Sons graduation gift

#1

Post by J Smith »

Hello everyone.
Been a while sense I have posted. My son Tyler is graduating high school. Thought I would show part of his gift from his Grandparents. He is going to flip over it.

Was going through pics the other night and was amazed how fast the time goes. He will be in collage this fall working on an RN degree. Here are a couple pics from Blade. First seems like it was just a couple years ago and the second is from last years Blade.

That's a great gift! He should definitely be happy with that one! I know I would.

I wonder if his grandparents will adopt me? I would love to have a knife like that.

Seriously, he is going to go wild. That is a wonderful gift for graduation. It is something he can treasure.

Most excellent! It is obviously a thoughtful and personal gift. He will love it.

Thanks
People can say what they want about knives and guns being bad but I really believe that Tyler's interest in the knife and gun world has been a good part of what has kept him on the straight and narrow.

How did they do the Damascus effect for these knives? Looks pretty sharp.

That's awfully nice. My parents' graduation gift was a case of beer.

That is so cool, and a great choice too! I'm sure he's going to love it! Good luck to him in school, I know nursing programs can be pretty grueling.

On another note, I love that pic of him with his wallet out. That sure happens a lot to us Spyderfans.

He got his name drawn on the Hinderer lottery last year. That emptied his wallet a good bit.
