I got the package from @Mr Beardsley. I am a little overwhelmed. This was really over the top, and I fear this sets the bar too high. I will appreciate all this, but the one I sent and the one I got are all out of proportion. I am about to do a service and a pastoral call, so I will be incommunicado. I can give detail when I get home mid-afternoon.

Here are a couple of pictures.

I have the very same knife.

I like the knife. It is a good size. I have never had an Opinel knife.

Those thin opinel blades are wonderful for cutting tobacco

I was thinking this might be my plug knife.

This is my fave, cheap pocket knife. I never keep them very long, the most frequent loss is going through security when I forget to leave it at home or in the car. Sometime they will return it, but usually they say they have to throw it out... :x
