Mike,
Usually all the well-deserved compliments go to you. I have a slightly different "Thank You Story". I called on Tuesday morning, looking for a ZDP 189-laminated Calypso. I spoke with Mary Beth. I told her what I was looking for, and she commented that she thought they were all gone.
I work in a lab, and had an experiment going. I explained that to her, and asked if she found one to please set it aside for me. I hung up and changed the necessary conditions on my experiment. I called again and asked for Mary Beth. She took the call, and told me she came across the last one! I told her I wanted it and proceeded with the order. I ordered the knife on Monday, November 7th, and the USPS tried to deliver it on Wednesday, November 9th. I was at work and due to the Insurance signature required, I couldn't pick it up until this afternoon, the 10th of November.
Not only did Mary Beth procure for me the last knife available, but she got it in the morning Postal Pick-up. I just felt that she deserved some sort of recognition for all her efforts.
Thank You MARY BETH!!!!

On another subject, the Calypso Jr. with the ZDP 189 laminated blade, I'm really glad the Sal & Company decided to give this blade material a chance. I've only had it for a few hours, but I can assure you that it cuts every bit as well as my $400+ William & Henry knife with a laminated ZDP 189 Blade!!! Keep up the great work - it is appreciated.
