New Artistic Achievement from Kade Skidmore

My weekly trek yesterday to Judville showed up a new surprise. Apprentice Kade Skidmore had just finished and attractively photographed an impressive knife for a client, complete with expert engraving. In the course of the conversation it was revealing and enlightening to hear the old master and the young apprentice trading tales and showing scars from accidental cuts and gouges from their knife making - one wound on Jud still healing. Just goes to show that "baptism in blood" is not dead! Antonio Stradivari would be proud!
