I got home today and did what I always do, I changed out of my work clothes and looked for food. As I headed to the fridge I heard my wife say, "You have a package on the table." I forgot all about food and my normal routine. As I made my way over to the table my curiosity grew. I thought, "Is it here?"
"Yes!" I said outloud. I grabbed the oddly heavy flat rate white box and grabbed my 81. The box opened, "Holy Crap!" as the title reads was my second reaction. The photo below is a close resemblance to my first.
Why the face?
Here was four tubes, laying in front of me, and all I knew about them was that they all were Charlie SFOs.
A while back I had sent Charlie a pm offering a trade. It was his birthday and I wanted to thank him for all he had done for my transition into traditional cutlery. The terms were simple, I only requested something he had done; to send me anything he thought was fair. My birthday was a few days after his so it was a win win for us both.
I would say 4 for 1 is beyond fair Charlie, but man was I shocked to open that box. I pulled each tube out like a 4 year old on Christmas who had only gotten coal for the last 5 years.
"Awesome... I don't own any of these!" I thought to my self. "A Radio Jack!" I said out loud. As I read the top of the tubes I was taken back and actually thought, "Santa is real," remembering Primble's mythological thread.
I spent at least 30 minutes just looking down at these beauties and couldn't help but feel gratitude. Each one of them I have wanted and had looked for, but never had the funds once found.
Charlie thank you for the amazing experience and beautiful knives. I have always wanted these and here they are. Your generosity is legendary.
