Reminds me of a conversation I had with an avid Smith collector. He had a pristine pre-Model 19 and he looked at me like I was an idiot when I asked how it shot. While I can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a custom pistol or knife, probably better for me to buy a picture book. I can see a Les George Rockeye or FM-1 in my future and always been a fan of the ESEE fixed blade knives, but probably get my membership revoked if collectors saw the things I try to do with my knives.
