OK, so here is the deal. We all seem to be jumping through hoops to not mention any dealers names. We can all settle down, mention any dealer we want (no advertising, it is an iKC rule) and get back to normal. We all buy from dealers and there is plenty of us, I am sure we are all buying from one or another.
Really Jan?
Thanks for the info on that material Johnny, very cool!!
Johnny, my favorite dealer!
That was the idea Gary. We had been crying for a sodbuster knife for a while and one of the dealers got GEC to do it. Because of that it was a special for that one dealer, not a problem, but now I'm not sure that we'll see more runs of this pattern.
Thanks for the pics, Johnny. Kinda looks like a sodbuster; I like 'em.
A little on the Percheron,
The Percheron is a breed of draft horses that originated in the Huisne river valley in northern France, part of the former Perche province from which the breed takes its name. Usually gray or black in color, Percherons are well-muscled, and known for their intelligence and willingness to work. Although their exact origins are unknown, the ancestors of the breed were present in the valley by the 17th century. They were originally bred for use as war horses. Over time, they began to be used for pulling stage coaches and later for agriculture and hauling heavy goods. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Arabian blood was added to the breed. Exports of Percherons from France to the United States and other countries rose exponentially in the late 19th century, and the first purely Percheron stud book was created in France in 1883.
These are the only two variations so far, I hope to see more soon, but again, I'm not sure that we will.
Jan, I didn't get to see it yet.
How do I find it?
