Ken, thanks for the friend request. You are my knida guy, hunting, fishing, knife collecting and a family man. A strong belief in God. A Military Man. I am glad to have you as a friend.

Thanks for the add. I look forward to sharing our appreciation of "edged tools".

Ken, thanks for the like on my "Case Triple Crown Set". I never thought I would have a chance to own this set. I had only seen one other set several years ago that belonged to a member of the CKKC knife club. In looking at your pix, looks like you have a good collection and it appears, perhaps some of your family has a liking to knives as well.

I gladly accept your friendship & by all means I welcome your attendance to our show in August. We are around 120 tables now with about 50 dealers. I am sure we will add a few more before the show date.

Ken, welcome to the Stockman Pattern Group. Thanks for joining.

Ken, thanks for joining the Buck Knives Group.

Ken I love it very nice !! "old knife"

It's a honor, my friend!

Cheers!

Thanks for all the great comments. Looks like a great site!

Thank you! Looking forward to spending lots of time here! And I thought I had too many knives...

Back at ya, my broster!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the "50 years" part of that equation! Seems like only yesterday, ya know?

Cheers, my friend!

I loved all of your flower photographs! Thanks for posting them to your page.

Thank you. One of my best friends is the minister at the church next door. He and his wife are extremely kind people. Glad to see your involved with the Church.

Hello Ken, It is a pleasure to be amoung so many friendly people.I am looking forward to the journey.

Thanks Ken. Glad to be here. Excited about knives, so looking forward to being in touch with other knife enthusiasts from around the globe.

Thank you Ken. Good to hear from a former Michigander. Grayling is about 50 miles north.

Ken .. thanks for noticing the pics of the Microtech clone I posted.

Say .. how'd you make out w/ the camera purchase .. you happy w/ what you purchased ??? 

Quite seriously .. take loads of pics !!! @ first .. most may not be usable. With practice .. the good % increases !!

Also, what software are you using for post editing ???

Ken, I don't think they make a larger Blackhorn.  I checked SMKW and KnifeCenter.com.  They both only list Mini Blackhorns.  I really like my Mini Blackhorn too.  It is a sweet little knife.

Yes, Lefty had a nice rack anyway.  If his right antler had matched his left, he would have been a wall hanger.  I killed two bucks last season, Lefty and a seven point.  In this picture the small rack inside Lefty's is the seven point.

Hi Ken, you said you were looking for a Dogshead Ka-Bar, well I found this little jewel. It's a "Ka-Bar Dogshead, two blade Barlow with nice stag handle. There's two days left on it on Ebay, the current price is $43.00. The # is 370867302202  Good luck, your buddy, Rob.

Bless your heart, I am happy for you, enjoy....Rob

Thanks Ken, looking forward to lots more interesting discussions.

Ken, my trick is simple. You must look where people post the wrong name for a brand or type knife. Lets say you are looking for a Case knife. Well the best deals may not be in the Case section. The seller might put it up say "American Knives". Or instead of a "Kissing Crane" the seller might put it under "German Knives". Get me, the bidding will be much less. Let me know if you have more questions.

Ken, yes yours looks just like mine, down to the tang stamp with no date code.

no real knife dealers in shops there, but on thursday friday,sat. mornings they do have a flea market in a pioneer village, field across from  LOWES in wheelersburg. Hillbilly flea market in ashland KY which would be across the bridge 52 east of wheelersburg and east on 23  till you get close to ashland is on left hand side of road(25 miles +/-).

Ken, I saw you ordered the Caliber.  Even though I know exactly what it looks like, I am waiting for you to post pics.

Thank you! You're right, I do like it here(:

Ken, indeed, I do love those pics! Thanks for thinking about me with these photos. I wish I had a scanner because I have a shoebox full of old school paper pics I took of hummingbirds, up close, taken with a macro lens. I would just stand still next to one of my low hanging feeders with my camera in the ready position merely inches from the feeding tube. The birds would seem oblivious to me standing there and would fly right up and stick their beaks into the tube and extract their syrupy sweet reward. 

Ya know it just now occurred to me that I don't need a scanner. I could just take some photographs of the photographs. Duh! I'm not too dense, am I! Now that I have solved that problem, next would be to retrieve them from storage. Hmm? Not today. But, thanks -- You've given me a great idea!

I love your photographs! In fact, I would venture to say that I am living vicariously through you and the magic that occurs in your garden! Thank your lovely wife, also, for her green thumb, without which there would be no pogey bait for the butterflies n' birds!

Thank you. Same to you!

Great Ken, I knew it would be great with stag handles and all. That same night I got a Kissing Crane, whittler, that wasn't listed under Kissing Crane but German knife. I made a great deal, just like you. Enjoy. If I can help let me know. If there is something special you want let me know.

Thanks Ken . Same here. Stay sharp and keep'em loaded.

yes that is the flea market field across from Lowe's in Wheelersburg, DID ya find any knives or was it closed down for the day

Thanks for the welcome, Ken. I am impressed with the forum. Very nice.

Hey, back at ya, my brother! Congratulations on your 49th anniversary! Seems like only yesterday, eh! We were just babies back then. Thank you for your service -- and, welcome home, my friend!

Thanks for the like on my muskrat & stockman. I selectively collect both of these patterns and got these at a good price. Thank you for attending our club show & taking pictures. Keep our Spring Show (April 18,19 & 20) on your calendar.

Ken,

It is a Blog called "Mail Call/New Arrivals" , here is the link: http://www.iknifecollector.com/profiles/blogs/mail-call-new-arrivals

Ken

Thanks for posting your photos in the iKC Arsenal contest.  Unfortunately the rules are only one entry per person.  Which of the two pics do you want to be your entry?  And if you don't mind, after you choose one, I will delete the other to make it easier on us judges when we judge the contest.

BTW, just curious, who is that holding your crossbow?  Son, grandson?

Again thanks for your entry.

like that lunch,we could talk knives over that.

Ken,

The Parker show is one of the oldest shows on the circuit.  It is beautiful to see TN in December.  I have not been to the show in a couple of years.  The last I heard the deals were fantastic, based on not so many folks coming to the show.  Lots of dealers there but not so many visitors.  There are many knives represented, many of the older knives show up there

thanks for the likes. the cable damascus was a real job trying to keep the rope detail while going to super polished edge. cable damascus may not be the prettiest-but it makes a unbelievable "cutter" 

Thanks for the add.

Thank you Ken for the worm welcome.i am looking forword to the site, 

Thanks Ken.  I'm glad that I found the forum.

Thank you for the welcome Ken!

thanks,glad to be here!

Hey, thanks for the welcome Ken

Sex and drugs and Rock'n Roll?

Ken,

Excellent!!!  I am so happy you were able to go there and meet Kevin!  I hope you got a tour at the Museum?

Thanks for the welcome Ken!

Thanks Ken, Have a wonderful day
