I just finished a transaction with Joe that started many, many years ago. I sold Joe a knife, in that all too familiar new toy got to have mode, that was from a maker that he collects at least 7 years ago and asked him to give me first shot if he ever decides to sell it. I received that knife today in the same condition and for the same price paid. I don't know how any one could be any better as a knife buddy and asset to the forum. Thank you Joe, David
