I'm glad you won the battle, Bill! Had you lost, we would not have had the pleasure of looking at this beauty!

Outstanding work yet again, Bill.

I don't think I've seen a Buxton knife I didn't like.

Good stuff.

Thank you all for the nice comments, Its amazing how some of these knives no matter how hard you try just keep fighting you all the way. I've always been told that a forged blade takes on the heart and soul of the Bladesmith. I guess this is why I have so much trouble with so many, they must take on my hard head also. :jdevil:

Thanks again,

Bill
