HA HA HA ! You realy had me going for a few minutes, looking for the bend, then I SAW IT! Man oh man it's bent bad! It's going to be hard to straighten out without a NAIL NICK! HA HA HA!
 
Haha Bill, good one. Youve sure figured out how to get peoples attention.
Yep, thats bent, you best send it to me;)
 
Yeah I think someone else needs to inspect it in person. Send it on over. -Burton
 
Sorry Guys but the new owner seemed to think that he could live with that way. dang he didn't even charge me anyhting for takin it off my hands. I really lucked out there all i had to do was pay shipping.
 
Oh Well. Sorry you missed me.
I coulda helped too.
Sure had me going Bill, shoulda known better. Dozier
 
Ya know, lately I have been seeing a lot of these knives that break in half during the quench. I wonder if we have gotten a bad batch of quench oil or maybe a faulty run of thermocouples in the HT ovens.:D

I like it Bill. Does Ed Fowler make any folding knives? Cant recall ever seeing one.

Bruce to the best of my knowledge Ed has made only one folder and it is in his kitchen unfinished. Mike and Audra Make a folder that loosely resembles a pronghorn, other than them I don't recall any other makers doing this style in a folder.
