Dietmar Kressler Natural Tortoise Shell Folder

David, I would say that Coop's first "proof" was almost exactly as seen in your book "The Great Collections".

Kevin, the final image was toned down in sharpness at my request, and came out exactly like I wanted it. It was more like what I saw when handling the knife, exposing it's different looks at different angles at every twist of the wrist.

Bottom line, it's a gorgeous work by two masters and I am delighted to have it.

Have you decided if you're gonna keep it or not?

Hey guys: No lame excuses here. I just edit until the client is happy.

Well, since it seems that everyone that counts is
happy and delighted, then, being basically optimistic
deep down - I am happy too....

Thanks Bob and Coop!

All the best,

Have you decided if you're gonna keep it or not?

Being a realist, I would certainly sell the Kressler if the price were right.

But so far, I have leaned toward retaining it. I believe that my desire to do so will increase, having learned about it's inclusion in David's "The Great Collections".

But there is a long story involving it's acquisition that complicates the issue, so the real answer is - I just don't know.

Considering that it is the only scrimmed knife I have ever really liked, I kinda have a feeling I will keep it.

Anyone who wants to discuss this one further can PM me and we can take it from there. So with that, I'll just close the thread.
