Hey guys,
let me tell you a little story.
Once upon a time, there was a little maethor who thought it would be fun to get into knives. He had been with the scouts for 10 years, always carrying a cheap 15 knife. It was a good knife, and he carried it well for many years... until one day he just broke it in half trying to pry a box open.
*gasp*
I know, horrible and all, but little maethor was always one who knew how to help himself, so he thought to himself "Since I'm not in the scouts anymore, I don't really need a knife that big" so he got a CRKT Minimalist. It wasn't long until he discovered that wharncliffe blades suck, and that he wanted a bigger knife. Still something under 12 cm blade length (due to the weapons laws in Germany) and of course a fixed blade (little maethor isn't allowed to carry one-hand opening locking folders in public), because he wanted to have a nice EDC knife. So he stumbled upon the ESEE Izula, read a few reviews, watched a few videos, you know the drill, but it simply didn't feel right. He wanted something slightly bigger.
Then suddenly - it was one of those "HEUREKA" moments - he discovered the BK14 or EsKabar. It was love at first sight. So he read a few threads, watched a few videos, and then just pulled the trigger on the damn thing
It all worked like a charm, the online shop where he had ordered the knife sent the shipment confirmation 30 minutes later and the next morning when little maethor got up he looked into the package tracking, everything looked good. He was very happy to receive his new Becker knife in a few hours...
Then suddenly *another gasp*
"The packaging has been damaged and your package will be sent back to the package center for repacking"
Little maethor tried to convince the nice people on the phone to just get the damn thing to his door ASAP (because, you know, he can get REALLY impatient, and he doesn't care how the package looks like), but they wouldn't listen to him.
That was sixteen hours ago. Since then, i have read everything in the BK&T forum that looked slightly interesting and watched almost all the 8th season of 24 to be able to remain seated and calm instead of jumping up and down, flailing my arms like a freshly decapitated chicken (they can get pretty crazy, as some of you might know) and screaming "I WANT MY KNIFE" all over the place.
Yeah, I think I have too much time on my hands.
So, I hope you liked my story
and have some kind words to keep me calm and maybe raise my anticipation bar a little bit further (if that is possible).
And yes, I am shooting to become the first german Beckerhead. I can haz #1337 plz?
That should be it for now. I have 2 1/2 episodes of 24 left, that will probably do the trick. As soon as the baby arrives, i will take her out to an old US Army proving ground (would that be correct for an area where soldiers train tactics and stuff?) and do stuff to both knife and wood. Promise.

so it sends out big containers of packages to smaller distributors, and one of them f*cked up my sweet little cardboard box.
