WOW! You must have been an extra good boy this year to have Santa bring you this.
Oh..Um..You might ought to wipe off the blade, I just drooled all over it.

If a man can keep alert and imaginative, an error is a possibility, a chance at something new; to him, wandering and wondering are a part of the same process. He is most mistaken, most in error, whenever he quits exploring.

As to who made the bolsters...well, I have both Fiorini and Eggerling cited... the 1st by the seller and the 2nd by Ralph Turnbull. I am double checking.

The blade is Darryl Meier (sp?) "jellyroll" and is unique in that the wavy bits are rolled out... Same steel ashis "caterpillar" knife.
The ruby is 1/3rd carat Burmese.

I am psyched as I have three more customs on the way from RT!
