Hi Matt,
I guess I have more than most. But it's an interesting point of view.
I was chatting with Jeff from the Cutlery Shop about 10 years ago. Jeff is a passionate knife Junky, very knowledgeable and a good customer for decades. I asked him how business was and he said very good. I asked him why and he said Collectors. I said Collectors? He said yeah, sal, people are collecting your knives. I said, What in the **** do they want to that for? They are high performance tools. He just smiled and pulled out his two ZDP Enduras and said thanx".
I got an email a few years ago. He said he had 70 some odd Delica's, he sent a photo and a list and wanted to know if he had them all. I had no idea we'd made so many variations. I asked Susan, One of our managers that's been with us for more than 30 years. She looked at the list and found a couple he was missing. I was surprised and impressed.
I guess i spend too much time looking ahead. :o
