Here's a bit of the pre-story. A few years ago when the FFG Endura/Delicas came out. I pre-ordered a Gray Endura. The store sent me a Green one on accident because the part numbers were so similar. I didn't really like it and I ordered a Gray Endura.

Chuck bought my Green Endura and I sent him the wrong box. I told him I would send him the correct box for the green one. Also, I rarely see Chuck post pictures of him carrying the Green Endura, so I figure it isn't one of his favorites.

Sounds like a good setup for a WTF moment. I told him I was gifting him a Green Endura because green is so popular, which he and I know he already has. :)

Alright, I got around to watching it, there was much more dancing than I'm used to seeing in an unboxing video! LOL on the dance after me saying it was a green endura. You really were at a loss for words, you didn't say what the knife was and you didn't mention it was your grail. :)

Pfft, look who this is coming from. You gifted me custom scales. To this day, my Green Manix is one of my favorites. :)

If you turn your man card over and read the fine print, crying is allowed when related to "man stuff". This may include: guns, knives, cars, trucks, tractors, dogs, fishing, etc. No need to turn it in, just soak up the man love! :cool:

To know that one man has done a dance of joy because you have lived, that is to have been a success. Nicely done Donut.

Thanks Chuck for sharing!
