Mike has donated knives for the St. Jude auction for years, and I have been fortunate to be the high bidder the last two years. Mike was my roomy at the Solana hunt a few years ago, and if there are many guys like him in Maine, I think I may move there! Mike made me a knife with Koa wood from the same board as a couple of my custom Shrews, including the Shrew Safari I took to Australia in July. It's an amazingly beautiful Damascus bladed knife that is perfect for field work on just about any animal I would hunt. He will be making me another knife as soon as I get off my butt and send him the handle scales I want him to use. I'm not surprised a bit by the act of generosity by Mike that is described here. He's just that sort of kind and generous person.
