They don't call him 'The Legend' for nothing!

all of us here, who have had any dealings with duncan campbellclanman, will know of his kindness and generosity. He is not known as 'the legend' for nothing! ;) :d i am one of those members lucky enough to have met duncan in person, and he really is a great bloke in every way, and someone whose friendship i treasure greatly :)

i received a surprise package from duncan today, which certainly put the icing on what has been a pretty good day :) inside was a lovely card featuring a tui bird, with a nice hand-written message from the legend himself :) of course, (inside an appropriate carrier-bag), there was also something else...in fact several somethings! :eek:




some of my lambsfoot-loving brethren and sistren may recognise this beautiful needham lambsfoot with the enigmatic 'us navy' stamping. It has puzzled and interested many of us, and led to a good deal of discussion. Thanks to duncan, i am now the proud owner of this special knife, and it is even more beautiful in hand than in the pictures - certainly many more times beautiful than these pictures, which were taken on my kitchen table this evening :o i hope to get some better ones soon, and am sure the knife will become a regular pocket companion :)

i am fascinated by anything unusual, so the ivory fruit knife, which duncan also included, is of considerable interest to me. Even the spring is of ivory! I find the wharncliffe frame and blade interesting in themselves too. Definitely a knife to ponder over, and to treasure :)


but what's this in the bottom of the bag? :confused: Surely not! :eek: One of charlie's hj-9s! :eek: :) duncan has done a lot of work on it, so that i could appreciate the super-pointy punch. Ouch, it's sharp! :eek: Duncan collects harness jacks, and charlie's sfos in general, so it's a particularly kind and thoughtful gift.

duncan even added a victorian english penny from 1901 :)

thank you duncan, for all your kindness, both to me, and to so many here on the porch, you really are a legend, and it's great to have you as a friend :) :thumbup:

Wishing everyone a very happy christmas and all the best for 2017 :thumbup:

wow gr8 gift - yes there are a couple or three 'legends' on this porch. You might even call them the three wise men - Merry Christmas to all.
 
Well done. Jack and the Dunkster.Both legends.
A few months ago Duncan was in Sydney for work.I suggested we may be able to meet up. The tyranny of time work routines and distance prevented us from that.
I think we were both disappointed by that because it would have been great to sit down solve all the worlds problems and ogle at some of my special trad knives.
From another perspective I think Duncan may have missed a golden oppopportunity to stick one on my chin for all my kiwi bagging comments over the years:p
May 2017 bring happiness and prosperity to us all.
