The carving on these knives is really top notch..............if you look closely you can see my fingerprints all over them. I was just too cheap to buy one! for those of you that did not see these in person, the detail is amazing! Maybe Mary Ann will do a close up.

I like them both - a lot.

I would say they are top notch! Excellent carving with amazing detail! In person, they must be breath taking! I can just imagine that sometime in the near future, the rocks you traded will end up being part of a masterpiece!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
