I am not a professional knifemaker

Haha good point on the riverbed...this one is in the middle of nowhere, about 2 days hike from a highway, so im hoping that never happens in hindsight!!!

No blade for me this year. I am a part-time maker and would have to save up knives for a year to fill a table! One of these years, though.... :)
 
Well, if you decide to come down as a mere spectator there is a room available at the Roy household.

It's good to know that some things have no price.

A "Sarge" knife is known to be an item of great value. By slapping a price on them the value is lessened.

Now, if someone has a Sarge knife, they know it's because, one way or another, the craftsman wanted them to have it. That is much more powerful than an exchange for currency. Even the ones that were sold for Ram were, in the maker's word, gifts.

If you could buy it, you couldn't buy it.

Lessoned to whom for what reasons? While I understand both intellectually and intuitively the point you are making, and am personally very fond of the position, it is not 'true'.
.... Howard; are you a romantic?

I think this is true for us, but certainly not all of 'us'. Sure is well said and well thought of.

Very interesting. If something has power, and an individual can't perceive it, is it really powerful?

I've known some pretty tough and practical military guys to talk about "good juju." It was real for them. The effects of their actions were real for others. Were their "powerful" items really powerful, or did they just have some sort of good psychological effect on the owner?

It may be a good question to ask a shaman. You might get different answers. If it translates to effects in the real world of actions does it matter?

It is said that you can't buy love. Maybe that's wrong and you can. Would such purchased love be equally as valuable as the freely given love of a woman who would never sell her love for money?

Perhaps for some it would. Why is it that for many like me, and you, the two would never be equal?

A very good point, and worthy of consideration.
 
I'm sitting here wondering how abstract I want to be- how nihilistic. All values are not equal, in the sense men assign value to meet emotional and survivial needs. It is an obligation of men to assign value, not just a tyranny.

It is not a game. We can go a ways- you burn a flag that turns my stomach to watch; but burn a jew and I'll take up arms against you.

Right now in the West we are going again through the repeated cycle of asking; 'how dare you make a moral judgement?"

How dare we not?

Anyway, if a man as honorable and good as Sarge gave a knife to a person, it would have a value greater to me than any numerical one I could think of- in that friendship and the bounds of love are greater than things.
To me.
And to most of us here, thank God.

I have three Sarge knives. They three are my favorite knives, and my sharpest, and the only "customs" I currently own. The whole set is invaluable because I'll never sell them, and they have a LOT of cutting to do. I wanna use them for years until the steel has worn away like a worry stone. The price I paid for the third doesn't lessen its value, it went to help someone, and is irrelevant to the value of the knife. That knife's value is in my heart, and its worth its weight in gold I'll tell ya.

I'm glad you're keeping it a hobby Sarge. For one reason, the results are sublime.;)

Way over my head. :)
