The SOG for Fishiker is in the mail. I know we have all heard that something is in the mail but, it really is. I hope Fishiker enjoys his knife after waiting for all these years.
I am a firm believer that the best part of owning a knife is the memories and stories that come with time and use. Getting a blade through PIF is a good start but here is the backstory about William's SOG...
I purchased that knife shortly after I was married and money was tight. I wanted a SOG Tomcat but my wife kept telling me no, that we did not have the money. At the time, the Tomcat sold for forty-five dollars and the AirSOG was about ten or fifteen dollars less.
So, according to her, we had no money but, of course, she wanted some clothing and claimed it was badly needed. “I can get what I need for twenty-five dollars,” she said. “That's all I am going to spend. Just twenty-five dollars.” Amazingly, her $25 purchase did not stay that small. It was much, much more. Afterwards, she said it was all right if I bought a knife but, I could spend only thirty dollars or less. I guess she felt guilty or something. Not too guilty, though, because we had to have a heated discussion about sales tax on the cost of my AirSOG! Thirty dollars was a drop in the bucket when compared to what she had spent.
Unfortunately, I never did get my Tomcat but I did get my freedom from a relationship full of double standards. The last I heard, my ex-wife was on her third marriage and had spent the eighty thousand dollars her husband had in savings. Just think how many knives you could buy with 80K!
