Did anyone receive a knife for Father's Day? My wife gave me a Kershaw Tanto Blur. I can't wait to try it out.
 
A pair of Camillus carbon steel bladed traditionals. A pen and a mini trapper with Delrin scales.

I got a Benchmade 440. It's not one I would have bought myself from the pictures I've seen on the internet, but now that I have it - it's really a nice little knife. Good size for my dress slacks, excellent quality, and very smooth.
 
Woke up to the sound of a 11 yr old being sick because of consuming too much popcorn last night, later when I was making breakfast I was presented with an SMF. Sick or no sick, they're keepers.

There is the definition of being a parent.
 
Not a knife, but a tool. My son came over for lunch and presented me with a Swiss-Tech Micro Max 19 in 1 keyring tool. I've never had one, but it seems like it will be really handy. I presented my son with a 5lb sirloin tip roast, baby spring green peas, rice w/peppery brown gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, and real southern ice sweet tea! I don't mind saying that I know how to cook.
 
Hi,

No knife for me. But that's OK, I got a new coffee pot. Just wanted to say, knrafeng, those two Camillus' slippes are nice!!:thumbup::thumbup:

The wife and kids got me a large micarta sebenza. I've been fondling it for about a week now and I had to pretend to be surprised.
 
No new knife here....:grumpy:....BUT, my wife and kids got me a 16GB iPod Touch along with a gift card for Best Buy. :D :thumbup:
 
A Spyderco Worker in stainless, and a CS Magnum II Tanto(always wanted one). I have a CS Recon 1 tanto PE on the way as well.
 
My 2 y.o. daughter got me a ZT 350se, and a Kershaw Shallot s110v.

I actually purchased them on her behalf. Why both you ask?

Well... I ordered the Shallot online, while it was being shipped... I went to the gun show with some buddies. Handled the ZT350 there, and purchased it. I was planning on returning the Shallot immediately after receiving it. The Shallot was delivered, I could not resist handling it... thinking I would put it right back and and ship it back. BUT, I ended up liking it more than the ZT... I would not be able to return the ZT... so I ended up with both!

My wife got a Marc Jacobs purse that was more expensive for Mothers Day... so it was easy to convince her to let me keep both. lol.
 
I replied to an equivalent post in the Spyderco forum. I received a Spyderco Rock Salt. It wasn't a surprise because I was involved in it's purchase but it is the best Fathers Day gift I have ever been given. It is already my new favorite fixed blade.
 
I did not get a knife but my son and wife always get me some tools. She got me some more wise grips and he got me some more files. I always get her a knife for christmas birthdays and anniversary. She like handmade folders small ones like her. Monday is our anniversary and I got her a Ruffin Johnson Ivory lockback. For her birthday he is making her a fluted ivory dagger. Ifluted the ivory and carried it to him. She also had a Robert Capdepon pearl handled liner lock and am thinking about gettin her a new one since this is one I got her in 1998. Most wifes would not want a knife but she likes them from makers that she has meet and really likes. The Johnson are top notch people as well as Bobby Capedepon.
Happy Fathers Day to all

My soon to be wife got me this beautiful bayonet for fathers day. I had no idea what she was cooking up. All I knew was she got it from the local surplus dealer. It was from the owners personal collection.

I haven't done any research yet or stopped by to talk with the previous owner yet so all I know is what she told me about it and what is written on the label. Also, it is in excelent condition. No dents etc and the construction is as good as I've seen (but I haven't seen many and I'm no expert). Maybe someone here knows more.

1891
Argentine
Brass handle
might have ben used by south african rebels...

The makers mark is:
Weyersberg
Kirschbaum & Co
Solingen

EDIT: AFTER RESEARCH

The first thing I found out with the help of google is the maker is a German company...The term Argentine refers to the country it was produced for under contract and 1891 refers to the mauser model it was designed to fit (M1891 Argentine Mauser)

"Sword bayonet for use on the Argentine M1891 Mauser rifle."
total length: 20.5"
Blade length: 15.75"


A basic rundown of the full story below...they were produced in Germany under contract for Argentina. The Brass handle is very rare. In fact I cant seem to find one for sale anywhere. The argentine crest is ground off on mine becuase it was sold as surplus to another country...this is where the south african rebels story comes into play.


A more detailed account:

Argentinean 1891 & 1909 Sword Bayonet made by "WEYERSBERG KIRSCHBAUM
& CO SOLINGEN" of Germany for the 1891-1909 Mauser Rifle.
The bayonet for the Argentine Mauser Model 1891 rifle as I said above
were made in Solingen Germany, under contract for Argentina, either
directly or for Loewe or DWM to ship with the Model 1891 Mausers.
They are found with aluminium or silver alloy grips most of the 1891
versions. Some have "Brass Grips" which are much less common, and
believed to be produced for Argentinean Navy or Police issue. Usually
the Argentine crest with liberty cap on a pole has been defaced or
removed.
Collectors like these brass handled bayonets, because they are old
and fancy. However, they are not that common and yet, usually found
in excellent condition!
The reason for (if you do not have the Argentinean crest on your
bayonet) the Argentinean crest being ground off is that Argentinean
law prohibits the sale of its military surplus with national markings
still on. If you have the crest then it will only enhance the sale
price of these fine bayonets!
