that thing looks like a clip blade with extra blade blade on top of it. sort of like a midmuskrat clip and then they did some more designing

Left to right up front: in the white T ,Jack(MrKnife), Tom, Bill Howard,Charlie and Sarah(Pertinux) against the window.In the background behind Jack L to R are : John(Augie),Rob Bixby(Apostle P),Joanne(Charlie's wife),James(Dr-Mabuse),Donna(Augie's wife), and Derrick Bohn.

Bill usually comes over Friday evening and relaxes and gets to talk away from the pressures he has at GEC..My buddy Tom is working his wares and got Charlies attention with a purchase before the evening was over.

Same characters that were up front in the last picture.

I preface these next as my attempts at panoramic photography.

L to R: Tom, Hatchet Jack,Joanne,Donna,John,Rob,James,Sarah,Charlie,and Bill Howard's head.

Bill and Charlie seated at the end of where we set up,with Sarah intent.

Another display of my "mad" panoramic photography skills, but it shows the real talents of two giants in the knife world. The same group as before,but the camera caught Derrick and Charlie exposed. I now understand why Derrick can move so many knives,and that he had to get a pilot's license and plane just to keep up with himself. A rare glimpse of Charlie that shows where all that intelligence comes from.

A close up of those in the background,Derrick hiding Donna.

Same as above with Bill and Charlie facing camera and Sarah's hand only

Lunch Thursday evening at the Cross Creek restaurant.L to R : Sarah,Joanne,Charlie ,Donna,and John.

Cory is that you ?,sorry,Dan Parke, Bill and Charlie.

Charlie and Sarah doing what they do...

Chris with the usual suspects lurking in the background.

I missed it this year due to car issues would have been nice to see everyone again and brush up Sarah's sharpening skills too.

[Shaggy]

Great pictures, everyone. Thanks for posting. I really need to get me over there one of these years!

 

[Augie]

Lyle, thanks for all the pictures, glad someone took some from the bar and Cross Creek, the panoramic ones came out OK. We would have liked to sit out on the deck at the bar, beautiful views but we got hammered each evening with thunderstorms and heavy rain.

The Erickson is a great addition to your collection, beautiful farmers jack.

They finished some #72s during the Rendezvous?

Yeah they sure did. The grizzly #72s came out on Friday. I didn't snag one until Saturday morning, but they had them in store on Friday. This is by far the best #72 I have had. It's got an extremely smooth open and it locks like a vault. Also the scariest edge I've had from the factory. The hair was jumping off my arm!

 

[wlfryjr]

Johnny twoshoes( Caleb) brought his brother and family, some beautiful ladies and a very articulate youngster.

Sorry I was busy and didn't get pictures,but I sure enjoyed seeing them again.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Thanks for posting the pictures! I'm planning on making the trip next year and camping nearby.

 

[Parke1]

One of the several wonderful knives that followed me home this year. As I've said elsewhere, the knives are great but the PEOPLE make the event. Ron, Pam, Augie, Evan, Charlie, Sarah, Lyle, John, Chris, etc etc, it was fantastic seeing you all again and catching up a bit. Can't wait for next year!!

 

[mrknife]

[RobbW]

Thanks for all the pics of folks at the gatherings! It's so great to see the ones I've met AND the ones I hope to meet at future gatherings.

Jack's talking about the Erickson rooster comb.

I've said it before and it's still just as true: that Rooster Comb has SWAGGER!!!

 

[wlfryjr]

Thanks Robb,I was hoping you were headed west again,maybe next year.

 

[supratentorial]

Thank you for the photos and videos. I wasn't able to travel so I'm going to enjoy watching the video and "meeting" some of the porch dwellers. It looks you guys had fun and picked up some nice knives. :thumbup:

 

[RobbW]

Thanks Robb,I was hoping you were headed west again,maybe next year.

Much appreciated, Lyle. I was hoping to get there this year and catch up with you (and maybe show you some of my Lick Creek beauties). I had something else come up, but I'm planning on next year. :thumbup:
