Thanks to the Posters and to Salem Straub

[CM Forge]

It takes time (a lot of it!) and effort to write and describe the various processes in knifemaking, or in any other field or topic for that matter. I appreciate the tutorials and advice that many post on this forum, and enjoy gleaning what I can from the wisdom (and wit) of others. I always, repeat always learn something, and usually leave the computer with a smile on my face. It is a great way to start a day.

All of that said, I wanted to extend a special thank you to Salem Straub. The seemingly endless stream of information he provides to this forum, as well as on his website is a testament to him and the kindness of his heart. I am certain that his advice, opinions, and comments have helped many among the group of “silent readers” , or at least caused them to pause and think for a moment.

So, thank you Salem, my hat is off to you sir!

Well Jeez, Curtis, you're welcome bud. That kind of makes my morning. Although, it may be due less to the kindness of my heart than to my addiction to knifemaking...

I too, would like to thank the many makers here who I continue to get good info and inspiration from. Stacy and Kevin come to mind first. Charles Vestal has helped me recently, too.
