Sure, but just give me a few months to practice.
 
Gerry, you just keep coming up with beautiful surprises! We never know what your next "jewel" is going to be like! You are an artist of a bladesmith with a sense of adventure! Keep up the good work!
 
Don't you know that a forging addiction will make you go blind!

"I promise I will only do it until I need glasses" (Wasn't that something we used to say in the locker room in Jr. High?)
 
WOW. I've never bought a $400 knife, but I would have tonight. Thank you, and congrats, to whoever saved me. Beautiful work, Gerry!
 
SOLD?!? Alright, who bought this beauty!?

It went to a gentleman who saw it at the Charlotte show last weed-end. I agreed to hold it for him until after Christmas when he will pick it up. I will re-post the knife if something comes up and he doesn't complete the transaction.
