Today, I came home to find two boxes wrapped in Sesame St. birthday paper.
My wife said they just showed up on our doorstep and then valiantly fought to keep a straight face.
From Bayou LaFourche came a plain edge FRM Delica. It would need to ground flat for hours on a belt sander to be
reduced to scary sharp.
From SFO was an S30V Native (also plain edge FRM) and the 204UF ceramic rods and....
a Spyderco lapel pin and a Meerkat (the knife, that is)!
After having to ask how to unscrew my Clip-its (they weren't loosening until I put a coin in both ends and twisted per Mike from repair's suggestion), I called SFO. Christina said that the lapel pin and the Meerkat were compliments of Spyderco for being their customer.
Cool thing that the Meerkat had closing instructions. The knife flew out of my hand and landed near my wife's feet

on my first closing attempt. Pilot error.
My beautiful queen still has all of her toes and now I've got the Native clipped to my left pocket. Getting used to the integrated choil thingy will take some work.
I'm afraid to try touching these up on the 204UF stones because I don't want to be responsible for opening a hole in the space-time continuum.
Thank you, Spyderco!
