i swear these guys are going to beat me to the punch on getting the passaround out... really glad some guys out there will be able to try some of these though. Thanks again for putting this together.
I just want to add to that very kind, indirect offer of Matus that you would still have the chance to test the complete set as the 4000 stone will remain in his possession after the passaround...But maybe it won't be necessary at all if about 2-3 other people were interested in the passaround, if I count correctly...So let's wait...Mark, Europe is a small place. Should you sill be interested once your schedule clears just drop me a PM and we can work something out.

Another vote for the full set; wenn schon, denn schon...
OK, I would say that the interest in the full set dominates. Let us prepare the stones. I will then post another thread where we collect names and we can start
Might want to promote it a bit more as well; I'm sure there are some people around here who are quite active and who would like to jump in. It is a pretty unique chance to try some different stones after all...
And who knows; maybe at some point when new trade agreements are hammered out they finally become affordable here! God forbid, Gingas might finally become affordable again in Europe!
Lucky bastard. But I don't really see that changing unless you guys drop out of the EU. But I was mostly talking about free trade agreements between the EU and US/Japan. Would drop import costs a lot and likely also cut down on the shipping costs from the US, with extra traffic and all. Maybe Jon can finally become Japanese Knife Exports!J,
the prospect of new trade agreements brings a chill to those of us in the UK who currently enjoy paying no VAT or import tarrifs on goods purchased in the EU
:-(

Last I could find was that they expected it to be hammered out somewhere in this year
Yeah sorry to hijack the thread there.Without a hint of intention to continue the discussion on VAT & imports, I fear that the quick-wins of this planned agreement may be overshadowed by large issues that most of us (me included) have hard time understanding. I have yet to see honest and serious effort by any government on this side of the pond to allow ordinary people to get a basic understanding what that big deal actually really means, and it leaves a strange feeling in my stomach.
As a mountaineer I must say I stopped reading after that... Avalanches do not necessarily happen at 38 degrees, they can go as low as 20. But in the right conditions, without disturbance snow can stack as steep as 51 degrees before it collapses.ABOUT 38 DEGREES
38 Degrees is the angle at which an avalanche happens. In the UK, 38 Degrees will enable people to act together, to create an avalanche for change.
Hey how's the passaround going? Can I be also included?
How do I participate?
I'm interested as well, however I won't be back in EU for a a few weeks at least, so keep me in mind, but I may have to dip out of the pass around if I'm still in the US.
