I'm not much for TV; haven't watched for decades unless I was stuck in a motel for work. But I read a lot, and as I get older I find myself with multiple copies of the same books. So, since you're all stuck inside, and the idiot box is still running the same shows they were 20 years ago, I'll provide something much more entertaining than 20 minutes of commercials broken by a laugh track.

But, this comes with a warning. It's much more likely to cause you to lust after things not normally confined to W&C, it might actually teach you something, and for those of you old enough to remember, it's probably better than the Sears Christmas Catalog in keeping you up nights.

Rules:

1. You have to enter. Can't win otherwise.
2. The receiving shipping address has to be somewhere on this planet.
3. Enter as many times as you like, but every entry has to contain a photo. (No, I don't care what the photo is of...)

Disclaimer: You can't blame me later if you sell the truck to buy a knife (with or without your significant others permission.) Likewise, I am not responsible for any other depression issues you may experience after this arrives.

Here's a sneak peak just so you know what you're getting into. You have been warned.

I dont watch TV either..unless it's the rare College Football game. And most of the time I'm backpacking during football season. I read a lot..and thanks to Kindle, I can read anywhere..

This is of course not an entry.
I remember well working on these knives, now many years ago. It was a pleasure working with Ron Lake. We collaborated on several pieces after these. This is a great book with some outstanding photography of spectacular knives.
 
Wolfgang -

Is your daughter still doing knives? I seem to remember something about that. I used to go to Blade 10-15 years ago and that's still sticking in my mind. Always liked your "carving". Haven't seen Ron in 3-4 years (OKCA Show), but always learned something from talking with him. Love the knives; high on my "want" list.

Yes, my daughter is still making knives full time. I believe Ron has limited the shows he participates in. I am slowing down as well, attending a very limited number of shows. Just can't work the many hours I once did.
Sorry for somewhat highjacking this thread with my comments, but I think the book is a very generous give-away.
