It looks great, indeed!
But please pay your dearest sizigos a cent or so. There's a Dutch superstition that if one receives a knife (or similar) as a present, it will cut love and friendship; so it must be sold. :wink:
A famous anecdote is about our beloved queen Juliana (1948-1980), who once was given a hunter's knife and wanted to give the man who gave it to her a cent. But queens don't have wallets, so one of her ladies-in-waiting had to look for a coin.
