I would like to see the Chechen Rose

Che Chen Rosewood it is Jan! Now available at Old Hundred Collectibles

This is a very nice knife Bob.  Thanks for sharing the photo.

LOVE IT!  Wish it had a beavertail :(

Wonder who the special guest is?

Ya'll be careful, driving over there. Please take a lot of pictures.

Yep I'll second that.

Had dinner and a coke with Chris tonight :)

I understand there are two knives done special for Blade AND there is a knife making its debut.  Any guesses?  Pictures tomorrow!!!

Miss Jan, ask them what "Babylon Hill" means. Tell everyone hello for us Poboys and Gals.lol

Babylon Hill was the house of ill repute once owned by Ben Hogan and Kate LeCounte  (French Kate). It was on a hill  outside Tidioute.

Wow, I see, thanks David. It sounds like a place down in New Orleans, it was so bad, if you didn't have a knife when you got there, they'd give you one.

Babylon Hill is a summit (or hill) in Tidioute, Pennsylvania.  It forms the west border of the Allegheny National Forest.  The rest of it David shared LOL

Chris and Billy were kind enough to allow us a first look at the Blade Show knives and they are SWEET.  The 06 Pemberton is available in both interior and exterior Ivory.  This is the first time I have held the Pemberton, I like the size and in Ivory it is beautiful.  The Swing guard is making its debut available in CheChen Rose and Kingwood for the show

Those are some nice looking knives.

Thank you Alexander, these are the two that came home :)

Those are REALLY SWEET, Jan! I love the shield! Ivory??? What kind of Ivory is that?

Wow Miss Jan, I like em, I like em a lot. I seem to never see these offered for sell anymore. With Ivory, I mean.

Thanks guys! It is Elephant Ivory, one bark and one interior.  They were a special run for the Blade show and they are pretty amazing!

Bob,

are you going to carry that Molted Bone?

Not on this one Jan,I'm sticking to the Swing Guards. I do however have the 92 Eureka Trapper ordered in Tidioute Smooth Calico Bone.

SWING GUARD!! Someone say SWING GUARD?!!  Jan I am waiting for the Bone Swing Guard with bated breath....or abated breath for you English lit folks.

Clint, Call Chris this week Phone: 814-827-3411

I won't be stocking those either.

I will however be stocking the Burnt Stag Swing Guards on Monday.

193 members in this group and not one comment in 10 days? What's up with that?

They may be Bobs way of asking what can we do to get your attention and get you talking again LOL

I not only like that Blue but that smooth bone says "take me home" to me

Special Rendezvous Guest Revealed

Hey now, what's up with the Rendezvous, knife this year. We had a few guess and a few opinions but we need to find out what GEC collectors think it will be.

My guess was a large Whittler, back in May, but what the heck to I know. Ya'll, give it your best guess.

We won't take your Birthday away, if you guess and get it wrong. Miss Jan, promised.

Will, that's a fine Blue Bone knife. Are you thinking of getting one?

NEW TUBE POPPER STICK

Hey, that's a great idea.....

One of only 5 made I believe.

Great looking knife.

Real Sweet!

Bob,

Is that a sleeveboard with a coping blade

Actually it is a sheepsfoot secondary. Just the way the picture turned out.

So I know Bob will be at the GEC gathering and my plan is to be there every morning to say hi and see our friends there.  I really dont want to miss seeing any iKC members so please let me know if you will be there

Has anybody heard from Johnny Two Shoes? He used to be very active here but I haven't heard or seen anything of him in quite some time. I'm assuming he's a very busy young man?

Bob,

Johnny has indeed become a very busy young man.  I am hoping we will be able to see  him this year

I certainly hope so too Jan!

Bob I sent Johnny an email to see if he and the family will be coming
