I got my zipper back in 2001, Stephen, after they tried inserting a couple of stents to help. They kept 'blocking' so my doc suggested the 'bypass'. Told me I have one blocked artery and it's near the front of my chest... should just be a small 1 1/2" - 2" incision. I woke up from the...

When I got 'hooked' up to the internet back in 2002, Mike, my 1st order of business was to find a knifemaker to make a bowie that was 'clogging' up my mind. Custom bowies were my 1st collecting interest until I got sidetracked with those Buck's then miniatures then autos then etc., etc., etc...

I got into knife collecting by searching for a knifemaker that would build me my idea of a bowie knife. It all started with a 2" wide blade by Ken Largin in M-2 steel... The next one was very similar by Rob Davidson... Then I asked Bruce Evans if this one would be feasible to...

Bringing in the reinforcements...

Today is the day, IG! More prayers sent your way and don't forget... the opening of the hospital gown goes in the rear. :1:

Starting in 1999 I had 2 stents, angioplasty and finally in 2001, a double bypass. If a rookie like me got through it, a tough ol' knife guy like IG should come through with flying colors. Sending IG all the best.

A thumbstud lets me open my 110 one-handed but I still have to use two hands to close it. No problem as far as I'm concerned. I've always felt a lockback was a 'stronger' lock than a linerlock but I've never had either type of lock fail. I have to agree though that the one-handed 'open' &...

Well shakie, looks like you'd better start making some more like that... his buddies over there are going to be very jealous and want one!

Dang! I was ready to call her up but those candlelight dinners aren't for me. I'd be afraid of burning down the house!

A year already? Congratulations!

They caught my eye on Bruce's website when we were talking about making the top knife in the pics. I had to have one! Then I wanted more! :lol: Bruce even supplied them with pocket sheaths...

Happens to me all the time! :1: Perhaps it straightened itself out after you made the mobile change & then you rebooted your computer?? :les: Some very handsome knives there, Bruce! Wish I could get out to Denver but alas... I'm stuck out here in Connecticut. Have a great time!

The best I could ever find out was... 'They are forged from tough alloy steel, heat treated, oil quenched and tempered for a uniform hardness and maximum strength.' I've also seen the word vanadium used in descriptions of Sears Craftsman wrenches.

This is just a guess, Bruce. I don't use a mobile phone and only upload pics from my camera loaded computer files. It might be worth a try... Go to your Photobucket 'Home' page, 'Click' on Account Settings over on the right hand side, Scroll down & check out Mobile Settings. Like I...

Best wishes Mike... I'm rootin' for you youngin'! You're young & strong... take it slow, day by day and good healing. Today I finish up 16 treatments of chemotherapy.

Now that is some great news!

I still have the knives that Bruce made for me several years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed the talks we had on the phone back then (and he could talk!):happy:. I can no longer hear conversation on the phone so please say hello to Bruce for me should you speak to him again.

I haven't seen nor heard a mosquito all this summer! Come to think of it... I haven't seen nor heard any honeybees either! But those dang cicadas are driving me nutz!

Prayers going upstairs to the man.... big time, Jim!

Yep... I have to echo everyone else's sentiments, Steve! It's a beauty!
