..... and hits one out of the park! A week (give or take) before Maggie Valley, Tripod and I derailed a thread and started talking about knives. In that thread, I told him I was looking for a carry neck knife but I'd not found what I wanted yet. I preferred a one piece design (not even sure I told him, but he seemed to just know) and was still looking but not in a hurry. I got a message from him (Monday, I think) and he said I had a package coming to me, and that he had waited until after I returned from MV to send it. Since I got back from vacation, I've been working 10-11 hours a day (some vacation, huh?). We have our grandkids this week, while our son and his wife are in Jamaica enjoying some time together alone. My mornings start at 4:30 AM, and off work about 5 PM give or take. But there is softball and baseball leagues the grandkids are in, so it's 8 or later before I get home. Tonight was the night, got home nearly 8pm, and the package was here!
Neck knife, check. Additional knife, check. Opinion about them, check! I love them both! I would love to just save them as a special thing given to me by a close friend I've not met yet face to face. But.... I may split them up. Save the "Lockable one" as Tripod put it (looks like a key), and use the other. I'm funny about things, some need used even if gotten as a gift! My Granddaughter is 10, going on 18. She didn't even realize the one that looked like a key was a knife! I showed her, she was like, "wow, you could have that in your pocket on a keychain and no one would even see it". Yeah, I may have it on me as well....
The only thing else I can say, is Thank You, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart! This was above and beyond.... hoping I didn't damage the reputation he has tried to promote!
