FVB Order with KnifeGrinders

[Oldhand]

Just wanted to add my general experience dealing with Vadim/Wootz/Knifegrinders.au: He's a wonderful human being who does his very best to be prompt, answer his email, etc. I know right now, as someone else mentioned, he's very behind simply due to his being a small business owner with an unusually big load at the moment. Give him time, and he'll catch up. I'd trust him to make any deal simply on his word. And know if he doesn't answer a mail from you, he most certainly will as soon as he possibly can.

I have no association with him at all - he's half a world away - except as a very satisfied customer and devoted reader of his materials and posts (and the appreciative recipient of some very gracious emails). He's a master craftsman who shares the results of his painstaking testing with the community - as well as having some indispensable tools for purchase.
