Do not thank me , many times in my life I have been on the road to destruction or sick or something and I was helped by others it is just a good thing to do , if for no other reason I hope it let's the young man know there are those who do not know him but we care , that is sometimes a blessing for the right frame of mind to heal... I am humbled by this site and the people in it and maybe someday some one from your family will look at the knife and say I wonder what he was like...... peace
P.S. I hope to get started on your knife right after Christmas...
