're right. And they don't make Shinola anymore. Doesn't work with "Kiwi"!

I guess these days, to insult someone you have to say they don't know Instagram from YouTube. Doesn't have quite the same ring.

It does if you substitute "c**p".
It's used here except we say shoeshine.
Or tit from a toothbrush.

Or how about: "You don't know a sh***er from a Twitter"?

We say "Don't know his *$$ from a hole in the ground"

 

[Prester John]

We say "Don't know his *$$ from a hole in the ground"

I've definitely heard that!

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

Or "he wouldn't know s*** with both hands full"

 

[Prester John]

This conversation is going down the toilet! (Sorry for the bathroom humour)

I had one today! With a Mexican burger that I put a lot of Texas Pete Hot Sauce (made in North Carolina!) on.

 

[meako]

Wouldn't know his a*se from his elbow...is a popular one.

In 2011 another retailer bought the Shinola tradename. Among other things now labeled Shinola is shoe polish, so it is still made. Supposedly better than the original.
