Being known around work as the resident knife nut I often have co-workers ask me to sharpen their knives.I rarely accept anything for this service as it`s something I enjoy doing and it gives me an opportunity to preach the gospel of the blade.My goal is to have everyone in my building carrying a knife before I retire!
Anyway,last week,we got a new guy in our department.As is my custom the first thing I do is check for the telltale glint of a pocket clip or the bulge of a sheath under a t-shirt.Sure enough,he was carrying a Buck 110.I introduced myself and after a minute of small talk I asked about his knife.He hands me his 110 and I hand him my Military.His Buck is badly in need of sharpening so I offer to fix it up for him and he accepts.
A couple days later he was showing me one of the new gold colored Dollar coins(he`s a coin collecter)brand new,and un-circulated in a protective sleeve.As I started to hand it back to him he says,"It`s yours".I said,"Huh"? and he said it was a gift for sharpening his knife!Wow!!
I do`nt know if theres a moral to this story but I believe it shows that knife people are a cut above the rest.
