I've got two sons, Noa (21/10/2002) and Beau (25/05/2008 ). Both are great kids and I wanted to commemorate their birth in my knife collection. So, I got this idea into my head to buy them some similar, qualitatively good knives made in their year of birth.
Of course, I immediately thought of the standard in folding knives, the Chris Reeve Sebenza.
I was fortunate enough to find an Annual Limited Edition Large Sebenza from 2002 in Germany and acquired this with little effort, aside from the exchange of another CR Sebenza and some money (Danke, kamilpio 
)
Excellent, I thought,,, this went easy,,, finding one from 2008, a much more recent year, would probably pose not much of a challenge,,, right ?
Wrong ! 
Took me quite some time to eventually locate one for sale in the USA,,, but the seller wouldn't ship abroad, so I called upon the aid of my fellow bladeforum members and Guyon (Jason) stepped upto the plate 
He was willing to accept the Sebenza and forward it to me in Belgium,,, (thanks again, Jason ! you the man !)
Then I had trouble paying for the Sebenza with my belgian Visa CC,,, something with the number of digits for my postal code the seller couldn't enter into his machine,,,
Then finding the best way to pass the parcel quickly passed belgian Customs without having to pay too much extra Duty Tax,,, etc etc
But in the end everything worked out and was well worth the hassle 
In good company,,,
My two boys with their gramps, my father, on his 75th birthday last Wednesday,,,
Now I have something to remember their birth and they have something to remember me in times to come,,,
Sorry for the long post, but I had to share,,,
