So this was a suprise, I logged on as usual and saw this cool post in r/diy bookmarked it as I do for all great posts and rushed off to go to a wedding appointment. Doorbell went and postman was there...Opened box seeing a wooden box inside. Thinking this looks familiar but I can't remember ordering it, just as I opened it I saw the straw lining and I knew... Cue major smiles. This was a gift from my rematch Santa, my original gift has just turned up too(slow post) so felt a little guilty, but I wasn't to know and mr rematch let me keep it. I'm getting married shortly and had hoped for a nice knife but was told that it was unlucky to ask for a knife for your wedding so this came at a great time. It will be well used and loved. Master Bladesmith also included a awesome wooden box with cool clasps, a note giving detailed info about the knife (and offering free sharpening for life), it was so cool unrolling it like a scroll with the burnt edges Master Bladesmith had done to it. Also had a little 'tincture' of home made oil stuff. So awesome. so so awesome. So yeah that's me cooking from now on... :D Done a little cooking with it already and It's sooo good. Just need to increase my range of cooking so I can use it more!

Thank you Master Bladesmith! I Love It!
