Thanks for all the kind words, guys!


There are some days that I wonder if I have spent more time typing, checking/updating orders, etc....than I have making the actual knives!!!!

I can't even imagine how you keep up with it all Dan.........

..... much less make any knives.

You are to be commended.......... :thumbup:

You need a secretary. Or was that a photo of your secretary climbing the rocks. After a long day of babysitting a couple of old crotchety knifemakers

I was going to post pics of a trip I took last summer to Slate Peak in WA. It's up past Hart's pass which is supposed to be WA's highest elevation maintained road. You start out of Mazama, WA and go from there. Anyways, we passed this guy on a bike out of Mazama and Autumn and I were thinking, "who is this idiot and why is he out riding his bike on this narrow, dusty, rutted, potholed dirt road???" We drove on up to the top (about 15 miles if I remember correctly) to where you park before you make the final assault on the lookout. You park and then walk up another half mile (several hundred feet climb, somewhere between a 45 and 60 degree climb - paved path so just lots of pauses to catch your breath) to where they blasted off the mountain top during the cold war for a radar station.

To make a long story a little shorter. We were up there for 30 minutes or so taking pictures and just taking in the scenery when we saw this little dot on the path moving our way. Sure enough, it was the guy on the bike. He made it to the top. Sat down and had a drink and an energy bar, but on his coat and started back down the mountain. Just to do it!

Anyways...

Good show, Dan!
