[Leica] Fine Knives

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Glad you recognized Bob's work.  I did not query him about the handles, but 
one of the file names contains the word "mastodon", so I think you are 
correct.  I agree, his work is outstanding, and I find the Damascus work 
very interesting.
