Well its about time! I have been nagging Bill for months to get his own forum and its finally here! He decided to let me tag along so I would get off his back ;) I think Bill and I agree that this forum is obviously to share our knives, but we want it to be a meeting place for conversation and BS too. Feel free to post whatever is on your mind and welcome. We will get pics of our knives posted soon(Bills will take aloooooooooot longer) so bear with us while we get everything worked out.
 
Congratulations on the new subforum! Both of you do great work and it is great to know I can come here to check it out. :D
 
Chris & Bill,
Way to go, CONGRATS on the forum. Hope you guys dont mind me hangin out around here :eek: ;). 1 of these days when i figure out how to post pics i will do so, but until then i will just Shoot the Bull with Ya'all.
Congrats again :thumbup::thumbup:.
 
Awesome! I guess we can consider this a collective feather in both of your hats!! Congrats!!!
 
Man, Gnarly must be in jail, he has not been on here yet this week-end . . . . :D
Congratulations on your new home, you both deserve this for all that you do for the forum and for the excellent products both of you put out. BA, the custom you did for me is no longer a virgin. Went out today to the barn & it helped with some feed sacks & leather lead straps. By God, it took both hands to force that knife down into them because that blade and handle were so pretty, but I did . . . . :)
And the thing cut like a razor like you said it would, just broke my heart getting those scuff marks on the side of it.
Gentlemen, enjoy your new home. Thank you both for allowing us to come and visit and to provide a safe place to keep us off the streets . . . . . . :thumbup:
Be safe.
 
right on Chris.. nice to see you guys got your own forum now..:thumbup: congrats.. keep up the good work bro..:)

Great! I got a Backwoods about a week ago and it's already got one of my buddies ready to get with Bill to order up a custom. It's a beaut, and yeah it's a little hard to actually want to put to use. Soo nice.
 
J1M, I was thinking the same thing! Gnarly must be in jail!
 
:mad:


So,just as soon as I was able to get somebody to post bail,I hitchhiked home to find a message from my friend:sveqs that ya'll were up 'n running over here....

Actually,I'm at KY Lake @ the camper.

Got off work an hour early on Thursday,went home,grabbed up my clothes & my FMTH bag + the youngest GrandSon,age:3 + the Pug,we all jumped into "GwandDad's Race Truck With The Mad Monkey On The Back Window" and headed for the Lake.

His pretty NaNa said she wasn't ready,she'd be down Friday morning.

We have had whatcha might call a Large Time!

Our wireless internet only works here,if you walk up by the flagpole,but I got fed with that and ordered a new Alfa wireless antenna....best $35 I've ever spent on a computer add-on...now I have a solid 4 bars of signal,inside the camper or out!

And the GrandSon went home with his folks yesterday,so it's been clothing-optional and some full-frontal-nudity,ever since then.

Plus,I've showed off my new BA Surprise! knife & my new KFU EDC knife to every manjack within a four-mile radius.Some of em:twice.

And none of that vegan food either;we're talking red meat seared over lump charcoal & applewood from the old orchard....taters....cowboy beans...sourdough bread.Pinto beans & cornbread.Banana pudding.Bacon.Fried taters.Omelets in the old cast iron skillet,with cheese overkill.

Cholesterol & triglycerides?

Sheeeehut! I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol & triglycerides.

Guess what we used for steak knives? (I let her use the shiny one.)

Reminds me: need to wipe 'em both down again with mineral oil.



;)

But just woke up,in a real gnarly mood.

I was sleeping well,but was awakened by a frequently-recurring nightmare....ya'll have prob'ly had the same dream....

.....where you wake up in a cold sweat,white-knuckling the steering wheel & driving like a bat outta Hell,flying down the highway @ 150mph +, tach needle hovering up near the rev limiter,right thumb ready on the 150-extra-horses-nitrous-button, lotsa rotating blue lights in the back window....knowing you can outrun the KSP cruiser... a friggin' ol' Mopar...but ya can't outrun his two-way radio.

And when you see the roadblock up ahead,and you're forced to give up,and start shutdown procedure....grateful for oversize cross-drilled rotors & calipers,but still gritting your teeth....

Next, the stern voice of the KSP Trooper @ your window,saying: "If you can give me ONE good reason why you were driving so daym fast,I'll let you go home!"

And all you can tell him is: "My ex-wife ran off with a KY State Trooper; I thought you were bringing her back....."

And don't bother telling me ya'll don't have that same nightmare....every now & then.


Too early for coffee; think I'll have me a cold Warsteiners and try to get some more sleep.

Congradulations!! Good job!! This will certainly be among my favorites to visit and see what you guys are up to!
 
Congrats on the new forum guys! I have a couple of Chris's knives, now if only Mr. Akers will stop making those knives that are too pretty to use... ;)

Serionsly though, I'm on a hunt for a simple Bushy style of knife from you Bill, that beauty of an EDC you have up right now is mighty tempting though!
 
Tony, we gotta keep nagging him to make the dirtys! I wanna see a Bill Akers dirty Bushcrafter!
 
Damn Gnarly, how long did it take to type that?????LMAO! We need to get together sometime, how far are you from Knoxville?
