Thank you Team Sergeant

for your friendship and for teaching me how to shoot. Here are some photos of the Harsey custom folder you will be receiving shortly, together with its twin which I got for myself. Yours is #001, mine is #002.

And thanks to Mr. Harsey for your incredible craftsmanship! Perhaps you could make a few comments on the design . . .

Counselor!! Did you bring enough for all the QPs in the class?

Nice blades! Are they going to be available for purchase, or is the design template destroyed after these 2? maybe have CRK do a production run for PS?

Very nice looking blades! Thank you RL and Mr. Harsey.

You were an easy student to teach. Can you still shoot hole through hole?
