It was really getting ridiculous this year... everyone kept calling me Gary! I know we're twins, but c'mon... the smattering of freckles across my nose and cheeks should be the dead giveaway. Next year we're getting shirts made up to differentiate us...
 
Matt this is hands down the best thread that I have seen in along time

With all the sad and messed up threads lately this one is what the custom knife world is all about

I found myself smileing as I rolled down and saw people I know and don't know.

The pic of Peter and Roger I am printing it is fantastic and I mean no offense to either

Great photography


Thanks Buddy
 
great thread, I'm with Joe on that one!
Love the captions regarding Roger's singing lessons, that done cracked me up!:D
 
Thanks, Matt!

Like the rest of the pack here, I enjoyed perusing every photo. Quite a bit of the 'up close and personal' shots to make it compelling.

I only wish there was a video of the Collector's discussion. Maybe in the future.

Use it and enjoy it, of course! And don't wait - it's already getting on four days old... ;)

Coop - a discussion is what it was. Peter and I had prepared an admittedly optimisitic 12 presentation points. Matt looked at my notes at lunch just before our time slot and said "You'll be lucky to get through 4 of these." I thought we'd manage 6 or 7. The questions came at a relentless pace from the word go and we managed 5 before someone hit the gong. :)

I wouldn't have had it any other way and I suspect Peter feels the same. It was really interesting to hear exactly what was on the makers' minds. I also wish there was a video - because while I have detailed presentation notes, half the content at least came from the floor. And you'd also get to hear my beautiful tenor voice! :D

Matt - next time it's "O Danny Boy" - just for you.
