Here I am, back home in the USofA, at the beach. Lets say my stomach is NOT used to American food yet, after eating Korean food for 3 years......
The stomach says "I need to unload, fast!!!" I head to the nearest bathroom while on Tybee Island, Georgia; a Subway shop. I do my business.
I go back to the condo. Next morning, awake, go watch the sunrise on the Atlantic. I need my Champion SAK I EDC....WHOOPS!!! Not on my belt.
I hunt all over. Only place that comes to mind it could be lost: Subway bathroom. I go back, the person at the store at 0845 is RUDE, would NOT let me go check, called me an ass, etc. I leave, call my father in law to come (get this: he is a judge, lawyer, and a Tybee Island part time cop....). We both go talk to him. Even more rude.
Champion a TOTAL loss........ :(((((((((((((((( This is the one I bought in Korea at a pawn shop, gave it some TLC, and carried for 2 years. Sigh...some schmuck now has it.
Later today at around 1300, I go to Bass Pro Shops, Target, nothing fits my fancy. I need a SAK NOW!!! (my collection from Korea is in transit with our household goods; rest are in NW Alabama in storage, and I am in Georgia at present). I have several guns at home to work on, etc. for Friday's gunrange session. So, I go to the mall where Bass Pro Shops is, and check out the cigar shop, as they sell knives, too. I go into the shop.............what do I find????
Guess what I scored today: a brand new in the box AUTOTOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, even the battery is still in plastic. Tag on windshield wiper tool is still there, pouch is cherry, etc. Cost, w/tax: $53.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will post pics soon.
ON a happy note, Felinevet is sending me a replacement Champion.......

Glad it worked out. I hate losing something of value though, even if I replace it - it's just not the same.
-
I'd probably ended smacking the guy for treating you like that >:(
Have fun with the replacements :tu:
-
Good story, glad it worked out for you. I hate rude people.
-
Wait! Did I just read this correctly? You were looking for a SAK replacement and you bought an Autotool instead? :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
That was a great find, and Tim is a great guy.
-
Sell the Autotool and buy 5 Champs :D
-
Eat some taco bell then revisit the subway bathroom...hitting the toilet is optional >:D

I will let the pics of the NIB OS Autotool speak for themselves; it is THICK!!!!!:
