considering the members here, they could easily use this as an excuse for a meet up

MTO EU GAW box

OK, Antti, the box should be really close by. It took its time, but at least it found its way, thanks to the men in yellow (or blue/orange in Finland).

Let's keep this thread to post pictures of what we keep (not what you put in !). I changed the title as it was a question, and the box is now a reality. Hopefully with a long and interesting life.

Finally packet arrived today, i took sweet time to arrive here. It was hard to choose what to pick and i choosed awesome looking wristband for watch, velcro patch, Suspension Clip, Husky Box Cutter, Opinel N°09 and CRKT Guppie.

After i choosed items i added items approximitly same price to it. Now i need to get next person address which is Customod otherwise packet is ready to go.

I missed that this box had finally started its journey. You all have figured out the most efficient way to get the surprise box to everyone on the list and Antti picked out some great surprises already.  I'd just like to offer the advice to use lots of tape to prevent the box from bursting.  Best wishes to you all. :cheers:

If theyre not responding maybe we should move on to the next reciever of the box (me :whistle: ). Customod seem to be online almost every day when checking their stats so i find it really odd that they arent responding..  :dunno:

Hey awl!! It finally arrived and what a treat it was to open and go through the whole box. I could have picked quite a lot more but i really tried sticking with the things i know i will use. Besides the little snail bottle opener, that was too cute to leave in the box hehe

Opinel Oyster knife, i plan on putting a razor sharp edge on it since its blunt. I like smaller knives so i really liked the size on this one and i dont eat oysters so im gonna try and mod it.
CRKT Snailor, like i said, too cute to pass on.
Mini utility blade, reminded me of a small but chunky xacto blade so ill definitely find a use for it.
Victorinox Sportsman, a SAK i dont own. And what kind of knight would i be if i didnt pick it?
Tom and Jerry handkerchief, it put a smile on my face as soon as i saw it so i didnt even think twice on keeping it.

I awlso took the snacks, well, because snacks!!!


The box is now packed and ready with some new goodies for the next recipient. Ill send a DM to whoever is next in line  :salute:

 :cheers: :SAKnight: :2tu:

This new bald spot on my leg is proof that the oyster knife is now shaving sharp.

1st metal file to get the bevel.
2nd coarse stone
3rd fine stone
4th honing rod
5th leather strop

We will see how well it holds the edge tho since it wasnt really made to be a knife. On opinels website they say that its the same stainless steel as in their knives and graded at the same hardness so im guessing its gonna hold the edge the same way any other inox opinel does. Only time will tell.

Very excited that the Euro box is moving along.  JowiiYoyo, I think you made some interesting choices. Possibly with the exception of the sour lemon candies.  I'm not a fan of those. :cheers:
