John...looks like you may have to quit your day job to work exclusively on knife mods...clearly the demand is there (you might even have to start actually charging for your work as well ::uc:: :shock: )
Thanks. Wouldn't dream of asking him to do it for free. Or if he's that busy. Maybe I'll just bash it against the bench grinder for a while and see what turns out.

Ryan, that Copperlock is a slick outfit. As Greg said, you better hang on to her but also to that knife. Congratulations.
