I guess I've had some input with some great makers 
Bill had only done I believe one Stag HB and said he would not do any more. I wouldn't say I pressed but I bugged him for one and the Stag HB is one of his most popular knives
When I did the Founders project with Jason and the Paranee/Fighter wih Nick I just helped them tweak there already proven designs by cranking up the Distel taper and some odds and ends and the rest is history. The 2 project knives thou unadorned made it to the finals of the best Bowie last year.
In all of these cases these great very well established makers took a risk on me by associating there incredible work with me.
Thx Guys

Nick,
That fit and finish killer. I don't want to be sitting next to you at a show.
Great job,
Rick

Jim I do like your taste in knives
Like what Joe said!
BTW I've been eating up this thread! Oodles of informative comments from makers and collectors! :thumbup:
