First, thanks Mike1 for the advice and warnings. I will attempt to coach this so that there can be no broach of forum rules. I am comfortable that you will let me know if this thread strays, I Will personally try to see that is doesn't. Now on to the thread.

I have been wanting a quality sgian, possibly even a one of a kind. I think I sense that several other board members may feel the same way. A few have bought, many more are still delaying that purchase for various reasons. Sometimes it is the cost of a custom job, or not knowing who makes a quality blade, maybe it's warming up to the price of a custom, or not knowing who to ask. Well, I think I have a viable solution and I need your input.

There are several very talented makers who might be persuaded to make a run of several (many?) of a similar design if there was interest. This would allow us to realize some savings in the cost of both the sgian and the postage. I have spoken with one of them at length. This will not be a group buy, nor will it involve sales on the forum. If there is interest and we go forward, everything will run through my office and my email. (good Mike?)

So hit me, anyone else interested in the possibility of ordering? Thoughts or questions can be posted here or sent to me via pm or email, both are in my profile.

David
