Cheers Mick

hello MICK
Thanks for the kind words.
If I recall correctly, the body alone on this was just a tad over 4 inches long
Need to measure and let U have the complete overall length tip to end, if that's crucial for U

Am I missing something?

Yes, comparing his handmade tool to a commercially made tool. A commercially made tool would likely not be nearly as nice. I feared my subtle humor would be misinterpreted.

Sorry about that.

Ed

We're getting too touchy feely here guys, next thing you know I won't be able to call Steve an old fart.
Nice tooling aRM

Mr WILSON, now that's a serious statement, coming from U.
And U know better, by far
Must watch that surreptitious ego, and not trip over it !!!
Thank U, Sir

Why would you insult him like that.

U got him on that one ED !!!
Read Your intentions the first time 'cos we used to have the same kind of comparison vis-a-vis, production and custom Knives. They just don't compare.
Nice to read the cheerful banter between the Guys here. Makes one feel relaxed and at ease.
Thanks for the input.

Thankfully I didn't take that out of context.

That is a very nice tool you have there aRM.

That is because this is Metalworking FUN. We aren't here to have competitions with anyone. Smile

Ed, how come there's a "like post" button but only after you select it do you get an "unlike post" button ?
And, all it does is remove your "like post". Rotfl

Ah, Steve, that's what that button is for. Liking and retracting your like. 17428

So does that mean that a dislike is assumed unless the like is clicked, Ed?

Nice job aRM.
