Surprised!!

Today, I was spending some time cleaning up some boxes and such that had accumulated over the past few months. One of the boxes I recognized from receiving a knife from a trade I made with member "jhb" several months ago.

I had offered this:

He traded me this:

I was happy, he was happy, and we said so in emails to each other.

When I picked it up and pulled the envelope inside out, it felt funny, so I opened the envelope before tossing it.

There was another knife in there, and I never noticed because I was so excited about the one that I had traded him for, which is now one of my favorite knives and I carry it all the time.

Sigh. I am so embarrassed.

So, thanks jhb, for the brand-new, never carried or sharpened, Camillus Roughcut Stockman. Wish I'd found it sooner, so I wouldn't feel so dumb.

Besides feeling awed that you would send two knives when you only promised one.

Sigh.

Thank you.

Okay, now I feel even dumber -- I didn't realize there was a special forum for posting this kind of feedback.

Sigh. Maybe I can grill my steaks without looking dumb.
