- The process of knife making is a connection to the earliest of human spirits. The flaked stone cutting edge was the basis of food, clothing, shelter and protection. For this reason, I place spiritual importance upon the forms revealed in the making process. I write of forms revealed, as their creation is exactly that, a revelation. Placing steel into a fire is always an act of faith. From that moment, the maker must follow a path, always with the feeling of being led, to a conclusion. On this journey, he must always remain aware that the beauty of the final product is not nearly so important as the joyous walking of the path and the discoveries made along the way.

How interesting I think that as your knives leave marks, you left so many marks on the lives of the youth of sparta. Everywhere I go someone tells me of the inspiration RE Howell left on them. Now your art continues to shape and carve function and beauty for a whole new generation. The aestethic fissure you left on me continues to grow in depth and knowledge as I try to leave my marks on a budding forrest of eager minds.
That sure is "purty"...as usual.
