We were at dinner the other night, our favorite Mexican food joint, when it happened. I got my usual plate of enchiladas and my wife got her same old same old, the Chicken Chimechanga. When the food came, it happened. My wife went to cut her food into bite sized pieces and the restaraunt knife was TOO DULL!! I immediately leapt into action, I whipped out my full sized Ritter Grip and my wife was able to CUT HER FOOD!! I seriously believe that, without my grip on my side, my wife would not have been able to eat her dinner and could possibly have DIED OF STARVATION! Just another case of the right tool at the right time doing it's intended task, and in the act it also saved an innocent life. Kudos to Doug for engineering such a fine tool. I owe him a debt of gratitude that I shall hope to some day repay. Thanks for listening.
 
Whew !........you perhaps averted a real disaster. Similarly this morning I too was surely saved by quickly employing my blade, a Schrade LB7, on a UPS delivery parcel marked "Open Immediately.....Do NOT Wait for Christmas." Always one to follow precisely any instruction printed in red letters on a delivery package.....like a ball bearing sliding across slick ice, my Schrade swiftly sliced the clear tape securing the brown box. Contained within were six frozen gourmet beef steaks nested in an ever diminishing, smoggy block of dry ice. Had I not possessed the aforementioned LB7 the box would have sat unopened, the dry ice evaporating rapidly into the ether......prime meat transforming itself from solid to thaw and then eventualy to rot.The natural law of spontaneous regengeration being what it is, flies undoubtedly would have appeared and then procreated....their maggots attracting rodents.....and so forth. My otherwise ordered and civilized environment would no doubt have degraded into some chaos that I can only shudder to imagine ! Not to mention the tragic loss of some rather toothsome tenderloin. :D

thanks for the good laugh guys, i needed that! :) :D

btw, i don't know about you guys, but isn't it funny how all of our cool knives in our collection are razor-sharp, but are our kitchen-cutlery is dull as butter? :p
 
Jim,

Thank you so much for your post and kind words. It is so gratifying to know that my humble efforts HAVE SAVED A LIFE. I can only imagine how difficult such a NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE must have been for you and your wife. I am so pleased that you had just the right SURVIVAL TOOL available that was able to prevent such a HORRIBLE DEATH FROM STARVATION. It is just this sort of LIFESAVING EXPERIENCE that helps provide me the motivation to develop the RSK Mk1 and some of the other projects in the works. SAVING JUST ONE LIFE makes it all worthwhile. Naming your first born after me will be suitable enough compensation... :D

Doug, I can only hope that you will quickly develop more life saving survival tools like the RSK Mk1 so that even more lives can be saved (I hope they're all knives). May their first born NOT be a girl!
 
Now see what you've done, I have been on the fence about ordering on of these for days and now you have puched me over the edge. With testimonials like this how can I risk my loved ones lives by not buying on.
 
My nephew would have died, but my trusty 110 came running in barking to get my attention. I immediately asked... "What's that, 110? Timmy fell down a well?" That knife saved his life that day.
 
We found the family of five huddled together and shaking in the cold rain at 6500 feet. "Fire" I thought, and I whipped out mt trusty Ka-Bar to make feather sticks from the dead branches of the firs. Then I remembered the 4oz bottle of naptha and the 1/4 lb. bar of paraffin, and the fire was quickly going. AND THAT KNIFE WOULD HAVE SAVED SEVERAL LIVES IF I HAD GIVEN IT A CHANCE. YES IT WOULD HAVE!! WOULD TOO!!!!!!! :mad:
 
Oh yeah? Well, I used my Leatherman to pull metal staples out of a cardboard box this morning so I could break it down to recycle - thereby quite possibly saving the world!
 
I have just informed Sabrina that her name is now Doug. It may take a few days to take.
