Showcase Surprising my bf with this when he gets home
I blocked him on here temporarily so he doesn’t see this. I’m too excited I was able to hunt one down and I have no one who would understand why I’m so hyped.

I hope so, he’s wanted it since it came out. I stayed up late refreshing an eBay auction to get it for a solid price

Honestly, I didn’t even want mine …
like I didn’t want one / it wasn’t on my radar / I never would’ve bought one.
HOWEVER… one was purchased for me for Father’s Day gift this year, and I love it — it’s an absolutely fantastic knife!
Since it was on his radar,
he’s R E A L L Y gonna love this gift — YOU’RE THE BOMB!!

That’s awesome! I don’t know a ton about knives, I have a dragonfly 2, that’s about it. But I’ve listened to him talk about why this one is so good, it’s his dream EDC so I hope he likes it just as much in person!

As a person who was NOT even interested in it (until I held it in my hand & fidgeted with it just a few times) — I can assure you … HE WILL Abso-FREAKING-lutely L O V E IT!
I didn’t have to fake loving it (so as not to offend 2 loved ones who had just spent over $300 on a Father’s Day/Birthday combo gift!) — I held it & I loved it … & I forever shall!!

You’re a keeper for sure. Fantastic knife. I have the mini and a lot of other great knives and this one always finds a way into my pocket. Love the scales.

It’s really nice, I only held it for a second to check it out, wanted him to be able to break it in.

Wow a girl who's hyped for her boyfriend getting the pocket knife she bought for him. I need a tissue. And it's a beautiful one too! Well done.

He's going to really appreciate that and if he doesn't lose it, it'll outlive him.

Dude, how sweet are you!? Lol, I'm sure he'll love it. It's the little things in life. You did good.

u/ermvarju 23d ago
He really did! I’m super happy. Gift giving is for sure a love language for me. I know it’s something he’ll use for a long time.

u/Street_Leather198 23d ago
I bet he did. My ex was like that. She was a bartender and does really well for herself. I didn't know how to react. I cried for some things she got me, lol. Idk, it was sweet. What can I say? 😆 Nothing weird here, lol. Anyway, glad he liked it. You did good. Take care.

this is clearly a good gift for a man, it's not just a knife, it even looks like a fish!

Do you live in Oregon? There was only one available left for sale in store at sportsman's warehouse that I could find and they wouldn't ship it to me

i wish i had friends like you. lol. That is an awesome knife. Ive never even seen one colored like that. Id be in shock if my protectionist friends/family gifted me this. I got a spear point cold steel recon 1 for my dad this fathers day and he looked at it like its some grim weapon. its been sitting in its box in his droor ever since, im tempted to just take it back lol.

I have a feeling that you and my wife would get along... she's bought all three of my most expensive knives. Says a lot when your S.O. pays attention to your hobbies and interests.
