He was really something. Knifemaking was his passion. He made more knives than could be counted and he was very gracious with them. If he decided someone needed a knife, he just went ahead and made one for him or her. After he passed it seemed like half the town was telling me about the knives he made them.
I tried to make one or two but I never had the knack for it. I could grind them really well though.
