Wonder what the odds are that there are other JKs gifted? I'm guessing very good;) I received a great one last year that I love and use a lot.
Merry Christmas

Yup, I got one just yesterday from a Santa living in Virginia.(or maybe he was just passing through);)

A straight back Kephart I believe it is.:confused:
A beauty I know it is.
Thanks Santa!
 
rssajs ~~~ you should have sent that ""Pure Maple Sugar Candy"" my way because it is pure sugar & not good for young-un's teeth ~~~~~~ next time someone sends you some of that -- think of poor ole me here in Tn.!!**** LOL
Very nice Christmas Gifts indeed.!^
 
box headed out today - should be arriving Monday.

to balance that out, I had a similar sized box waiting for me when i got home tonight - from "Santa" in Kentucky -- who could that be, now????

well worn Robeson small stockman, JK tin knife, Victorinox Camper with black (& green?) linen micata scales (nicely done!), hand sewn leather pouch, cleverly braided lanyard, and some handmade wood beads. (box elder, maybe?)
there's also a money clip/wallet that was in SWMBO's hands so it didn't get included in the pic.

Thanks muchly!
 
Well, being someone who lives in Kentucky I know a a bit about the Kentucky Claus. He tends to like sending JK rehandled Swiss army knives in black keys micarta and box elder burl beads, so I think you're probably right about that.

:) merry Christmas, young sir

Not a lot of those made.
 
Received a package from New Hampshire today. Not knowing who my "secret Santa" is and fearing for the life of whatever critter had been shoved into the box, I opened it. I was greeted by a note reminding me not to open till Christmas (unless I wanted to). The well packaged gift wasn't moving and fearing the worst, that I might have to perform mouth-to-mouth on a comatose weasel or explain to my kids why, instead of making dinner, I'm holding a dead hamster in a Santa hat, I cut through the tape and slowly unwrapped the "gift". To say I'm overwhelmed is an understatement. Instead of an oxygen deprived ferret I find a JK LRK! Unbelievable. Thank you Santa!

 
wow. those JK's are great fellas!

i was hoping i would actually get some time to take pics in the light today, but no such luck. so, forgive the crappy pics. here is my loot that i got from Santa rssajs.

thanks very much R. very thoughtful gifts. it's funny, i've been thinking about getting a "just-in-case straw". i also don't have an emergency blanket. i've used the husky cutter several times already. and, the saw's great too! good stuff, thanks.

could you tell me more about the knife? i didn't see a makers mark. did you make it? i really like the tip forward balance. she really wants to cut! the nice thin grind helps with that too.

That appears to be one of Jeff Whites knives I'm mot mistaken.
 
decided to break down and open mine, too many nice great gifts being posted here :)

Thanks Santa, it's like he knows me!

A Mora to be handled
Some wood blocks for scales
a Firesteel
Handmade spoon
a case stockman
and a very nice Marry CHristmas note
 
let me know if you want/need some birch bark to handle that blade with - I bet I have some laying around.
it's traditional, looks good, and best of all - is pretty simple to do.
 
Wow, some pretty niced stuff changing hands here!

I received a package last week from down south, Louisiana to be exact. Almost threw out my back carrying it, she weighed a ton. I honestly had no idea what it was, or what I had ordered. Turns out I didn't order it. It was my secret santa gift. Here's my booty!





Now, I understand these can be used for a number of things. I'm torn, as I can see a lot of great uses for it in my shop. I'm not sure I want the wife to see it, as she may claim it. The hot sauce, I know where that is going. I love it, thanks!

wow. that is fantastic! nice one (you too heefage).
 
Glenn,

There are a lot of things you can do with it. IF you use it as a cutting board be prepared for some sharpening after your done. :p You will dull the heck out of your knife in a hurry.
That board is a man-made stone made to resemble granite. Since its man-made is much harder and more dense than granite. It will never stain, is very hard to scratch and can withstand over 400* of heat.

I rounded the edges to make it easier to pick up. I wanted to stick some felt slider feet on the bottom side so it doesn't scratch your counter top up, but I forgot... Sorry. :o They can be had at Wal-Mart for a couple of bucks.

A couple of uses ive found for the stone: filleting fish, a hot plate (for baking dishes fresh out of the oven), or a table to tool leather on.
If you tool any leather on it, don't be afraid to really beat on it! I traded one to Ryan over at RGrizzle Leather and hes been using it for a few weeks now. He says its working great.

I didn't know if they sold Louisiana Hot Sauce beyond the Dixie Line so I figured I would give you a taste of the deep south. I put that stuff on just about anything I eat!

I hope you enjoy the hunk of stone and find a good use for it.

Merry Christmas!

Heath

(EDIT) Glenn, if your wife wants one of her own I can make another one. No Problem. I have a color that resembles White Carrera Marble that I think she would like.

Finally, your gift is in the mail. I know you aren't worried about it but I am. It went out this afternoon so I hope you will have it for Friday. I'm waiting until Christmas to open mine.

Merry Christmas!
 
Fishiker:
Just sent a package out that hopefully makes it to you before Christmas sir, let me know when you get it safe and sound. Sorry it took so long but I was waiting for an item to get shipped to me you can probably guess which one when you get it.
 
We will be so busy over the next three days I won't have time to give it a second thought. Hope everyone has a safe and Very Merry Christmas:)
