Not too long ago I discovered a package by my front door....

Of course, I quickly snatched up the package, eagerly read the return address, and noted that it had just arrived from Wisconsin...it even had a faint, cheese-like aroma to it....
;)
Ahhhhhhhh, at last it was time to unveil the contents....
-
Come on, man. Don't tease us like that.
I'm awaiting a package from him, too.

Of course, there is more to this story. I worked a trade with Sticshooter for a new knife specifically for elk hunting AND one that would match a new bow that I had on order (a story for another time as this bow is the first new bow I have ordered since 1991.) that was to be all black in color.
Sticshooter said he had the right match - some ebony scales - to match with the bow that should be arriving shortly....
However, I was particularly delighted, when I opened the package because of what I discovered inside.....
-
So there "you" are! Mr. Green responded to me, when I specifically inquired, saying that this topic could reside in the POWWOW forum, but I see that others disagree.....
So be it!
Welcome to the HUNTING KNIVES AND CRAFTERS Forum!
:wavey:
What I discovered is that good things come in small packages....

So the surprise was that I had received not one knife, but a pair of knives from the Sticshooter!
What a BLESSING!
More to come...after work....

Hi Jacob - did you ever catch any fish on those trout flies I traded you? You shall see steel shortly....
Greetings MAP - the sword that I am named after has another spelling - BIBLE - but the sword that your wanting to gaze on is the one that I am saving to buy when I reach Yondan....
:~)
AND Frank! Thank you again for the trade, for the great work that you created, and for what I am about to reveal to all those that want to check it out!
God bless, David Camp

As a matter of fact, YES!! I am glad you reminded me of that trade, as I was just admiring the box a few days ago.
Nice Knives for sure, hope they serve you well!
