THE MOST ROMANTIC USE OF A SPYDIE

I was driving through a suburbun road, very next to a large flowers plantation, when I saw a wonderfull spot of wild roses, just the kind that my wife loves.. in two minutes and a couple of cuts with my Calipso jr I had seven beautyfull roses on the seat of my car, and is so nice to see my wife when she smiles.....

EX ALTO FULGOR
 
I went out with my girlfriend for her birthday to a nice restaurant. I tell her I have to go to the bathroom for a sec., go to the car, open the trunk, grab the gifts, and return to the table with them. She was pleasently surprised, to put it mildly
wink.gif
. One of the gifts was wrapped with cellophane paper and had a thin ribbon which held it in place very tightly. She struggled with this ribbon for a few seconds, finally giving up and asking for something to cut it. Two seconds later my Dragonfly is snapped open in my hand, and I rapidly make quick work of that pesky ribbon. I think she was impressed

Another anecdote, but it wasn't a Spydie
wink.gif
. I was at a much less nicer restaurant with her the other day (Ponderosa) and we bought a bottle of white wine (Santa Helena, Chilean). The waitress attended us but didn't bother to open the bottle. Not wishing to wait for her to come back, I take out my Swiss Army Explorer and open the bottle with the corkscrew. Again, she was impressed

I love impressing my girlfriend with my knives! That way, maybe in the future she will be less inclined to confiscate them from me or complain that I buy too many :P

I gave my wife a VERY SPECIAL MINI MARINER to celebrate the birth of our 4th child.This is one knife she really wanted and thanks to the Generosity of Sal and the others at Spyderco this was possible.They helped me thank my wife in a very special way.

A friend of mine, in an act of random cuteness, once used a serrated Endura to cut me a bunch of flowers off of a nearby tree.

(Of course, it probably would've been more impressive if he'd had a knife on him in the first place, and hadn't had to borrow mine to do it..

right after the wedding was over my wife and I drove off in a jaguar limo we were all drunk and hugging she handed me a benchmade afck(they at least license the hole from spydie). I freaked I was so happy.

unfortunately she thought that was the only knife I ever needed. but it sits now in a box in my safe waiting to be engraved.

only an Italian could come up with this post

 
Heaps.First it is very hard to find one.The fact that it was found at Spyderco and offered to me another.It has Abalone inlays in the handle.It came at a time that was important to my wife and I.
She will never ever sell or trade it and my youngest Daughter will receive it in her will.
I know it's a bit sentimental but that's the way we feel.

Last night I used my Wegner to cut a loose piece of string that had come unraveled from the cast on my girlfriend's foot/leg.
Pretty darned romantic if you ask me... But she ruined the moment by yelling "Not so close to my leg!! If you cut me I'll kill you!!" Kind of breaks the spell a little.

I'm reminded of the advertisements put out by de Beers, I think, that promote the idea of celebrating life's milestones by buying another diamond. That's fine for others, but I'm far more comfortable here in this forum, where life's big events are commemorated with another Spyderco.
In this vein, last Valentine's Day I gave my wife, previously a nonknife person, a Mini-Dyad lightweight. She took it with her horseriding. Her riding buddies were so impressed with the ease with which the little serrated blade trimmed our horse's shipping boots ( stiff rubber sleeves that keep him from clipping his back legs with his front ones) that her friends insist that she keep the knife in her saddlebag at the barn with the rest of her horse gear. The knife is a prisoner of its own excellence! Recently my wife asked me if I could please find her another serrated knife so she could put it in with her horse gear and take the Mini-Dyad home.
Ah, the possibilities before us...
 
Only an italian could come up with this post... Yeah and so what?At least when we buy a new knife we can say "honey, last one was for cutting roses, this one will cut ............."(insert here wife's favorite flower). No more discussion about knives.
Never underestimate italian cleverness

I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers but I am 100% Brooklyn-Italian-American. So it was a compliment to our heritage and what great romantic lovers we are.

).
My reply was written under a very good mood and yes:we italians , despite all of our shortcomings have something to say in the romance department.
