Jeremi, Welcome to the Great Eastern Cutlery Group, We're glad you joined us.

Happy B'day Jeremi!

Happy Birthday

thanks for the add! nice collection! and nice toy shots!

Dude .. I'm envious .. where do you get all the titanium remnants to play w/ ??

Hey dude .. I finally looked up Maricopa, AZ. Yeah .. you're not real close to the best camping ..ouch !!

What about a planned overnighter in the in the (much closer) desert. I don't know the local area there .. & lack of xport is limiting .. perhaps something both close enough to bike too & remote enough for "no people" .. stash supplies one weekend & bike in w/ shelter to enjoy next wkend ?!?! maybe ?!?!

Cool .. thanks .. glad you liked the "just plain fun" pics. I do like Mother Nature !! But haven't done any camping this yr :(

You ?? Is camping out your way ??desert?? or pretty rough terrain .. I'm not sure where Maricopa is .. or much else in AZ .. are there mtns close enough that you can get into ????

Hey man, you got a lot of sweet gear.

Hi Jeremy. T he Scorpion was my unit badge when i was in the forces, have it tatoo'ed on my left shoulder as well and haveused it ever since. Good luck with the knife making- once hooked you will never stop. If you need advice ask and i will help where i can.

Hey, knives and NY kind of have a love-hate relationship. In NYC I don't carry more than a swiss army knife for fear of being crucified. Outside of the city I pretty much carry anything I want and no one cares.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the friendship request. Family moved to Berkeley in the 70's, I've been living in Walnut Creek for 10 years and like it out here. Job market sucks but we're surviving...my wife works and I'm picking up work here and there for friends, was in the computer biz for years and in the construction biz before getting injured on the job.

Been collecting knives all my life, it's my main hobby....Joe

Hi Jeremi-that is great. You would like to add Wesley as a friend as well-he's the boffin on these.

Kind regards
Dennis

Your new avatar photo is one impressive rosette of hawks. Some fine designs. Reminds me of some for my "must have" list.

Jeremi, I have a house in Flag that I don't get to visit nearly often enough and only get down to the valley every couple of years, usually for a gun show.
Really like your slideshow; you have some sick knives there. Have you seen Phill Hartsfield's work? He's pretty pricey, but seems to be always sold out. I only have a few pieces of Asian steel, one of which I carry daily(Cold Steel, folding Tanto). I used to throw knives and axes when I was younger and a lot stronger. I would amuse myself by throwing a double bit ax at an old poplar snag and alternate handle up and handle down.

We made that picture with the earth-moon-earth bounce laser system back in the early days. The colors were changed according to the tiny wobble of the moon during the 58 days it took to send the photo's 1,000,000 pixels at 5 seconds each. One of the guys joked that the last transmission from earth might already been sent -- that picture! So we all went down to Ft. Davis and had some Mexican food and beverages. I kept it and always liked it. Besides, I'm not that good looking up close. Here's one of the first digital images ever taken:

This is the original 1000x1000 was cropped to a 531x709 and contour processing had begun to correct it, here:

and the guys did a more recent one in 2008 they say shows me dissolving back into the universe:

And some of the other guys suggested I ain't nearly as pretty as a pot of my famous habanero frijoles, so y'all can vote on this picture too:

Really fine looking knives. The test cutting is very interesting. I've had a Randall thrower since 1966 and even tossed it a few times without much success. Had better results with small non-regulation double bit axes. Grete photos!
