Feeling pretty good about a knife purchase I made about 15 years ago. I was on another forum where folks were discussing horn grips and that brought to mind a knife I have in my safe. It was made by a gent named Bill Burke. The purchase was made at Ed Fowler's table during a knife show in Costa Mesa, CA about 1999-2001.
It's an excellent knife, but I really haven't used it much. It's more a show and tell piece these days. As such, I hadn't really thought of it or Mr. Burke of late. Well, I broke the knife out today and decided to Google Bill. Turns out he is now an ABS Mastersmith: http://www.bladegallery.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=706 (http://www.bladegallery.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=706)
