Hi all - it's great to see what's going on in here. I've come via the Case Collector's club & see quite a few familiar names.
I have been doing one-of-a-kind work with rotary engraving & decorative sandblasting for many years on a variety of mediums - glass, ceramics, Zippo lighters & over the past year, with the permission of Mr Tom Arrowsmith, on Case knives. I'm greatly looking forward to displaying at the upcoming Case Collectors Appreciation Weekend in Bradford, PA July 18 & 19 - if you're there please don't hesitate to introduce yourself

Mitch - great to see a much loved piece of history like that - it's looking a bit like me - well lived in! Some of my favourite pieces are the ones that have seen a lot - the "if only this could speak" ones.
For now head down tail up trying to get work done for July so sorry not posting much - I hope to do more after my return home.

Welcome aboard Paul!
You really have a nice site and do some great work. Have a good time at the Case open house. You should open a store here on AAPK with some of your items. 
RIP Johnnie Rotten
