Thanks.... giving back !
You guys ALL know that the biggest attraction in Custom knives are the people involved.
I am very liberal in a sense, in that I enjoy the artistry from makers from all corners of the globe. We have had the privilege of watching the works of Antonio Montejano being constructed from start to finish. His work is almost a 'lost art' that he has recaptured, or at least rekindled. When I went to Chicago in Sept. to shoot the show, (3) of his pieces were sent here and displayed by Don Cowles. I asked Don if I could, at no charge, have the opportunity to shoot them for Antonio. He has contributed quite a bit around here. And so I did:  Upon seeing the shot and the prints I happily mailed him, Antonio took it upon himself to repay me. He acquired this delightful little Spanish 'Albacete' horn lockback and gave it his special touch:  As you can see, I have been repaid FAR over the cost of an image and print. I'll be carrying this around today. I would like to openly say thanks to Antonio for such a well-received gift!

Wow!
Two thrills for me here, Coop. Seeing such a good photo of Montejano's knives, then seeing what he engraved on the folder blade for you.  Congratulations. You have certainly been well repaid.

Friend Jim
You looked very generous, when the photo did my knives. I appraise the friendship very much and to the generous people. I sent him the personalized pocketknife for this motive. With this detail as for me, I intended to reciprocate his fine gesture. Best regards and thank you very much for showing the photos. Always his friend. Antonio -------------------------- Amigo Jim Usted se mostr? muy generoso , cuando hizo la foto a mis cuchillos . Yo valoro mucho la amistad y a las personas generosas . Por este motivo le envi? la navaja personalizada . Con este detalle por mi parte , pretend? corresponder a su gentileza . Un abrazo y muchas gracias por mostrar las fotos . Siempre su amigo . Antonio
