Having had such a poor year so far smiles have been few and far between. Having my wife lose the baby, my grandpa pass away followed by my dog. As I came back from the doctor today (eye and sinus infection) I see a package. Man Rick, what a honor to have such pieces of art. I had a sneaking suspicion that you were making me a ball starter. It is awesome. The knives are very sharp, and very good looking. I smiled and sang a little tune. Thank you so very much.
