I'd like to make this post to share my latest acquisition and publicly thank the guy who so generously gifted it to me.

About a week ago, sitflyer PM'd me and asked for my address, saying he had something he wanted to share with me. Well, his package arrived today and it contained this beauty:

As it turns out, I had complimented Duane on this knife in the "what are you carrying" thread. As his thoughtful letter explained, the knife came into his care as a badly abused Kutmaster TL-29. Duane disassembled it, removed the unusable screwdriver blade and messed up spring, made it all nice and purty, and put some beautiful Shedua wood covers on it.

This knife punches a lot of my buttons - spear point, wood, half stops, and an opening snap that is crisp and loud.

Included in the package were also a couple cool coins from the Bahamas and Dutch Antilles. Apparently, I'm developing a Bladeforums international coin collection, too. :thumbup:

I'd like to thank Duane for this unexpected kindness. Here I am, having never met this guy in person, and he up and sends me a knife that he put so much time and care in. This kind of sharing is what makes this place so great.
 
Great gesture Duane, a lovely knife to another great Tradionals regular :)
 
What a wonderful gesture, Duane! It really turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing, Blaine
 
Duane is a great guy! That´s a nice gesture from him. And it´s a beautiful knife that he sent to you :) Congratz, Blaine! Great act of generosity, Duane :)
 
i have been on here for awhile, lurking a lot and posting some. One thing I have noticed is that Duane aka known as Sitflyer is that he has a lot of talent modifying traditional knives. The way he rounds off, and thinning some of his knives is great work. He is able to do his work and does not change the usuability of the knife, just makes them sit in the pocket a lot better. Just some fantastic work. Duane you have some God given talent that you put to good use. Keep up the good work.
Good on you for sharing a great knife with a great forum member.

Thats a great looking knife Blaine!.... good on you, and Duane ( as Paul has already said ) you did a great job, I wish I had that talent!
I agree with what everyone has said about Duane, I enjoy reading his posts, and he is a stand up guy-well done to both, such good reading!!
