A couple of weeks ago, I offered up a free knife to any good kid that had a use for one. It was nothing special, just one that I had sitting around unused for the last 20 years, so figured maybe someone could put it to good use. I wound up sending it to a little girl here in TN, whose name is Emily, and thought nothing else about it. Then I received this stuff in the mail today, and I just gotta say, she made my Christmas. It wound up being such a positive experience for me that I will start giving a knife away, for Christmas, every year from here on out. ![[Linked Image]](http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad270/bigtdaddy68/20161222_145405_zpsra7kew4u.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad270/bigtdaddy68/20161222_144217_zpsojwzleaw.jpg)

And kudos to the parents of a well raised little girl.
Thank you notes are a rarity with these later generations.

Yes. Obviously good parenting and a rare jewel there. I do my best to encourage "please, thank you, sir, and mam" into kids, bur it rarely sinks in.

That is my grandaughter and she is a joy. Thanks again for your generosity, Troy. Merry Christmas to all! BTW, you should have seen her face when I took the knife to her.

I knew that there was a reason that I bought a sling from you! Great Christmas story.
