When I first joined the Fraternal, Ancient and Noble Brotherhood of Trad Knife Collectors and Forumites
I was researching a replacement knife for one that was given to me by a work colleague and rescue trainer.
I knew nothing beyond the word penknife and the only thing I'd ever sharpened successfully was a pencil.
Little did I know of the world that awaited me here on bladeforums.
I was overwhelmed by your get well messages after my recent stay in hospital and I'd like if I may to say a heartfelt thank you
by offering you the chance to win one of my most prized possessions.
Give away the presshhuss? What an insane notion.
I'm a greedy little miser at heart and would unlikely shout if a shark bit me so if you choose to enter I will make you work.
First heres a pic of me on the hoist getting running repairs done(Janette made me the fish hat ...enough said about that)

Next heres the prize- a USA Schrade 5OTG. With its green and gold livery it appeals to all Australians .

Now heres the challenge.
A knife collection related limerick.
The one that makes me laugh the most will win.
If you haven't already guessed I have a somewhat irreverent sense of humour.
For my American friends somewhere between Spongebob and Eddie Murphy.
For my English chums somewhere between Benny Hill and The Mighty Boosh.
For My Canadian buddies somewhere between Wayne & Shuster and Jim Carrey.
For the Kiwis (both of them) somewhere between The Flight Of The Conchords and ....err....aaahhhhmm....The Flight Of the Conchords.
Heres one I penned earlier to get the ball rolling-
I told my old lady
I need a new bladey
She said to me "not on yer life!"
I went on the bay
& the very next day
I needed not knife but new wife.
I'll run it until the 16th of July(when I get off the antibiotics).
Thank you.

Not an entry, but what an awesome idea! This should be the beginnings of a rather humorous thread!

Cheers Paul and Thanks for reminding me-if you say "not an entry" that means you automatically get in the random draw for the consolation prize.

Even without a limerick? Not an entry.
I'm sorry you've been sick and glad you're getting better.
 
There once was a knife knut named meako,
A Traditional sub-forum freako.
He sat in the shade
Whittlin' with his blade,
Nicked his thumb and then sprung a leak-o!

Best of luck on your recovery, and thanks for the chance!
 
Not an entry Meako, hope all will be well, and good luck to everyone :)

Good effort bvik.

I think a limerick is supposed to have 5 lines. Not good at this kind of thing, but...

There was a young feller called Arlo
Who liked to carry a Barlow
His Bolster was long
Quite unlike this song
But just like the thread on the Charlow
 
there once were fine knives sold by Schrade
their patterns were oft nicely made
their funds in arrears
Taylor bought them to tears
and now their old rep - it does fade.

Yes thats an entry.I'll have a consolation giveaway mystery prize drawn randomly for anyone who says the words "not an entry".
You may comment on the thread but if you really don't want to enter you must not say "not an entry". Commenting is not implicit of entry.

cheers.

will you tell us more
of the fish hat you wore
whilst you lay on that hospital bed?
It's a cur'ious design
and soon brings to mind
a carp that's engulfing your head
 
Ahem. . . . .
In Oz there lives a fine Bloke!:thumbup:
A knife guy, 'til part of him broke!:eek:
They poked at his skin:grumpy:
'til the meds they went in,:o
And now all he needs is a joke!!:D

An entry! Hey, Meaks, can we enter more than once?:confused:

My new love from Great Eastern PA
Rides happy in my pocket every day
Though the cost wasn't high
Hid the bill from her eye
Less my wife ship me off to PA

This was fun. Big thanks!

Thats excellent and yes enter as many times as you want.Careful though its addictive.
 
Addictive indeed!:eek: I keep thinking of more. What is it about these "ditties"??:confused:
O.K. here's another: with illustration!
ToothpickAGRussell_zps34ba7ea5.jpg


That knife's a Powderhorn, you say?
I'd call it a toothpick all day!
The name of a knife
can often cause strife,
But, as long as it CUTS it's O.K!
 
In spirit not literary elegance,I've been there she needs you too.You'll never find a better friend than a good wife.

That's the thing about a good wife,
She's in terrible fear for your life,
Don't let her stay there,
Bring back everyday fare,
Just order a pricey knife.
 
Ha ha!
Indeed our marital partners are part of our knife collecting.
In egalitarian spirit, I could not find the right rhyme for father, so here goes the other:

My dear, I am not your mother!:rolleyes:
But, do you indeed need another??:confused:
You look at the 'Bay
And there goes your pay;
And if that "pile" falls you will smother!!:eek:
 
not an entry, but I wanted to play ;)


The Time has come to begin
A knife, a knife to win
Me thinks of a rhyme
That will win in time
But I’m stuck without a line to end :(​


Very nice of you to do this and hope you are back on your feet soon!

So his wife told him "Not one more knife !"
"Just one more and I guarantee strife!"
So he bought him four more
And he showed her the door.
Now he has no more strife in his life.

MEAKO.. An excellent idea for a giveaway mate!!... NOT AN ENTRY thank you, as it would be fundamentally wrong for a Kiwi bloke to sport anything with the OZZY colours (A torn and blood spattered Wallabies jersey would be a different matter though??)..So I humbly submit ......

I know a bloke from Mt KEIRA,
Who fell off his bike like a SHEILA?
With not so much mirth,his girth hit the earth,so maybe he should ride a 4 wheeler???
As he lays on his bed,with a fish on his head,he ponders the yin yang of life,
And so from his large hoard,its a knife from abroad that surely he hid from his wife!!
A mighty fine Schrade that's clearly well made,is the prize for the one most witty,
So thank you good mate for a slice from your plate,
And reading this old bushmans ditty... FES
 
Here is my sad attempt...I am now speaking in rhyme much to my roommate's dismay ;)

There once was a man from Australia
He wore a fish hat like regalia
When ill-health slowed down life
He opted to give a knife
And should I win I’ll use it to skin animalia

Hope you're feeling better! and thanks for the GAW!
