Thanks for showing me this knife Steve. I wish I'd had more time to visit. This knife was exceptional in its detail and hefted just like a Moran. You captured it well.

Hey, Steve...missed seeing you at Blade....that's a beauty.  Met a guy at ABS school whose nickname is "Hocky"- do you know him? He says he knows you.

[Steve Nuckels]

Ray I am sorry we did not meet at the show, I would like to talk with you.  

Yea, I know Hocky, he is a member of the Moran Foundation and I know him professionally from our previous career.  Very talkative fellow, but a very nice guy!

That inlay work is impressive - as is the entire package.
One to be very proud of.
