Thanks guys. Would have noticed your comments earlier, but for some reason I didn't get email notifications of the comments being posted. Dan's knives are a great value for what you are getting. I have 5 of his (two in the form of a desk knife set). This one really appealed to me because of the handle. Love owning something with a history to it ... that has been repurposed for something special like this.
