On Christmas morning my son will be 8 1/2 months old. On that day he'll open his first present from Santa. Thanks to Santa's elves in Post Falls, Idaho, he'll open a little package which contains, so Santa's elves tell me, a CS Buck 110 in S30V, nickel silver bolsters, KOA Flamewood, pins, finger grooves, with a brown leather sheath and with "MAXWELL" "ADAM" engraved on the bolsters.

Then I'll keep it for him until our first hunting trip together and which point he'll receive it again when his first camp fire is lit.

(Hopefully, life will play out as imagined)
 
Awesome. Christmas will be more and more fun for him as begins to understand what's happening. My son is 2 1/2 and when I asked him what he wants Santa to bring he said a blue drum. Fun stuff.

That is great:thumbup:! Hopefully you also had Buck engrave the date, or at the very least "Christmas 2009" on it so he will always remember when he received it.

"Christmas" is more than 8 characters, the max per line on CKS knives. Though they could do "12-25-09".

When I bought my very first Buck knife in 1972, a 301, there was no engraving done for them, so I took a wood handle pin and heated the point red hot, and melted " '72 " on the scale. I also melted my initials on the other side. I still use this knife and it's the only way I've managed to remember the year I purchased it. (With needle nose pliers I bent the red hot point to make the characters, sometimes "striking" the scale more than once to complete the figure. ) I still use that knife.
 
Rabbit, Darn I like that . Well, having no son ...
Hoopster, Whats the dog biting in your photo ? DM
 
along those lines; I've already made arrangements with a funeral home here, that at my passing their to drive me through town with a U-Haul trailer hooked to the bumper . So,
everyone that sees it will know and say, there goes David Martin, taking it all with him . DM ;)

My hand. I was play slapping at her mouth to get her to do that. She's actually a sweetheart and does great with our little boy. They love each other.
 
Two weeks from the time the CS knife was ordered, I received an e-mail that it had shipped. That's oddly way ahead of schedule (espeically for this time of year), but these things can happen. What is also odd is that the the UPS tracking info shows the package is originating in Spokane, Washington. Does that sound right? Why is it not coming from Post Falls?

When they come to me the tracking is from Spokane.
 
Good. I feared that origination locaton and the unusually fast production time meant I should expect there to have been some mix up in the order.
 
Customs as gifts for the youngins are great. I just wish tho, that they would put the year stamp on them.

Without paper, all recent customs are from the same year. Make up what ever year you want. :mad:

Gave the grandson a 112 with his birth year stamp on it -
and explained the stamps to him. Now I have a 110 -- to give him.

Just me and the lack of a year stamp on customs thang. :rolleyes:
 
What happened to the holiday cheer?

Max's knife arrived. I'll try to take photos tomorrow. My brother also called to say that the CS 110 he ordered for me (same knife) arrived today.
