The blade finished  to this point runs $50.00 if it is to be sharpened and base ground 75, mounted  in the some fashion to those in the group photo would start at $200.00. In answer to me having a web site, no I’m a country boy just trying to get on line. However if there was a web site builder in the group I do have some trading stock and would like talk to some one about it.

Hey Stephen, it's great to have you in the Arsenal my friend.

Thanks for joining. 

Thanks Brother.  I still have some of them...

Thanks. I am really enjoying it

Thank you Stephan.  That attractive dude looks just like me!

Stephen, I am really liking the smooth bone Scagel that is made by GEC that I posted this morning. It feels GREAT in hand!

Stephen, I agree with you about the Boker Camp knife. To answer your question the Geppetto Whittler feels pretty good in hand. I still prefer the #56 Dogleg Jack's feel though. The little blades cut into the fingers a bit on the #57 and to me it feels a little odd with the big part of the handle up front and the small part in back. If I was using it I guess that I would get used to it but I'm still sold on the #56 instead.

Hey thanks for all of your nice comments on my knives sir! Tom

Hello Stephen

Thanks for your comment. That is the knife that got me started in R.H. Ruana knives. My dad got it in 1945 and gave it to me years later in the 1990's.

Hello Stephen,  Thank you for your comment. I do have alot of knives.  Most of them are put away in secure storage for pass down to my childern and grandchildren. I had a computer chash last year and it wiped out my pictures that were not backed up. I need to take some new pictires of the knives I keep for display and I will post some of those photos. The ones I keep for display are my best ones anyway.

For the past couple of years I have been collecting antique Japanese swords but I still pick up a Knife now and then.  Take care,   Mark.

Managed to add a big chinese bowie of quality. Those guys are definitely qjnning up the learning curve, while keeping a bit of local flavor like exoric wood handles. Your greets made my day, amigo!

I remember my granddad hitting 65 and my amazement. I must go camping more, and think of some new gadget to buy. My wife does not understand why I put a sack of axes, a sack of knives and hatchets, compasses, GPSs, whistle and survival manual when all I can do is camp a few yards from the back of my F-150 Ford, and there is a passable cafe or two within 5 miles.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes.

Wooo Hoooo!

Thanks for the wild birthday card!!

Derek Smith

Thank you Stephen!

Hahahaha.  I still have my own teeth, but thanks for the birthday wishes, Stephen.
