Yo Sal! Don't keep me in Suspenders!

PhilL · Dec 19, 1999

Mr. Glesser,
I am very sorry I didn't see your request for my address sooner. I sure wasn't trying to ignore you, I just didn't see it. If you had e-mailed me I would have gotten back to you sooner. Please Sir, why did you need my address? I don't have a clue, and I sure would like to know. I have tried being subtle, in trying to get your attention, but the suspense is killing me. If you would rather not say, can you at least tell me if you received my e-mail?

Waiting your reply,
PhilL

PhilL - sorry to create stress. Emails go to the office. I haven't been there since Friday (17DEC). (I often work at home).

We decided that one of the ideas you presented (another thread) was worth the requested reward.

Tried to find one around here (2nd or anything) none to be had. While in Seki last week, I scrounged around there and found about 7. Except for yours, they will 1st be offerred to the crew and the remainders sold through SFO.

I needed your mailing address for staff to send it to you. I assumed Plain but have both.

Sal,
You are amazing, you're not kidding me are you? Stuff like this doesn't happen to me.
If you're not kidding, Plain Please. The only thing that would make this sweeter would be a signed note from you.
Sir, you have made my day, and my Holiday, if there is anything I can do in return, consider it done.
Thank you, seems to be grossly inadequate, but what else can I say.

My warmest wishes for you and yours. May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live.

Your freind,
Phil

Merry Christmas, PhilL!

(I thought that was Santa in the Spyderco video...!)

Happy holidays and new year -- millenium! -- to all,

Thanks Glenn, right back at ya' my friend. My only problem is I can't get this big dopey grin off my face

PhilL,

I gotta admit that mirror thing was a stroke of genius... especially combined with the Spydie Card. Well done

!

Sal,

Again your generosity is unbounded. Found a few in Seki eh? Unbelievable. These forums do reap benefits for all don't they <big grin>!

I apologize for not posting as much as I used to. Work and moderator duties have eaten into my on-line time. Hope to make another trip to Golden this summer to see the gang unless I can get to Atlanta for the Blade Show

!!!

You all take care!

Thanks Bob,
Generosity is one thing, what Sal did still has me in a state of shock. Nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Dannyc · Dec 22, 1999

Congrats, Phil. Don't be surprised. Sal is very much like that, very kind and generous.

He sent me a cricket and a wegner as gifts (early Christmas gift?

)to ease up my woes on a defective Military I bought a few months back. I was so happy when I received the package. Only problem was, the cricket was there, but the wegner was not. I emailed them thanking them for the gift, but had to tell them that the box says cricket and wegner, but no wegner was found inside the box (untampered). They replied promptly and told me that a wegner will follow suit. I'm still waiting, and even though Sal didn't have to do it, he did it anyway. That just goes to show you why Spyderco is well-loved by most of the forumites here.

Nobody has done this to me before, and I was really floored.

My new year's resolution next year? Patronize the company and its products even more.

They sure have earned my trust and my respect.

Dan,
Thanks for your response. I have loved Spyderco's from the first time I saw them. My first knife show I was like a kid in a candy store, I went home with two Spyderco's, great knives. Sal is a self made man, he did a very good job, he made a Living Legend. There's a lot of good people, there are only a few Great People, he's one of them. If Sal does include a personal note, it will be as important to me as the knife itself, that's from the man himself.

Dannyc · Dec 23, 1999

Very true, Phil.

The personal note itself would be worth framing, if ever.

hehehe... I know I would!

It's too bad in my country, the people here aren't ready for knives like these. I've been contemplating on becoming a dealer for Spyderco knives myself, but will have to hold off that dream until they are more comfortable with knives of this caliber.

Dan

PhilL · Dec 24, 1999

Sal,
You weren't kidding. Your gift was just delivered, and a dream became a reality. Your note will be framed, the knife cherished, you and your company held in the highest regard. I hope someone makes you as happy as you've made me. Thank you.

Your friend,
Phil

Merry Christmas to All!

Sal Glesser · Dec 24, 1999

PhilL - Your welcome & Thank you.
