HSB Gets Gifted

Hot Sauce Blog Knife

A fellow HSB memeber recently sent me this engraved knife as a token of his appreciation of all things HSB related. This is definately one of the coolest gifts I’ve recieved and just in time for my birthday no doubt. Yes folks, today I turn the big 2-5 – let the celebrating begin! Actually, probably won’t do much until this weekend – Tuesdays are not the best party night of the week.

But this knife it really, really cool – and it’s 1 of 1 – the only Hot Sauce Blog Knife in existence! 🙂 A big public chilehead thank you to the reader that sent this in.

    Happy Birthday from Danny Cash Corporate Headquarters! Your car insurance just went down, man! That was the last thing you had to look forward to and now it’s over. You probably don’t even own a car living in Manhattan.

    Happy Birthday Nick! Although I usally don’t like any one that much younger then I. But, being I met you first, I will forget you are 16 years younger then me! Hope you wippersnapper has a great day!

  15. Lee@DC Avatar

    “Hope you wippersnapper has a great day! ”
    Dude, Jodie, want to explain that?? LOL

    First, Lee, I am a Dudette! 😉 LOL I was just making fun of him. A “whippersnapper” (maybe I spelled it wrong, is what the old folk call, or used to, us younger folk. (Although I was getting my drivers permit when Nick was born!) I am surprised you never heard that phrase before!

    Happy Birthday Nick! 25?! No offense, but I thought you were older than me (being a respectable business man and all). Well, you’ve managed to live a quarter century. May the next quarter century be as fruitful as the last. Have a good one and keep on rock’n!

  18. Lee@DC Avatar

    [Comment ID #24425 Quote]Sorry, Dudette.
    I have heard that phrase before, just never with sexual connotations, you perv.

    Nice knife too. Is it signed and numbered by the sender or is that a secret?

  23. Mrs.Ryan Avatar

    seems to be a secret for now…but even if it’s not signed and numbered it’s a pretty unique gift to receive. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK.

    Happy Birthday Nick!! You should start the celebrating today, do a sort of Nick-fest, a little party/celebration each day leading up to a big blow out on the weekend. You deserve it, you seem to work really hard and have your hands in a lot of projects- savor and enjoy it!!!

    Happy B-day. That is a great knife (even better with HSB on it). Kershaw makes an awsome product. I use a few Ken Onion designed chef knives for special events (not daily line abuse). I love them.

    Great gift idea! Looks good as well. Happy Birthday man! You have done quite well it seems for the first 25 so keep on!!!

    Happy Birthday Nick. My gosh you’re only 25 and look what you have accomplished so far – truly remarkable.

    Unlike Jodie I am not going to state exactly how many years older than you I am – Let’s just say I have a son your age and leave it at that.
