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.

It's the things we do when no one is looking that reveals our true selves. I bet Mike thought it would end when he sent the package. Not around here, Mike. Nice random act of  kindness..... and I would like to get to meet you if you go to the Poke and Hope.
