You know, you sound just like my old (now deceased) friend, WT Fuller, he never considered it a job, he loved what he did, made folks happy and loved talking about any knife, his or others. I spent many an hour with him and miss him to this day. My own father died when I was six and men such as yourself and WT taught me a lot about life and knives. I appreciated the kindness you showed me at Blade and loved every minute of the fellowship.
My friends call me Jim,
I hope you will too.
Jim
