I have a friend/mentor at work who is about to retire.
Myself, another specialist and two engineers wanted to do something nice for him before he leaves us.
This man is one of the most helpful human beings I have ever met.
The four of us got together and decided on a pocket knife for him. My small team left it up to me to determine the knife to get. But we all decided the color of the knife had to resemble sulfur (we are sulfur specialists and engineers.)
I am a Case fan, and showed my team my yellow Case knives. But, the wanted something a little nicer.
So, I showed them the GEC #56 in Mustard. They loved it.
So it’s on order. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when we give it to him.

A gift to treasure Naplamsouth. The yellow handle is a perfect touch.

Re: Retirement gift for a friend
When I retired last year on of my agencies gave me a Case Trapper that had my name printed onto the clip blade. I will never carry it but I'll always treasure it.

Re: Retirement gift for a friend
I love the idea of the sulphur colour! I do definately think an inscription is in order, or perhaps his initial on the shield. Nice!

That is going to be a big hit at the retirement party! Your buddy is fortunate to have such thoughtful friends. OH

Initials on the shield sounds like a great idea.

I believe you have already placed the order but DLT will do that for you for $6.95 if it hasn't already shipped.NapalmSloth wrote:Initials on the shield sounds like a great idea.

It arrived yesterday. I’ll have to find a local place to do it.
