Very Nice. Who did the engraving? What are the specs and can you give us a picture of it closed?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Steve,

I did the engraving. Overall length of this knife is about 6 1/4". It measures about 3 1/2 closed with a 2 3/4 blade.
These measurements might not be exact they are off a drawing because dummy me didn't make a hard pattern.

Thanks again!

Kirby

Kirby, if I sent you 48 knives to engrave would you charge me over $50? Would it take more than a week?



Wow, I didn't know you were an engraver. That's my absolute favorite style.

Send 'em Don! Yes I could do them all for $50.00 and have them back to you the next day if you pay extra for shipping.

One condition you must promise me you will never show them to anyone!

Thanks again guys!

Kirby

That sounds like a reasonable deal to me, Kirby.

Remember the definition of fair market value?

'The highest amount a reasonable buyer will pay and the lowest amount a reasonable seller will accept.'

I wont forget it Don! I'm sometimes surprised what those numbers are...both ways!

Thanks Joe and Dwayne!

Dwayne what have you been working on? I was just thinking about your knives and engraving the other day. May be your posting it but I'm missing it.

Kirby
