Several months ago, I posted a wanted, inexpensive, quality folders, in good/used/slightly dinged condition that I could give out to my fellow volunteer firefighters, specifically the young new guys just coming on the department, as a reward for a 'job well done'. A lot of you have responded, including most recently, Matt.
Thanks Matt, and you other guys too. Most of these guys don't have the coin for even a $20 knife, much less one valued at a little more - so, it gives me great pleasure to not only gift them something at my (or your) expense, but also to tell them about Bladeforums.com, and get them interested in knives like we are too.
Their eyes brighten, smiles abound, and I make sure they understand it's not only a reward for busting their ass at a dirty, unpaid job, but also that 'paying it forward' to others down the road should be their mind. So, thanks again Matt, these two will go to good homes. :thumbup:
