Grail knife: a very special 'thank you'

[Old & In The Way]

Beautiful knife, and an even better story. Very cool.

You know, I've never been "into" traditional knives before I started reading here. That's a beautiful knife, and an awesome gesture.

Wow! Thank you Lady and Gentlemen.
Im just so happy to share my joy with you all. And Ive also been very lucky to be gifted knives here, Im just paying forward to pay back. Thanks to Charlie for a Soupbone Clip gift. And thanks to Pete for my beautiful Camillus Barlow.

Andre, thanks for the kind words and beautiful pictures. Your sincere reaction of gratitude is most appreciated. Im sure you are already touching lives and sharing the positive ripples of kindness that unite us.

Thanks to all of you for your friendship. Maybe post pictures here of knives you've been gifted, lets make this thread not just about me, and more about the outstanding generosity of our group. The effects of a small kindness can outlive us.

My apologies for missing this. Jon- good on you- what a fantastic gesture.

Thanks Duncan! Im following your example:

Nice gesture, Jon.
I see these knives selling for double their initial price, so seeing this gesture is positively amazing!

[quote: shrapne1]Makes one wonder what Charlie feels like; to know that he created something so beautiful and functional that has brought joy and delight to the people using it? [end quote]

Makes me feel wonderful. The goal has always been to create that feeling one gets when finding a real nice old timey knife, without having to pay $300, $400, or more for it.
