Hi, not sure if anyone remembers me, I used to mess around with knifemaking a couple years ago while in school. I ended up joining the Army about 7 months ago, back on leave, but leaving on the 31st. I found a bunch of goodies that I think some of you may be interested. Some of it is pretty nice stuff. If you think you could use it, just pay shipping through PayPal, and I'll get it out today or tommorrow to you in the mail.

I have (some sizes approximate):

5" x 8" x 3/8" - Grey G-10
Couple pieces of wood that I don't remember what it is.
4" x 8" cut of water buffalo horn, might be serviceable, has some cracks in some areas though.
A couple blocks of black micarta I think it is.
6" x 6" x 3/8" piece of tiger maple
Stainless and brass tubing and pins
And something thats really cool.... I have 5 sets of reindeer antlers that I got from Belgium cut into slabs. I also have 4 sets that are in a solid piece that you can use for stick tangs and stuff like that. There probably other cool stuff too. Pretty much everything I find goes.

All the above stuff is shipped as a package, can't really take the time to split it up. <-- Stuff already spoken for! Dust collector still up for grabs.

I also have a Jet dust collector, 1HP, two bag system. It's pretty dirty, and the hose accidentally hit a quench bucket and sucked some vegetable oil up, but if you want to clean it out, have a blast, it's yours. I'm in Champaign. Keep in mind that I'll only be around till the 31st, so you'll have to pick it up on the 30th.

Call me if interested, 217.390.3245. Happy New Years.

Hey Mike, I sure did, I ended up going in the medical field, I just finished my 91W Health Care Specialist/Combat Medic school. Hope all is well with you Mike, and again, thanks for everything you taught me and helped me with. My new e-mail is eric.s.chang@us.army.mil.
 
How can anyone forget the Chang-Benza, I mean you don't find too many cardboard knives made to that level of skill. ;)

All kidding aside, Chang I hope you get a lot out of your time in the Army.
We haven't fogotten you, I hope you don't foget about us here.

Mikey I'm glad to see you still posting after closing up shop.
 
Let me know if you ever find yourself at Fort Benning, GA. A great bunch of makers around here, they will get you back into it for sure! Good luck.
