Damn Bill , you need to take a vacation . I hear DisneyLand down in Florida is nice these days ;)

Nice looking piece .
 
Bill,

I just opened the package and couldn't be happier. For a "beat around" knife the fit and finish is excellent. The knife arrived truly RAZOR sharp and cuts fuzzies thinner than I've ever seen. The blade is a little shorter than I thought I was initially looking for but in the hand it seems just perfect. Just as important as the blade is to me, is the handle. I can't give a long term use review yet but it certainly seems like the handle fits my medium sized hands perfectly. I am definitely impressed so far.

Thank you!

Chad
