Kerry, congratulations on a wonderful treasure and you know exactly where it belongs. It's hard to become really good friends with a special knife if you don't keep it with you and use it when the occasion arises. I have a Tony carver which I have whittled a few miles with and always hate to put it down. Tony teases me about "hand in pocket" because I like to keep close contact with my "gardener" he made for me. Your new knife has what I like to call a huge fondle factor with all of the character lines in the ivory. I can't wait to see it!

Allan
