That is your secret Professional Soldier title, bestowed as a badge of honor and respect for what you do and have done. Or we can make it "Asset" again.
It seemed fitting, since you are, in our humble opinion, more of a bladesmith than a cutler.
Your call, Sir. NDD and I like it.
BTW, I can put up the pic of you in the shop later for your fans and admirers, if you wish.

Wow, that's a huge surprise!, Thank you very much I wouldn't dare have used that for myself. With your permission I would be honored if it could stay that way for at least a little while. Bill

As they say in "The Wild Bunch", one of my favorites, "It'll stay that way till Hell freezes over, or you say otherwise".
You mind if I put your shop pic you sent me up?

No problem, that pic shows the bench that the original Yarborough was worked out on. This is less than 1/4th of the shop and doesn't show any of the big tools. This is the hand tool section right? Bill

Roger, you are in the right place, unless someone opens an edged tool section.
Besides, the lads deserve to know who we are going to be buying beer for and what he looks like.

With Mr. Harsey. Jr.'s compliments:

Chris Reeve
Okay, now I have to do this.
The other half of the dynamic duo, as it says on his truck, "Cutler to the Quiet Professionals", Mr. Chris Reeve, demonstrating his skills (behind the JFK Museum) from a previous life as a mortar maggot:

I'll send in for the knife ASAP.

Nice shop Mr. Harsey!

(Now if I could just convince the wife I require a reloading area that size....)

Reaper! Great picture of Chris Reeve, I've known him for almost twenty years now and we have done several small things together before the Yarborough knife project. Yes that's me in my shop. Many machines unique to knifemaking are not shown. I build my own belt grinding machines for steel and titanium grinding. My 100lb. human powered treadle forging hammer (redneck stairmaster) is in the next room with a couple other large machines. Yes there are A/F parts all over in the shop. Bill

Team Sergeant, shop
Team Sergeant, Reaper accused me of having too clean a shop. Please know this is not the case as any sense of order falls apart under the bench tops. I agree, you should have large reloading work area.
