Like Stephen said, she will be in our prayers.
Do let us know if there's anything that we can do.
thanks so much - she has MS - no cure for the damn stuff - it went away for about 25 years or so then about a year ago it came back like a tornado - We have been married almost 49 years - I have always been very protective & able to help fix stuff that comes along in life but with this stuff I'm helpless - every couple of years they come up with something that gives hope but nothing has really helped - the latest stuff cost $4,000.00 a month! no miss print 4 grand a month & it, like so many of the other snake oils they have come up with can have major side effects - some times the cure is worse than the problem - tom
sorry to hear about your wife tom our prayers our with her and you and your family.you do what you need to and we all well help out to keep the site well and going .if you need anything please let us know we are all family here...
You guys are doing a great job keeping the forum going - I thank you for that - MY wife has been having serious health issues & with 6 kids I have been a little busy - I closed down my big web site I used for my engraving - I'm still engraving but it's now a part time deal - No longer doing any firearms - just knives & motorcycle parts for old customers - So keep up the good work - this is one of the few places on the net that we can talk about RR & Marbles knives & not be looked at like a your one step below a bull fighter - again - good job - I look in often - just haven't posted in a while - tom
Yep, you can over do it, I guess.
I'll have to take pics of the two barlows so you can see what I mean. In the case of the one barlow the specks are about what I expect. On the other it is over the limit and makes for an ugly handle.
Yea Robert, I guess everyone likes different things. I like the white bone handles without the specks also. I like them both ways. Those Colt knives are hard to beat for the price.
Hey,Robert Burris,The colts are indeed very well made.if you decide to buy more for Christmas presents the recipients will be very pleased. and i agree about specks in white bone i like them also.
Tobias, that's funny, because I like those specks in the white bone. I have never hit a bad Rough Rider, I know that it is possible. I like to hear the way SMKW took care of your problem. Hey, Robert Benton, I bought a large Colt Moose and I find it very well made. I may buy more this fall for Chirstmas presents.
It's a good company that will go all the way for a sub $10.00 knife. Won't mention the company (On the open forum) that I bought the EyeBrand from but do you think I got any satisfaction on my $5o.00 purchase?
