I'd like to send out an enormous thank-you to Oivind, David and Tom for their incredibly generous donations to this endeavor--things would surely not have gotten rolling like they did or turned out so well without you! Also a huge hand to Ryan for organizing things, Dave for hosting it all and of course to everyone who donated; I am really happy to be a part of this community.
As for Bill, I've never seen one of your knives in person and I certainly haven't ever met you, but I truly do wish you, your wife and your family the best of luck now and in the future!
