Clarence,

Glad to see you back at it and doing such beautiful work. I wanted to wait to contact you again when it looked like you were getting caught up. I will call you soon on the projects we discussed earlier. I love the looks of this knife and sheath. Someone on the receiving end will be very happy with it!

Clarence, really awesome knife. An excellent combo with the damascus, box elder, mosaic pins, and of course your sheath work.

A prime example of why I got a couple from you.
cheers, Dale
