I've been trying to figure out a way to do this since early last week when
Modoc ED
reached out to me and asked for my shipping address as he had a small box with some knives in it he was looking to part with as he was thinning out his collection. Still don't know if this is the best way to publicly thank him or not, but off we go. The box arrived on Thursday afternoon, though I didn't a chance to open it late that night after I returned from watching my son's high school marching band play for the football game that was rescheduled from Friday. What I found when I opened the box was nothing short of amazing, and I've included pictures of what was inside to allow you to be the judge.
First up are three great A. Wright and son lambsfoot knives, a big Rosewood, regular Rosewood, and a slightly smaller than regular stag. All three are winners, great examples of the pattern and what it represents. In fact, the stag has been in my pocket since Friday morning. What Ed doesn't know is that these three nearly triple my flock...thanks Ed.
Next up is a Remington Lumberjack knife with cocobolo covers from 1997. This one is really special to me for a couple of reasons: it is only my second Remington knife, and that is also the year I joined the Navy.
Up next are a trio of Case knives, two full size sodbusters and a jigged bone Saddlehorn. These are true work knives and I can't wait to take them with me camping and fishing so I can put them to work.
Finally, a knife that really blew my mind when I saw it in the box. I had been searching for a jigged bone 88 Bayou Trapper for a while, and Ed reached out to me and offered it to me for a great deal. Unfortunately I didn't have the money at the time in order to be able to buy it from him. Needless to say I was blown away to find it in the box and am very thankful to add it to my collection.
Also included in the box were one of those evil knives that shall not be mentioned in this subforum, but was very generous nonetheless.
Finally, and more important than any of these amazing knives, was a personalized letter from Ed. I've long maintained that the knives are secondary to the friendships made on this forum, and continue to believe this. Thanks for the knives, Ed, but more importantly, thank you even more for your friendship.
