The wife unit and I are planning a two-week trip to Europe next year and are planning to go through Cologne (Koln). I can see a side-trip to Solingen (perhaps stay the night) since its like a suburb of Koln. "Oh look Honey, what cool knives... Can we get say...ten?" I can always send them back to the states via USPS Priority Flat Rate from the APO on one of the USAF bases there (having base access as retired military). Custom Form annotation: '10-Place Steak Knives Set'...(because they can also be used for that). Ha!
Yeah, I'm sure this will go over like a fart in church as I married an Accountant that watches my spending like a hawk. Albeit she hasn't yet caught on to the 'missing' $910.00 last month for the new P8A1 that I got from the Attic (purchase & shipping). Told her late last year that I was all done with buying any more guns. I can only keep up the distraction 'Oh look, Squirrel' for so long...
