Greetings from down under, mate.
I have got this serious problem and I was hoping one of you fellow Suspects could help.
End my misery, you might say.

It all started when I decided to go tip down instead of tip up, and ended arse-up!
I had just removed the clip, and then the phone rang.
Some bloke who wants me to look at his shed’s door.
Wants it done now – like immediately, I ask you.
If he wants me to fix it – that smiko, sweet, you might say.
But look at it?
No money in that, mate.
Anyhow, had to leave in a hurry.
Slipped the trusty CQC7A into the pocket – without the clip.
Big mistake let me tell you.

While I am slaving my butt off to earn a crust,
a great travesty of a man’s privacy is committed – in my absence, like.
“She who must be obeyed” (that’s the wife, mate) decides to not just go into my shed.
And (this is the terrible part) “tidies” my workbench.
I ask you, mate – is this a travesty, or what.
Gross invasion of privacy – my inner sanctuary – tidied?
I have been unable to find anything since.
Needless to say, never saw clip nor screws again.
Sad case. Even turned the trash over.
Found a few bits and useful off cuts.
Put them back in the shed.
No clip. No screws. Severely cheesed off, you might say.

You blokes ever had this problem?
Sort of unnerving, don’t you think.
Well, here I am stuck in the outback of Australia.
Not a decent knife dealer on the continent.
What am I to do?
You may well ask.
Tell you what.
One of you Suspects send me your spare clip and 3 screws, and I will reward you.
Make your day, you might say.

You send me the gear I so urgently need and I will send you my Koala key-ring bottle-opener.
Got it at the Sydney Olympics.
NO, NO – not for athletics, mate – for downing a beer – while standing on my head – in the pub.

So if any of you blokes or sheilas can help, please contact me.
Any clip that fits a CQC7A + screws will do.
Especially one of them U BEAUT scull head ones would work a treat.
I could contact EMI, but all that rooting around to get a couple of dollars to them – hardly worth it, don’t you think.

Merry Christmas and all, mate.
 
I have this problem all the time. If the Wife touches it, you might as well save the time and lose whatever it is or throw it out yourself.

Women should never go into the place of tinkering and touch anything, even if rotten food particles and moldy coffee in cups lurk there.

I don't have no clip or screws for you. Just wanted to agree.

P.S. Australian Beer Commercials are better entertainment in a flash than most American Television. :D
 
I have a few Benchmade clips, but no Emerson clips. Will they help?....wolf
 
Wolfman:

The Benchmade clip is exactly the same size and has the same hole placement of the Emerson clips.

In fact several of my early Emerson Customs actually have a Benchamde clip on them.

I'd be happy to help this poor Aussie Bloke out if I had a extra clip or screws but unfortunately I don't.

Sorry to hear about your plight. I've had this discussion with Mrs. Raye many a time. She knows better than to touch any of my gear! As long as I do what she says, then we have a deal.

;)

I have one or two brand new regular clips (sorry no skulls) lying around that I aquired from Derek at EKI. Unfortunately I don't have any spare screws. If in the event no one else can help you out with an entire package, drop me an e-mail with your address and the clip is yours.

Merry Christmas!
 
Mate,

Use one of these folks Benchmade clips, they are the same. The screws are size 2-56.

I am pretty sure EKI would be willng to accomodate you, after all, it is Christmas and everything.
Email Derek- I am sure they have spare clips and screws laying around.
 
MAIL me!!!! i have a few NEW BM clips and screws!!! I HAVE NO IDEA how I got them (DUH):eek: :eek:
MERRY CHRISTMAS............wolf
 
Thank you all for the offers of help.
Seeing as how my ol’ mate wolfmann601 is so adamant,
I will take him up on his offer.

My renowned Koala key ring bottle opener will find a new home.
Somewhere near the Canadian border, I believe.

Wonder if it will ever be used?
What with Ira being a teetotaller, and all.
:rolleyes:
 
Just mail me your DAMN address!!!! and when we MEET, I shall get DRUNK!!!! I just hated DRINKING ALONE:eek: :eek: :( :D wolf....
Bi Envenue AH......or "side by each"
 
WELL WELL WELL......what can i say.....(where should i start)....

A women SHOULD be welcomed in the shed, we do everything BETTER than a man anyway!!! Maybe if u take your wife out there show her around made her feel comfortable and showed her where things belong, she she feels the need to tidy up she can do it the way you like it (i dont know why these women would even want to go in your sheds if u keep mould cups in there (Don) )......

I love being in the shed (Garage) making knives with Peter and just doing stuff. We have great fun in there spending time together. yeah i like to organize things so i can reach them etc.....but i didnt touch anything at first...LOL

But as i said us Women are better than men, not only do we get the job done right the first time, but we keep things in order!!!

Oupa.....if you say mate 1 more time im gonna.......i dont know what im gonna do, but it wont be good.....LOL
 
I am a politically incorrect old fart.
And I like myself that way.
:rolleyes: :D
