I have to be honest, the thumb ramp on this new knife and talon look exactly like a Horton, when I saw the similarities... I couldn't help but think this was a jab from Jerry to Horton. A way of Jerry reaffirming even his older designs as his. I'm sure I'm wrong. Right?

YOWZA!!!!. . . . You're right. . . . You are wrong!

I really dig Jeremy's designs and appreciate that they are so uniquely his own.

I used to put either hand filed or saw cut thumb grooves in many of my early designs and did these with the CNC. . . If anything, I was influenced by Jeremy's CNC'd thumb grooves. . . . They are Very cool ! ! ! ! :thumbup:

This design is one of my oldest and one of my favorites. . . . In fact, I have one that I made for Jennifer's dad in '92. He always joked that it was the most valuable knife in the world because I got his daughter and he got the knife! I got it back 2 years ago after he passed away.

I'll post some pics tomorrow. . .

Jerry :D

Well, that's it, my boy.

Your immediate destiny has been settled.

You ... are a knifemaker!:eek:

I hope this isn't a surprise (not that it really matters -- the die is cast).:)

That is cool! Great story Jerry, and congrat to Jeremy for being so favored by the big guy :thumbup:
 
This chat about Jerry and Jeremy reminds me of the scene in 'Pumping Iron' where they're asking Arnold about Lou. If you know the film then you'll know what I mean.

About 7,30 onwards. The King of the Hill speech.
