Sometimes I get a chance to really take a look at my life and I realize just how blessed I really am.
I got a chance to head to a gun show here in PA, I had been wanting to attend for some time, mainly because I knew Bob Andrews would be there. He is a dealer for one of my favorite companies, Great Easter Cutlery. The show was a lot bigger than I expected, lots of great knives and outdoor gear to look at. Bob Andrews had a huge selection of knives to look at and I enjoyed spending a good amount of time there at his table. Another awesome thing about the show was the opportunity to meet Ash, (AKA, Knife Crazied) she was helping Bob with his business and she was doing a great Job. He was lucky to have her with him and we are lucky to have her here as a member. Thanks for for the great time guys. :thumbup:
Another blessing was the willingness of my family to attend the show. They tend to go along with my crazy addiction and they again, proved that love knows no bounds. We walked through the whole show and spent a good amount of time looking at the many knives, along with the firearms and other equipment.
I hadn't planned on a knife following me home, but you know how that goes.
I fell in love with a number #85 Bullet End Jack. After being tortured by the beautiful forum knife and the awesome #85 that Kevin uses, I found an #85 to call my own. It's slick, placid buffalo scales spoke to me in a way that I couldn't shake, unfortunately it looks like someone may have dropped it after checking it out, it has a little crack. I mentioned that to Bob and he checked it out, at the time it was a deal beaker for me. Bob said it would make him a fine EDC and I couldn't have agreed more. As I was checking out the other knives Bob made me an offer, I couldn't resist it and instead of being in his pocket, it's in mine. Thanks so much Bob. :thumbup:
(I'll work on pics guys, I know you'll love seeing it)!!!
Too many great knives and not enough money, I wanted to bring a few in particular home, but the wallet didn't permit.
My Birthday is a long way off, but that didn't stop my brother from celebrating early and getting me an awesome present. He told me I could have any knife I wanted, I know, awesome brother. I walked from one end of the displays to the other and I couldn't make up my mind. Finally I decided to let my brother choose the one for me. I walked away and checked out the Blind Horse knives while my brother made his choice. He loves big knives, anything over 4'' and he is into it. Every knife he has gifted me has been bigger than the knives I buy myself, it's given me an awesome opportunity to test out the different models though. He picked a knife that spoke to me and I am blessed beyond belief my it.
A Stag #23.
The stag is night and day, but thats something I love about it. I have been wanting a clip bladed #23 for a long time and finally I have one to test and enjoy.
Bob Andrews threw in the Lanyard and I love it. It's been on the knife since I got it and in my pocket just as long.
Thanks again guys, I had a great time.
