An Update From Wade
Recently the owner of this knife contacted me to let me know he is still using it, and has redeployed to Afghanistan. Yesterday (24 Aug 09) I received the following from him. This is the kind of thing that knifemakers live for:
“Hey Dave. This was a couple nights ago. We went hunting and had a pretty good trip. I was looking at the picture and realized you can see the handle of the knife you made. As you can see I changed the sheath. I went with the spec-ops survival sheath because I can pack the pouch with all of my emergency signal equipment. And the desert colors compliment the knife nicely. LOL. But I thought you might like a picture of me and ole 77 heading out for a night on the hunt. I am also attaching a picture of it in its current state. It looks a little rougher than the last time you saw it, but its still razor sharp and ready for work. And it has served me well over the last 4 years. Talk with you later. Wade”
I simply cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for the work that Wade and all of our troops are doing for us. We are the most fortunate nation on Earth.
