That's pretty darn cool! Takes years of experience to get that good where you can work on so many different brands.

You should be proud!

Case stopped the practice of non-factory authorized repairs years ago and it doesn't look like they intend to start it back up.

Congratulations are indeed in order! I used to have the Kabar repair spot and gave it up to an individual that I later heard wasn't doing a very good job. I'm glad to hear it's in good hands now. The factory authorized repair work can be quite demanding. It's time consuming and chasing down the right part is often the hardest part of the entire job. I'd display those certificates too because they really are something to be proud of. It takes a special kind of person to deal with the public as a representive for an entire knife company. You have every right to be proud!

Bill I'm curious as to what it takes to be certified like you are.
