 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.

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.
..... Also not to be taken out of context.

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

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".

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

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

Nice job aRM.
