Well, if you want to score a Horde of New and Wonderful Knives, just live on the other side of a closed Border (Canada/USA), and figure out how to cross it after a few months!!
I finally got back to my P.O.Box, and filled a couple of cloth bags full of stuff!! Mail, advertisements, bills, Magazines and, Knives, both Purchased and Gifted!!:eek::D
Three Opinels, a Custom, a #23 Oregon Club knife, and an altered GEC!!;)

From the top;
Wee Opinel mrknife mrknife brought back from Paris, along with a nicely done "parts" knife from a GEC, from Jack also!! A "subtle" Ericson Sowbelly from a trade with
@Leslie Tomville , two more Opinels, and the #23 Oregon Club knife!!

Of course Charlie, Id be glad to, :D:D:D:). All my years of collecting, I have always been fond of knives with a single blade. Just one full size functional clip blade usually, or spear of late. There is just something about the simplicity and elegance of a single blade. Now it would be great if Bill would listen to me, as I have told him at every rendezvous, that single blade knives just sell well usually, but Bill has a better head for these things than I do. Now the eureka jack is a pattern that has often been recommended to me however I miss all of them through out the years. Mostly cause they either didnt have end caps, or it was just a model I didnt consider because of its asymmetric appearance. But low and behold, this run of 92s was quite abundant. I reckon if one was so inclined, they can still buy one. However they came with a tiny second blade. Hence the surgery! A surgery I recommend for most knives that come with a secondary blade. Now that its on its own, its a perfectly fun carving knife especially for some one like Charlie, whos quite handy. Also covid's been keeping a lot of folks in, so im sure downtime is plentiful. Hope you like your new carver!

Nice. I do like them, good score.
 
To Charlie and my Aussie friends, I know EXACTLY the feeling that lies within this Thread!

That's a nice Shipment Charlie, in my latest, I had 27 knives in one box turn up from my North Dakota Post Master Mr. Paul Hilborn.
In this was your Black Jack Charlie- Phenomenal Knife!

But also this guy here from our very good mate Barry- this one is a Corker as well I can tell you! Thank you Barry my friend, it was some time ago wasn't it! when these were ordered ( Paul got one as well ) - because of the holding of the box until amounts built up- and Covid restrictions coming into good Ol' New Zealand - here she is....

I have another two boxes coming in from Canada - so here's hoping- they have been awhile!
 
I still think you should dig a tunnel from one side of the border to another ;) save a lot of waiting time, plus the excitement factor :cool: Bit like one of those British 1950s war films, whose name I can't recall, about upper class RAF chaps digging a tunnel out of a POW camp :D
