Hello out there, I have been waiting for 5 years now for a bunch of knives myself, so this info I take with a gallon dose of castor oil. I will only say this one more time, for my own benefit, and that is I hate to see such talented work go to waste. Not only are many fine individuals hurting, but quite a few online shops are having trouble too moving their corkum stock . They have many fine knives of his for sale, however his reputation precedes him. If I hear anthing important, I will post it, however being as frustrated as I am with this whole thing, I won`t bore any more of the readers, with my gripes. Thanks so very much for all the input. oldone.
