I have longed to move away but am afraid;
Some life, yet unspent, might explode
Out of the old lie burning on the ground,
And, crackling into the air, leave me half-blind.
Neither by night's ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death's feather.
By these I would not care to die,

The Tandy here has them in stock. I did not purchase one but did examine one out of the packaging. This is just my opinion mind you. It is comparable to the modern Osbornes currently available but with a "Damascus style" blade. So if you're happy with a modern Osborne than this knife will be the one to get. It does look cool. Looks cool. As with the regular Osborne's out of the box the edge will benefit greatly from some tuning up. The black handle is a disappointment to me because I would think a cocobola handle would add to the visual more. The handle almost looks like black imitation wood plastic. But again a damascus knife does look cool. While I was there a customer bought all three of the knives available in damascus so there are buyers. For me, just my opinion, it isn't worth the money. To make it worth me shelling out my ever increasingly rare funds they would have to make some changes. Better handle wood, Better wood to steel fit and better handle to blade fit, and finally damascas that did not look like it was just sitting on the surface like it was done with an acid etch process instead of a true damascas. This is just my opinions of what I saw and felt when I looked at one. Your results may vary. :D If I was buying a round knife right now I would follow Bruce's observation and buy a Gomph. DC how good of a round knife could you make when you were 8? Those Chinese kids are doing the best they can! LOL

If we stand quietly enough evenings
there grows a whole company of us
standing quietly together.
overhead loud grackles are claiming their trees
and the sky which sews and sews, tirelessly sewing,
drops her purple hem.
Each thing in its time, in its place,
it would be nice to think the same about people.

DON'T GO FAR OFF, NOT EVEN FOR A DAY
Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.

It is a masons beaded tuck pointing tool I believe. Something that would be used in stone joints not red brick type possibly.

Wow! Looks great Tom. I bet they were super happy.

Uniformity comes from consistency in method and practice. With that said I use an awl and bought a good one (already mentioned ) for my stitching and I run the stitching wheel over it when I am done. But now I have some new ideas to try out thanks Luke!

Who shall say that Fortune grieves him
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me,
Dark despair around benights me.
