    After spending much of my life on the Northern Plains I moved to Sierra Vista from Montana about ten months ago. I am really enjoying it here. The only snow I now see is way up on the surrounding mountain tops........right where it should be!!

    Flagstaff has some very pretty country and is especially nice during the summer months. Congratulations on your home there. I hope you will enjoy it very much.

    Uhm, messed up friend request. Anyway, depending on your catering work (if It's Asian then there is much more performance and depth to get).

     

    So I suppose my question is, do you perform cosmetic cutting as in making a rose out of 1mm thick shavings of vegetables or do you mainly work with meat and heavy action?

     

    If It's the first option then I can help you make your job a breeze (atleast cutting wise, I'm a polisher and strong fanatic of HRC 66 kitchen knives).

    While saying that though, the one knife I treasure the most comes from Randy, even more than my swords that cost so much that I don't want to think about it.

  • Paul Cole

    Thank you James!  I am working on getting my full list of knives down now so that I can get them insured.  I guess i would like to know how much they are all worth.  Have any ideas on how I would go about doing that? 

  • Ron Cooper

    James, I am honored to be your friend - Thanks for adding me.

    Cheers!

    Thanks, James, for the kind comment. Being busy in today's economy is a good thing, I would imagine? Glad to have you aboard here at iKC! No worries, there are no hard and fast time schedules about participation. Drop in when you can. I don't know if you saw the memo about the Knife Expo that will that place at the Pasadena Convention Center on March 8th, 9th & 10th? You might want to check that out if you're in the neighborhood. Here is a link that will give you all of the particulars...

    Howdy, Jim!

    I'm glad you saw the notice about the show. I hope to catch one of those days. i'm not sure if I'm clear about which Club you're referring to? Help me out here, will ya?

    Cheers!

  • Ron Cooper

    Hi, James!

    Sorry for any misunderstanding, but I am not a member of the So Cal Blades. I was just posting about their Blade Expo in Pasadena next weekend. I posted about a Custom Knife Show on the east coast this weekend, as well. I guess that's why I was confused about the club meeting you were asking me about. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I was a member.

    Cheers, my friend -- have a great weekend!

    Hi James,

    I will gladly accept your friendship.  Thanks for the well wished for my business.  It needs all the help it can get.  So you are from Michigan; what part?  I live about 5 miles from the boarder in Mishawaka IN.  Hope all is well with you in CA.  Take care.

  • Ron Cooper
