	Thank yourself.  It's your good work and IMO very reasonable
	price that's thank-worthy.  The only reason I've not bought
	one from you, besides being broke as hell at the moment, is
	that you got my head going a couple years ago and I designed
	my own.  There's a load of large steel awaiting me in NJ as
	I type.

	The biggest departure in my design from yours, and this is
	merely my idiot-retentive Rube Goldberg mind at play, is a
	thermal choke to keep the heat in the face so the blade
	doesn't cool quite as rapidly.  I've conceived several
	possibilities.  Not sure which I may try, that is, if I
	ever get around to actually building it.

> I try to keep my price low enough so new bladesmiths can afford them.

	This probably means you're a crummy businessman, but
	a crummy businessman with a good heart.
