I noticed a few of Edmondson knives for sale on Ebay. After reading about your problems, which don't seem to be isolated, I will not buy from the guy. Plenty of other good knife makers out there. Thank you for warning other ODT people about this guy, may have saved others from a situation...
Iron wood and Lignum vitae some of the most dense and beautiful wood around. We used to collect lignum vitae up off of Card Sound road before the feds got so uppity about it.
