 :iagree: And the thing with different names and methods is very true. The knot I usually use for fobs on my SAKs is often called the diamond knot, but the Ashley Book of Knots refers to it as the lanyard knot.

I have the box.   :mail:  I will sort through it later this evening.  I have not yet heard from tuisto so he may have changed his mind.  I think he should have a few days to get me his address and if he doesn't I'll have to go ahead and send the box to lazar.  Meanwhile, anyone else wanting to receive the box go ahead and copy the list and add you name. :cheers:

I've made you all wait long enough.  Here are the surprises I selected from the Surprise box.  First out of the box was a couple of kerchiefs courtesy of Farmer X.  I know he sent them because he left a note with them.  Second is a CRKT version of the AG Russel Sting boot knife.  I've actually wanted a Sting since I saw the originals around 1980 and never got around to getting one because it was such a low priority.  Third item was a 2 bladed Jack knife by Imperial.  I'm going to enjoy this in next months Dean 51 memorial challenge.  Fourth is a Klein electrician.  I'm not an electrician but for some reason I find these knives especially interesting.  Don't ask me why. I can't explain it.  Fifth item is a Kershaw flipper that came in a leather slip which I also kept.  It's not a high end Kershaw, but it felt good in my hand and I would compare it favorably to the same sized CRKT M-16 that I've had for several years now.  The sixth and last item out of the surprise box was a utility knife similar to the Gerber EAB. I have already used this to open a box of cat liter.  If you haven't tried one of these exchange a blade utility knives that use the common utility razor blades I recommend them.  You'll be amazed at how many of your daily cutting chores can be performed well with a sharp utility cutter so you don't have to dull up or mar your good knives.  :cheers: 

I've been reminded that tuisto hasn't posted since June 3rd and said he was going to be traveling to California.  Pretty sure they've got the internet in California but tuisto may be out of touch by choice, so I think we'd better skip him and get the box to lazar.   Lazar, please PM me your name and address.  The box has been refilled and sealed, and is ready to go.

I came so close to keeping that Imperial. Glad to see it and the bandanas went to a good home! :cheers: And I am giving some thought to starting a utility knife challenge...

Last time I got the box I picked out a few 91mm SAK parts.  Today I just published a YouTube video and a short on a mod I made with some of those parts.

Here's a pic and links to the videos below the pic!

Picked a couple items out of the box last night.  I'll get some pics posted tonight!

tuisto is next up,  but hasn't been active since June 3rd.  When was he supposed to be back?

   Might need to call down to the bullpen and see if they can start someone else warming up.
    This is an excellent opportunity for a good steady member to step in. You could be carrying a nice big box of freebies home in a week or so. Best wishes. G

Took a while to go through everything, but ended up picking out the ESEE Zancudo, this thing has a super smooth action with no play in the the blade.  Also picked out a Schrade leather pouch, the Victorinox Swiss Tool fits perfectly in it and also snagged a couple 91mm scissor springs!  Thanks to all who donated!  Added some stuff and box is packed and ready to go!

Great selection lazar.  Can't wait to see what you do with those scissor springs.

I might be convinced to sign up for the box again, once another person or two has their go.   :cheers:

That pretty Zancudo has made some visits already. In the box. Out of the box. In the box again. Now chosen once more. Best wishes. G

     The Break Room doesn't get much traffic. Friend Aztec left a link on his posts to try and shake down something. I don't have an answer.
      If someone posts a giveaway there are usually several who will attempt to be the one out of many to win one thing. The Sos box guarantees you get a big box full of stuff. A sure thing. Take what you want. Send it on. Nobody new plays.
      Best wishes. G
