Guys…. I think I just simultaneously dodged a bullet AND put a target on my back, all at the same time!! 
I showed the better half my grab bag. First, the Mega Warden. She wasn’t very impressed with it, commenting it looks like my other knife (CS-R3). 
She’s not one of us (Gooble Gobble!), so I let that slide. Next up, the A2 Gemini M. She immediately started gushing over it. How pretty it is, she loves the finish, it’s her favorite colors, etc. She usually comments how big and heavy Busse knives are, but not this time. This time is the first time she has in any fashion “claimed” one of my Busse blades. It could have been a very sad moment, but I got lucky! I’m delighted she finally desires a Busse, that I have it, and that it’s one of my favorites. I’ve got a TGULB, so I’m covered. I quietly put it back in the box, and pulled out the Proto. As soon as it came out of the cardboard sheath, she scoffed with disgust. I was a little shocked by this response, but hey, different strokes for different folks. After a second or two, I began to hand it to her. As she held it, she said, “That… is so, beautiful.” 
I immediately realized that her scoff of disgust was directed towards the situation, and not the Shipyard Proto. She had just burned her first ever implied claiming of one of my knives, and mere seconds later, she was staring at her new favorite knife. 
She also really liked the Custom Shop Ratweiler, but it was obvious she was smitten. Before she walked away, I pulled the Gemini M back out. “It’s so pretty” she said. I asked what color sheath I should get for it. “Green. No, that probably won’t match.” There was the barely the slightest hint of sadness in voice as she said, “Black.” 
And I thought I had to worry about all you hogs raiding my pm’s….
