A little while back, I was fortunate to host Duncan and Sue, those NZ goodies, for a wonderful day of "getting to know you", while they were doing their North American Tour!
Of course I proudly showed Duncan some of the knives I've collected - unfortunately I didn't have him here long enough to show him all of them. He liked this Camillus Collection, but noticed a gap . . .hmmmm.:confused:

Upon returning from Titusville last week, I received a package from him, which included this wonderful gap-filler!:eek:

Much more than a place-marker, it is an exquisite Jack in wonderful condition! And it does indeed complete the picture!!

Thanks so much Duncan, for the very nice knife!!
And the knife has a history as well, once belonging to another stalwart of the porch!
I sit here and marvel at a full box of Camillus knives - what next???
:D

Beautiful knife, great act of generosity, fantastic Camillus collection Charlie :) Well done Duncan, nicely played :) :thumbup:
 
Well, I like your vacuum (knife) Jack!! Ha, ha!
Thanks!!
 
That knife is great, Charlie! I like that Streamline stamp. Good job, Duncan. :thumbup:
 
Not much unused space in that box! Only something streamline would fit. ;) That was a nice addition to the collection and a generous gift. :thumbup:

Charlie, the knife always finds the person it truly belongs to, that ABSOLUTELY happened in this case:)

Nice finishing touch! When I arrange my knife drawers I also leave spaces for future knives, and magically they seem to appear in my mailbox after looking at too many pictures on this forum...
 
Oh yea, I noticed that you're a star on Youtube now.., HA! I appreciate you sharing that with us..:thumbup:
 
Just when you think Duncan has nothing left to give he manages to pull something out of his pocket.:thumbup:
 
The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me. Well done Duncan!
 
Why thank you everyone, but you know- gifting someone who has not only gifted me PLENTY of knives over the years, but many many other people - is pretty darned easy - Im bad because when you look at a knife individually - well....its kind of hard to let that beautiful thing go - but when you see a knife as nice as that - that could be in with MANY other nice knives like that and look right at home-Bang decision made. :thumbup:

Visiting Charlie and Joanne was simply relaxingly cool :cool:, such lovely people, such neat friends.

Charlie kind Sir, you actually do too much for everyone, its about time someone did something for you - gifting a knife to you - doesnt seem to cut it :D....okay okay I did slip that pun in - but you know what I mean. Thank you for all that you have done for me, and do for me to this day my friend.
