Rick your work has a wonderful rustic, yet refined quality and your style just keeps getting more refined with each new addition. And, your blades are the sharpest things to come down the pike since the Samurai sword.

Great stuff buddy!!

Rick - Thanks for the kind words. I might do that, but its at the risk of muddying up the crystal clear waters of this forum stream. My work doesn't hold a candle to some of the work I see here, including yours.

edit: I just tried to create a new thread and I was not permitted to do so in this forum. Any particular reason why? Do I need to be registered as a "Knifemaker" or "Basic Member"?
