Ben just left on his mission. He stopped by the night before he left to give JR a present. Awhile ago, probably a year or more, the guys worked on making knifes for several months. Every Wednesday night, they would work on the knives. Ben is a knife maker/blacksmith and was teaching everyone what to do. JR was so excited. He forged his blade and worked very hard on it. Then time ran out, and the project was never completed. 
Ben surprised JR. He completed the knife for JR and gave it to him that night. It was the perfect present.
Ben used 10,000 year old Bog Ash for the handle. He makes a very handsome knife. I think it is a great indication of Ben's personality. When most 19 year olds are thinking of themselves, he took the time to think of others. He knew JR cared about his knife, and he completed it for him. This was an especially thoughtful and meaningful gift. Thank you Ben! I know that you will do well on your mission because you already care for your fellowman.

Ken is a huge knife collector/fan and he will be so impressed when I show him your post. JR got a great gift -- he must have made a huge impact on Ben.
that is such a great story. Good enough for the new Era or Ensign!
What a good guy Ben is! That's a nice looking knife!
