Yes, Wick has gone above and beyond sharing his knowledge and helping me in many ways.

Thanks all for the kind words!

Not sure where Longhunter get his bone but here is my source.  Have done business with them for years and can highly recommend them.

My first thought as well!  Great work and fortune in finding a mentor like Wick.  My everyday kitchen knife its a Wick trade knife. Use it every day and enjoy it.  Our Beagle puppy grabbed it off the counter and chewed the handle some, and the sheath tip too, but I decided that was "normal wear and tear" .

Back to this knife:  wonderful craftsmanship and design.
