Shawn, love the job Glenn did on that Craftsman, really looks great.

Ramrodmb, nice Boker, not easy to find in bone.

That's a nice one R. The Sheffield knives have (deservedly) gotten a lot of time here thanks to Jack and others, but I am also partial to that other great European cutlery town, Solingen too. :thumbsup:

Thanks Augie, so true! But extra special when you do find bone!
