Hi Guido, Michael, Bernd and all, I am delighted that the word is FINALLY getting out about good NanTans. I have hyped them since the old "VOYAGE!" magazine days. They are interesting, unique, and all of mine are surprisingly stable - And remember, in San Diego I won't even deal in cut irons due to the Salt sea air. Perhaps I can look up the old photos I have of natural Nan Tan Xls. Michael On 5/11/11 11:54 AM, "Met.
