Congrats to all who made it into KNIVES 2005!

I see a LOT of you guys have knives pictured in this years beautiful full color edition of KNIVES annual.
Some names I've never seen in there before. I spent part of the afternoon going thru it and it seemed like every other page I was seeing folks that post here.

Salute and great job one and all!

I was one of the lucky ones. On page 74 is a pic of one of mine. My name is mispelled in the directory, Grossman instead of Gossman.

Scott,
You got fortunate in one other respect in that you didn't get a really inane quip next to your name like I see on so many other makers' stuff for the last couple of years.

For example, on page 79 the editor said this about one of Scott Slobodian's magnificent katanas: "The Whirlpool" is full of waves and piping hot!" Reads like a feeble attempt at haiku to me.

But seriously, congrats on making the grade!

This year's edition of KNIVES is far and away the most beautiful I've ever seen and I'm hoping this is a trend that continues.

Tess and I were both lucky enough to have a couple pix in this year. I don't think they stand up to some of the knives around them but, I'll keep trying. There's some great knives and great folks in that book.
