OK, let's see them!!! Proudly display any knives you have received as gifts for this Christmas!!Christmas Fidele 1.jpgChristmas Fidele 2.jpgChristmas Fidele 3.jpg
From my brave non-knife, wife!! She's had a SAK for over 50 years, and that's as far as she's gone with pocket cutlery, except for finding knives I have misplaced (often!!)!!! At 10.5 cms, I will proudly tote this one around!! She did a good job of finding a knife for me here in Canada!!
Merry Christmas to All, and show us what Santa brought you!!

Maybe it's not too late to buy myself a knife for Christmas.

That's become the default Christmas gift plan for my wife and me over the past few years. I usually order a knife or two, usually during Black Friday sales, and my wife wraps them and gives them to me for Christmas and/or my birthday that's less than a week before Christmas. (She usually also buys beers I like but rarely buy for myself because they're "beer budget busters", hides them in the garage, and sends me out to get them on Christmas day.)
She orders some things for herself (tools, craft stuff, clothes, books, it varies from year to year) and I wrap some of them to give to her.

This year she got me a Coursolle rosewood Pradel pattern and a Coursolle brass Plowman knife, both from Knives-of-France.

Only one so far, although I'm told another one is on the way!

Thought I was experiencing a wee bit of Christmas Magic when tracking said, a gift that was ordered on 12/19 was scheduled to arrive on 12/24. The Postman brought it to my door on the 24th but without anyone to sign for it, didn't leave it. I now get to pick it up tomorrow at the PO.

Here's a seller's pic

It almost like having two Christmas! One on the 24th expecting it to be delivered 🎅 and one on the 26th when (in theory) I get to open it. :thumbsup: 🎄🎄
Still a very merry Christmas. Hope yours was too and still is.

That's a good system, as long as you both remember what you hid where.

I was talking to somebody at church who lives in a place geared to the less callow, and she has a couple of fire extinguishers over the stove that go off by themselves if she forgets something too long. And only $5 to replace them if they do go off!

On a related note, I was sitting at the potluck yesterday with about 5 others, and when we got back from the food tables, they all went and sat at a different table. I was trying to be philosophical about my mortal psychic wounding, till I noticed that my silver elf hat was at the table they all went back to instead of the table I'd wandered off to.

I went to knives of France first, and almost bought a Coursolle Pradel, then almost bought a Lacroix queue de poisson, before I settled on the riverine Mora on sale.

Knives of France translates q.de p. into fishtail for us.
