The "I'm a show-off" thread.

With all these edged instruments, here's a very old original translucent hard Arkansas sharpening stone in its original wood case (note that it instructs to use "Sperm or Lard Oil" with the stone):

Noob. Lol. Sperm oil from sperm whales. It was when they used to kill whales for the oil.

That is awesome!  Any idea when it was manufactured?

OK back on track 



My 3 Harley Davidson MTs , BUT the real 'special' aspect of these MTs is their sheaths 


The 2 larger MTs are made by SOG & the wee one was made by Seber.


Not one but 2  . The campest sheaths ever made  . Not sure how many outlaw bikes have these on their belts  . I think the smaller sheath is compensating by having longer tassels

Late 1800s, early 1900s.

Very nice Mat....  Great haul indeed.. 

[badwolf]

Those sheaths look very solid and well made I see ones a PPP is the other larger one a Powerlock version as can't see any lock bits or handle covers.

That Harley Seber is something special. I haven't seen one of those yet.

How do you about getting one ?

[dks]

There is a thread in the Swiss Army Knife forum section about it with all the links.
You can get it either directly from the writer or from Felinevet here.
Good book.

As far as I know, the only way to get it signed is to buy it from the author and ask him to sign it.

And though I do not think I am worthy of posting here, here are some of my more unusual Swiss Army Knives.

Here's my attempt at showing off.  Victorinox Executive with mammoth scales and tethered to an Atwood bronze Longslide bead.

[AimlessWanderer]

That's definitely show off material Mr W  I don't allow myself anything that nice  I'd have that pocket carried, used and terminally devalued in no time

Well, I've come to a place where some items are getting pocket carried and this is one of them.  To keep them in a nice box, to look at on occasion wouldn't do.  It's going in a pocket everyday I go to the hospital.

I want to be able to pull it out, hold it, and use it.  If it loses value to someone else because of that, well that's too bad.  It gains value to me.

Great to hear 

Some of my most valued items are those which show the most signs of use. First use can be a little daunting sometimes, but once you've got past that its smiles all the way  If I carry on at this rate, my standard Spirit might even develop some in hand traction

Hopefully I'll have a few things to add this weekend..  Bump btw... 

[Bruce909]

With the addition of a SAK I took it and a couple of other Damascus blades out for a picture:



Clockwise from upper left (like you guys need a description) 2010 Damascus Pioneer, Damascus Wave, Kershaw Damascus Shallot. 

More pictures of the SAK in the what do we have one the way.
