This will be hard to watch for some. Welcome to MY world. I am thankful to be up ang going no matter how limited I am now.⁠ ⁠ BTW, the infection which caused this was 'Ludwigs Angina'. Began with an infected tooth. After admitting to the local emergency ward late December, I regained consciousness 6 days later and 3 throat surgeries at Yale New Haven Hospital 45 minutes away. ⁠ ⁠ Stay safe out there. Be grateful for your health!⁠ ⁠ We look forward to working in the future. Trevor is a gem.⁠ ⁠ Jim & Trevor

I am always pleased when MY CLIENT'S work gets publiished. It's not about me. I'm good.⁠ ⁠ The inside story inside is compelling and my work helps illustrate why.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to Jeff and Mark for this oppportunity!

WOWZER visuals... everywhere. @DesertForgeKnives Tony Lewis makes his statements with impressive clarity on BOTH these standouts:⁠ ⁠ 1. Taz Bowie⁠ BL / OAL 8 1/2 / 14 1/4 1084, Nickel⁠ ⁠ Bolster / Guard Material Blued steel - Sculpted clamshells⁠ Handle - KOA⁠ ⁠ Other Comments / Features The mosaic pattern on this blade resembles the stripes on a Tazmainian Tiger. ⁠ ⁠ 2. Quilled Feather⁠ BL / OAL 10 1/14 / 15 1/2 1084, Nickel, and 15n20⁠ Handle - Mammoth tusk⁠ ⁠ Other Comments / Features This feather pattern blade has an added line of twisted Damascus running through the center to give it the look of a quill that is in a natural feather.⁠ ⁠ Follow him! Thanks Tony. ⁠ ⁠
