My new Q from yablanowitz!

[JestersHK]

I was gifted a HK Q from yablanowitz after my post regarding my factory outlet visit. At first I though he had one for sale which was awesome as I've followed a few on ebay and have reservations buying from there. Instead he simply asked that I send him a coin, any coin, and remember to pay it forward and do something kind for someone...

I will definitely do both and hope to be an example such as him. A truly generous offering to literally an internet stranger.

Thank you again sir, you brightened my day heck my whole week as I dug my new Q from its packaging this morning. I will give it a great forever home, and I think my oldest will end up with it when time comes as she already asked if she could have dibs on it.

Out of all the HK branded knives I always thought the Q series was the coolest. The Benchmade had some cool ones with the same grip textures as the pistols, but that blade cut out on the Q always won me over.

Going to work on a stand or shadow box for it so it can hang out in my office. Such a cool knife, I'm still giddy this morning.

Very cool Jack. It is truly a pleasure to have you be part of this group.

Warms my little grinch heart to see such generosity. Enjoy it always in good health!

I learned from the best, Sal.

The coin thing is an old tradition/superstition that a knife should never be given as a gift lest the edge sever a friendship. The coin is a symbolic purchase. You don't see it as much here, but I'll bet some of our European brethern could tell you more.

Glad it has found a good home, the poor thing has been languishing in a box for years.

Whenever I give someone a knife I give them a penny as well.

One of the knife companies used to have a penny in the package way back (maybe it was a special edition, but I remember seeing it). I always thought that was a neat idea. Lets the recipient give them the coin to the person who gave it to them and carries on the tradition.

Even more special when they give you a coin with some significance. I have had a couple pocket the penny and one gave me a challenge coin and the other a silver dollar a short while later. That was neat.

Love seeing old traditions carry on.
Cheers

I also observe the coin tradition, but I can’t say I’m this generous. Nice move Yab!

Nice! The Q is the only knife I’ve ever lost- my girlfriend claimed it and lost it in the restaurant dining room where we both worked

Awesome gesture Yab! Tell him he can repay the kind gesture with an actual HK pistol! A P30L V1 will do nicely, sure to bring a smile to your face!

There’s just something about giving a super nice gift away to brighten someone’s day that money can’t touch! Love a good “make me smile” post!
