St. Nick's Knives


The Trappers



The Alabama Championship Case Knives have arrived and are selling fast. I will tell you up front that the pictures here do not do these collectible knives justice. First will be the Limited Edition White Bone Trapper.

 

Alabama Crimson Tide
 

DynAsty









 

As you can see, the snap casing of this Case Knife is incredible! I was very impressed with the strength and structure, it's nice to know that your Case collectible will be safe and sound no matter where you store it.

This Trapper has a beautiful shield that's included in the case, "BACK TO BACK."

.All of these Limited Edition Case Knives have pain staking detail in the badging and in the engravings on the blades.



These knives are numbered from 1- 200 : just so happen we have # 130 shown here.

As far as numbered collectibles, the Case Knives are most desired from the number 1 through 1000. Usually any number after 1000 is deemed for sentimental value only and will more than likely "NOT" go up in price.

 

St. Nick's knives has the first 200 of all these showcased collectibles. You will not be able to aquire these anywhere else, so get yours while they last, it will not be for long.

Highly decorated blades, end pieces, and handles.

                                                        Crimson Red Alabama Logo

                                                              Trapper number Two



BACK to BACK

National Champions

All of the new Limited Edition Case Knives are packaged for long term storage in mind, and also to be displayed.





A lot of thought went into the "presentation" of these collectibles. The casing, badging, down to the placement of the blade positioning inside the hard shell boxes. 



Remarkable detailing of logos and titles, these are engraved with great care. The people at the Case Company take pride in their workmanship,

Trapper number three

15-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Strong durable handles provide many years of service, no matter if you showcase your Case knife or use it for daily use.

 

Case Knives are the most collected pocket knife world wide, and not just in the United States.

There are many different designs to choose from, or you could collect the whole 2012 Alabama series

Trapper number four

BAMA... AGAIN!

Some people think that Bama is going to lose it's edge ( Auburn fans ), but I believe it has only just begun.

Popularity in the Case company is at an all time high, and with it's focus on college football memorabilia increasing, well the sky is the limit.



If your thinking about starting a Case collection you should start with this years series of Alabama Championship Case Knives.

The Elephant with you.

Super Heroes and Their Watches Part 3

 

This Hero needs no introduction. You can usually find him hanging around in a cave.

 

 

 

 

The thing about this guy is that he'll show up when he gets good and ready, not a minute before.

 

Now from time to time this Hero and his Butler get into heated discussions about which watches are the best, and as you might have guessed, the Butler is always right.

 

 

 

 

 

This is Batman's work watch, 

the BR stands for Bell&Ross,

not Batman's Rolex. It's stealth for sure.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Now on the other hand he does have a small watch collection,  so while resting at the mansion (from staying up all night) he wears this...

 

 

Gold is not his "norm", but he has to look the part of the millionaire jet setter, self centered Bruce Wayne.

 

If you're ever privileged enough to take a cruise in his "ride" you will see one of these custom made into the dash...

 

 

 

Now,  after all criminals have been locked away and His city is safe once again, it's public knowledge that he will go into early retirement.

 

Of course, the Mayor will give him a retirement watch, it will be a combo set. The Bat will put down the 46mm Bell for these...

 

 

 

 

Recently in an interview with his Surrogate Father, Butler, and THE BRAINS behind the operation, told us that -

 

 "It will be a bloody cold day in hell when Master Bruce will ever see these watches."

 

 There has to be perks for The Secret Keeping Butler.

 

 

 

Thanks

How to Create

We have all thought at one time or another,

"How do I unleash my imagination?"

This is something I stumbled upon and it is the

EPIC of imagination starters.

 

(1) THE ABSENCE OF DISTRACTIONS

You have no idea unless you already practice this, it's the power of peace. So first I will give you a example and then a practice you can do on your own.
 

SHARPEN THE MIND

(example/ practice)

Try this and you will be amazed. Turn on your TV (or telly) then adjust the volume at a specified level ( 4 or 5 ). Make sure the lights are on in the room ( the more lights the better ) then sit and listen. Can you hear the sound sufficiently? When you have your answer go and turn all the lights off then sit in the same chair you were in before. Did the volume magically get louder? Of course it didn't but your PERCEPTION of it will change. There are many different ways to alter and shape your imagination. Are you ready to move on to the Practice that will change the way you see things?

 

You will not believe your eyes

Now here is what's going to happen - you will be blind for a moment. I know what you"re thinking, "I don't want to be blind even for a second!" OK, just relax a minute. This is a practice so it is something can you learn by.

Here's how to do it, you go to a room that has the most light in it. A white room is best but do what you can, now get a large white poster board (or a blank white wall will do) now cut out a black circle for the wall, or draw a black circle about 4 inches in diameter. Make sure that you will not be interrupted during this exercise, your focus is very important. Sit about 5 feet away from the circle, now with your arms in your lap, being very still, stare at the black dot. First you will start to have tunnel vision, then slowly it will fade into the black dot, total darkness in a brightly lit room.


NOW YOU ARE BLIND, but if you move your eyes even a little your sight will come back immediately. Yes, just the same as a screen saver works. As soon as you move the mouse of your computer the screen comes back to life.

THE DARKROOM

THE DARKROOM

In the movie "Altered States" the character played by William Hurt went down into this "man made" salt tank. There was alot to this movie, but what I remembered was that he wanted to increase his ability to "alter" his mind.

This is a magnificent way to ALTER "your" imagination too.

(next exercise)

First, get to a quiet, peaceful room, (don't worry if you don't have a salt tank nearby). Find a place where you can sit comfortably,

WARNING

Don't do this while driving or operating heavy equipment.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

But seriously, don't do this while tired,

YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP!

I have used a rocking chair in the past, this is good for occupying the body, your mind is what you need for this, not your body.

Now that you have your "imagination tank" ready, go turn off the lights... or clap on, clap off if need be.

Once again, make sure there is "no light what-so-ever" in the room, this is to optimize your efforts.

One more thing before you start,

YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN

Now, intently think on something that has been perplexing you lately.

Within minutes you will have your:

...answer to the perplexing question.

...conclusion to a story.

...memory back from years before. (you may not want this)

...or in my case, excellent book ideas, watch designs, or

ANYTHING ELSE

Try it out...

Don't blame me if you have an "ALTERED STATES" moment.

 

Watch design in need of updating

THE EMBEDDED LUG DESIGN

If you are a designer and have sometime in the past made one of these for your company, I understand.

In my opinion, which may not mean anything to you, there are only two reasons to design a watch case in this manner.

The first is: You have a large case and need to save wrist space - to keep the watch wearable, and so it does not overwhelm the wearer's wrist. Understandable.

The second is: Just for style sake, which would have been fine the first time it was introduced. Now that, "For style sake," it's been done lets move on to where watch designers get back to working on case designs and not only on special movements.

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID TODAY

This is my very own quote, and it is:

"There are only three inexhaustible resources
Love...
Words...
and Your Imagination."

Realize that there is no design that is 
"impossible"   









 

Otta Horology Designs

First up will be one of my Horology creations that I call the

INFINITY 8

This is a 24 hour watch with a central second disk

and a bi-level dial.

All the designs I post will be located in the page location for quick views.

Super Heroes and Their Watches Part 2

 

 

 

Our next Hero up is the one with sticky fingers.

 

 

 

 

"The friendly neighborhood guy"

 

Now you won't be able to see it because of his suit, but

Spidey wears this watch while at work:

 

 

 

The Tissot T-Race

 

A close source said he has a wide variety of Swatch watches,

but it could not be verified.

 

 

 

 

Of course you have to ask his other half or it would not be fair.

 

Peter Parker is a realist, but he really knows his stuff too.

 

While he's not caught up in a web he dons one of these:

He's fond of the Olympics. 

 

 

 

Except if it's the weekend, then you would see him wear this one:

 

 "SHOCKING"

Isn't it?

Can you guess who will be next?

Wait and see. 



SUPER HEROES AND THEIR WATCHES

 

Have you ever wondered what type of watch your favorite

Super hero likes?

 

Well lets check in with them to find out.

 

 

Let's start off with the most famous Hero of all time!

 

 

 

 

Most people would believe that the man of steel would have no need for a watch but to tell the truth he's really into them.

    

SUPERMAN'S FAVORITE

THE C X SWISS 20,000FT WATCH

 

 

The "Man of Steel" was looking for something that could take hits from a shotgun and the occasional blast from dynamite,

what can I say? He's an educated customer.

 

Now Clark Kent on the other hand is a very no nonsense type of guy, so he sports this:

 

The Speed Master Day Date

 

 

Actually it's rumored that a close friend gave it to him for a going away present.

 

 

 

Next post we'll look at what another Super Hero is wearing these days.

 

 

Till then

 

 





REPLICAS FOR DESTRUCTION

 

You may have a fake watch if . . .

 

 

 

In this post I will show you a few fakes that would catch my eye right away.

 

Before I start I'll be the first to tell you, there are bad fakes and there are good fakes. Then there are fakes that have Frankenstein

DNA, what this means is that they have parts from "many" different "real" watches, but the parts (and or) serial numbers don't match up. Many watch companies deem these type as "fake" even though they have genuine parts. Even the Rolex company will tell you if you decide to have a aftermarket date magnifier added to your Sea Dweller "on the crystal" (outside of the watch) they will label it as FAKE, and they will not service it, NO JOKE!

 

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE

 

 

  

 

Most of the new Rolex fakes have a micro engraving over the

6. This marking is a very small "Rolex Crown", with having a fake and a real Rolex side by side you can see that in the fake the engraving is twice as large as the original.

Keep that in mind when someone wants to sell their Sub dirt cheap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fake markets are everywhere. Believe it or not, even in the USA.

 

 

 

 

 

So, we now have a question to answer...

...what to do with all those fake (and or) replica watches.

 

I'm glad you asked,

the usual way we have all seen is the

 

 STEAMROLLER!

 

The problem with this is that it is very yesterday.

 

 Now it is time for a new way to rid the Earth of these

"cheap imitations of another mans genius"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE REPLICAS FOR DESTRUCTION

ART PROJECT

 

Now you can get rid of that watch your Uncle Joe got you on one of his trips.

Put it to good use, send in your fake today to have it disassembled

and turned into a

 

REAL WORK OF ART

 

I am down about 575 watches to complete the sculpture I have named:

 

"THE WATCHMAKER"

Replicas for Destruction page at the top of the blog.
