That is a really creative package you made. The case looks great, and the custom tri hone is great looking. I need to check in on this forum more often.

Great work all around Bruce. That red velvet set it off too. The whole package is very classy.

You all can imagine my utter shock when I opened the box.
Yes, it is mine & I am thrilled.
Bruce made sure I had him on the phone when I opened her up...there was alot of stuttering and speechlessness on my part.
Here's a close up of the tri-hone

Bruce you picked right on the 'poofey pillow' velvet. Everyone in the art studio loved the contrast between the cold, hard steel and the warm, cushy velvet.
Well done.

Better pix of the knife are coming...I need to borrow PhilL's window

Thank you again Bruce

Thanks for all the great comments everybody.Now that I have this figured out I will be doing more cased sets like this.

Cadillac,The certificate gives the blade steel and handle material then states that this was made by me to the best of my abbilities at this time then dated and signed then gives a list of the contenets in the case.

Ebbtide didnt show that the case comes in a cover case also.
