Just wanted to thank everyone in Reno that took the time to critique the cigar cutter I started to engrave before the show. And thank you all the encouragement to come home and finish the project- including adding the ivory.

All opinions and advice welcomed.

Mike,
That is a totally beautiful piece of work. The cigar lover that winds up owning that will be very lucky indeed.
Thanks for sharing!

Mike,

I liked it when I saw it in Reno. Now I LOVE it. The ivory adds a truly special touch. And the finished engraving is superb. Now don't beat it up in your pocket anymore! Keep it in it's leather sheath when you carry it around.

Mike, Wow! that looks great! I am very impressed. Cool. I signed up for Rex's shotgun class at the end of July, and I need to get practicing. Makes me want to get to work. Well, keep on cutting, no pun intended. Are you still smoking those things?
