Yes in deed. I got better sleep in there than anytime the whole weekend.

Just Kidding. Seriously, it's highly recommended for collectors of all levels and for all types of custom knives.

Hi Kevin,

I understand, sometimes I nod off when Bob is speaking as well.

LOL

Kevin, didn't want to steal your thunder...don't forget the Sunday Seminar.

I'm glad that I'll actually have the time to attend a few of these this time around.

I always lose track of time and some how miss the ones I want to attend. Hoping for better luck this year.

Putting a plug in for Flavio Ikoma's Autocad class. Flavio stayed with us for two weeks to learn some modern folder making techniques and in turn taught Todd how to maximize his autocad. The man really knows Autocad, and is a great teacher.
