It is absolutely true. Yesterday, on my front porch appeared a Kit Carson Talonite (r) U2 dive knife! This is the same one I sent Mike many moons ago for testing. I was delighted to get it back!!
Mike said he did 'only some light cutting' with it, but it seems somehow changed from the way I remember it. The linen micarta handles don't seem to be quite as smooth or as striking looking as they were. Further, it seems (unlikely though this must sound) that there is some sort of deposit (dare I say corrosion?) on the impervious Talonite (r) blade.
Oh, well, it is probably just my imagination or my failing memory; I certainly will not let it affect the joy that I feel on this, my birthday. I am truly grateful for Mike for sending it back.
It is unfortunate, however, that he forgot to send me a couple of XXL Bladeforums t-shirts that I have asked for. The only one I have I use for a backdrop in taking knife pics, and it is somewhat stained with Tuf-Glide and other lubricants.
I would also have liked to see a review of the U2; it is for that reason that I sent Mike the knife. Perhaps he will find time in the near future to jot down his impressions of this wonderful knife.
It would also be nice for Mike to post a picture of him, Lori, and Jenna in their KNIFEGNUGEN t-shirts that I sent them. I know that he wears his, as he mentioned it on the forums a short while ago. Oh, well, I know he is busy. Perhaps someday.
Well, I just want to give Mike a big 'THANKS' for returning the knife, and will post a picture for all of you to admire.
