Jurphaas (the European spyderco employee) is a Dutchman.


And there is a knife show in Germany (IWA show) in the same week.

So the Glessers are in Europe for this show and also visit the Netherlands, Jurphaas is organizing the mini meet in Amsterdam.

You also believe that story about the kid, sticking his finger in the dyke to hold it from collapsing?

Cause if you do, you may just be the right person for some really unique bussiness opportunities that I have to offer. :D
