It was a labour of love

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,,,

Opened some letters with my Spyderco Caly III and tightened some screws with my SwissTool Plus

My choices for dealing with :zombie: from amongst my own collection:

Horton Camp Blood Special

Swamprat Chopweiler

Scrapyard Yardhook

Scrapyard Son of Dogfather

At the moment the knives I use/love the most are:

Spyderco Caly III for EDC

Frost Mora (Ray Mears edition) for in the woods

Horton Camp Blood Special for the display

Nice throw :juhuu:

Very nice, reminds me of William Henry knife sheaths :cool:

Regrettably I since sold the BATAC Urban Gray, but luckily I replaced it with a BATAC LE

I used to have a YardHook, but was stupid enough to sell it on

There's a Game Warden on it's way to me. I'll post pics when it arrives. :cool:
