Tis better to give...

#1

Post by Rule #9 »

So about mid September my brother-in-law's heart gave out on him. He was without oxygen for about 16 mins. It was pretty bad and for a little bit it was minute by minute to see if he would make it. Well he recently got out of the hospital and was over today to take the kids trick or treating. He's beginning to collect knives and has always liked my spydies and wanted to try a PM 2 or Manix 2 but never had the cash. Well now with the metric f*** ton of medical bills it's a distant dream. So tonight I presented him with my camo black bladed PM 2. You should've seen his face. It's a great feeling to be able to really lift someone's spirits in an instant. I don't even miss the knife, obviously not because I don't like it but because it means so much more where it's at now.

Great gesture! What a scare that would have been, I'm happy he is okay now!

Nicely done. I am sure that it was very rewarding to see such face.
