"People say you can't go back, its like when you get to the edge of a cliff and you take one more step forward or you do a 180 degree turn and take one more step forward. Which way are you going? Which one is progress?" Doug Tompkins

Thanks for the kind words. Just about done with the last knife & sheaths. I will try and post pics tonight. Sure was fun, it makes one appreciate the price of a custom knife. Dave will be at Waterloo with a dispay and I`m going to tag along to help in his booth.

Great thread. I was lucky enough to get one of Dave's knives in the swap a couple of years ago. Great little hunter that I carry into the woods every time I head out.

Beautiful knife (actually knives as they are all great).  Wish I could afford to bid what this one is really worth.  Someone will be a very happy bidder.
