Hi all,

Mastersmith Mike Williams got in touch late last week and asked me to post pictures and information on an auction knife to be sold by the ABS on Friday evening June 8, 2001 at the ABS auction.

This stunningly nice San Francisco style dagger was made entirely by Mike and engraved by Billy Bates.

More details and additional pics can be found at:

Congrats to Mike and Billy on a terrific knife project and I hope it raises a lot of money to help this knifemakers organization

It's OK Neil

. It goes to a good cause.
Man is that beautiful. Says a lot when a maker takes the time to do something like that and then turn around and give it to the A.B.S.

I am really looking forward to the dinner and the aution on Friday.
