1 of 30!

#1

Post by Candyman »

I'll admit I at times use the word "Grail" rather loosely but.....I have finally acquired my "Holy Grail" of knives and to be perfectly honest I am freaking out! Freaking out might even be an understatement. The Dinosaur Bone Executive! For me it does not get any better than this and I wanted to share it with you all. I'm sure a few of you have seen this knife in the past. Thank you to a couple on here that helped point me in the right direction on my search. :)

I never knew this was a thing. That is a gorgeous knife! Going to carry at all or just one for the collection?

Thanks, can't say I've ever just stared at a knife on the table for a half hour straight until today, lol.

Nicely done....now, exactly how many organs did you have to trade for it?...I'm guessing at least one kidney. :D
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Thanks you guys, not any other available unfortunately, lol. I didn't have to give any organs. I'm just happy there is a "pay with your soul" option on PayPal now. :)
