The McD clan has unboxed, sorted, gawked, and finally made selections from the famous Box-O-Knives! In this house, a box full of knives brings lots of “sweet!” , “awesome”, “this one is dope!”, “can I have the huge one!”, type language. There was even a “There’s a Clemson Tiger knife in there dad!” from Joseph.
We made our selections and I worked to reduce weight for the future recipients (reduced about 4 lbs from the box). Should be a good bit cheaper postage to the next stop.
Here’s what arrived.
Here’s what we chose.
Sam (8) picked the Condor chopper- predictable. Joseph (10) was all over the Clemson Tiger Peanut. Livie (7) loved the metal and wood knife. Marcie (10) picked the Remington trapper which surprised me. She said she loved the way the jigging feels. I picked the Buck stockman with hopes to try my hand at bleaching and dyeing bone. If I’m successful, I have a strawberry red Case trapper that needs to tone down the bright red. Mrs. McD chose the anchor knives and said she knew of a great home for the steak knives. Everyone is pumped.
Here is what I’m adding.
A Craftsman 9500 with its original box and stone. It’s unsharpened and in great shape.
A Craftsman 9575 Lockback
A 4 Dot Case 6235 1/2 Delrin
A late 90’s Winchester delrin medium stockman. I can’t remember when I got it. It has no tang stamps to identify it.
So, here is what is up for grabs for the next person.
later today I’ll add another post with rules and the up-to-date list of people that are still in the giveaway.
This was so much fun!
Chime in with an “I’m In” if you want to be added to the giveaway.
