AM, Do you want us to re-finish the knife? I can then try again to see if I could come a bit closer on that date thing. Looks like I was more worried about my penmanship with the 14,000 rpm carbide cutter than the number I was cutting. Now for a little knifemaking hypothetical excercise, if I was to make some mistake on a knife, what group of people would I least want to do it in front of??? Let me think, this should come to me...

Brace for impact.

Your penmanship is exceptional, by the way.

Would you like to see the date you put on mine?

Better go way back, cause I have another one from an earlier conflict.

BTW, thank you, Mr. Harsey for your service in the Continental Congress.

How many generations have you been doing this?
