Ummm I'm retiring... Sorry

Very sorry to hear this. I join many others in wishing you a full recovery.

Man Will that's a bad deal.... I was just talking to someone about this yesterday, but knifemaking is one of the hardest things on your health that I've ever heard of.... I was trying to account for everything that I'd done to my body in the 6 years of doing this full-time, and it's not a pretty deal when you add it all up.

If you want to send me those blades, I'll grind and finish the blades *no mirror polish though*, and someone else can do the handles or if need be, I can get my shop help to do the handles.

Just let me know.

Will, what in the world did Charlie do to you? ;) I hope this is something you can overcome.
Take care,
Jim
 
No backdoor shennanigans :p
 
Will, my two knives should be of no concern what so ever. Your health is what is important so take care of it.

You would be proud of the EDK that you made for me as it has been my constant companion since receiving it and it gets beaten like a rented mule on a daily basis.

Remember that you are in my prayers and if there is anything that I can do to help do not hesitate to contact me.

All my best to you and yours.

Carpe Diem,

Very sorry to hear about your health troubles and that you have to stop making knives.
I should send you a pic of my EDK.. It is very used looking now. :D

I really hope you health improves and you can get back to making knives. It's been an honour to know you Will.
Thanks,
Stuart
 
Dammit, I'm going to tell y'all like I told the makers... I AIN"T DEAD!!! I just can't make knives...... to some that's like being dead but I know better. Now that I think of it I can be that retired curmudgeon that sits around and say "back in my day" "you kids got it too easy".

:p
 
Best of luck to you Will. Take care of yourself.

Hi Will!

Sorry that you won't be making knives for a while, but hope you're finding other ways to get into mischief and have fun.

Best wishes,

Thom

Will,

I read your news with a heavy heart! I hope your recovery goes well and you may find another passion to fill in for your knifemaking. I had been keeping an eye out for a knife of yours. We exchanged a few PMs, and I regret things came up then that I had to delay an order! Best wishes, Dan
