I spend too much time looking at and dreaming about unique wood for RMK. My wife and I are in Portugal now, Spain later in the month. I see tons of olive trees and think, man what would those burls look like on a RMK.

Then all the vineyards and I think of our friend Tony!!

Here's one of my Maserin (Italy) steak knives with olivewood scales.

Those scales are awesome. I love olive wood on any knife.

Hey Rod … that’s great!

While you were thinking of me, we were up in the Finger Lakes, NY tasting/drinking some fine wines! Beautiful country up there!
