BUY/INVEST IN SILVER INSTEAD OF BUYING THAT NEXT KNIFE...

What buy Silver instead of a knife? What are you talking about JT? I'll tell you...Silver is attainable for the average Joe at $18.35 an ounce. I'm no expert this is just a layman's forray into investing/collecting precious metals. Gold is over $1200.00 an oz., Platinum is over $1500.00 an oz., and Paladium is over $500.00 an oz.

Smithing demo.

I did a bladesmithing demo for a highschool class yesterday. I had the boys try and bend a piece of anealed 1/4 steel then heated the same steel and quenched it in water and asked the girls to bend it. You should have seen the look on thier faces when it broke in 1/2.

In Memoriam A G Russell called and our 2010 Sunfish Club Knife is in!!

I'm excited to report our first-ever iKC club knife is in. A. G. called me today as they finished their inspection of each knife in our order.

I'll be emailing all you members who have reserved one so far. I want to get them in and double check the shipping amount and then will let you know.

A. G. said the exotic Monkey Thorn scales (handles) look fabulous. I asked him to snap me a pic so I could show you the actual knife and black belt holster…

I made the new issue of Blade Mag. in the Knife I Carry section. I had just got home from work when the picture was taken. I was sure surprised when I seen that I was in this issue. Thorvan Patten JR.
