Hi Miss Jan, I hope you are doing fine. The other day an idea came to me, about our great club members. So I thought, I'd share it with you. You may disregard the idea if, you think it's not practical.
The idea is to pick and honor a Member of the year, for our club. We don't need to spend money for a prize, it would just be an honorary type thing. The one person that has contributed the most to our club. We could even have a runner up. My two picks would be Tobias Gibson and Ken Spielvogel. Let me know what you think. The end of the year is almost here. Oh an no Board Members, could be considered, sorry. Because, you would win, hands down....lol
I have not worked up the official announcement for the Spring event. Under heavy workload right here before Christmas (typical for a knifemaker). You can Google "Trackrock Hammer-in" and Trackrock.com for more general info. If you are a member on KNF or Bladeforums a "search" will bring up a lot of past event info with pics as well.
Makes for a great camping weekend getaway. I will send you the formal announcement for posting sometime in Jan.
thanks for looking . this knife is a 4 inch 2 blade pocket wi= th what looks like ether celluloid, bakealight maybe bone but i think a kin= d of plastic. the large blade is the only one marked. (timon germany)= . looks to be about 50 or 60s. i resived it and two imperials about the sam= e age. i'v all ways been a bottle collector or coins. when move= d i found all the knives i have and thought i should learn a little more ab= out them then just liking the way they feel and look. wish i could spend mo= re time with the group but you dont see many from Oregon so by the time i g= et on line its late back east. i do appreciate any help. hope it worm= ed up a little for you
You folks that are looking for "different" knife events to attend....all are welcome to attend my Trackrock Hammer-ins in Blairsville, GA. Not the typical Hammer-in event. I hold two a year, spring and fall, open and free to the public. I will be posting an announcement after the first of the year, but the date has been set for the last weekend in March 2014.
I did not realize you lived in Tampa untill the other day. I love the Tampa area, and Clearwater beach also. Busch gardens is great too. I have been to Tampa many times.
Thank you Jan! We just returned from the Tulsa show - wow! If you haven't been there yet, you should go in the Spring. Mostly guns- but with 4,200 tables, there are a LOT of knives too. Some very nice collections. Say Hi to Don...

Miss Jan, the surgery went well, with only one small complication. I should recover fast. Thanks for your concern.
