Just wanted to give a huge thanks to all who stopped by the table and chatted with me. I was truly amazed at the amount of gentlemen (USN members) that had nerve to come up to me after all the hooplah that has transpired over the past couple years 
. I really and sincerely appreciate those of you that took the time to maybe get to know me a little better. Or just to share our enthusiasm for knives with some polite conversation. Much obliged to you. 
Of course to all the knifemakers who I chatted with who were absolutely top notch! and the show patrons and Bladeforums members that stopped by and said hello and/or purchased a karambit. You all encouraged me to keep coming up with more designs and get more work out there. To all the order people, thank you so much as well.
Here's just a quick shout out to a few I had some contact with that deserve praise:
Craig Douglas and the fine ladies at Shivworks.com who by the way offer kickass instruction and tools.
Strider fellas, although I hadn't the chance to chat, Josh was and has always been a good supporter of my work and I owe him big. Even though he wise cracks about my new jack handle wraps.
The Jones Brothers, for being true gentleman and as diplomatic as possble as well as making excellent knives.
Tom Krein, also for being a gentleman and a kickass knifemaker.
Garth Thompson, a fine Canadian knifemaker indeed and an all round great guy. Thanks for the Gunkote tips and no meat for me thank you

Steve Ryan for being excessivley cool in taking us out for dinner! and sharing his knifemaking expertise. As well as music knowledge!
Peter Atwood and company for making kick ass knives and pry baby's as wEll as having good musical knowledge and being just a great guy. Hit me off when you come to NYC!
