WOW What a day! That Delete/Move button works quite well now!

Happy New Year everyone!

And a special toast to James Mattis.
Thank you my friend for all the great times you have shared with us all and your uncanny ability to difuse a situation. You are truly missed.

To James Mattis and Bob Irons:

Gone but certainly not forgotten. I miss the humor, sage advice and ability of both men to make sense out of this passion we have.

To them, BFC and members....Happy New Mellenium.

Happy New Year All. I hope this is the best year yet of better ones to come for each of you and yours.

Like Greg I miss James and Bob dearly they were friends that made me a better person and those do not come along as often as I would like them too.

Happy New Year to all and a heartfelt moment of silence for those who've passed.

Salud!

I was glad to see that James was mentioned in the latest issue of Blade. Under Gone But Not Forgotten (p. 68). How true it is.

Hoodoo

I get some pleasure from finding a relentlessly peaceful use for a combative looking knife.

To James, whom I hope to see on the other side someday!!
To Mike and Spark for giving us this web site and putting up with the stuff that goes on here!!!
God Bless you Forumites and I pray the coming year is kinder and better than the last!
I think this is the most special time of the year as it gives us all hope that things will get better!

------------------
Take care!! Michael

Always think of your fellow knife makers as partners in the search for the perfect blade, not as people trying to compete with you and your work!

One for James, didn't know him but sure enjoyed reading his wisdom.

One for Mike and Spark, as L6 says for putting up with all of this garbage and not freaking out on our freakouts.

One for everyone, that we can all meet each other in this life, and the next.
