Book Collection:MikeDuke

[MikeDuke]

That’s a nice book (the story, I mean).

Thanks. I am looking forward to getting to the Baker part of my collection.

[MikeDuke]

OK, here is some stuff I have had and I am just getting around to putting them up. First is a gift from Luc. He sent me a PM one day saying would I like a FREE S\L Barker Thief of always. He said the only issue was a defect with the slip case. I said sure I would. And I am happy to have this in my Barker collection.




and this one shows the slight issue with the case which to honest, I had to look for

I want to thank Luc again for such a nice gift.
And The Inhuamn Condition

[MikeDuke]

Now this next item needs a little explanation. One day, I think it was Jeff said that Paul should make a Suntup cane. I think every body had a laugh and I said I would use it for sure because I use one anyway.
Then, out of the blue Paul emailed me and ask how high my current cane was and if I was right or left handed. So I wrote back and told him. A smarter person would have figured out where this was going
but I just thought it was odd idle talk. Well, I was wrong because a few weeks later I got this in the mail.





I mean, is that not bad ass or what. I freaking love this thing and use it all the time and I have received may compliments
on it. So thanks Paul. This just shows how good a person you really are.

I’d be a liar if I said I didn’t get a little choked up at the awesome generosity of both Paul and Luc!!!! So absolutely wonderful. Really the best people are right here. Thanks for sharing these stories Mike. And kudos to Paul and Luc!

I have the eerie feeling that cane is watching me!

[MikeDuke]

When I saw the detail, I was amazed. I did not even notice the Suntup insignia until a few days after I had it. That was the icing on the cake.

I'm glad you enjoy the book, Mike. I bought a copy of the 25th Anniversary Edition of Thief and, owing to my one-copy-per-book rule, that meant the older S/L edition had to go. Rather than go through the hassle of selling it, I decided I'd rather give it away to someone who I was sure would appreciate it. From looking through this thread a few times, I knew you had a Barker collection going on, so I figured I'd ask you first.

[MikeDuke]

Well I certainly appreciate it. It is now on my Barker shelf.

A M A Z I N G !!!

Thanks Frank. Yea, I keep on saying it but to see it in person is very impressive. The amount of detail on the skull is impressive.

That's an amazing gift indeed, Mike and well deserved! Good for you, my friend

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Brian. Yea, it is cool for sure.

Congrats on the great gift from Paul, Mike, another Suntup special edition for sure!

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Vincent. Yea, it really is special. The entire design is so cool. Also, the fact that it is right handed only, I had a right handed one years ago but it was just a slant on the grip to make it
fit the right hand. This has that, BUT it also has these sort of groves for your fingers to naturally fit in. It's like it was made for my hand which I don't know how that's possible since
Paul did not take a mold of my hand and even my partially amputated index finger fits right in the grip with comfort. I am impressed with it for sure.

Holy shit... Dude. That is the sickest bloody cane in existence. And, it's clearly cursed....
Love it (and nice work Paul...)

Well, I don't go surfing so I should be OK (old reference if you get it ). But yea Antoni, it's pretty bad-ass.

It actually worked lol.

[MikeDuke]

Yea, I know it did. I may add that to my sig just in case someone new comes along as a way to get to the first page. I know you can just hit first, but who knows.

[MikeDuke]

I have something good (at least I think so on Monday or Tuesday). Excited for this one.
