Yeah, there isn't a lot of appreciation for the finer quality knives. There are a lot of VERY frugal folks running around here, that refuse to believe there is anything better than a cheap Mora or Opinel. To be honest, I don't own a custom knife. About the best I have is my couple of Benchmade's, and those were issued to me while I was in the military. But, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate them! I'm getting pretty close to stepping up to a quality custom like yours. I think you'll be hearing from me again in the no-too-distant-future. Maybe for Christmas I can convince my wife I need one good quality custom fixed blade. I showed her the Amboyna Hunter and she was also amazed at how beautiful it is! And your other knives on your website are beautiful as well! Anyway, good to chat with you! -Steve
