Yes - it is very cool.
I get along with Ric quite well.

that was quite a documentary.  I enjoyed it last year when it was available...didn't realize they were replaying it.

yea, Ric is always there with helpful hints and feedback on Don Foggs Bladesmiths forum....and quite a bit of humor too.

I loved how much detail they showed in the Wootz making process (crucible steel).

hey...is even on youtube...

It's nice to see hard work and determination recognized and appreciated. It was very intriguing.
