the coolest part about this particcuar knife, was how i acquired the thing. At first sight of ever gazing upon this beauty, and i knew that it not only was the coolest buck knife i had ever seen, but it was also maybe the coolest knife ever that i had seen in general, and it was true red, my favorite color. so now i have established y wants, needs, desires for the kniife, and a good friend of mine took advantge of that by never making me a price on the knife, and refuesd to sell, refused to sell, and then one day after it has been so long since i had ever seen the knife for the first time i decide that i am willing to pay $400 for the knife because i will never see another one like it, and i had always knew that it had to be mine. so i gave my friend a hundred bucks, and take the knife home, not nerarly as excited or enthused as i oncce had been about the kniefe, but i met it years ago, and hae ssince put it in the back of my thoughts until now. after the first night, i determined that the knife no longer excited me te way it once had done before, and that i was not wiling to give up four hundred bucks for it at the time, so i have the knife back to my buddy and told him he took too long and that i was not as interested in it now years had passed. so for christmas that year, my awesome friend paul, gave the knife to me as a gift, and i have had it ever since, and been able to love iit as much as i love owning it. perfecto.
