Tom, this is a shame!
I don't know of any other builder of trap-spring knives....you were the only one.

I certainly like the knife you made for me....it gets a lot of use and I have yet to sharpen it.

I've had that knife for about two plus, maybe three years, if I remember right. Sure speaks highly of the metal in a trap-spring blade!

Tom it saddens me to hear of the hand troubles you are having. I thresher the knives I have of yours. They are working pieces of art. I get a lot of use out of them.
 That new one you just made is a real beaut.

Well, I didn't get one of your knives, but I did get a horn, and treasure it. The last knife looks great too. You are a true artisan, Tom.

Gadang  :cry: .
One of the best lookin knives I seen on these or anyone elses pages.

By da ways, the map in da background is from where I grew-up.
Just under the belt loop on the Pensey side of the River Delaware ya should see where Gen. G.W. X'ed on Christmas Eve., about 6 or 7  miles down stream from there still on the Pensey side ya should see the village of Yardley. Just below the Scudders Falls.
