Kogswell! Who knew? Thanks for the tip, Steve. That's exactly the sort of info I was hoping to find when I dove into this discussion. I just went to the Kogswell site, and could not find any forks for sale, so I guess the telephone is their preferred marketing tool. I like Kogswell and check their site from time to time. Their prices seem very reasonable, but they do seem to have an unusual approach to marketing.
