Hello people, it's been a while. I'm here again, for good! Theres so much to tell all of you that I i just don't have the capacity in my fingers to type it all. I'll be brief. I've been making sparringly for a while just enough to keep me afloat, some of you have seen me at a couple of shows with some new tactical patterns. I've been doing a lot of designing and prototypes. Took buisness courses at the Community Action center, next county over. That enabled Maria(my lovely wife to be)and myself to apply for a micro loan through them to get more equipment and the like to go into buisness on a grander scale with some of the new tactical patterns I've designed. Just wait everybody, I'm gonna be famous some day! Not notorious! With Maria handling the buisness end and me making knives it's gonna be fantastic!! As soon as I upgrade my membership more info and pics will followwww oops gotta gooo, shes gettin friscky.....
 
Also theres a couple of people I owe $ to during my bad times I went through that I hope to make amends to shortly, Hope they understand.
 
Welcome back Patrick! Hurry up with those pics. I still remember you and your fine knives from the Janesville, WI show. Hope to see you there again this year.
 
Welcome back Patrick!
Glad things have turned around for you.

Regards,
Gus
 
Patrick,
It was good seeing you again at the Blade show. Glad things are still heading upward.
 
I was thinking of going to the sprit of steel show in Texas, but Maria thinks it would be better for us to go to Chicago, financially. Plus we or I have been there before and had good sales. So look for us there with some new stuff. Kit, wish we could'a had more time to chat, got to catch up with Mike O. and that felt real good, man he's doing some real nice work.
 
Should be getting up a web site real soon. Those folks at the CAC(community action) are the best. They help with marketing, finance, managing web site etc. all for absolutly free. The micro loan is of low intrest. They want you to build a buisness and be sucessful. That makes them look good, thus more grant money for them, they keep their jobs and everybody is happy. The programs are out there, hard to find, but there. Just some pataience(i have it,just don'tknow how to spell it)and of course cut some of that Gov. red tape. The SBA I found to be useless. To much bureaucracy there.
 
Patrick, glad to see you back in the saddle.

I thought you had to be making again because of the couple of new models I've seen at Bladeart and on eBay.

Hopefully I'll get to see some of your work in person this year at the Koval show.

Best of luck :)
