I was pretty sure my husband wouldn't get me a Spyderco knife since he finds them not that attractive and he never quite knows which one I've already got ;-) But to my surprise he still got me a knife and a great new bag on top of that.

Here's my brand new Maxpedition Versipack Jumbo and a cool ESEE Izula. Still grinning from ear to ear and jumping around happily.

Any surprises under the try for you guys and gals?

Congrats SuzieQ! Nice pic! And this statemend makes me proud :D "he never quite knows which one I've already got"

No Spydies for me. I prefer buying my own anyway, and I did get some gift cards that will be turned into Spydies!

But I gave my father-in-law a stainless Dragonfly, and it was a big hit.

I got a sweater

, It's not a knife but my wife says I look sharp :rolleyes:

I got my son a Kiwi 3 and he was very excited and put it to use helping his younger brother open some of his boxes :D

We had three Spydercos going this last night and this morning. My wife and her Purple Delica 4 and me with my Manix 2 cutting wrapping paper last night. Then this morning opening packages...picture this Christmas card...Wife with Delica, Me with the Manix and my son with his new Kiwi :cool: .
It was awesome!

Merry Christmas

My wife surprised me by buying a Maxpedition Falcon-II backpack then stuffing it full of goodies, some of which are:
- Spyderco Sage2
- Surefire G2Z Flashlight
I then got a present from my mother-in-law of a Sage3 so now I have the complete Sage series until the 4 comes out :D

I didn't buy her any knives but I did get her a 4Sevens Quark Turbo for walking the dog.

My lovely lady got me a titanium UKPK this christmas. My 'Oh noes it's going out of production' rant, must have steered her towards that model. Usually, she is also part of the 'never quite sure which one he already has' crowd. :D

$200 for a knife, I pick the 2nd hand PPT off an IRC friend who I also bought my Para m390 off. Leftover money is for some things I have to ship out overseas and for Express mail with the para and PPT :)

My girlfriend got me an Endura Emerson Wave so my Delica Wave would have a big brother. Plus, my folks got me an Assist which I've been wanting forever. A buddy of mine also surprised me with an awesome Spyderco banner.

I had two surprises under my try :) . One was a CRKT Ripple knife. My son't girlfriend got it for me and labled it as coming from my grandson and step-granddaughter. Two things surprised me. First, she got me a knife because I like knives. Second, she picked one I am very happy with. It's my first CRKT and first flipper opening knife both. I'm very happy with it and it already nicked me. :mad:

The second surprise was my wife told me to order something I've been wanting but haven't gotten yet. I'm sure she figured it would be knife related but also went along with my request to not buy anything knife or tool related for me because she doesn't know what I have or what I want. She knows nothing about tools and knives except when to tell me to use them to make or fix something. :D So, I ordered a Spyderco ultra-fine ceramic stone. I got the 2"x8" size. It might come today, but probably tomorrow or Wed. I'm not sure how the Christmas package shipping rush is going.

Congrats Suzie on your surprises.

Now that Christmas is past it's time to say "Happy New Year". So, Happy New Year!
