Hey Les,
That was an excellent writeup. I am brand spankin' new to this great art and I'm still swallowing the humble pie I've needed to cram down my throat. I think in my case, tasting the bitter bile of coming up short initially, will most likely offset any kind of puffed chest and arrogance on my part when I finally get it right. I'll tell you what though, that kid Kyle Royer, who is making some totally incredible knives at such a young age, I am surprised that he hasn't succumbed to the big head syndrome. There are kids out there though, that are so talented and in their teens, but have the maturity of a 40 year old. I hope he has a mentor or father that is helping him along, because he is going to be our next great knifemaker for this century!!!
