<p>Well Dead Left - it appears that a good time was had by all who chose to make the day special. I know I had fun. And I have to agree with your assessment of Denis - he is like the Santa of Nat'l Knife Day!</p>
<p>And I gotta tell ya...I rocked it with that paisley shirt...I mean it was cosmic man!</p>
<p>As for buying something new...well not yet. Unable to pull the trigger on the Polish <span>wz98NZ, but I'm still in negotiations for the French Mannlicher Berthier M1893, (I know...sounds…</span></p>

<p><span>I have had a lot of fun contributing to this particular thread. I always enjoy the banter between members, but everyone has been particularly fun and creative on this one....so I want to echo your comment and appreciation to Jan. You're right - we don't espouse our appreciation for this space often enough. Huzzah Jan! And THANK YOU!</span></p>
<p><span>Cheers Brother - and thanks for kicking this one off!</span></p>

<p>I bought three knives from a co-worker and received them Monday. All of them need(ed) a bit of TLC to some degree or another, so I have been working on getting them cleaned up a bit every evening since then.</p>

<p>The USN MK2 is all finished up. I threw a few pics up in the restoration group.</p>

<p>Jan, you definitely get to buy both on the day & before. And after -- I mean, there's knives you had on your gift list that you didn't buy/receive/otherwise obtain, so, standard holiday rules apply!!! :)</p>
<p>This especially applies to you, hosting & maintaining this forum for all of us... Just wanted to say thank you for that, and for making sure we have a forum that's not just civil, but actually friendly. We don't say it enough: THANK YOU! :)…</p>

<p>Lars, I'm all for that paisley shirt, man! And cargo slacks -- because pockets... Joy to the world, & all that!</p>
<p>That bayonet sounds incredibly interesting (not dissing the Polish Army Assault Knife, not at all!). I hope to see photos of whichever (or both), since I really don't know what either looks like.</p>
<p>I've been too busy today to do much window shopping, but I did do some. I'll probably wind down tonight doing more. You know me, living that dangerous life. (Well,…</p>

<p>DLKG - Cześć przyjacielu! Oh the anticipation is palatable. To think it's just hours away....I'm giddy with excitement!</p>
<p>OK - I got the outfit all picked out - Doing the black cargo slacks with the 70's psychedelic paisley shirt - sans tie. I'll look like the fourth missing member of Three Dog Night! It's mind blowing, I know - but then so is the day! :-D</p>

<p>Too much on the schedule to actually make sausage tomorrow - bummer. But....I have some killer kielbasa out for dinner with beer, so that will have to do. I will, however, make time for the knives - no doubt.</p>
<p>There is a sweet <span>French Mannlicher Berthier M1893 bayonet with scabbard I am courting...she's a real looker...we'll see about her. Then there is this wz98NZ Polish Army Assault knife I have been chasing - the early 90's non-saw variation. Not sure if I can swing it yet, but we'll see. If nothing else, I'll have fun window shopping!</span></p>
<p><span>I wish you and Denis both - and all iKC'ers for that matter - a wonderful and joyous Knife Day! And may your knife purchase be worth the water and crackers you must eat until it is paid for. </span></p>

<p>Dennis, I'm with you about not waiting for the day to purchase (oh, what we would miss if we waited!). But I'm so glad you're out wishing family & friends Happy Knife Day -- we should all do more of that! :P<br/> <br/></p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
