The Busse "Proxy" system is definately a great thing for those who can't make it to every show. Having a good friend to proxy for you is the other part of the equation. I've developed a good relationship with some Great Dogs over the years. I proxy for them when I can, and they proxy for me when I can't make it to a particular show, it really works out great. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Jim, I know what you mean about being flexible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Management is about to change a lot at my work (new administration), things are always chaos... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm not lookin forward to it, but it'll smooth out in time.

Thanks to you my friends an NMSFNO is on his way to Romania , a very nice Christmas present for me . As you told me I contacted Amy.O and .....

Congrats Vlad!!! That's a bit more than a Dumpster Mutt, You will like it.

The NMSFNO is one of my favorite knives -- I didn't love the look at first, but was happy that I gave it a try. It's comfortable in the hand and big enough to chop with, but not as heavy as most dedicated choppers to carry. Congratulations; I think you'll like it.
