OK, so here's the photos I promised. All this stuff is surplus to me, and I'm willing to make trades:
First, we have fly fishing rods:

One of these is promised to Nighthiker, if he wants it.
Next up, we have an external frame pack:
This is old, but in good condition. It was purchased by my dad in the 1970s, and has been in storage for most of the last 20 years!
I understand some people are interested in knives?
On the left we have a Glock Field Knife. On the Right, a Winchester Hunting Knife (from Walmart, made in China).
Next Up:
On the left, an UnderWater Kinetics Blue Tang dive knife. Blade is 316SS, made in the USA. It comes apart so that the entire thing can be cleaned and lubed to prevent corrosion. In very good shape. On the right is a "Survival Knife" with a hollow handle which contains a small survival kit, and a compas on the pommel. The small plastic pouch on the sheath which holds a sharpening stone is kind of falling apart, but the blade is in good shape. Blade says 420 Stainless, Taiwan.
Below is a photo of the dive knife taken apart for cleaning, and the other knife opened to display the small survival kit:
Finally, the MREs that got this whole thing started:
So, LETS MAKE A DEAL. . . \
