IG it is a fact that the folks that know you and knew your sweetheart are with you on this! The writer is a P.C. hack. He would not have the rocks to walk into your shop and spout such dribble.if you did not bitch slap him, one of your buds would.
We have not yet met, but I admire what y'all did!!
I would like a Dvd and wish you would post some more pictures of your tribute to Helen

That guy has nothing better to do than point fingers. Forget him. You did what you felt was right and nothing else should matter.
 
I wouldn't sweat it. Half the crap we do as knifemakers seems crazy, right?

You didnt do it for other people, you did it for you. Anyone else who has an opinion can screw if they don't like it!
 
Anyone that knew Helen would know how much she would truly appreciate your heart-felt tribute to her. You know it and she knows it...that's all that matters.

That jackass should have had a little more sense than to have made comments on what is appropriate or just in someone elses relationship. Simply put, if he's not smart enough to know his place, then he's not qualified to voice an opinion.
 
wow.. lucky you dont have to try and explain. not sure what I would do if my wife passed but whatever it would be out of love.. they really dont understand

I guess a colaboration with Case is out of the question??
 
George: You did right. Wolf did right too. How you remember and maintain your loved ones is up to you and you alone. Personally, I cannot imagine a more honorable way of being preserved and remembered (being embalmed and stuffed in the ground is way too creepy for me.)

I have read and seen some strange things done to human remains. I've seen ashes turned to crystals to be used in pendants and ashes spread along wilderness trails. I've seen ashes on the mantle and finger bones in displays. I heard some guy had his ashes loaded into shotgun shells and his friends fired him over his favorite trap range.

Hell, even the Catholic church dug up poor Padre Pio to take him on tour to "rejuvenate the faithful."

Unfortunately "journalism" these days is not fair and unbiased. It is mostly editorialized bullcrap with the sole purpose boost circulation. Blogs are even worse, especially when hosted by a mainstream magazine, for giving credence to one's opinions.
 
Don't let it bother you IG. What you guys did, IMHO, was nothing short of amazing !! :thumbup: :thumbup: You don't have to explain yourself to anyone in this case. All that matters is the love you and Helen share for each other.

I'm very proud to call you my friend ;)

Same here Bro.:thumbup::D
 
IG,

Having been where you are, we both know that when it's all said and done, all we have are memories. You chose to memorialize Helen in a very touching way, so a bit of her is always with you. That's a really cool thing.

Blade looks like they are headed for a downhill ride, especially when the idiot says don't judge, but I will.

You did good.

Thanks Gene.:thumbup:
 
George, I lost my first wife and I understand how you feel. What gives you comfort and feels right for you is all that matters. This is your way of keeping her close to you. May God bless you and lead you in your time of loss.

I know we don't know eachother and I have just as little right to talk about this subject as that writer did but, you were couragious enough to post this so I'll just say that you did the right thing and no one else has the right to say any different. I'm sorry for your loss... although her beauty will shine through the knife you created and smile at you every day. He really didn't understand.

WOW this guy is crazy. I have not thought of this but it is a very good idea. This guy really does not understand but don't take it personal
 
Hi Folks,

Relatively, new to the knife making community, but learning a lot, thanks to everyone. Normally I wouldn't probably even had enough time to respond to this post, but I'm laid off and spending more time cultivating my future....knife making.

I was drawn to this activity/lifestyle because I wanted to be part of something bigger than purely hedonistic en devours. Indian George has reaffirmed that inclination by memorializing his dearly departed wife in his/our cultural heritage.

This may sound a little deep to some folks, but think about it for a bit. We are a group/culture made up of many unique individuals. And the very definition of what a knife maker, purveyor, collector, enthusiast is or is supposed to embody is evolving.....culturally. All societies throughout the country, world, and time are constantly evolving in their cultural practices and traditions. Why should this community be any different?

Indian George, I have seen your posts, visited your site, and followed your advise. You are part of a community/culture that is evolving and growing and I am proud to have become a part of. Sure its fun to forge a knife and put your individual creativity into it, but it is done not just purely as a hedonistic activity.....rather a way of life?

Your tribute to your wife, through EDC + Sharing Video, is proof that you are not just forging for your own selfish purpose, you are forging toward the future of our ever evolving culture.

I think I made the right choice when I chose to become part of such a wonderful community.

Sincerely,

Bob
