2-for-Tuesday: Remington Skeleton Drop Point Knives

  • Two ~5" folding knives with skeleton-style handles (how spoooOOoOky)
  • “Drop point blade” sounds like the last thing you want to do with a knife, but it actually means the point is in the center of the blade (for maximum knifing)
  • Includes pocket clip and lanyard hole, for latchknife kids
  • Model: R11505 (Short and free of hyphens, but gets clogged up with other search results including this shirt for Napoleon wannabes)

Guess The Connection (Take A Stab)

We’re selling knives on March 7th. Pretty clever, huh?

Don’t get the connection? Well, maybe you’re getting too hung up on the details of this deal, like that these knives have a “skeleton” style handle or or “drop-point” blade. Don’t worry about all that. It’s really simple: Knives. March 7th.

Still not putting it together? Well here’s a hint. These are Remington knives… What other kind of blade starts with “R” … ?

All right, geez, we’ll give it away. As (we thought) everybody knew, March 7th, 1944 was the birthday of singer songwriter Townes Van Zandt. So there you go. Figuring out the connection is a layup from there.

Still nada? What ever happened to encyclopedic knowledge of obscure country music lyricists? Van Zandt, of course, performed on the live album Together at the Bluebird Cafe with several others, including fellow acclaimed sad-sack songwriter Guy Clark who performed … Randall Knife.

So, March 7th is the birthday of a guy who sang on an album with another guy who sang about knives. Pretttty clever, if we do say so ourselves.

Which is all to say, you should buy these … [clears throat] … uhh … knives…

No, we’re not crying, something went down the wrong pipe is all. It’s just … it’s just a sad song, you know? Oh god …
