Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with my friend Michael from www.droppointhunter.com The sentiment expressed in his email was just so true to the heart of all of us who are true users,collectors or creators of knives. I will send your responses to him or you can leave comments on his website.

Enough from me here is his email:
