This is something I've been working on for a long, long time.
I'm very pleased to see it finally coming together.

Thanks for posting this Jan!
It's been very exciting to watch as GEC posts photos of the knife parts
as they are being made. We should have finished knives about Nov. 14th.

Hi All, I was gald to see that Jan posted this for Derek and I. Thius whole thing has been a labor of love for sure. Here are some pictures that we just recieved from GEC showing the bone handled knives almost done. I can't believe how great that bone looks. We were trying to have them look vintage and I think that GEC has done that. Take a look and tell us what you think!!!

Thanks Steve,
It sure feels like history for us.
JBF was such an important fellow in his day, that we really wanted to
create something befitting. It's a tall order.

That has got to be the nicest bone I've ever seen, Michael. They've done an awesome job.
