Well, again thank you all who commented, and I wanted to say personally to Thad that I'm glad you saw the discussion, and signed up to the forum to comment. Your work has been mentioned here more and more frequently over the last few years. In this one case only, I feel comfortable speaking for others. "Welcome, and please come back now and then."
Thad, something else I wanted to convey to you. I got a lot of emails, and messages through the "private message" feature on the this forum after I posted the photo's of your knives. This has never happened before to any degree. Some wanted to purchase them, some shared photo's of similar knives you have made, etc.. However, almost every single one that was sent by people that have met, or worked, with you, mentioned what nice standup people you and your wife are. I just wanted you to know that.... Best Regards, Rich
