Very Cool!!!!!!

That is incredibly gorgeous. Fantastic work. By far without a doubt one of the nicest knives I've seen on BF. Would you be willing/able to make a cross draw sheath (wear on my right side and draw with my LH) for it in place of the RH sheath?

I think that is the nicest piece I've seen you post

Ive been open mouthed all day on this forum. Yet another one. If I had not been buying a lot lately I would have made ms Nobu a very very mad lady.

My post and email were both in an hour before it sold. I feel as though you both should have respected that. If you had answered my email, it would have been a done deal. I'll pass on your offer.

bones555,
The for sale post was very concise, the first I'll take it in the post has it. You never committed or posted I'll take it, and I did answer your email. I'm at work and can't check my personal messages anytime I wish.
I'm sorry if your upset but I have to honor what I posted.
Joe

I did not receive an email. I am not faulting you by any means. It was very clear that I wanted to take it if you would change the sheath. If the situation was the other way around, I would have asked to take back up. Let's just go on.

Bones, I'm sorry to know that you feel that my purchase was unfair or lacking in respect for you. It is my experience here on the Forum that a knife offered can be sold seconds before my reply indicating "I'll take it" is posted. If I see something that I wish to purchase then I know I shouldn't hesitate for long. In retrospect, it is most likely that someone else would have purchased the knife in the interum while you waited for a response from Mr. Hoover because he was busy. Sometimes people are away from their computer and this forum for long periods...hours perhaps. I pushed the button with these thoughts in mind. To wait for responses when wanting to make a purchase is to take a chance at missing the opportunity.
