Happy Birthday Larrin! Thanks for your passion, moving things along in the industry, and educating us all!

P.S. What model do you carry in your sock?

Happy birthday Dr. Larrin S. Thomas, Ph.D.! Hope you have a great one! Thanks for all you do, you've made a huge impact on the industry as a whole, not just with Magnacut either. Before I even found these forums you were the first resource I went to when reading about steels, always extremely informative. Anyways, have a great B-Day!

Happy birthday! This isn't a Spyderco, but it's my favorite piece of MagnaCut!
