Now that is cause for celebration!!!! I'm VERY happy for you. When things like that happen I do my patented 'happy dance of hamsters'.

Boys, I must say Skip has a winner. Looked over his knives and sheaths and they were great. He had them priced so you could steal from him i thoughtbnl He had a knife with sheath for $80.I kid you not. I WILL be buying a knife from Skip. Check him out before the price goes up. Kevin

Thank you guys (and galls) in one month,,I had enough time to make seven (and sheaths)but I had one casualty that didn't make the show,,so six was my count.
It was sugested to me that I price them so that if a knife sold,,that I could make three more.
The three that were $80. were my hicker models, (no bolsters/no frills). they all had my sheath-latch design. and the responce from the folks that checked them out was posative so from now on,,,I plan to have at least five of such a knife on my table and as many of the more elaberate pieces as I can do.

I'm not a big fish,,I just love making knives that someone will use. and yes,,I am a happy camper.
Oh and i put the sign on my table about this fourm and got to visit with some friends.
That was a kick in the pants too.
