I knew this thread was going to be fun. Well worth giving away a knife. Can I sense you guys are getting pumped up for World Series of Knives? Yah Betacha! Me too.

There are some great TOP 10 lists here so I'm glad I don't have to pick the winner. Lets run this thread through the week and then I'll open up a voting thread on Monday the 15th. Until then keep um comin.

As far as the Cosmos being on display don't hold your breath, but we do have a real nice picture of it on our website. If a picture is worth a thousand words then I guess when we finally do have the Cosmos ready you can call it a book.

Also thanks to Tim H. for the nice picture. It even looks good censored.

Darrel please offer my congrats to Ralph Jr. I look forward to see his work.

Looking forward to meet you too Rob as well as all other Forumites I've been exchanging with and have not seen in person.

It's always good to put the name and face together. That is unless they have really bad breath.
