So I went to Kittery, ME to the Kittery Trading Post with my girlfriend. We started looking around and quickly found the knife section. I was loving the fact that they had a on of different brands. Unfortunately their Spydie selection was disappointing to me. I started looking at other knives in there. There was WAY too many serrated blades. I'm not one to really like SE, I prefer PE for just about everything. Well I ended up liking the Benchmade 940, after about 20 minutes of mulling it over in my head I decided against it. I just couldn't justify spending $160 for a blade that I only liked. I ended up looking at the Kershaw selection and the Zing in orange started to grow on me.

As I was asking the clerk to take it out of the case for me my girlfriend asked: "If I were to get the pink Native over there would you leave me alone about not having a knife?"

I said "Yeah as long as you carried it with you." We're always busting on each other because of my knife habit. She says I don't need any more and I make fun of her every time I see her use one of mine saying if only she had a knife so she wouldn't ruin mine. (Yes just joking around)

Well we ended up walking out with a Kershaw Zing in orange (my first Kershaw) and a Spyderco Native in pink (her first knife).

The 940 is a great knife. Stick around here on the exchange and you'll be able to pick up a nib for $100 or less.

Good luck!

:thumbup:
 
Nice! I haven't stopped in to the KTP for years--will have to check out their knives next time I'm down that way.
 
I managed to get down to Kittery Trading Post earlier this summer. A real good Sportsman's store. Excellent gun and knife department and I have to say better than Cabelas in some respects.

Nice knives you got there.
 
There are knives in those pictures? Joking! Nice pick up. Its pretty cool when you can share a passion with your better half. My wife didn't get it until I slipped a Swiss Army Knife in her purse and a Leatherman in her glovebox. Congrats!
 
nice that you let her pick one out for herself and i'm sure she prides herself on it. sometimes you gotta do that. i'm sure she won't mind as much now.
