Thanks Pete.
For all you did for the industry, and for making my outdoor endeavors that much more enjoyable and productive.
You were truly a pioneer that brought a new level of excellence to his industry, and changed it for the better.
Hopefully forever.

Another knife icon gone, may he rest in peace.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!
