I've dealt with Vladimir many times and have developed a friendly relationship with him. In fact I believe that if my wife and I ever decide to visit Russia we have a friend to show us around and spend time with.

The idea that these knives have to stay in the USA is an interesting opinion. I don't share it personally but I also don't say anyone who has that opinion is wrong. It's their opinion. I'm kind of rambling now so it's time to say goodnight. Typing this out reminded me of another story I wanted share. I'll do that in a few minutes in the appropriate section.
Rob, thank you for warm words, every of which is real true.
