Couldn't be better. Go in for left rotator cuff surgery tomorrow. Had my right rotator cuff and long bicep done Nov. 30th 2016 and it is like brand new know. No pain with full strength. Almost 60 and I still heal quick. How is everything in East Texas? If you are interested I have a buck folder that was converted?

Thanks Eric.

I have 3 Bucks that have been converted and a new factory Buck 110 auto ordered.

Good Luck on the Rot. Cuff surgery! I hope it goes well. I am 60 & so far so good.

I used to be able to out arm wrestle any of them easily, but I'm finding that it takes a lot more effort than it used to.

All is good here in the woods. We had an early day at school today and 4 days off coming up.

I just wish one of these knotheads would go to school, major in math, & come back to take my place. Several have gone that route over the years but they go for the $$$ out of Education.

I've got a Schatt & Morgan Cotton Sampler that I carry daily and would like to convert it. (Just for the heck of it)

Coach, Schatt Morgan make fine knives for a good price. Let me know if you do get it converted.

Surgery went great, nerve block still going strong. Pain will probably hit tomorrow. Lots of ice....looking good.

Good luck Eric. I had both of mine done in a 4 month window.

Take the pain meds and push hard in the rehab!

Thanks Tune, no PT was needed on my right, like new now. I can lift heavy objects to the top shelf with now issues. Left had only a 20 percent tear to the distal supraspinatus tendon. My right arm had a near complete retracted tear to this tendon with significant tears to 2 other tendons along with a partial tear to the long bicep. So I am hoping this one is less pain full in the first couple of weeks then the right. I have a great Ortho Dr., He likes RMK"s know!

Hey Eric, How did it go? I hope well. It sucks to hurt.

I emailed Butch but I have not heard back from him.

Coach, I am feeling great. A little feeling of pressure, but no real pain. Thanks
