Its here!!!!

Nice ones.
That display is great too.
I like your lighting on the second picture. The way it highlights the edge and point looks great.

 

Crocodile Dundee would be proud. This is a knife!

Looks like a very fine example too. Truth be told I was squinting my eyes at the next shelve down when I sensed the aroma of a 1911. Makes a great display case, never could afford the sunglasses.

 

From what i can see it looks marvelous....but cannot see much as with an Android i can see the thumbnails of downloads but when i click on the photo, the slideshow viewer for the download shows not much larger and when i zoom, the object always goes off-center to off-stage....not mobile friendly at all, unfortunately....

I very much like the recycled display case....a great way to showcase things, in a showcase....which might be a great idea for displays where the case top can also be used for a daily living space flat top for other purposes as well....table or counter or shelf...."wow, i like visiting his house, it is like a candy shop or emporium!"

 

Glad your Bowie arrived. They are good working knives. Think Bawanna is the expert on those around here. At least the IBBBs. Like your display case. Very nice. Looks like you have room for a few more khuks!

 

I would say my ending up with prescription glasses was a major blow to the RayBan industry....bought transitions and just stuck them on my face except for sleep, and never looked back, as i tired of normal, and safety and sunglasses and etc and one or more always getting dropped, left, lost, dumped out of pocket, etc....

Is the bowie a typical 3/8ths-1/2" thick bruiser?....it is the kind of knife that suddenly becomes extremely popular when we go from a long stretch of peace to sudden wartime footing and guys start deploying and looking for the unbreakable limb/head lopper and pommel smasher....

 

Ever popular, especially in war....gee....i wonder why?.

.

 

I'm no expert at much of anything really. I think Steely Gunz is the original Bowie guru around these parts.

I still recall holding my first one, a great big one 15" or better and honestly wasn't that impressed. Then I held a 10"er and for some reason it was love.
Then when the IBBB's came around, it was a full blown love affair and like Ndog, I want to collect the whole set.

Now I got a Micro Minnie Cherokee Rose in my head. Thinner, shaped like the big brother, think it would be a good one.

 

Nothing you are doing wrong and most folk actually have internet at home, but i decided to be cheap and simply have a phone for what little use i have for the net....the only thing which gives fits are the proprietary sites such as this one where stuff stored on their site cannot be saved on other devices without apparently paying......i just stuff my photos on a freebee such as postimage dot org and let everyone have at it....

If the bowie had been available when i was younger and deploying, it is just what i would have wanted....pry, chop, hack, 55 gal drum and no bung starter is no problem....

I am normally called a wise something for sure....

 

Here's a little group shot of micro's. Mine is at the bottom, I put elk antler on it and carry it everyday. I did carry that 10"er mentioned earlier everyday until the micro came along.

The rest are other members here that I checkered or did something too.

Never managed to keep a spare, tried several times, been given a few as gifts and somebody always talks me out of em.
Guess a fella only really needs one but spares are nice too ya know?



Don't remember who this one belongs too.


Here's my last spare that an officer at work talked me out of. Checkered and blued that one.


Ooops, I was daydreaming again.


This was a fun one for Bluelander as I recall. Took a little head scratching to figure that center deal he wanted.


Is that enough or should I keep showing off?

 

I love those knives. So very cool. I missed a DOD recently and it hurt.
