As a birthday present I gave Barb L. a Syderco Delica knife and a one day Defensive Folding Knife class from Insights Training.

This video was taken when she learned what she could do with it on a piece of meat covered with two layers of clothing:

There was also a birthday card, cake, dinner, and some other things included but this is the portion of her birthday most on topic for this blog (and suitable for public consumption).

Slightly off topic is that the Instructor is someone I have talked about numerous times on this blog. Here are some posts that mention him. There are others as well:

• Quote of the day—John Fogh (“Nothing says, ‘Please don’t rape me…’”)
• Quote of the day—John Fogh (“It is a historical constant that the strong rule the weak…’”)
• Gotcha! (Interaction with Washington Ceasefire)

Barb and I had lunch with John and we had an interesting conversation. He has had some unusual jobs recently. Some were extremely boring, but that was actually part of the interesting part.

Update: The second link to the QOTD by John has been fixed.
