Hey Larrin.

Any knife or sharpener we make. A birthday gift. Let me know.

That’s very generous, Sal. I will think about it. My wife says she would rather you give me a job in Golden. ;)
Sal, If you aren’t able offer Larrin a job, let him decide on a Sprint and name it after him! The Birthday gift that keeps giving!

BTW: Happy Birthday Larrin!

Happy belated birthday as well! I certainly loved the years I lived in Colorado, the Front Range is one of the most beautiful spots in the country! ;) :D

Buy Dr. Larrin S. Thomas, Ph.D. a gift by buying some of his merch.
Dr. Larrin, how about designing a knife in your steel?
Happy birthday to the king of Steel nerds!
Spyderco would be even more amazing with you there. I hope you do get hired there to go full mad scientist for the best knife company there is.
