We went out to dinner last night with our best friends and when they brought the bread to the table, it was not sliced and no knife on the table, so I pulled out my Spyderco ATR and sliced it. You should have seen the looks on my friends faces! Priceless! I have known these people for 35 years, grew up with them and apparently they still don't know me, they looked like they had seen a ghost! "put that away, put that away!" they said. The waitress thought it was great and asked to see it so we talked about knives for a couple minutes and finally my friends wife picked it up and started admiring it, but did pick it up with two fingers like it was a snail or something like someone else had mentioned on the forums before, then made the comment, Honey, this is what you need. When we got back to my house I showed him my collection and he picked out the Spyderco native and said, "I like this one" I'm guessing he'll get hooked.
