Thanks for all the birthday wishes,

Thanks for the comment Jan!

Hi Jan, Nice to meet you. Thanks very much for the link to the page on Sheffield Cutlery. Cheers, Steve

Thanks very much mate lol very nice looking cake too yummy

   Thank you very much Jan.   Terry

Miss Jan, I still have not heard anything on my IKC knife, maybe Christi could put a tracking trace on it? Fed-X, does not do good work in this area. Please, no reason to get up set, but a reason to keep an eye on. Thanks, Rob.

Just to let you know, I finally got my club knife. The delivery company sent it to the wrong house. I don't want anything from that company again. Sorry and thanks for your concern.Rob

Hi Jan.  Yes, those are marbles in the photo.  They are more fun now than when I was a kid.

Thanks for asking.

Thank you Jan.  Hope to learn a lot and enjoy my time here.

Thanks Jan. I saw a fishing contest on Outdoor Living but no photo contest. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the welcome Jan!  It's great to be a part of such a great group of folks that share the love of cutlery.

Thanks Jan for the gracious comment on the Button Lock folder. This is the second one of this specific knife that I have done for him, exccept the first was not a "spring assist". Since my son-in-law lives in Georgia & is a Georgia Tech fan, I tried to get as close to the school colors asI could with the handles. Thanks again.

hi jan what do you think about my new name...stephen custom knives--- sck and ingrave that on the knives? sck  i was thinking sick but couldent think what to put for the i........stephen

Thanks Jan! This seems to be a really great forum and hopfully I'll learn a lot here. I'm quite new to knife collecting.

I could really need a new knife for the handbag, though. I only have fixblades (exept my multi-tool of course), which I think take up thoo much space (even though I have a huge handbag). So right now I'm looking for a good folding knife.

Miss Jan, I have some very serious orthropedic medical problems from some bad accidents and after numberous operations I am still in bad shape. They are planning on the first of two operations week after next. Then, after I heal up some perform the secound, it's all gonna be bad. I have had 10 major surgeries all ready, it's all so painfull. I know ya'll have some pull with the man up stairs, so a little prayer will help me, please. I love my new friends I have made here. Thanks, ya'll, your good buddy, Rob!

I think I want something rather sleek and classy. When I'm home or outdoors I'll probably use my bigger fixblades anyway. But I need someting for those occasions when it isn't socially acceptable (or legal) to have a big sheath knife dangling from my belt. Sweden has quite generous knife laws, you can carry a knife if you're planning on using it (for something non-violent and legal, of course). But the knife has to be suited for the use, and I can't say that I acually need a large fixblade going to the resturant with some friends. Therefore I want a smaller knife, more of a typical EDC, but still big (and strong) enough to use. Since I don't have any knife of this type I want one that I can use both as an EDC when I'm going shopping and picking up my kids from nursery/school and for more dressed up occasions. So a simple but stylish look would be nice.

I was thinking about buing a EKA folding knife, but then I thought it would be fun with something non-Scandinavian (I only have Scandi blades and a couple of multi-tools). I've been looking at Kershaw, they have some really classy folding knifes.

Hey Jan,

I got that  bomb shield Smooth Yellow Bone #72 from Greg at TSA. He asked for wish lists and that knife was on mine. It showed up and I was like what is this? I emailed him asking why it had no Rose shield or YR blade etch. He said that the knife came from Ken Daniels and it may have been a pre-production mock up or prototype. I had been thinking about sending it back but with that news I decided to keep it. He had the other standard issue Yellow Rose and offered to swap them out but I asked if I could have that one too for my #72 collection. So I really lucked out!

I really liked them, especially the pink one. Also, I found a similar on Tidioute's home page with a green handle (my favourite colour) which was really cool. Unfortunately they are a bit too expensive for me right now. They are in the price range I had in mind, but you can't buy them anywhere in Sweden and if I would have them shipped from the US, I'll have to pay about 30% more in tax and customs. :-(

But maybe I can get my dad to buy me one next time he is over there. He's in America quite often in his work.

Thanks Jan

Miss Jan, my first operation will be March 14th and the next two will be what ever happens next. My little darlings are crying and not knowing the deal but I want ya'll to know, it's gonna be tough for a while but I'm gonna be alright. Please pray for me but especially for my little girls. They need me a little bit. Bless ya'll's heart...Rob

Thanks Jan!

Yea I enjoy the area. I just got back from the Dover OH shoe Saturday and the Lewisburgh PA show last saturday. I had two great shows

well we will do. Thanks

Thank you

Thanks for the birthday greeting.  Can't believe I'm this old!  Tom

Miss Jan, my operation is wednesday the 14th of March. The doctors have decided to do one big operation instead of two. My doctor has called in another doctor to asit in the surgery, its the only one they will do that day. It's gonna be hard on me, I just hope it turns out well. The prayers from my friends here will be greatly appreciated. I want to say now before my surgery to all my newly found friends that it has been such treat to get to know ya'll and call ya'll my friends. Rob

I don't care what anybody says, that's a great looking knife!  Thanks for the birthday wishes.  Had a relaxing day and got about half-way through (so far) James Morgan Ayres' bookThe Tactical Knife, 2010 Krause Publications.  Essentially, he says a BIG knife (fixed blade) is the thing to have,  but most days and most places it's too big to carry in public, and ultimately it is the knife you have on you at the time your life is in danger that makes the difference - so pick a hearty knife you like that can take abuse and wear it all the time.  Pack the BIG knife if you are planning a visit to the bush, but make sure you have a stout, sturdy knife on you in case you can't get to your pack in time.  As the guy at Equip-To-Endure says:  "If you aren't always prepared, your never prepared."

Thanks Jan for the comment on the "Baby Sunfish. I just added another pix of it in the case which makes it ready now for her Easter basket.

Miss Jan, I made it. The operation was very hard on me and the day after my body had some kind of reaction to the meds or something but they stabilized me and I made it through that okay. Everyone was all worry that day more than the day of the surgery. I felt extra bad that day and all my vitals went through the roof. My mom said she thought I was dying. All that passed and I'm doing fine. I'm back home trying to re coop. Thanks so much for ya'll concern. Rob

Miss Jan, I should be up and around after wednsday of next week. I am gonna order that Case Fishing Knife from AG. Russell and have them ship it to you. If you would take some pictures and post them on the Contest discussion it might help generate more activity in the contest. Thanks.

Thank you so much......Sue

Thank you for the welcome.  Look forward to lots of good info. I go by Rollie

thanks,love the wallpaper.

Awesome, thanks Jan!

I didn't know it before, but one starts having a little more savoring of the flavoring at 65!

Thank you for the birthday wish. Jack

Miss Jan, I have the knife for the fishing contest and I want to ship it to you. I lost your address. Please send it to me. pawpawcoyote@Gmail.com

Miss Jan, I think the dates for the fishing contest are wrong. You have them for only the month of April. We need them to extend for all summer, to get people to stay active alot longer. I will ship you the Case fishing folder as soon as I get your address. Thanks, your good buddy, Rob!

Hello Jan

Thanks much for the B-Day wishes.

Appreciated.

Jan,

I like the Pioneer bone alot! I sorta want to carry this Pioneer #23 but it's a short run and I'm hesitant. It's kind of smooth and kind of rough. It is not anywhere near as dark as Frontier Bone and not as aged as Primitive but rougher than smooth Ivory Bone. It may not be as nice as any of the three but it is almost a cross of all three. I like it but don't like it because it just gives me one more handle type to decide if I have to have it or not.

Thanks, Jan.  I was impressed when I first checked out his blog, not long after he joined.

thank you and im pleased that i got so many emails the first day of being a member. im going to try and answer them all. im getting back into the computer game after some 15  years away. so i ask that you bear with me . thanks again

     With good acquaintances such as all of the members of this elite crew,

     I'd like to extend heartfelt thanks for the birthday wishes from all of you                

                                                                                   Much Appreciated

Thanks, Jan! I really like the photograph. Where can I get one?
