Also possible it’s just done for the attention / likes / clicks and it’s actually paper in there…

Possible, but unlikely.  Ed is a well known and respected knifemaker who has been supplying designs to Spyderco for years.  He doesn't really seem like the attention hound type.

Ah, fair enough.

Glad I don’t share a mailman with him then.

Took a bend like that and didn’t break. I’d say that’s pretty tough. :D

My first thought.  Just having a little fun.  What proof have we that the package still has the contents in it?

If it did happen, maybe this got caught up in the machinery.
