I had the opportunity to go to the knife show in Harrisonburg, VA this past weekend (didn't think I'd make it) and met Mr. Apelt at his table. We talked knives and how lucrative the knife business is D) for a bit, he explained some of his beautiful work and I was reminded how much I don't know.
I proceeded to check out the show, resisting the urge to purchase a new knife, and came to the conclusion I should buy materials instead. Mr. Apelt had some Black Palm that really caught my eye. I picked my block and was ready to pay when he picked up another block of California Buckeye Burl and gave it to me N/C. I tried to pay him for it but he would not except it. So, thank you and I enjoyed talking to you, hope you had a good show. Walter
