    ron-still don't know what I'm doing- I thought I was leaving message to you on your comment-but it was a comment on my comment ? on the pic of that snakewood skinner. if I want to respond to a comment you or someone else left for me -I should click your name and leave on your comment wall?Or do you see my response where the pic was? sorry for my confusion.  I also posted a pic of my " acorn skinner in warthog" for you based on your interest in the pic of the one in giraffe. hope you saw it.  you might have been able to tell I like stuff that isn't quite the norm!  thanks for the interest!

    Ron,

    Thanks for the comments & interest. I purchased that SS 3.0 kit from Knifekits.com. Been doing business with them for more than 5 yrs now .. no complaints whatsoever !!! 

    One is pretty much guaranteed success with simple assembly of the kit .. a lil fine tuning can go a long ways too .. add a touch of your own creativity .. and you've a keeper.  

    I am rather pleased with the way this one is turning out.  

    Thanks again for the interest,

    Dale.

    Thanks Ron for the comments regarding my "Case Triple Crown" set of knives. This is a very elusive set of Case knives and it is certainly the highlight of my collection over 40 years. Sounds like you have been close to the horse racing industry. I occasionally go to some of the meets at Keeneland in Lexington and always drop a few bucks.

  • William May

    Thank YOU!!

  • Jim Thompson

    Thanks for the comments on my "Fighter". I have another project started that should occupy my time for a while. If I get the results I expect I will post a pix of it when finished.

  • Steve Scheuerman (Manx)

    Hi Ron, Thank you for the info on the silver Buck knife. I was starting to think it was a maverick.    Your site is Outstanding.  You are truly hooked:)  I admire someone who loves and shares what his interest is and extremely talented as well. TJ Smith

    Thanks Ron, the bolsters on my knives are mostly 303 or 304 stainless. Wish we could get nickel silver in South Africa!

    Thanks again.
