At the recent Guild show I got to ogle a knife made by Tony that belonged to Don Hanson III.
I was impressed by the fact that I could not see a line at the solder joint. With constant small
cutoffs from my integral milled frames I took another shot at it and am very happy with the
results. This does not mean that I won't continue to make integral bolsters. It means if they
are soldered I will tell you so.
