Hi guys, haven't posted here in a while do to some health probelms and do to the fact that I have been spending a lot of my time and money on alox SAK collecting, but I've got something for ya'll today.
A good friend of mine who I met here on the Forums lives over in Singapore. Recently he took a vacation to visit family and to go and look after his ailing father in Sweden. While he was there he picked up the three knives pictured below and sent them to me as a gift for a couple of things I handled for him back here in the states. He did this without me knowing about it until he sent me an E-mail telling me to be looking for an international UPS package that had something inside for me.
I am telling you all of this because it was done by a guy whose hand I have never shook, and whose face I have never seen, and he went out and searched for these specific knives at numerous stores all while he was spending most of the rest of the day and night ny the bedside of his dying father. His father did pass away (may he rest in piece), and my new friend is now back home with his family.
I would like to take the time to thank you Jorgen for sending me this gift and I want you to know that it is very much appreciated, and you are one of the few "Good Guys" left out there. A toast to you my friend.....single malt of course!
Now, for the knives. If you like the ever utlitarian Mora, you would LOVE these knives. They are Hultafors knives of which I do not at this time know the exact model or what they are called. They measure 8 7/8" overall with a blade length of 3 5/8". The blade thickness at the spine measures .116". These are tough, well built heavy duty knives. There is no doubt that they would take much more abuse than my Moras.
