Just wanted to say that I had a rather lengthy long distance conversation with one of AAPK's well known members, orvet, tonight. He is an outstanding individual and if any of the members here have any hesitation in dealing with him, please forget it. We spoke for almost an hour and I can honestly say, he is a gentleman.
orvet, thanks for the conversation and lesons learned. I hope to talk to you again. You've made me feel more than welcome here at AAPK and reinforced my love of knives (as if that needed help)

.
I'll be in touch.
Chris
