Okay, here we go:
Peel back the somewhat battered corner of Ed's most excellently packed box, which somehow had gotten a little wet, to reveal the measures taken to make the shipment safe. Also unsqueezeable.
Really, this was a masterwork:
It opens like a treasure box to reveal, well,
treasure:
At this point I had No Idea what this might be. However, the size of the box was very promising-- something on the smaller side, which suits me well.
This was even more exciting--
-- Something small made with
wood, probably my favorite cover material.
Ta Da!
A pattern entirely new to me, sporting clean yet jaunty lines: A Gerber Silver Knight.
(Also featuring the shiniest blades I've yet seen, which wreaks bugaboo on photography attempts.)
(for Jack.
)
A very interesting silhouette with the small blade open:
My conclusion: Wow!
I was hoping the knife would somehow be different from those I already have, but boy howdy did I not know to even guess at something like this. I've never even seen pictures of this one before. A great surprise!
I love its size and angles, the wood (walnut?), how the blades fit into the handle, and how visually interesting it is both closed and with each of the blades open.
TLARbb, thanks so much!
