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!!!

They call the color walnut and the jigging pattern is #3, and as I said before they really did a great jpob of making them antique looking!!

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.
