Thanks...I appreciate your appreciation. ;) I kinda hated to mail this one off, even though it was goin to a sweetie! :D We might hear some hootin and hollerin from down Texas way come Friday, at the latest I hope.

A lot of thanks for my ability to make knives goes to Tony. I spend many hours at the Wilfred Works and have practically been adopted by his wife, Karen. Heck, I get better treatment at the dinner table than Tony does. :D (that's an ongoing joke...it's not TOTALLY true). I try to absorb all the knowlege and old indian tricks that Tony tells/shows me and most of the time my spongey brain is full. I'll keep pluggin at it, I recon.

OUR TONY HAS TAUGHT YOU WELL, SWEETIE!:eek:
YOU ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE TONY AS YOUR MENTOR & FRIEND! TONY IS BLESSED TO HAVE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY, GEEK SKILLS & FRIENDSHIP AS WELL!
I KNOW HE IS PROUD OF YOU & YOUR KNIVES! WE ARE ALL PROUD OF YOU! ;)
My Prototype "BULL" arrived safe & sound today & is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS & THEN SOME! :D
Your pictures are GREAT, but "BULL" is WAY better in my hand!;)
When you create the next one, "BULL" #0, HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU TOP PERFECTION?:thumbup:
"Bull" is a DANDY for sure, but it is EXTRA SPECIAL because YOU CREATED it!
That's as GOOD as it gets, My Friend!;)
Time for another CE & CF SESSION...:D
 
Congrats Sheila. That Kerry guy is OK. :thumbup: Great knife from a special friend.

And congrats to you as well, Jason. Fine desk knife.
 
Congrats Sheila, Kerry did a really nice job on that one. I know you will put it to work.

So Shebop...cut any steak or spread any butter with "Bull" yet?
 
See if you can figure out what it is I am preparing for heat treat. Will you win anything? YES!, The admiration of your fellow knife knuts, of course. :D

I will give you a head start and say that #5 is a Wharn. Trapper. The clip blade is mysteriously un-heat treated due to a mishap during swedging(talk to Ken Coats...it happens :mad:) That's why your project is taking so long JIM! :D

Hint: 3 and 4 are new patterns for me.

Nice work, Kerry!!! I recognize one of those for sure. :D:cool::thumbup:
 
No Problem here my man, you da man, and I understand completely on mishaps.:D I have made several recently costing me LOTS of money and reputation.
I am in no rush as I know you are a perfectionist, that when it is ready, it will be right and ready.

KKFF Ask Sheila what this means if you don't already know.

BTW: I think #5 is a wharnie trapper with C & B to come. :p
