My apologies to all. I took offense at what I thought were unfair remarks and reacted in a petty manner. Two members were good enough to point out to me what I had done.
As an apology to the whole membership I am going to run a drawing for two knives.

1. The first prize is a Tom Mayo TNT in Talonite. This is truly a beautiful knife. Those of you who know his work know that his work just keeps getting better. I am not sure how to explain it but his style and execution gets both more practical and more beautiful. To tell you how good this knife really is, I bought it about six months ago for a contest. It is so beautiful that I hated to part with it so I just kept it.

2. The second prize is a Talonite knife from One Stop Knife shop. onestopknifeshop.com It is the Rob Simonich Talonite knife (Cam-Tal1 In Talonite from Camillus and designed by Rob Simonich with the retail price of $246.99)

I'm in on this contest for sure! I'm not sure what happened to cause this, but thanks for the contest.
 
I'll put my name in the hat, too.

"... and reacted in a petty manner. Two members were good enough to point out to me what I had done."

Don't be too hard on yourself. I have a wife who fulfills (frequently) the same role on my behalf..

Thanks for the contest,

How the deck do they get talons from birds of prey, and how the heck does a guy forge a sack of talons into a billet to get talonite????

Having never seen/smelled/touched/tasted/heard talonite in person, I sure hope I win this one!
 
Hey, that Simonich guy can't win his own knife, can he? :D


This is a very classy thing to do, by the way. :)
 
Sure, count me in. My e-mail address is available on the button/link, below.

Post anything I like? O.K., here's a quotable quote for everyone (certainly including myself here) who's ever said something, online or elsewhere, that they kind of wished they hadn't:
