KAHZ!!!!!!PINK CRICKET PINK CRICKET!!!!
Sharp1,
I don't think that one country is better than another on _absolute_ terms, they all have their pros and cons. I think this planet is an interesting place to live in all in all. Once I get to travel to other planets, I will give you my opinion on that. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Exchange rates are definitely not going to hinder me from moving around, they never had. It may sound scary to pay more (especially by multiplying everything American by 9.2), but you get used to it. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
That colour is just what I had in mind. A Mouse in that tone would be VERY eye-catching. Almost gunmetal... hmmm...
Thanks for the sales rep idea, I will be polishing my resume soon! Yay!
Eclipse, oh, nice Cricket!

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the congrats. I really didn't want to lose out on such a unique knife. I wondered if anyone else on the Forum had bid on the same knife. It's nice to know that we can all bid against each other in friendly competition! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
"Hope for the best. Be prepared for the worst. You'll never be disappointed."

Sal and everyone,
Well, the family is growing... I got a pink insect today...
Can you tell that they already get along quite well? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
Mouse in left pocket, Cricket in right pocket... ah, the pleasure of carrying a mammal and an insect and being able to show them off, priceless... For everything else, there's MasterCard. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Folks,
Regarding the U.S exchange rate and it's effect upon knife prices...I'm not sure it's going to hurt Kahz too much...
Out here in Western Canada; I often seem to pay about the same in Canadian dollars for a Spyderco knife as I've heard you folks do in U.S dollars, considering the exchange.
For instance, my Wegner Jr. cost me $148 Canadian dollars recently, which works out to about $93 U.S dollars. This doesn't seem excessive to me.

Jeff,
You are completely right. That's the example I made of how much I paid for the Mouse (which just sounds like a lot). Exchange rates are just that, it does not mean one _necessarily_ pays more. As a matter of fact, many things on absolute terms in IL are cheaper than in Mexico (Gasoline, many canned foods, good quality clothes, etc.).
Thanks for clearing this out. I am excited about my future move to your land. And no, not scared of winter, Toronto seems to very similar to Chicago and this is the 3rd winter I've spent here, plus, certain parts of Northern Mexico (very close to where I was born) are also very cold and can get down to -25 Celsius (approx. -13 Farenheit), many people are not aware of this. I love cold winters! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
