Hello to everybody
the text you can see below this lines is an email I sent this morning to Bram and Thomas.
It is not a question or any similar for the forum, it is only a litle story of someone (I) that has lived his hobbie alone, only with his own, because in Spain don't exists the "steel love" we enjoy living it.
I wrote them:
"Let me explain you a litle story. As I have told you several times in the past, spanish people (and barcelona too) don't like the knifes, folders and any other things like this. For this, in Spain only are a few people that know the Spyderco mark, or the Benchmade folders, or the Emerson knifes, or....anything about the "steel world". This is a small world here...
Only exists one shop In barcelona specialized is sell Spyderco's, Bench's and others., This shop has this marks due to the owner likes the folders. Only exists this shop that survives selling low quality spanish tipical folders to the tourists.
I know the owner due to he is the unique man I know here that share with me the etell hobbie.
Today I have gone to the shop and I have carried the Gunting with me to show him.... just after see the folder he has showed me a Spyderco cathalog in wich the Gunting is photographied... He is the first person in spain I met that knows the Gunting!!!! After told him that my Gunting is the number 350 of the first production run and show him the business cards with the your dedicatory ("from Bram and Thomas"), he has offered me 60000 pts. for my Gunting!!!!! He toldmehe can sell this Gunting for over 80000 pts!!!.
I want to share it with you because to find here someone that appreciate the same things that us, is really very dificult. This aftenoon I have felt very proud to own a Gunting and to meet you.....you ("Bram and Thomas") are something like a "famous stars".... ;-)
Perhaps we live very far away, but we have a deep nexus between us, the Gunting....
Thaks for all.
Osvaldo.
PS; .... waiting for the CRIMPT, of course...."
