Well, I'm a little late to the party, but don't want to miss my chance to congratulate you on work well done and say thanks for another informative and enjoyable thread. The knives all look great, and with 3 in reserve you should be set for all contingencies. Good luck anyhow. I really like the "Alaska theme", by the way.
My daughter loves her new ulu and the Steller sea cow connection to home. She's quite the chef and I guarantee it'll get a lot of use. She just popped out my first grandchild, a girl, after weeding in the garden only 2 days earlier. I hope her kid grows up as tough as she is.
Amazingly early spring this year. Hope you were able to try out a winter's batch of flies when the ice went out. Enjoy the Show!
