Thanks fellas. I really appreciate the comments about the knives, but I appreciate the comments about the kid a lot more. Easy enough to build the knives, but his accomplishments are beyond spectacular. Momma and I couldn't be prouder. He's starting a clerkship with a federal judge in the fall and has been flat out on this path since about the 10th grade. I don't know where the hell the kid gets it, (although there was this damned bright mailman back in the day), but I sure am impressed.

Although he attended Harvard he's about as far removed from the "Harvard" perspective as you can get. He told me when he headed there that among other things he intended to do his best to set the liberal professors straight whenever possible. For perspective, he got his undergrad and masters from Texas A&M. In fact, my good buddy Brother Bart told me he was convinced that the only reason Harvard Law accepted him was because they probably needed someone to tend the Ivy. smile

Those look great Dale! I'm sure he'll be more than happy.

That carver looks similar to the pattern you did for me a couple of years ago. Love that knife and use it all the time!

The engraving on the box got done last night and the lining went in today. (nothing like cutting it close). Anyway here's the Set. A Carving Knife and Fork and 8 Steak Knives.

Also posted this in the Knife forum but figured the kid's accomplishment is worth the double post.

Very nice work. Classmates will be jealous.
