Oooo! A puuko! I'm in, that's exactly the sort of thing I want to own. Oh, but I'd like to sign in for the Sodbuster, as well. I've heard great things about Case, and it'd make an excellent gift for my brother's 13th birthday. It's sort of a big thing here. We're (my family) not religious at all, but according to Judaism (not government laws, just the religion itself), he'll officially be a man. It's a popular tradition nevertheless. I find it silly, but I digress. This isn't the place to discuss that. My point is, what a good 'coming of age' gift that would make!
Well, a little about myself. I've moved around the world quite a bit, and I've ended up in Israel (there is literally too much for me to tell you in this post. If you're interested, email me.) Being 18, but having a special reason to prolong it, I'll be entering my mandatory service next year instead of this one, after which, I'll work towards living in Scandinavia. I want to live in Iceland at some point in my life, and I'm fascinated by viking beliefs, the Norse mythology, and other aspects of their culture. I hope to work in the tourism industry there, eventually, and so that knife (the puuko, that is) would be great for tours into the wilderness. That, and I like carving whilst I hike. It's not the most specific answer, but then again, I'm new to knife collecting as a whole, and I just want to stop using my Buck 112 for carving. It's the only proper knife (I.E. not a Victorinox, of which I own two) I own, and well, it's taken THE worst beating. Most of the things I learned about what to do and what not to do with knives, was with that knife. Then I loaned it to someone, as mentioned in another forum post, and well, the tip is missing. Learned not to loan them to the uninitiated... or rather, those less initiated than me, but that's not important to the story.
I've learned quite a bit since then, and, long story short, I'd carve with it when I'm stressed, take it for hikes, and have it as an outdoor EDC when I live abroad. This whole post turned out quite random, and I apologize for that. Like I said, if anyone wants to know more about something, feel free to email me.
TL;DR Sign me up for both, please, and thank you so very much for the opportunity!
