Alas, it is determined by Webster and AG Russel that if I surprise my father with a unique knife made to his needs and preferences without his knowledge, it's not a custom knife. I'm just not buying it. I think AG Russel's definition is incomplete and leaves a great many posibilities unaddressed. And Webster..., probably not a knife guy.

If "we can't go there" Ray, and if what AG and you are saying is the same thing, and if those are the only two definitions you are willing to offer for the vote, then why are we even discussing it?

You solicited opinions and Nathan and I gave ours. I provided what I thought were good 'what ifs' that supported my view. I was clearly wrong.

I concede. Good luck with your project Ray. No hard feelings.
