I would like to welcome our newest member, my friend, Mark Reich. In addition to being a really good guy, Mark is an expert knife maker with an encyclopedic knowledge of steel.
I have one of Mark's platens on my Kalamazoo belt grinder. I was totally amazed when I received it. I just held it and looked at it for quite a while. I had to decide whether to display it in the parlor or install it on the Kally. The Kally won, although the voting has close.
