I won a knife at BladeShow!

[ShadedDude]

Yep, My name was drawn and I won a Rade Hawkins Pro-Series Hunter.

Its 440C with white Corian handles and an Elephant hide sheath.

So far I have diced up two chickens and de-barked one tree.

Man, what a difference in a year huh?

By the way, if you havent made it to Blade Show yet, your missing out! Its GREAT! I got to talk for awhile with Ethan Becker, thanks to Will Fennel, also got to see a Boa proto from Ken Onion (Thanks Dexter

) Met Dusty and Carla Moulton, and Tom and the extremely swift product tester Mrs. Anderson. Plus got to catch up with old friends from last year.
Oddly enough, I did not get to meet Mrs. Rob Simonich. I think he was hiding her!

By the way, did anyone else see Spark in the black leotard?

Congratulations. I've never met Rade, although I wnat to. I first talked to Rade about 8 years ago to order supplies from him, an 8 in. wheel and many hundred of dollars of belts. I just mentioned that Ted Frizzel recommended him and he sent the stuff and a bill and I paid him after I received it. I haven't been physically able to make anything for the last four years, but I intend to start again soon.
I hope he remembers me and still sells supplies. He is a good guy to do business with, vety honarable. Thanks Rade.
