Thanks, Jan!

Regardless of who owns that knife, I think that we can agree that it is just flat-out beautiful. An amazing group of different elements all come together to create a stunning end result. Santa, if you're listening...*nudge~nudge, wink~wink*

Ron, Not mine and not at the dealer yet either LOL

This knife, being part of the ships series is an SFO.  I can only assume it is at the same dealer that commissioned the other ships knives.  That would be Docs Knives

I knew I should not have looked at these knives. At Christmas time....this is not good. LOL!

Jan,

Is that YOUR knife? That knife is just flat-out fantastic! I love the Damascus pattern. And the fact that the wood scales came from the deck of a Tall Ship just make it that much more special. Just, wow!

Turn Your Radio On..............
Got It!!! I have been after one of these for over a year. The search & chase are good fun but the real enjoyment comes from finally having that elusive piece in your hand.
Where I grew up in rural New Zealand we didn’t get TV coverage until I was about to leave high school, so Radio was well entrenched from an early age as my go-to entertainment from listening to The Lone Ranger, Hopalong Cassidy ... Early Elvis & Beatles plus many others on a scratchy old AM Radio.
Scroll ahead a couple of years and I scored what was my dream job as an announcer/disc jockey at 4LM Mount Isa in Australia and I spent the next 30 years in broadcasting – mostly Radio here in Aussie. 
So you can see when I discovered Charlie Campagna’s Northfield SFO Radio Jack … I just had to have one. Plus coincidently, my Dad was ‘John’ but was always called “Jack”.

Then disappointment after disappointment…. on the odd occasion one came up for sale in the US it was “will ship to the USA only” (Why you folks think it is too hard to post outside the US I have no idea???)

Then I finally tracked one down, and yes the Guy was happy to post to Australia.
Did I pay 'overs' for it.... yep  .... do I care .... Nope!

Received a Tidioute #83 Purple Sage Jigged Bone Satin Drop Point (Triple P) today.  Couldn't be more pleased with a knife.
