That's a nice knife, from an era when Stan was in his mature prime!! Stan is hardly working any more due to age and poor health. I doubt he will finish his orders. You have a treasure there!

Real nice knife you'll be able to treasure and pass down in years to come. Good luck with it.

I just checked again, and I can still see the pics! Beautiful knife!! Last Confederate, you have a computer problem maybe?

Thanks for the comments guys. I never knew of Stan until I read the book that Tweedale wrote about him. I thought the pieces that they showed in the book were astonishing and never dreamed I would ever get to own any of his work. Just so happens that J.Bruce Voyles had this piece on his web site at a very reasonable price so I jumped at the chance.
