Look what showed up in the mail today!!!
As a few of you may know, I needed to sell off a large number of my knives and take a hiatus from the forum a few months ago. To keep a long story short, we had to move and were/are expecting our second. On two teacher's salaries we needed to make sure we would be ok financially with maternity leave coming so up for sell they went.
Rockon75 bought a couple and said he would take care of them. I didn't think much of it other than he knew I didn't want to sell most of them.
When I returned to the forum he pmed me, "Are you back!?," and then, or later on, I can't remember when, asked for my mailing info. I honestly forgot all about it until today when I received a box from him.
Now, this guy is on vacation. He is enjoying his family, the alone time, and a change in scenery, and yet mails me a box while on vacation containing one of the knives he bought from me and a note.
The note, made from a paper food lion sack because paper was not at hand, made me jealous of where he is, but it also is another living testament to why this sub-forum, traditional knife addicts church, or better known as the porch, is what is, the best group of knife nuts and people out there.
Josh, thank you for the welcome back and my 81. I received this knife for my 34th birthday from my wife and it feels more than great to have it again. I immediately showed my wife and she is just as taken back as I am. She said, "Who buys a knife and gives it back!?" I just simply told her, "That is just the type of people that make up the forum and keep me coming back." Thanks again Josh for being one of those type of people.
