eBay accident

Post by trevort »

So I checked out the website link Bimbo posted on his knife build thread and I may have been having some grape juice that night. When I saw the blanks were made in china I was inspired to check out the cheap Chinese knives on eBay. I went thru a knife phase a year or two ago and have a collection of cheap blades.

Ok . More grape juice. Bid is $1.35 so I type in $1.50 and don't go on ebay for three weeks. When I do I have an overdue payment to make including $12 for post! Couple of weeks later the package turns up marked camping cutlery..

I was immediately impressed as it shaved hair off my forearm right away. It came on our Easter camp and held its edge skinning a carcass and taking meet for dogs and yabbie nets.

I was horrified when I found my mate's girlfriend chopping the veg for the camp oven casserole. Hunting knife sharp edges and chopping boards are bad. No shaving after that and I was thinking well that's the end of that then but impressively, a few moments on the steel from Kerriet and it was shaving sharp again.

A new toy that will prove useful.

Happily Dave, Most people that know me know I'm a klutz. Kerrie may well be the best client service manager a financial planning practice ever had but she is a fully qualified chef and still has the knife roll including steel from her apprenticeship.

I can fark them or she can sharpen them!

yeah worst time for me was first time on Grays online. I woke up the next morning and near shit myself as I remembered bidding on 8 different auctions :roll: :roll:

Lucky I only won one and unfortunately it wasn't the french maid outfit I was hoping to see Kerriet in (well half out of really)

I never ever flew that helicopter either :lol:
