I carefully read thru all of the comments generated by the video thread, as relates to my last 97A Folder. I then carefully absorbed all of the comments generated by the posting of 14 different highly detailed pics of the same Damascus Auto Folder.

I weighted all the points made. Attempted to grant each position its due respect. And I thank all of those who participated in said jury of this special work.

It is with full consideration of all the discussion herein engaged, that I have made my decisions regarding the details of the following work, which I anodize today.

Sincerely
Gary
