"LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL"...

What do I mean by the title of this blog. Well in (4) months, (14) days and a wake-up...I "STAND DOWN." Retirement. Paid in Blood, Sweat,and Tears.

More personal time to spend with my Family, train-(Martial Arts, Knife-fighting, etc...), travel-knife seminars, shows, Las Vegas, Italy, Japan, and open my own shop to sell knives, tactical gear, and maybe firearms. Being able to buy more custom knives, firearms, and maybe a Cadillac Escalade (lol!).

The windfall of liquid assets will help finance these endeavors and ensure financial security. Making it to this point is the only way I could "win." In a thankless profession to a harsh company...quitting, getting terminated, or worse meant you lose.

"That which does not kill you makes you stronger!"-Nietzsche

Make sure you allocate your time to include iKC too! Sounds like a blast to look forward to. Let us know when you get closer to opening your own knife shop; we'll support you.
Oh, and on the Escalade, you don't have to retire to get one. I have two :)
You need to find you a countdown clock and add it to your My profile for us to keep track too. Maybe you can fly us to HI for your retirement party.
Excited for you!
