    Well you are certainly doing a wonderful job on the knives.  Nice clean lines.  Are you thinking about doing some slip joints in the future?

    Hi William, here is a poster of George Schrade that I made. I  will be showing it at my knife club on June 5, 2012 along with some of his knifes.

    I'm still a newbie myself, only here about 6 months, but if I can help at all just ask.

    I bought some knives from a switchblade fanatic, and the book he wrote.  There was a delay in getting them so he was nice and threw in a book.  I was surprised.  He was nice enough to autograph it.

    It doesn't have a name but has a nice picture of George Schrade and the dates 1960 to 1940, with his name in the middle.

    Inside the cover it says George Schrade and His Accomplishments to the Knife Industry.  Photos by William Schrade.

    I treasure it because I didn't expect it and because it details such important work by George and the Schrade Company.

    Anyway, best of luck and welcome to iKC!
