Thanks for the pic though you are hurt. Mind if I ask, what happened?
Cervical spondylosis resulting in pinched nerves stretching down from the spine part on the left side of my neck down to my fingers. It hurts so much at first and I was in cold sweat and extreme pain 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Such a bad pain I could not eat and neither could I sleep. Pain killers, jabs and muscle relaxants did nothing to relief the pain. It was so bad I don't have the mood to open up the box my 5.1 came in for about a week. It's slightly more than two months now and the pain is not as severe but the entire left arm is now currently numb. I can see the knife slicing cleaning off newsprints after newsprints but I just can't feel the sharpness when touching the edge. Been though countless sessions of therapy and progress is unbelievably slow but I am hopeful that one day I will be able to really play with my 5.1.
Forgot I had this pic before I sold my spare & shipped my buddy his.

Neil,
Just so I can get the colour balance in my mind right, between your pics, the Bone Linen handles are the same handles in both pics, correct? If so, did you switch the fasteners between the jade and linen? Or are they the same but it's just the lighting?
Thanks!
Sharp eye Justin. I did swap the fasteners. The final combo was jade/tumbled and bone/black. In that second picture with all three knives, they were reversed. All pics were with an iPhone under fluorescent office lights, so they're pretty bad by default.
I'm sorry to hear this, and of course I wish you a speedy recovery.

Nice! Is that an invisible knife with latest camouflaged technology? Lol!
Awesome. Glad you've got your sense of humor still, Andy! Many prayers for your recovery :thumbup:
Do we just email the powers-that-be (namely Ms. Ellie) and burden them?
