Me being the cheeky bugger that I am , I convinced/pestered Chako into a 'Gift Exchange' (otherwise known as a trade
).
I tempted Chako with an odd Spear & Jackson gardening MT with corkscrew. What I wanted was too trade for one of his odd black carbon fiber look coated LM's as the Ebay seller had seemed to stop doing them , he has since started selling them again
(not black though
)
WHAT I WANTED
BUT IT CAME IN THIS 
The worlds most padded Micra parcel
, hell NO
WOW
From the top ; some nice hand made leather goods , the misses has claimed the peice on the left for putting in her pony tail & a leather belt buckle.
Some small whistles very handy for bush walking/camping,some key chains & lanyard(always handy),Canadian Armed forces promo pen & wrist band
,
Canadian wildlife bookmarks with info on back
, key ring bottle opener(always handy
),Canadian Tire 'Cash'(bonus vouchers) actually look/feel like proper money
,Canadian nickel very odd felling coin, it is very light & the Canadian Tire promo coin feels more like a genuine coin than the real thing
. Very cool maple leaf coaster (that is going on the BBQ this summer
).
Finally the MT's not one coated LM's but 3
.
The thing I like most is the Vintage Canadian made kitchen MT it is a WONDERFUL oddity
.
I think I like the camo coated LM the best
The old MT is a Canadian Master Kitchen Tool & was used as a kitchen MT to be used for opening jam lids. Chako thinks the wirer cutters were for cutting wire that was used to hold lids on jars. I used the bottle opener to successfully open a Coke lid that was stuck fast on a bottle
.
Chako has been very generous in his support of fund-raising for MTO members & donating items for auctions , so I knew he was generous chap BUT I was not prepared for the mountain of stuff he sent me. A sincere thank you Dan
I hope to exchange gifts with you again mate so I can try & square the ledger mate
.
Mat.
