Got home tonight from spending the week away working and found a bulky jiffy bag on my desk placed there by "'er indoors" I knew what that plain brown wrapper was, looked at it, dumped my washing in the laundry bin, looked at the unopened parcel again, thought I really ought to wait till Christmas day, sat down for dinner, then halfway through my fish fingers I couldn't cope any longer with the whispering voices in my head, not to mention the cold sweats. Dropped my knife and fork (yes I use utensils
) and with trembling hands rushing to my desk and ripped open the package.
Picture a terrier with a slipper and you'll get the picture.
Inside I found the bubblewrapped long flat thing, it was something black and looked very much like a knife sheath, hey great I thought, a knife sheath, I hope it fits one of my knives, then I unwrapped the bubblewrap and found a wooden knife handle poking out the north end of it.
This is where an expletive was whispered between "You gotta be..." and "...kidding me!" So I slid the knife out of the snug hand made leather sheath and it looks gorgeous! Scandi style shape and about 10 inches long in total, 5 inches of that being blade.
Just overwhelmed right now for the sender's generosity. I'm guessing both the knife and sheath are hand made. Whatever.
THANK YOU!! :You_Rock_
I shall take some photos of it and post them soon, just as soon as I can get my adrenaline back down to a decent level.
Wonderful christmas present, glad I opened it now. Many MANY thanks to D Robson of Thurso, Scotland. Giving your real name was cunning as most here use nicknames, and I
really don't know who this is from, but you've made my December. :notworthy Thanks again. Made my gift pretty pathetic in comparison.
Mine got posted out last week, was told 4 days, I'm hoping the weather has delayed it and it wasn't stolen, wouldn't be the first time I had something go walkabout via postage.
Wishing you all a very happy nice surprise once your own secret Santa prezzie arrives.
Biker.
PS Yes my new knife is close by and is getting looked at regularly as I type this, can't believe it's mine. No you can't borrow it.
