Hi Friends,

Thanks for checking on me. I’ve been working hard to make family gifts. I know it’s an old story, but the pain has really been ramped up recently. It just drains the life out of ya. I’ve been doing what I can. I kinda got used to there being little response here on the forum, and I missed some things. Sorry.

I am making more jewelry and the small black model 97 folders. People have asked about both. I know Christmas has gotten here, but both will work very well in the New Year!
The Black 97 Wharncliff Folder that I prototyped back in May, has been the most handy knife to carry and use. I’ve really enjoyed it. I even named it. Can you guess? “MAC”. Yep, he’s a Bud now. (When I can’t do much I want to do, I have to do corny things to amuse myself. Ha.

I hope you have a great Christmas. I’ll check back more if you do the same. Thanks very much.

Gary

You and Ms. Kelly have a wonderful Christmas and profitable New Year !
Hope you can get your pain under control with the new treatments.

Gary,
I LOVE my model 97 folder.Use it All the time. It's so light & easy to use.
The shape of that Wharncliff blade is so much more useful than i ever thought it would be. It is also much easier for me to sharpen. I just LOVE IT.

Rick.

Ah Rick,

You just burned off some of the Aches Buddy. Thank you. I’m so glad.

I have to make some more of those. Wish I had a bunch of them.

I’m finishing some Bracelets. Then I’ll get back to it.

At the end of each day, I wish I had another 10-12 hours. Honest to gosh, I actually feel less achy often when closing 7-9pm. I think of this and that to do. Try to talk myself into another few hours. Then, by the time I close up, pull in the cat food, and walk to the house ... I barely make it to my seat for dinner. Sucks. All the tools are ready to go, looks like I’ve found the weak link! Haha.

Thanks so much for your report on your 97. Excellent.

Gary

Merry Christmas to you, ms. Kelly and your family's.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays !

It’s been a strange year to say the least . A lot of firsts for me anyways but here we are at the end of the year still kicking and screaming !

God bless y’all

Thanks
Kurt

I heard some screaming from the far north country. So that was you?!!

I hope you had a restful Christmas. Hope you had some recliner time.



Here’s our live Norfolk Island Pine Christmas Tree.

And note: the Scarf one of our Grandsons made for his Nana! With a great handmade Card. He’s been into knots and Survival techniques for years. So it’s natural that “knitting” held an attraction. Hah! Great job too!
