    Chapter 11 is reorg, not liquidation, so chances are they are not going away. But it would likely help them if they looked at what Pierre/ Lefty, Randy, etc., have tried to commission with them so they could better understand how knife performance expectations have been changing.

    Read somewhere that the Ken Onion "Rain" series, originally done by Lamson, has moved to another manufacturer.

    Its a spectacular piece of property, if I had money I would buy it just to live there.
