"I did not end up going today.
We left the house at 5:45am and drove 3 hours to get to our destination. Looked around there and talked for a couple of hours, then did the return trip (stopping for lunch along the way).

J. Rodgers & Sons
"Good call Lars!
I found most of his marlin spike knives on page 18 of his photos. I think there was another on page 1...
But unfortunately, I did not see any from Sheffield England."

It was manufactured in Germany; is a low series (B), which indicates an early production - which matches the manufacture time frame of the…"

My voice is cracked, my throats worn out, and my lungs are going fast."

"Ha! Amen brother...sing it loud!!!"
M1895 Chilean Mauser bayonet
It just arrived today.Absolutely fantastic condition, Serial numbers on the blade and the scabbard match; about 95% original bluing on the scabbard; blade remains shiny with no indication of polishing to clean throughout the years. I did some very superficial cleaning and then gave it a nice coating of some nice renaissance wax. When I am able to get some decent photos (hopefully tomorrow), I will share those.If the bayonet bug bites you, resistance is futile. Lol.It just starts with…See More
Buck 110 Customized
"Nice looking 110.
Did you customize the bolsters too? I do not feel at all adept enough to try that yet. Maybe someday."
"Very nice work Andy!
I honestly was not that impressed with the 'before' knives. But after you disassemble them, clean then up nicely, and re-handle them, they are looking pretty classy. I like to think that I appreciate good…"
USN Mk2 - rebuild
"It is pretty obvious to me that my knife has been sharpened quite a bit. I suspect that the tip may have been broken off and the blade reground at one time, thus leaving it a bit shorter. None of the negatives detract from the value of…"

Hey man...thanks for the friend request...of course I accepted! As for sending private messages, this is just fine - but if you truely want to send a private message - use the iKC email - upper right hand corner of your page in the area of your name, sign out, Fried requests, etc...
I wanted to start a formal stand-alone CFK group, but I could not accurately gauge if it would be accepted or not - so I started the it as a sub-group in the Box Full of Knives Box of Knives. I'm glad i did - as I commented to Lead Left Knife Guy , I seem to be the only one playing in that sand box at the moment, and I'm not sure my ego could manage no one join a group! LoL!
Right now it looks like it's just my thread....but if you add a post to it, then it will be as it is intended - a place to appreciate the CFK/iPAC brand.
