So I bit the bullet the other day and purchased 2 Falkniven
TK6's.
Boy is my wife pissed............
I don't know what she's pissed off more about.
The approx $500.00I spent on them for the pair,, or the fact thatits an 8 to 10 wk delivery and I paid for them both upfront the fact that I bought knives for kids, the fact that she said No I i did it anyway.who knows.
I phoned my brother and gave him the "Heads Up" cause his wife ain't gonna be too pleased with me either.
But its not like I see here everyday, so he'll be the one that gets the earful.
Oh well, my wife better get used to me doing it though,
cause thats what i do..
And there is more kids coming of that age in the next few years.
By than she'll probably have divorced my butt so she may not care either.
Anyways the kids should enjoy them.
WOW, Kinda makes me like my $25 Buck 110 a whole lot better.
Yeah..I don't like settlingon something, just to keep the peace.
I'm stubburn that way.
Whether or not cheeper priced ones may work isn't the issue with me, its more that when I give a giftto someone,I want to be remembered as the one giving it.
Call it selfish, call me stupid,call it as having a heart of gold,it doesn't matter to me.
What is important to me, is when these 2 kids are in their 70's and 80's,they will remembergetting their first quality hunting knife from their Uncle Jeff.
And hopefully,it will be something that they will be proud to hand down to one of their kids or other familly members.
Those are the gifts that I like to give. Not ones that will be tossed,replaced, or forgotten about a few years down the road.
I will always be like that and it won't change.
