Really outstanding custom work done on already gorgeous knives. With your collection Bernie, it's probably the 1st time you've even opened that box in 6 or 7 years! lol

Great job Bernie. Any chance of a photo of the box with the knives in it? Tank does first class work.

Hey Bernie...Just noticing your 11" cat logo is without the tiny "W" in it. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before, but just to clarify, does the lack of it indicate a first run piece (as I was told by the seller that sold me one without it)? Though I'm sure I was sold a first run piece, I'm not sure why they would go through the trouble of making different stamps. I don't have access to my photos on this Mac, but mine is from 2013. Maybe your 11" is as well(?) Or, maybe the cat logo and "w" are actually 2 different stamps (struck twice) and in some pieces, the "w" just forgotten (over looked)? Just wondering if the lack of was intentional.

In a conversation with Walt some time ago I asked him about the W and he told me that on his first runs whoever did the stamp/engraving of the logo mistakenly left it off. I have several without it.

What tiny "w", you meaning he cats fearsome above and resembling a mouse? Because the latter is an "m" - the Maniago quality mark.
