Anthony, I wasn't looking for an apology, excuse or reason.  I just posted because a couple of people wanted to see them.  I wasn't scolding you for not posting.  I hope the job hunt works out for you.  That by itself can be a pain sometimes.
Pekane, I did hit it a few times, but it was more stock removal than anything else.  I need to make a sheath for the second ugliest knife I ever forged, so that will be coming up soon.
