    Jigged bone dye?

    John, bone is hard to dye from my experience. It is very dense and will only take so much color. The old timers on the reenactors forum all talk about using Rit dye like you dye clothes with! Putting it a pot of hot water with the rit dye! The fellow from the Turntex/Cactus juice...

    Was W.D. "Bo" Randall a war veteran or knife fighter?

    Its Cliff but as long as you don't call me late for supper it ain't important!! You know I understand asking about procedure. Sometimes it may be difficult to grasp or, perhaps you just want to check before you make a mistake! But come on that list I gave him is a list of the makers that went...

    Handle types pros cons?

    The knife and the use of the knife should dictate the handle, size, shape, and material! One thing I have consistently heard mentioned by the judges on FIF was the handle, was too slick, too short, or too large and occasionally too small, too round! The one thing you have to remember with FIF...

    How do I send pics in private message?

    All the free ones are going away! However I do think Photobucket has realized they made a huge mistake. Been thinking of taking them up on the $4.00 trial month so I can un-hostage my own damn photos!! Problem there is this now they are putting a watermark on the photos. So now when I post a...

    Was W.D. "Bo" Randall a war veteran or knife fighter?

    Michael, your original question has been edited to the two word version. Not sure what the problem is but, I have bent over backwards to try and make amends for a possibly hasty answer! I always try to lend a hand to anyone asking a question as I remember getting slammed for some of my...

    Was W.D. "Bo" Randall a war veteran or knife fighter?

    Michael nothing wrong with asking, so if I appeared to give you a shot with a claymore, sorry! You have edited your original question so I can't respond directly to the question. Your paraphrasing of the question just kind of rubbed me wrong!! You seemed to be asking if Bo Randall was a...

    A hunter and an ulu

    The knife is absolutely unreal in the quality and detail!! The ulu with its shape is unique. I don't ever recall seeing a ulu with the one side, I like it!!! I must admit I never realized musk ox looked like that under the bark! Mark I have been following your work for a long time! I was a...

    WIP Bowie knife

    Dennis you had the vision on this one! I know from my experience as a contractor. Some times no matter how you explain what you are about to do, most folks can't see the finished product in your head. I was unsure about this one. However as an ole buddy use to say, "you done good on this one"!

    Prayers for my wife as she battles cancer

    Steve, its not that fact that we are now going to have to do the needle biopsy. He never exposed the fact he couldn't get there by scope, when I spoke to him after the procedure! He said, "everything went well and he got some tissue samples of some other areas"!! Leaving me and the wife to...

    Prayers for my wife as she battles cancer

    Sean, the thing that made me the maddest about this whole thing was this. Be a damn man and tell my you were not able to get to the nodule that you went after! I can accept that but, when you don't make any mention of that it kind of insinuates that you got that one and some other things you...
