Last week I made a post saying that I had lost my Kershaw chive that I had for 10 years. I did not think that I would be so upset about losing this knife. I guess having it with me every day for 10 years got me really attached to it. While looking for a replacement I came across this community and decided to sign up. In my original thread JustinWatts made a very generous offer to send me his Chive that he no longer used. This was an extremely generous offer and I wanted to make this post to thank him for it. Thanks Justin!
This appears to be a great community and I am still trying to figure out if I fit in here. I am not a knife collector. I had that same Chive for over 10 years and never even thought about needing other knives. I didn't even know that people collected these things. That being said, I did develop some interest in a few other knives while shopping for that replacement. I really liked the slightly larger size (than the chive) of the Scallion and the Kryo. I also checked out a Spyderco black Tenacious but I don't seem to like those larger 3 inch knives. Boy was that thing smooth though. It opened nicely and just felt nice. If I keep hanging around here I could see me being tempted by something else. For now though, I think I will stick to my old faithful Chive from Justin.
Thanks for the knife Justin and thanks to everyone else for the welcome!
