Tactical Knives is always looking for letters to the editor we can run in the magazine. Is there anything you would like to ask us?

That is a question running on Tactical Knives Facebook Page.  I think you should all be able to see it and respond!

I bet you are thinking where did they go!  Well Larry had to work 3 full days after Labor Day and early morning Friday morning.  I have been busy on paperwork and the kids with my asthma kicked in.  But Larry is resting up today so I am taking it easy myself.  Nope not in the shop this morning.  He has 2 knives he would have liked to have completed this weekend but they will be here when he gets to them.

So for a final Blog on the Committee knife project (a project is something started with a definate end in mind therefore this was a project to me and you were all my colleagues in this project/on the project board) I'll explain how to buy the committee knife.

And after that I'll repost all the pictures in order of how the knife was constructed :-)

The auction

Here's how the auction will go. It'll be my own variation of a…

Larry started late Thursday afternoon and has completed 5 folders so far.  I have not posted the last 2 on iKnives as of yet.  The last 2 are less expensive as they have less expensive handle materials.  It is nice to see him back at the folders again after almost 9 months! 

December 2012 he was was working hard in his shop and came in feeling really bad.  We headed to the clinic but ended up at the ER and life flighted to Albany, GA.  He had a heart attack and died on the flight…

Larry gets another 4 day weekend.  He is back in the knife shop this morning.  He got his materials in so his goal is to complete 3 folders over the weekend.  They are going to be absolutely gorgeous.  He is making sure they are worth the wait.  I can't wait to see them myself since I don't get to spend too much time in the shop because of dang allergies. 

I did not blog yesterday.  Tamera and I went to Tifton to visit with her friend who just had a baby boy. 

Larry has been working diligently getting his next folders ready for handles.  His suppies still did not come yesterday but were promised to him TODAY!!  So you should see some mew things SOON!! 

During the week things are slow with the knifemaking.  In a perfect world we could afford insurance so that he could do this full time.  There are no jobs here.  We live in a very small town that is falling apart.  So we are working hard on making quality knives at an affordable price.  I…

Larry is patiently waiting on a supply order to assemble the new knives.  He has materials but you know sometime what you visualize is just not before you.  So he is waiting.....so we wait....but well worth the wait.  He is framing out and getting ready for the final assembly when the handle materials get here.  Unless you have seen a knife maker construct a folding knife from beginning to end, you really can not understand why someone would spend so much money on one knife.  It is truly a…

Larry enjoyed his 4 day weekend BUT it's back to the insurance job today.  He took the afternoon off yesterday and I have shipping to do today.  He has a supply shipment he is waiting on to finish the 3 he has framed out now.  Sometimes this is hurry up and wait.  Hopefully more pics will come soon! 

Well, he said he was taking today off.  BUT guess where Larry is this morning?  Wait now....the first one does not count! LOL  This year he has built all total 10 pocket knives.  3 orders, 2 as gifts, 1 as barter and 4 to sell.  By this time he has usually built approximately 30-40.  We only have 1 of the 10 left.  We did not realize how patiently everyone had been Well until he gets his order in, he is on hold because his handle material is in there for the next few.  But keep watching,…

Some people go to the beach, some go to the mountains, some just put their feet up and watch TV when they have the luxury of  a 4 day weekend.  What does Larry do?  Yep you guessed it, he goes to the knife shop.  Thursday and Friday were really productive but early this morning he was up and back in there.  That man really LOVES to make knives.  Look for something new today or tomorrow!!

I took a lot of pictures of some really nice knives and I will share them on the media with photos.

Here is Charles Reed, a member of IKC, he thought I had aged a lot.

Sorry to miss David Rice, Ryan Daniels, and Joe Spalding who I think are…

Attended the Central Kentucky Knife Collectors Show in Lexington, KY today and very much enjoyed it. For the first day, the show seemed very well attended. The room was full with 60 tables and 2 tables in the lobby. Despite buying 11 Knives and spending more than I intended, it was my pleasure to meet 3 IKC members. It seemed like we knew each other already, and they recognized me from the forum. Charles said I looked a lot older than my picture - LOL. I'll let the pictures do most of the…

Went to the Central Ky Knife Show today and my addiction flared. I bought 11 Knives and when I got home one was waiting for me from the mail.

The first photo shows a Parker Stag, a Case Stag, a Buck, a KaBar Dogs Head, and a Parker Butter Bean.

The second photo shows 2 Boker imports with Scripture verses on them and a RR USMC Jack…

I have looked around and I can not find one knife club that has had a knife maker, make their club knives. There very well may be some but I can't find them. This should make our knives this year kinda rare.

   September is almost here, along with the due date for this years knives. I am starting to get excited, this will be my third, one.

    I want to thank Miss Jan and the staff for their hard work, in getting this years knife project, completed. Also, to everyone that added…

When you hunt Deer, its a good idea to be where the deer are. Same for Knife Hunting - there are places where knives hang out for sale.

This is just a listing of places where I find knives - generally in my area but anywhere really.

Bill Goodman's Gun and Knife shows - not many vintage knives, but lots of imports and tactical knives. I am going to one tomorrow.

Ohio Gun Collectors Assn-good place to pick up some nice knives that appeal to your taste.

Bass Pro -…

Just wondering how you guys stand on filework.

(not my picture, came from http://makestuffwithyourhands.files.wordpress.com)

Like it? Don't like it? Just the blade? Just the handle? what're you thinking?

Personally I like it as long as the rest of the knife…

Hey Jan & Don,

4 new knives in the last couple of days! One was the Green Spyderco Paramilitary 2 CTS-204P that I had been trying to get for over a year and a half. I also got a Spyderco Native, an Orange Victorinox Hunter XT, and a coffin shaped, solid stainless steel Wenger Traveler.

These 2 came today...

And here are all 4 together...…
