Dear Creekers,
I'm sure that you're aware that Stu closed ToolsFromJapan after his mom's passing.
Also, a number of us have bought (quite excellent) tools and stones from him over the years.
I'd only opened the recommended sharpening stone set a few weeks ago to finish off a knife (my sister's Christmas present).
I also will *finally* get to put his tools to use, on some projects at hand.
Anyways, I just wanted to send a very grateful "thank you" to Stu.
Without you, I'd still be limping off my mongrel set of King stones.
-Matt
ps. I don't know how to reach him aside from this forum... Regardless, I'm grateful to him for having made great tools available.
