    Send me that proto!

    You amaze me with with your ability to photoshop those images.

    Get ready, gotta feeling we're opening an iKC Gift Album.... at least that's my thinking from reading the comments so far. Gonna need your help to get some up from them to use, eventually folks will see what we've done and will create some of their own too.

    Well that's a hard question, the carvin jack is pricey, but the fit and finish is very nice, the locks work well and the blades are very high quality. it can do a lot of work, but its not really a substitute for a good veriety of tools. It can however, when combined with a larger knife, a wood rasp and some sandpaper make just about anything. The sheath is quality but not super robust, and you may want to make a strip of leather that is about 4 inches long, an inch wide with a hole in the end, if you plan to use the push chisels this will stop the opposite end of the handle from ripping up your palm. I think if you have the money, and it is something you would use a lot that its worth the cost.

    Hi,

    I did have trouble signing in the second time and had to re-enter information that resulted in two seperate pages. Do you know of any way to fix this? I go from one to the other when I sign-in. Your page looks great.

    Thanks,

    BTW - those peach pits are really cool, do you sell any of them? I might be interested in a few for my table at the shows. Maybe start off with 3-5 and see how it goes.
