Crusader Monk not taking commissions

Just a heads up that Crusader Monk is shutting down. No specific word on if it's permanent, but at the moment it appears that it may be.

From his site-

This is not a permanent measure, Crusader Monk will eventually return. I greatly apperciate your business over the years, and look forward to serving
you again in the future. In the meantime, I heartily recommend both Christian Fletcher and DBK Scabbards for your custom sword needs.

I think that's leftover from when he was deployed earlier this year / last year? From myArmoury, yesterday:

Quote
Crusader Monk will be closing the doors indefinitely as of today. In short, I was offered a full-time job with the U.S. Army as a civilian instructor. While the job is not terribly far away - the additional changes of going through a separation and relocating my residence won't allow me to take further commissions.

Crusader Monk will eventually return, of that I have no doubt. However, once again, I want to extend my genuine thanks and appreciate to those who have supported the shoppe over the last few years.

Well...it seems he's got a lot going on.  I appreciate him reaching out like this...he could've just taken money and disappeared like others have done (not that he would, Jon's an honorable sort).  God go with him.
