Thanks Steve.

Thank you Steve !!!

A late Thank you for the Birthday card

Steve,

thanks for the suggestion I am dumb as a stump and trying to learn where and what! I'll get there eventually. Have a nice day.

Alan

Thanks for the welcome.  I wish I knew then what I know now, I'd sure have a lot more knives.  I imagine everyone can say that.  When I was heavy into the blacksmithing hobby I knew some guys who were really getting good at Damascus Knives.  Those are the beauties of knives, to me.  

Regards,

EKW

Thanks!

hey Steve thank you for birthday card its a gooden

thank you for the birthday card

Thanks Steve,  Looking forward to spending some time on the site. I'm always happy to answer questions on vintage switchblades if anyone has them, as well as always looking to learn more about them myself! I'm currently working on my second book on the subject.    Mark

Thanks for the warm welcome, Steve...This looks like a good hangout!

Thanks for the welcome Steve.

Thanks Steve.

Been around knife forums for a while, just my first visit here. Not a collector, just an accumulator. Collecting takes to much direction. lol

Thanks for adding me Steve!

Hay Steve, nice photo of your dogs... No, no cake.  Trying to finish up a couple bowies today. Got wrapped up in trying to finish my novel yesterday,  " Purple Rains ". It's  about an early western adventure with some humor, interesting Indian encounters, & treasure hunting.  Oh ya, and some unsuspecting romance. It takes place when the west was wide open for adventure.  ( 1829 - 1843 )  277 page feel good read.  Any way, It's Easy to keep plenty busy. Got to get back to knife making.  Never a dull moment around here!  Lol, Take care Steve & thanks for your comment.

Thanks Manx, I will supply the Rum, you may bring the cake!

Hi, Manx!  Thanks for your birthday greetings.  This would have been a non-event day except that I've decided to start playing electric guitar again after 20 yrs.  So, thanks to Amazon & eBay, I now have a new guitar (Epiphone SG) & 4 different amplifiers (3 of them Fenders) to play with.  Somewhere between my quitting & my current obsession they made big changes to amps -- They're computerized now!  Might have to go back to college to learn how to use these things, lol!

Thanks, Steve.  Yes, I hope I get a knife for my birthday, too!

Thanks for the BDay wishes,  Have a Great Day yourself!

Hey, Manx!  I know that's right.  I bought a portable Fender Mustang Mini amp which allows you to set up your sounds & store them into 3 banks of 8 selections each.  (The bigger 4 Mustangs allow more.)  You can set your selection of amp, the settings to make that amp, & finally an effect (mine holds 12) to go with it.

They also provide free software called FUSE to display your parameters on your computer, change them, store them, download them, & even trade them with other Users Group members.  They've even got prerecorded riffs for you to practice with.  And a free AC-adaptor for when you don't want to depend on batteries.  And a headphone out.  And an Mpeg in.  And a built-in tuner to boot.

Like a big Swiss Army Knife this is a toy extraordinare.  I've even been considering the big foot "pedal" controller -- so I can change settings & presettings with my toes, lol.  My only concern is that we're going to hear a lot of lazy guitar players using only 1 or 2 favorite preprogrammed sounds.  Like Jimi Hendrix using the same pedal over & over again.

Thank you for the birthday wish

Thanks Steve

Thank you very much for the birthday wish.

Thanks Steve.

Wow, never thought I'd make 2/3 of a century! I'll save a piece of cake for those two fine dogs— aarrf! woof!

Thank you for accepting.

Thanks, Manx. I always hope for a new knife. And if I don't get, one I find one.

Thank-you for the welcome.  New to computers and to forums so a lot of my stuff never makes it to its intended target and I am still trying to learn how to take photo with iPad send to computer, size and post.  Max at Case Forum recommended your site and I finally was able to figure out how to join on computer.  I will get the hang of it someday, just don't quit trying seems to work for me, however slowly.  Look forward to exploring the site, I'll ask Max for some pointers.  God Bless!!!  Walt

I did get a new knife at the expo. The meeting was pretty good last night. Hope you can make it sometime. Thanks for the reply. Have a great week, J...

Thanks very much to everyone for all the great welcomes!  I appreciate that.

Steve: just wanted to say thanks. Should be a great day. Don’t have to wash dishes, moe the lawn, take the garbage out, or make the bed. I can Knapp, go fishing, bottle hunting or just set and soak up some sunshine. Thanks to all and to all have as good a day as i do.

Thank you very much Steve     Fred

Good evening Manx.  Enjoyed your E-mail several days ago.  Chose to ask you and tap you for a bit of info.

     I have a couple knifes that I came across years ago.  I do not know their origin.  I would like to find the makers.  Could you give me  the acceptable way for IKC so I can show a pic or two?

What'd I do? I must have commented a lot. Because I haven't contributed much content recently. I will take the accolades whenever I can get them. Thanks!!

Steve,

thanks for the b-day wishes. I hope you wake up every morning with a new knife under your tree!  Alan

Thank you.  I appreciate the wishes.

Chris

Thanks for the great Birthday wishes Steve.  Wes Painter

Thank you Steve!

Hi Steve, thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the birthday wish Manx. # 74 seemed to get here faster than #73 but that's life. I enjoy them all. Thanks again.

Thank you very much Steve. I have discovered that as you get older, the birthdays are less than a year apart, or so it seems.
