I am finally starting to feel better although I am not over the "crud". I have been sick for two weeks so things are going a lot slower in the shop but I feel better in the shop than sitting in the house doing nothing.
A lot of the knives in this group are "requests" so they won't be up for sale but they are turning out to be a great group of knives.
One knife is a real disappointment though and the reason I almost never work with Obsidian. As I do such a tight fit on the stone Obsidian is a "high risk" stone as it is basically volcanic glass. I must have allowed one knife to heat up too much and I have a crack in the Obsidian. I probably have only used Obsidian 6 or 7 times and this is the second to crack in polishing. So, that is why I almost never use Obsidian as it just is such a risk for failure.....
