    Hi Jeffrey!

    GAKC, that was a long time ago. Still have a lot of friends up in that part of the world, and a lot of fond memories from that time. Your name is familiar, but putting a face to it... not sure. You wouldn't be the guy who collected Witte Hardware, would you?

    I have a good memory for some things, but a very poor memory for others (just ask my wife!) For some reason my memory seems to work best on good old rusty knives. I don't remember the knife roll incident but am glad that it worked out for you!
    Speaking of remembering old rusty knives, do you still have the old Norvell Shapleigh whittler I sold you, the one with the etched handles? Wish I had a photo of that knife...

    The knife I'm thinking of had steel handles etched with a guy racing along in an early motorcar, and the devil standing there shaking his fist at him on one side. Had a broken blade. I can't remember for sure who I sold it to, but I was thinking it was you. You'll remember it if it was, a very distinctive knife!

    I hear rumors of lots of books, but most of them never come to fruition. Have not heard anything on a Missouri knives book. A fellow out here collects and has advertised for M.C. Co. = Meriden Cutlery knives, but I don't think he's working on a book (could be wrong).

    Saw a real nice Barnsley Brothers the other day, and passed on it as I don't have customers for them anymore. Know anybody who's hot for Barnsley Bros.?
