A nice suprise from Joyce and AET...

[glockman99]

This morning, much to my suprise, the mailman left a padded envelope for me in my mailbox. Inside of this envelope was a Spyderco "bug" pin, as well as an "ATR" pin (...An "ATR" pin?...Joyce, don't you know that I'm "into" the Police model?...), a nice steel/knife terms chart, and some Spyderco brochures. This all came about because Allen Treat (AET) emailed Joyce (@ Spyderco) to let her know that he had mailed a Spyderco pin to me that was torn out of the envelope prior to being delivered to me (I received an empty envelope with holes torn in it), and he asked if she could help to get a pin to me.

Joyce and Allen...I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I've been in kind of a "funk" lately, but this gift really helped to lift my sprits! It was totally "out of the blue", but very appreciated.

(...Now, if only that envelope would have included a PE Chinook II as a gift.....).

That's great news!

Actually, have considered trying an ATR? For everything that the Chinook II has proven itself to be for current owners and portends to be for the rest of us, the ATR is an amazing slicer.

Ok...I've been thinking...If there is anyone (USA only, please) who has a Spyderco ATR, and would like to have this (excellent) ATR pin that I received today, please email your mailing address to me, and I'll send it (you) as a mate for your "real" ATR.

thombrogan,

Yes, I've thought about the ATR (and it does look to be an excellent folder), but the Chinook II is the knife of my dreams, as there's just something about G-10 scales that really "does it" for me..

That something wouldn't happen to be steel-liners beneath the G-10 for a degree of heft and security and that pointy clip-point blade in S30V would it?

Yes, that and the fact that it's a "lefty-friendly" folder..
