An unexpected gift...

[TLARbb]

Do you guys remember the "Walk a mile in another's shoes" thread last summer? Well, I had sent a Bulldog canoe to Corey Bauhs to use for the "mile".

Well, it seems that Corey thought he had mailed the knife back to me, but hadn't. Last week I got a very apologetic email from him about it saying he would get it right out to me. He didn't really have to return it as I have more, but in any case, yesterday a padded envelope arrived in my mailbox. In it was my Bulldog canoe, but there was also a Henckels whitter in there with it. I can't believe the comraderie and generosity of the folks on this forum. Thank you very much Corey!!!

Here is a foto, not a particularly good one, of the two knives. It still boogles my mind how folks here are always "paying it forward".

Ed...you have paid it forward many times over. The whittler is a peach.

Nice!

That's it should be done amongst friends. Nice one.

Ed,
a few days ago I was thinking the same thing. It's not really a surprise anymore, still every day I find a reason to appreciate the generosity (in gifts and knowledge and advice) of the people here.
Nice whittler...but I'd rather stay with the Canoe myself
Thanks for sharing!

That's what makes this place so cool. (Good lookin' knives there, too.)

And Corey's a good guy - I've had business with him before. :thumbup:
