I agree with Jack, the knife has soul and purpouse. A true rarity these days. Thank you for sharing the story with us. Im working on a chefs knife today for the In Laws Christmas present, its forged from a chunk of HC steel that came from my Father In Laws Fathers shop. He was a small engine mechanic for many years. The property was auctioned off recently and I bought all the "JUNK" from the shop. Many folks asked if I was buying it for scrap. Little did they know! Oh the treasures it has yeilded! I found Herb's old 1960 era Zippo, cleaned up and works like a champ. An Old hand forged fish Gig that sits proudly on my shop wall to remind me that folks use to really make things! And a huge pile of steel "Stuff" thats destined to be made into something! I know it sounds a little sappy, but It was like I had a long visit with Herb while I was forging this knife. Sure enjoyed the visit.

God Bless, and Happy Holidays!

Mike
