This Xmas hit the S.P.O.T.!!!

[DAYWALKER]

Aloha ALL!

Well...No "big brown trucks" coming to my door, BUT, I did however get a small brown package today in the mail! Now, I don't know if the :spyder: Friend who sent me this wants to be known or not, so i will just refer to him as "Swampwalker" :D

Anyway, thanks to "Swampwalker", I can now cross out the :spyder: S.P.O.T. on my "wish list"! This thing comes in a pretty big box for a knife this small! Ahhhhh, a SPOT finally..! And a Black one no less!!! After studying the coat however, I do not see this black finish lasting too long. It looks like the paint they use on the black clips...it will keep the rust at bay though, as anything usually bead blasted corrodes quite fast here in the Islands!

I liked the sheath for this FB, and also the way the SPOT felt in hand...only, the handle could be a bit thicker. So I figured I would try to do my "JapWrap" (Please, anyone of japanese ancestry, do not be offended, as I am 1/2 japanese myself!). This is much like the wrap done on Samurai sword handles. Growing up during the "Sho Kosugi era", I learned how to do this after the chord from one of my cheap samurai swords unravelled. BTW, whatever happened to Sho Kosugi anyway? :confused: Anyway...

I thought of CKE when I got this, as i recall how proud he was when he wrapped his SPOT's handle...Well, Craig, IF you're reading, my wrap is not as good as yours, but hey, I tried! :o

Can't wait to test this SPOT out!!! "Swampwalker"...you have my mahalo'z and thank you for the early Christmas! (I REALLY mean it as I will be "ordered back" no doubt on Xmas Eve AND Xmas Day! Senior staff NEVER come to work on these days...ugh! :mad: )

God bless!

OBTW, Images attached made possible by Ted!!! God bless you man!!! ;)

That is a nice knife, and gift to boot!

I kinda grew up with Sho Kosugi as well, but moreso with that great TV Series "the master" I believe it was called. The one where Lee van Cleef teaches a young american to walk tightropes and throw stars! :D

Anyway, what did happen with Sho Kosugi?!

[DAYWALKER]

Howzit Wouter!!!

Yeah, the SPOT was a really cool gift! :cool:

Wow..."The Master"...I remember that show too! LOL! When I was growing up, the Ninja Craze hit it's all time high, and Sho Kosugi ruled...well, until they started showing re-runs of "Shadow Warriors" episodes w/ Sony Chiba! :D Ugh, the Ninja Craze...wasted a LOT of money back then! :o

God bless ya Wouter and Happy Holidays!!!

Aloha loki88!

"Sandokan"??? Hmmmm, no, I never saw that one. I wonder if samosaurus has...
LOL, i know what ya mean about things "not being the same"...that's what I feel when I watch these Kosugi flicks...Chiba, I like though.

God bless!

Hi Chad, enjoy your new toy - this of course, till the "biscuit" arrives ;)
Sho Kosugi, he, he. :) Great old times when they relied more on their skills and less on special effects, not like they do now (think Jet Li). I still preffer Jackie Chan more - it has great coreography and a lot of fun. :)
Sandokan was known as "the Tiger of Malaysia" so I think Samo should be aware of him :rolleyes: ... or maybe not. There was a rerun a couple months ago and it was enjoyable, though not what I used to remember from my childhood. :o

Aloha my brother Alex!

Yeah, i am enjoying my "toy"! I wore it for 10hrs. while posted as Perimeter Search Officer from Christmas evening to the following morning. Never really noticed it was there after a while, only when I made my entries in the log book. It's a cute knife! :D (MAHALO "swampwalker")

Hmmmm, I got a new nickname for Samo! "The Tiger of Malaysia" eh? Sounds cool! :D

Oh, the biscuit...I will e ya about that later! Thanks again! :D
God bless!!!
