Starfish the Good

[Gary W. Graley]

I've been in conversation, both IM and phone, for a while now with Matthew and he is really getting the Steel Virus Bad !, started with Sebenza, through a Calypso into a BM43 and now a BM940, [Color=Royal Blue]Blue[/Color] no less! Plus a few others that I hear he picked up, so he is well on his way to getting a nice collection running and he just found his sharpmaker the other day and has the bare arm to prove it...well I arrived home today and found a nice padded envelope from CRK, I thought? I didn't order anything from them? and it was an order that Matthew place for me as a thankyou of sorts for helping with knife type things and a tube of the CRK flourinated grease, Thanks Matthew! I'm off to lube!!!

Ah, you're welcome Gary. Glad it made it to you in time for that special day

As everyone else here already knows, Gary is one of the GOOD! Takes the time to educate a new guy on steel, sharpening, and blade shapes (or maybe I should say indoctrinating the new guy to like Wharncliffes )...a little present was the least I could for all of that! Strange to think that a phone call to inquire about a sheath could turn into 4 months of follow-up phone calls, IM and emails...but that's what BFC is all about, good people talking about great knives!

Here's wishing you a happy birthday!

Matthew

P.S. I'll work on that complimentary Mnandi

What a great thread! Starfish, Gary's always been one of the very BEST on these forums and you don't sound too shabby yourself!

I love that Gary highlighted the BM 940. What a really nice piece and ESPECIALLY in blue! Sounds like you have a wonderful collection going on!

Gary, I must have missed it but HAPPY BIRTHDAY bud! What, it's your 60th? 63?
