None here, as the folks in my family know I'm way too picky to be able to buy something like a knife for me. I'd have to pick it out and then it wouldn't be a surprise. However, I got a new G Shock that I've been lusting over for a while now and I'm super happy with it. I haven't taken pics so here's a Casio pic.

Well, since you asked, I got a Caly 3.5 ZDP 189 completely customized with smoothly rounded edges, stonewashed blade, and redone edge. After years, it's hard to get a gift for your wife/husband, so we got our own this year.

Damascus/Titanium Delica. This is my first Delica...and it's a really cool knife. Thinner than the FRN version I gifted my dad, and a little heavier and yet more solid feeling.

My wife got me a new Dragonfly-2 G10 for Christmas. Feels like a totally different knife compared to my FRN DF-2.

^ Jealous of both. I doubt I would carry the bali (even if I could legally), but I'd still love to own one.

I was looking for a few months for a smallfly. I was hoping to find the blue BladeHQ exclusive, but no one wanted to let that one go, so the black G10 was my next choice! I haven't decided if I will carry it (more of a collectors piece for me), but I am excited to have a Southard again!

Hey guys,
Here's my gift from my wife.

She originally ordered a Yo 2 from Howes, as the site said they had one in stock. She even got a order confirmation.
After two days, there was no activity on our bank site, so she called and left a message about her concerns. Before she could hang up, Jim picks up the phone.
He hadn't planned on coming in to the shop, (Christmas Eve), but dropped by to take care of something.
He heard my wife's message, and felt he needed to address the issue.
Turns out the website hadn't been updated, and the Yo 2 was actually out of stock.
She asked about the Techno (ain't I got an awesome wife?), and although it isn't even listed on his site, he said he had access to one.
He gave it to her at his cost, and sent it out that day.
I got the knife, and Jim tossed in a free gift for the inconvenience, a BCB International fishing kit.
I just wanted to say thanks to Jim for his outstanding customer service!
And thanks to my wife for putting up with me and getting me such an awesome gift!
Later,
Don

Travis was showing off your package on IG. Looks like you will be pleased.

Let us know how you like that Techno. It's on my list to consider.

Here are the three new Spydies I received for Christmas from my beautiful bride (she continues to spoil me rotten! :D ):

I'd been wanting one of these since they came out:

The Chokwe is one of my wife's favorite Spyderco designs. I have to agree :D :

The Hungarian was one model I had been really looking forward to all year. CTS-XHP steel, polished G-10 handle scales, polished SS bolsters, excellent fit and finish...sigh. It was love at first sight!
