Well, Ed, I would have to know a whole lot more about this to make an accurate comment on the merits of the case. Yes, there are experts who have read a whole years worth of Knife magazine and maybe have cobbled together a knife or two, leaving a lot to be desired, and now consider themselves an expert. There are also recognized experts with many years of knife making who have made extraordinary claims siting as proof their own expertice. In short, they've let their celebrity go to their heads. You are right, however, that it is far better to approach these differences with humility, reason, and a lack of rancor.

As Delbert said: never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Doug
