Hi all

my name is TOM, my handle is IRONBLADE62. i love to rebuild bowies or any other knife i find or buy cheap that has no handle. this has been my hobby since i have been in a wheelchair for about 7 years. i have no cartilage in my knees. they won't put new knees in because i have on going cellulitis in both legs. so i got wheels to keep rolling on !! i am one who will pick a combat knife over a gun. i am well trained in hand to hand combat, even in my 4 wheeler. my favorite is a U.S.A made MK-047 combat knife i always have it with me. GOD bless all have a grate day

Hi Tom
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Sounds like you know how to make the best of things!
Good luck to you Sir, I was in the same boat as you few years ago, (car accident), but with a lot of grim determination and divine intervention manged to get going again!

Take care

Paul
 
Hi Tom,
I think alot of us take for granted how cool it is that somebody like yourself can get dealt a tough hand and come out swingin'
Thanks for your story!
Regards,
Steve
