We were already firmly committed to PK, but I described a a couple of concepts that were a bit more "sci-fi" and not really in the PK wheelhouse. One of the brothers was a very talented designer/artist/craftsman and came up with the "Lightning" and "Armageddon" patterns - six of each. If I recall correctly, they were done just before the Mayhem Masters and we took many of them to that event, were I believe we sold what we had taken with us. Tracy may recall the exact number, but there are a number of them (considering only 12 total to start between the two patterns) that have made it back to the U.S. - and kind of just popped up over the past few years. Now the "kicker": We wanted more done but by then the brother with the artistic skills (and temperament) had moved on to building fine furniture and had no interest in the family business - so no more were ever done... Hope that helps to clarify it a bit. Very, very rare... Regards - Forest
