"kind of a last minute, probably trivial thing... I just saw this.
The event starts about 8 AM; not PM. Just a simple typo, but no sense knowingly having incorrect data out there.
I hope to be able to see some of you there!"

Good Evening!I acquired an old axe head a few years ago and I never thought much about it. I found it in an old barn and the owner gave it to me as junk. I had sort of planned on cleaning it,…Continue

While I really enjoy these knives, I am afraid I do not have a good feel for its value. I can only drool.

"I found an older article by Frank Trzaska (from 2004) It is a lengthy one, but I am going to try to copy it here.
NOPE! the maximum character length is 4000. I will try to place it elsewhere. It is an interesting…"
"OH! I was not aware of those. I will have to do more research on them. Did Case use the same buttcap design as Cattaraugus? If I did not know better, I would have guessed those were made by Cattaraugus. LOL!

"Looks good Kevin. I have a few that I was able to just clean up. I usually find the ones that are ready for the crap can to restore as these are more affordable to feed this habit."
"These do look great. I know what you mean about preserving makers marks and such. I have a couple old corn knives I did similar cleanup on. One is blade marked (middle of the blade) Rock River Co. Slightly faint to start with so I decided to only do…"

Those are neat knives.
I cleaned one up a while ago. No real restoration to it, Just a bit of a cleaning is all. Mine had the original sheath and…"

Sorry it took me a bit to get pictures of the stamps and get them sorted and measured. It probably was a good thing to do, but I had not done it yet.
Okay, here is a text breakdown of the bigger files I was given. I have cleaned…"

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.
