Sorry to hear this, Bill. Here's hoping your prognosis remains good, and your recovery is quick.

Well, seems like this sub/sub-forum is slowly disintegrating. I was recently diagnosed with melanoma cancer and I've been a little out of touch for the past few weeks. Overall prognosis is good but there will be some recovery required. Also some immunotherapy. Recent scans have been clean. I'll be on and off the computer for awhile. I wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

I'm so sorry to hear that.Please get well and kick melenoma's ass!

Been there, done that - was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma back in '95. Immunotherapy wasn't fun, but it's supposedly not as bad as chemotherapy. Best of luck to you, may your scans continue to be clear.

Thanks to all who are wishing me well. I appreciate it very much.

Thanks to all who are wishing me well. I appreciate it very much.

I have a slightly different way than some, I don't believe in luck, the way I was taught you claim victory over it. So in that way I'll say, congratulations on beating the snot outta melanoma looking forward to your post reporting free and clear

I like your style and I like my chances - good prognosis so far. Thx for the encouraging words.

A shout out again for photos of your gunstock knives!

Beautiful knives folks. I don't believe I even own one...

I don't own a knife with better action. Fit & finish is superb, too. The cutlers of the day were truly masters of their craft.

Great looking slim profile knife.

I bought this one from Mike Alsdorf at a knife show in 2015. Gunstock Interframe with Mother of Pearl and CPM-154 blade.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm not sure what Mike is up to these days. He was on the list to attend a recent show in January but he wasn't there. A couple members of the club that sponsors the show told me that he hasn't attended a club meeting since early 2019. I too hope he is doing well and still making knives.
