Alright so today at the store there were two soldiers renting one of our trucks and to make a long boring story short, things got messed up and my boss helped them out. One soldier comes back in and drops a black box on the counter and says to my boss "that's for you for helping us out." I immediately saw BENCHMADE on the box and was like
So anyways my boss is like "what is it?" ..."It's a very expensive knife." "oh, thanks man!"
Turns out it's a Benchmade Stryker auto. And it
is expensive.
So before I left I said to my boss "How you doing on that Dewars?"
"runnin low.."
"How about I trade you a big bottle for that knife you got from that guy?"
So now that me, "the gadget guy", is interested in this knife he decides to look it over and make a decision...yup cuts himself
Not too bad, like a papercut. So he's playing around with the knife and I'm fully expecting him to start sawing the desk to see how sharp it is. With my best poker face I said "so you want a huge bottle of whiskey or that knife?" and started walking towards the door...
"Yea I'll trade.."
So on the way home I bought a big $37 bottle of Dewars, and I'll have my first automatic knife, and first Benchmade. It's not something I'd ever buy or carry...but it could come in handy in a trade at some point here or on bladeforums.
Just thought I'd share...not everyday a free Benchmade comes into the picture.
