He used to work for Perceval Knives in Thiers which is where Sabatier comes from.

Before the advent of #felon47 he shipped knives to the US.
Very political guy. We visited his atelier and he showed us his process. And then poured shots of mezcal - at 2:30 in the afternoon.

This is how Evil works, If you don't smother it in its crib.
Too Late Now.
I fear we will be sucked into the Evil in order to succeed in overcoming it.

History has already demonstrated that. We have new authoritarians using the same old playbook and sadly it still works because too many people are poorly educated or they know and just want to be cruel and hateful.

And blackpowder gunsmith. It was my experience that here in Arizona, most of us metal wallopers are decidedly left of center. The same cannot be said for gunsmiths!
Exhibiting at knife shows was like being at a happy family reunion.
Gun shows were like being at the Beer Hall Putsch.

Maybe that’s why the saying is “fighting fire with fire” and NOT about fighting fire with cotton balls.
