That was very well stated Diceman, and I'm sure the thoughts of many others as well. I sincerely hope that this forum remains the wonderful place it has always been, where all of us knife-loving folks can get together as "family" and discuss just about anything as long as it is "family friendly". We have all shown restraint and respect for Dan and his company; I hope that Dan will reconsider his stance and reciprocate in kind. Long live the Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom
