Jan, thanks for joining the Buck Knives Group.

Thank you for the warm welcome, Jan.  This is the friendliest knife collector forum I've had the pleasure of joing.

I sent you and Steve a mesage earlier today, I don't know if ya'll got the message. By this time of night the medicicine is making my spelling a little wrong. The doctor called today and said that they are gonna put a pain device in my back tuesday. I had no idea this was gonna happen. Bless ya'll heart, I'll be alright.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

The staying alive part gets more important every day huh!

Jan, thanks for the welcome message. I have taken photos of Dad's knives, and will load them up, after I figure out how? I appreciate your offer to help me ID some of them. 

Miss Jan, after my doctors appt. last week, all the doctors had a conference, then called my Friday and told me to come in today for test and tommorrow for another back operation. They plan on installing some sort of devise in my back that looks like a pace maker. It's a little box, with wires coming out of it. The idea is its supposed to stop some of the pain in my back. They say it's not a bad opperation like the other orthropedic surgeries. All I know, is it's another operation, number 12. Lord mercy. Please say a little prayer for me, thank ya'll.

My pleasure to be your friend,Jan Carter

Thank you Jan, that's a great B'day card.

Jim

Thank you. Nice card!

Jim

You're so thoughtful!!!  Thank you very much!  Kewl card too!

Hey sweet lady, I thought I'd give you an update on my medical situation. The bad news, I'm still in terrible pain. The good news, they plan on operating August 23 to put in that contraption in my back that's gonna take some of the pain away. Please, pray for ole Pawpaw, I need some releif. Saint Judes Hospital has decide to come and help me, I think my doctor called them. We have insurance, so I have no idea why they are coming to do the operation. This will be my 12th operation, I sure do hope this is the last one, it is getting harder and harder to recover from them. Thanks.

I've been hanging low lately but I think things might get better. I hope to talk more when I feel better. Love ya'll.

thanks for the nice comments! my picture taking skills are going to have to improve! lol  that buffalo  is the only proto i own, I'll try and get pics of some more of my collection within the next week or so,..thanks again!  Jeff

Jan .. does GEC make any SMALL single blade knives ??? When I say it's small .. I mean 2 3/8 closed. .. or there about.
I gave Abby a Case 61154 while we were still dating .. but .. she prefers wood scales & just asked if I could get a similar knife scaled w/ wood. I am unable to find anything made by Case .. i.e. a 71154 or a 11154 or a P1154.
Pls let me know if anything comes to mind.
Thanks .. D ale.

Thanks, Jan !!!

  Hey, Miss Jan and Donnie, I made it through my surgery alright. It was a little harder than I thought. They said, it was because of all my problems, they seem to get harder and harder every time. I had lost count on how many surgeries I have had, they counted them all up and it's #17. I told them, I'm gonna quit when it gets to #21,lol. I have not had a chance to send my money order in for the club knife. I have been busy, with my operation and they started putting a 10X16 bathroom on the girls cottage this week. Then, we have a friend visting from out of the Gulf.lol. Please, tell them, if they need my money order, to just wait a little bit. I am a man of my word, I will pay for it, when things settle down. Bless ya'll. Thank, Rob.

thanks for the birthday wish!

Hi Jan, Thanks for looking at my new large Bowie knife. It has a 15.5" blade and is 23" overall, but it is well balanced, and handles like a dream. I have been enjoying it a lot.  Have a great day....          Warren - "Lone Wolf".

Thank you my friend wish you a nice day. 

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your note. Ill get around to taking a picture of some of my great grandfathers knives. He also made a few bottle openers that looked like small animals. His best was a carving set he made for my grandfather and his wife, my grandmother in 1917. Carbon steel with large stag horn handles on the knife and fork. He also engraved it with their names and the date. I have some of his stag horn handles ready for a knife should I ever decide to make one myself. Bill Marx Ft Lauderdale

Hey Jan. We're not telling anyone whether it's a boy or a girl. It'll be due in October and I'm the only one that knows.

Not even my wife knows ;-)

Hi Jan & thanks for the kind words about my old R.H. Boker pearl knife.

Nice job on the crossword !!!

Well Miss Jan, my little family has really taken a very hard blow. My wife of 42 years has sugffered a terrible stroke. They didn't think she would have lived this long. I have put her in a top of the line nursing home. She can eat a little bit and she reconizes us. This has been very hard on the girls after loosing their mom and now this. I have called in some great medical ladies to concil them. My youngest, grand girl as smart as she is, failed, the year we lost their mom. She takes all advanced classes and usually makes almost all A's. Well, she made all C's this past report card. Please, pray for them, they are the best little girls in the world. Bless Ya'll.

Thanks a million.

hello jan....it was great getting to meet you yesterday at SMKW. you are a wonderful person.. Sherry says hello too!  hope you had a great time and a good,uneventful flight. hope to see you again, ..your freinds   Jeff and Sherry POWELL

Hi Jan....Thanks for the comment on my "skinner". This is the 2nd one I have done with this blade. I think it would get the job done & it feels well in hand. Now that the season is changing I will do a few more knives as my winter hobby. Nothing fancy, just good useable knives.
