Thanks Shane. I appreciate it. I enjoy making knives, and enjoy sharing them, and sharing knowledge with my fellow knifemakers. I have come to the conclusion that I have never met a nicer bunch of folks than those poor souls who are hooked on making blades. Wonderful people they are, and so are those great people who have faith enough to buy our meager offerings.
