I went to the blade show with the primary goal of acquiring a lefty Shamwari. A knife that has always been out of reach for me.
We landed early bird passes for 1pm. We arrived at the Cobb galleria about 10 minutes before 1pm. My 3 yo daughter was eating an ice cream cone, but I didn’t have the patience to wait.
So I let my wife and kids behind to make my way to the Bull’s table, certain they would sell out quickly.
I made it to the Bull’s table and picked up a lefty Shamwari to purchase. I explained to Gareth that I had traveled a long way to purchase one of his knife’s.
Then Gareth said, “Oh wait, Your wife placed a custom order.” I was surprised to say the least. Soon my wife arrived wearing a shamwari t-shirt she had made up.
She joined Instagram with the user name “I need a Shamwari.” She messaged both Jason & Gareth explaining that she wanted to purchase a shamwari for our 10 year wedding anniversary (6/6).
Jason & Gareth discussed my wife’s request. They were touched & decided to make the knife.
Jason even hooked us up with the early bird passes. Something I was also clueless about. It would have been impossible to even see a lefty shamwari if we had to wait for general admission. All the Shamwari’s sold out quickly on the first day.
Jason and my wife did cook up a plan to hide the lefty shamwari’s from me for their amusement when they saw the shamwari t-shirt. My childlike impatience thwarted that plan though, thankfully.
The Bull’s were both awesome guys. It was a pleasure to meet them. They will be making me a custom Shamy based on my grail specs (lefty 3.3 textured titanium).
My wife is awesome too. <3. I already knew that though.
Sorry if this is at all confusing. I have been typing this up over several days.
