What did we get for Christmas?

[Grant Lamontagne]

I got a sweater, pyjamas and a wood burning kit.

Hopefully I won't burn the house down!

My step daughter got me a flashlight. I was really pleased with her doing that, she was the only one that got me a toy.
A 320 Lumen rechargable flashlight of a brand I did not know yet. It looks very nice, and is quite bright. It will be my go to flashlight from now on.

Merry xmas all!

Would love to see a review of that light.  Looks pretty cool.  Good score!

I got Alexa 

[MadPlumbarian]

I wanted to show you something we got for the little guy cause I thought some people on here might find it interesting, I'm guessing the original inventors are Matthew and Mark McLachlan of what's called the fidget cube, idk, we found an imitation there's just so many diff yet of the same thing, but if it works for him then we'll see about getting the real thing. But how many of you have to keep doing something, like clicking a pen, or pulling back the clip on one? The little guy is one who does so, I'll admit I also have to keep at something the wife's kinda the same, idk if it would work for either of us but it's something to look into if you have to keep puttsing with something..
   Of course I had to find his black/red color combo, and I must say he's liking it, his fav part is the clicker that rocks side to side, he's on his Xmas break so I said he could get used to it and kinda break it in, but it's mostly for school, since he is homeschooled with a unique online setup. Here's a pic of it

At least you'd have something warm to wear if you did.

That's very neat.  How loud is the clicking?  It's the sort of thing my daughter would get a lot of use out of but I wouldn't want it to be distracting in her class.

[Grant Lamontagne]

I got one of those for Megan.  So far she loves it.

I am strongly tempted to go back and get one for myself too!

It's somewhat less relaxing when the fire is the curtains....

Here's what I found under the Christmas tree  .  (pics were taken inside with my smartphone, so the quality of the pics is not what it should be ...)





Two Terävä Jääkäripuukko 110's, one with leather sheath and one without sheath.  I'll start another topic about these knives in which I'll post future (and better) pics  .

[Kev D]

Late prezzies off my sister, 91mm plus scales in blue and black, ez click grinding discs and guard for my dremel 

[Grant Lamontagne]

Looks like you guys all made out pretty great!  Those two Pukkos look like great little knives!

And you can't argue with new SAK scales!  What are you going to put them on?

The blue ones will be going on my swisschamp once I get a small vice to press them on with.

I'm under orders not to buy anything until my older sister visits on Jan 7th. So I'm guessing she's bought me the Dremel one that I gave strong hints about.

Just scored a used skeletool CX and an Executive with some Xmas $. I got a steal of a deal, $30 for both with free shipping

You don't need a vice to press them on.  You can do it easily by hand.

Great looking knives, Top Gear.

Nothing special over here. Folks got me and the wife a gift card for Great Wolf Lodge, which is an indoor water park near Disneyland SoCal. Also got a travel mug from a secret Santa.

Thank you 

Excellent, I'll swap some scales soon then.

I just went in the other room to see, and it makes a kinda noisy click, but I also got a fake, Ive been looking around and found a corporation over on kickstarter, I would think anyone starting from there would be the real thing, and two of the clicks on it show that there silent. I mean the two wheels, that ball and of course that rubbing side make no noise. That's what this thing is made for, these people in the meetings who click their pens or kids in classes, any other questions don't hesitate..

I believe it is supposed to be silent so that you don't annoy everyone else in the room.

I hope they tell you something worthwhile.  Chances are they will use the old excuse about parts with different quality levels coming in at different prices and so on.

If they answer you at all.

I didn't email the place I bought it from but the place I think who is manufacturing the real thing, if so they won't be available till like feb-march. So maybe I can get some real answers, I mean who knows if even the kids going to like it, right now he loves it, but he's on vacation and the only thing that's making noise is the joystick on the game system! So till schools back in I won't know..

Talked to my wife (who has heard of the cube before) and apparently it is supposed to click loudly enough to hear.

[cody6268]

Smith's Sharpening System--to be used on blades in deplorable condition, with bad chips and such.

An inexpensive novelty knife, but was very special to my great-uncle when it was in his collection.



And about $150 cash--not sure what it will go on--most will likely get deposited.   Temped to buy a Crunch with part of it. Too bad the only two $30 ones I saw went quick, and before I had this windfall.

[Grant Lamontagne]

Sounds like a pretty good haul to me!  Santa must like you!

Well yeah, it's got to make enough noise for you to hear or else it's not going to satisfy you, but then again it can't be so loud to piss everyone else off?
  I've been snooping around and the true makers of the real thing is Antsy Labs (Matthew and Mark McLachlan) their product is still in pre-order, and they even have something that goes around it and turns it into a keychain. Yet you can look up a protector case and there nice, just all fake. Here's a pic of their unique attachment,
