I have been in constant correspondance with Progunner for the last couple of weeks. I never expected to receive my boloheart in the mail yesterday.
I cried, which doesn't often happen.
To whomever is responsible for my receiving this knife back, I thank you from the depths of my heart and soul. I never wanted to sell it, but hard times come to us all (my wife and I still really aren't out of them, but we make it work). Progunner offered to sell it back to me and I knew I could not afford to pay him what it was worth. I was just glad to know it was in good hands.
This was a very special knife to me as it accompanied me to Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia during my first WESTPAC deployment back in 2001. I was with the Maritime Special Operations Force (MSPF) for the 15th MEU(SOC) and, though we never had go to combat, we did quite a bit of training over that 6 months. The knife was a constant reminder of my father and wife (who both chipped in to buy it for me!). Those who have deployed in the military know what little "reminders" mean to those overseas...
Again, I thank those forumites responsible for this.
I never thought I would own this knife again.
It is truly a gift I will never forget.
My wife also thanks you as after I brought this knife up a couple of weeks ago and she lectured me on how I sold off the only "heirloom knife" I had ever owned (it travelled with me overseas and then cut our wedding cake).
If there is ever anything I can do for any of those folks responsible, please let me know.
Thanks again!

BTW, I can't stop holding this knife. My wife told me I'd have to put it away though because she refuses to sleep with both me and it...
I wish you and your wife great prosperity in the future.
