I am there DotD... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

There's one other things worth mentioning too. Nobody likes to send their steel, so many times my purchases are motivated by the need for a blade for patterning to not only make my work easier, but also to prevent someone else from having to ship a blade to me. And yes there have been times I've bought things I really don't care for all that much just because I know I need it, but being a knife nut... generally if it's sharp and well made (made in USA is a big plus too) I'm usually always glad to have a new blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
