Okay Mr. Bill ---- this raffle sounds truly worthwhile ! Throw my name in the pot for an engraving job on this knife after it has been won.

What is TKN and USN ?? These are boards that I haven't heard of.

For those that are interested (and who wouldn't be) please check out Ray's page on this board. Ray has designed a new shape with a new/but old steel. This is a work in progress & you'll find it very interesting.

Using nitric acid as a stain was re-discovered by Wallace Gustler (former Williamsburg master gunmaker). He showed me how to use it decades ago.

Glad to see you back at work Ryan ---- be careful this time. So glad to see that folder is coming along, I'm really excited to see what you come up with. Please remember NOT to send the spring off for heat treating until after I inlay gold into it. Thanks for the pic's and please keep us posted.

Welcome tinekeeper, I think you'll get alot out of this site if you ask. Ken

Yeah , what tthe other tarheels said. What town do you live in ? Welcome aboard.

Rusty --- congrats on a fine looking folder. It kind of reminds me of a knife going to a black tie affair ---- you know, black tux with white shirt. Classie looking rig --- something like a dress knife.

Looking forward to getting together with y'all at Travis's shop. Hope the weather is good as it usually is that time of year. ken

Thanks Mr. Tracy but the location is wrong. After leaving Colt custom shop as a master engraver, I sat an engraving business up in the Lynchburg, Va. area. After 10 years +/- I shut down. During this time, I trained & hired approx. 40 engravers. I also sat up and briefly ran the engraving...

Very clean lines, I like them. Looks to be a great hunting knife/skinner.

It's all my pleasure Mr. Bill. Now I won't feel like I'm not contributing towards the success of this site.
