    Thanks for the "like" on my "Case Triple Crown" set of knives.

  • Jim Thompson

    J. J., thanks for the "like" on my fighter. This rainy period was a good time for me to finish it. I have a knife & hatchet combo I am working on now. one of these days a pix will show up on them.

  • Jim Thompson

    J.J., I think the slim profile & it being a sub hilt sorta sets the "fighter" off from an appearance standpoint. It is primarily a "look at"" knife unless you were cutting sugar cane or maybe sticking a hog. It is just too long to carry.

    J.J., I sure do like that Robeson Humpback Whittler you're using on your "Welcome" cards! Sweet looking little knife! Are you using it to carve your pits?

    And, it looks like Allee has kicked you to the curb! lol

  • Ron Cooper

    I think your Greeting pics look just fine, J.J.!

    In fact, I sure am glad that I stopped by your page to post this little note -- I just now enjoyed looking at all of your pics. It had been a spell since I had looked in on your page. It's looking great, my friend!

    Cheers!

    I'm very impressed with your collection! Do you carry your whole collection to shows or is this just your ones for sale? You seem to have a lot of Case knives, of different styles. I enjoy the "Primitive" hand made knives also, but they're real hard to find. I wish mine were as clean as yours, but I'm afraid to hurt the value on the older ones. I also need to hook up with someone that repairs them.

    Great seeing your Babies, take care, Stay sharp, Steve

    Thank you sir! It's nice to be here....I have spent the better part of 40+ years in Colonial's "original" knife factory of 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space. I ran every machine, 5, 10, 20, 45, and 65 ton presses of all sorts in the factory and I am  considered by many as a "Master Cutler"..
