End of year tribute to Mr. Harsey
Bill, that was really good year for me and that's in a big part thanks to you my friend. I'd even say that thanks to you the BLADE this year was one of the best event of my life (yes, my wife is aware of that fact). What else shall I say... Bill, I hope that 2006 will be good for you. Both very personally and knifemaking-wise of course. And just for you my five favorite pictures of your stuff taken this year (or at least I like them the most). Thanks for everything Bill!

Here, here.
Hope that your next year is even bigger and better, Bill.
Thanks for your friendship, your tremendous support of us and our brothers in arms, and your generous contribution of your time to this board.

Can I hop on this bandwagon too? One should always remember their friends, especially to wish them auspicious beginnings to a New Year.  ('cause we all know you earned it with "the sweat of your brow!") Peregrino

:::Limping toward the bandwagon at a pretty good clip:::
Yay for Mr. Harsey! For providing some of us in this world with excellent tools, excellent wisdom, and excellent friendship. And for making me laugh LOTS with all his good stories.
Wishing all the best in 2006.

p.s. Nice to see you here Piter!

Jumping too. It has been a honor to meet everyone on this forum. Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year.
Bill it has been a pleasure to read your comments. I have always loved a good knife but never completely understood how ignorant I was about them.

Mr. H, I've said it privately so I'll say it publicly. You are a treasure and it's an honor to get to "hang" with you.  All the best to you in 2006 and always.

Professor Harsey,
you practice what you preach.....teaching those of us that want the education, making instruments with performance, perfection and the ultimate edge....enough to operate in the field with. It is a priviledge to know you and utilize your creations. I look forward to the next Harsey creation for personal use.
Happy New Year.
