Thanks Jack Black!

[X12E]

Hey guys, it's Vanguard41xx's son Brandon.
A while ago, my father and Jack Black were talking about me and what I collect. My dad mentioned I was looking for a military rigging knife, as I've been looking for one forever and a day. Well, Jack Back was incredibly kind in sending me this knife along with a Russian cap pin. I can't believe how kind this man was towards my father and I! It definitely brightened my day up. Although it was a bit tough to sharpen, it currently has a pretty decent edge and will be a great companion. :thumbup::thumbup:

Sorry if the pictures are a bit dark. I didn't have time in the afternoon to take any.

Go Jack!
That hat-pin is sweet, and that knife looks pretty strong.
VERY generous. :thumbup:

Thanks for posting up pictures, Brandon. I especially like the shot of the knife in-hand.

I'm glad Jack's gifts arrived safely, and hit the spot. :thumbup:

(Great going once again, Jack!)

We is in for it now:

"But there is neither East nor West,
Nor border nor breed, nor birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, before God's great judgement seat,
Though they be brought together by the love of knives."

Okay, so a paraphrased it a bit. But the point is the same. Sort off.
