WINNERS CHOSEN! 5 DAY GIVEAWAY!!! User Challenge!

Life just keeps on getting better! When I got home from the hospital, guess what I found in my mailbox?!?
1 very sharp sodbuster that I cut my hospital wristband off with! A pretty good start for my new knife I'd say. 😁 Thanks again for a great GAW, and all the well wishes. The wonderful people here on the Porch are what keeps me coming back to our cozy little corner of the internet. I will use this bad boy proudly! I feel like a million bucks today. 😁

Man, what a great time. Enjoy every moment. They're only little like this once, and it feels like fifteen minutes later, they're grown and moving out. I miss those days. Now I'm a grandpa, which is awesome.
 
Received this stunner yesterday evening but felt it deserved a proper photo. My first #15 and a dandy at that! 😁 Thanks again, JonMcD JonMcD . 👊🏻 You da man!

Wow Chris - that is a proper photo! You have come a long way in a few months 😂😂😂. Your first photos looked like we had done a time warp to my Grandma’s trailer in 1983 with one of those cameras that has the disposable flash bulbs 🤣.

Couldn’t have gone to a better dude - it’s in great hands now. Enjoy my friend! Merry Christmas!

I got a notification that my Viper was delivered today 👍😎

We are visiting family for Christmas in London Ontario so it will be waiting for me upon our return 😊

I went to see the chickadees in this area and was quite surprised at how different they look around here 😀

One of my biggest take aways from all This,is my astonishment that the owners of so many excellent traditional slipjoints are in possession of such a modern contraption as the smartphone, I thought it was a forgone conclusion that traditional slipjoints and flip phones went together like Thanksgiving and turkey. But man was I wrong lol.
Us real old hardcore oldys Use morse code and semaphore,whats a smart phone? 🤣
 
As I was leaving home this morning, with a full day of errands ahead of me, the USPS lady came early and guess what? Yep, my Craftsman came with the mail; I opened it, put it in my pocket and headed out. Jon, thanks again for a terrific GAW and for this Craftsman pocketknife. It is just the way I love them, vintage but used just enough to not have to worry about preserving it for a future museum, and with 98% of its life still ahead of it. Great knife, got home at 5:00 pm so in the gloaming and the light is bad, but I’ll get a better picture tomorrow. This Craftsman also fits well with my equally old Craftsman tools (all 40 to 50 years old). OH


Congratulations,young man.


Craftsman is a rank and trade in the British Armys REME ( Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) my corp, I think I will have to get one myself one day.



 
Logistics are so messed up. I ordered a flashlight on the 16th, and it's been all over Virginia, then to San Francisco, then Sacramento. We live an hour north of Sacramento, so of course they sent it south to Lodi (yes, like the CCR song). Now it says "In transit to next facility", which will probably be in Idaho or Georgia. 😒
I'm trying hard not to think about that 86, so it'll surprise me when it comes.
