Thank you so much Kevin and Karen, that was my favorite knife out the JS set. I felt like it was the cleanest and had fulfilled the vision in my head.
We are extremely humbled and shocked to see the encouragement and help everyone has so instantly offered. No-one deserves this kind of thing and we sure never expected it. The truth is that because of what you've all done we have hope already to begin again. We're not that special, two bladesmiths among thousands, the world with surely go on just fine without our knives, the way you all believe in us is crazy.
Thank you again Steven, Ben and Kearney for your time and effort. I know you have plenty of work without being the hub for this kind of thing. You guys are just too good to be true.
