Morning, muchachos.
Howdy, Bret...
Backatcha, Steve. Hope all is well with you.
It's all good in the neighborhood... how was the fishing trip?
Fabulous. Smoked a bunch of cigars, played some music, drank some good whiskey, did some fishin', and sat up till all hours having great conversations. Fun times.
Oh, and people spent a lot of time admiring these - I received them just in time for the trip. ;-)
Wow! Those are nice. How much you give for something like that/those to be made?
They're spendy, anything completely handmade is gonna cost. Nominally, the larger one is $1200 and the smaller one $800. But I got a special deal because I was helping the builder capitalize a new piece of manufacturing equipment. You know, doing what makes America really great. ;-) So I got both for $1200.
whoa... what are they made of, Valyrian Steel!?!
/puts wallet back in pocket. lol
The steel is D2. Yes, they were an extravagance. The cost was for the craftsmanship.
These are heirlooms. #1 Son already claimed the smaller one when I kick off, and #2 Son was delighted to claim the larger. Chances are, my grandchildren will fight over these knives someday. They commemorate a moment in time.
