    getting your knives into dealers hands

    While you do have the right, I think this creates a difficult situation for a Dealer and you will find them less willing to work with you. I see your point though.

    The Business of Knife Shows

    Another point about sales, my older brother is a remarkable salesman, he's the kind of guy that could sell a refrigerator to an eskimo, which is a phrase he thinks is hilarious. A real salesman wouldn't bother selling a refrigerator to an eskimo, there's no point a real salesman is...

    uh oh..Peening problem.

    a peining block is a block of steel usually 5 lb or so, with concave depressions in one side of various diameters to accept the end of the pin while peining. typically used to form a nice head on the finished rivet, we don't really care about that since it will be ground flush the benefit...
