Very impressive, Paul! Mark is a worthy man indeed and it's always fun to see someone at that point where they're close to finishing out a collection and being able to help them out.
Both fine gentlemen!

Aside from the 2nd Anniv. Charlows, I missed out on the initial waves of other releases. So this time around I did a lot of legwork and assembled a small collection:



Love the cover options on these!

You Rock Brother!! :thumbup:

Though I am a new member of the site, I have to comment on my observation of the camaraderie and esprit de corps of the members and others I have observed in this thread and forums in general. Its amazing how a diverse group of people can come together and appreciate working pieces of art with such fondness. I wish the curmudgeons in power were as passionate about curing the larger ills of the world as you fine people are about sharing and taking care of each other here. Even though I may not get a new knife each time new ones are released, I am still content seeing others share theirs through picture and words and witness acts of kindness by those willing and able to help others accomplish their goal of obtaining the all elusive SFO knife. To you all I say cheers and I'm proud to be a member of this group even though I bring nothing other than myself and lack of knowledge.:thumbup:

As a side note Happy Birthday Paul

My Tan Sheep came with two imperfections, so it went on vacation to Titusville. It arrived there today and I can't wait for it to come back.

A belated Happy Birthday Paul :thumbup: Present in the post soon
