Taking a cue from Brian, I will briefly recount a few "items of note" that we've picked up since acquiring my first Spydie Moran last June-July:
- Frank Norman has used it to clean fish (pix on his website)
- Will Fennell has used one in the field on game (I believe a deer).
- Art Aplan, a LEO, carries his in uniform
- My Son packs his in a rear of the back carry under his BDUs when not in the field. When deployed or in field operations he carries his inverted on his chest.
- I carry mine at work hidden nicely in my front right pocket's slip sheath
- Agreeing with Frank Norman, we both have 'em in our kitchen butcher blocks
- James Mattis is bundling the Moran with Edge-Works sheaths
- Lots of folks are getting spares or giving Morans as gifts
- I've lost count of the e-mails I've gotten over the past months about this knife and the sheaths I had made for it. I've heard from all over the US including Alaska. And internationally from european countries, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Folks... I've simply been amazed. Don't let anyone ever try to convince you that the power of a word or two on the InterNet doesn't amount to much. My desire to share my good fortune and experience with this blade and the Edge-Works sheaths reached far more folks than I ever imagined posssible. My involvement with Rob Simonich and the Talonite, as well as Will Fennell and his EDI Genesis I have also garnered their fair share of mail. Gene sederholm said it best: "Ain't this place GREAT"!!!
