That really sucks Joe, I know you really felt bad about it. Look at the positive side though, it wasn't broke off IN YOU, at least you're ok!

Glad the customer was understanding about it.

He also taught me a valuable lesson - we are human, what’s really important are the people around us. I have always tried to be kind to everyone, to have compassion, love and understanding. Everyone has a story to tell, take some time and listen.

An excellent lesson for us all!

Had a heck of a time making the thin piece of leopard wood for the liner, but I really wanted that look.

Snakewood May be a bit overkill for a $29 knife , but hell it was scrap wood
