Letter Received from a U. S. Soldier in Operation Enduring Freedom 01 Feb. 02 Dear Tigersharp, Before my father was born, my family began a tradition of giving one knife a year as a birthday present, beginning at the year of birth. With my grandfather's blades now in my possession, I am the proud owner of close to one-hundred quality knives, some dating back to WWII. As the owner of so many knives, I am familiar with their many aspects, attributes and drawbacks and can recognize quality almost immediately. Upon being notified of possible deployment due to September 11th's cowardly attacks, I immediately purchased two locking blade knives: a Giordano, and a TigerSharp. My Giordano blade soon fell apart. My TigerSharp, however, endured everything, from opening mail, to equipment repair, and opening canned rations (exceeding its designed intent and specifications). My TigerSharp, however, was lost while riding in a Humvee outside the compound. I regret losing that knife and am grateful for the unexpected replacement. The added engraving ("Operation Enduring Freedom, 10th Mountain Division, 2002") turns an already quality knife into a special souvenir, conversation piece, and a knife that I will be proud to pass on to my own children. Thank you for your quality products and support. My entire platoon is proud to carry your knives in the war on terrorism. Sincerely, Name Witheld
