Some of you may remember the thread about this knife, (it had a bad weld at the tip so I had to shorten it a little) well, it seems to have been cursed.
I was selling at the big medieval society convention in Pennsylvania, and someone stole it off my table when I wasn't looking.

What kind of soulless wank steals from a craftsman! I hope they stuffed it hard into a pocket and lacerated themself!!!!:mad:

Not that anyone is likely to see it, but this is the one

A worthless POS,with no honor-Sorry to hear this-Regards Butch
 
Back in '89 and '90, I worked for a knife-maker friend as "security" (and backup 'smith) at a Renfest. My job was mostly to be there and watch to make sure none of the knives walked off. IIRC, we averaged about one attempt a day. One nut even tried to walk off with a bastard sword.

In that context--big shows full of general public visitors--you've about got to have eyes on each piece.

I was at the NW blacksmith spring meet and left 5 knives out on display on an art table all day and never worried. But, when the general public is around you have to because there will be scum bags in the crowd. Sorry for your pain. I know its more than the worth of the knife. Its the violation than eats you.

Dang bro, its been hard enough for you without having to deal with this bull. Sorry that this happened to you.
 
Dang Page, sorry to hear that..

it's geting so you'll have to put security strips in them in public places now adays.. :(

to bad someone didn't see it happen and just happen to drive a foot up his A$$
that would have been just about worth a knife for me to see or even take part in ..
we could only wish :)
 
How can some one use this or take it out and enjoy owning it.

I just do not understand, nor do I have any sympathy towards anyone who could steal.

I am sorry it happened to you as well as pissed off that someone could do it.
 
Page,
The way I see it ,the guy went to a lot of trouble to take it. Chances are he liked it or he wouldn't have taken the risk. If he liked it that much, chances are that others will also appreciate your work. So, the conclusion is: 1) Make 10 more like it and 2) Keep a closer eye on this bunch. There, all better.

PS- Be sure to use my steel.
 
damn that sucks! I know when I was at the Blade show in atlanta, I had a hard time talking AND eyeballing my table. One way someone told me to keep an easier eye on things is to put colored dots under the knife. See a dot.....a knife is in hand or gone. Sell knife, remove dot from table......
 
Sorry to hear about the knife being stolen. We have used the orange dots several years and they work great. I am convinced that they have saved us knives from the reaction a couple of guys had when they picked the knives up. It helps sometimes if a neighbor at a show watches out for you if you get swamped with customers too.

It is hard to lose one, but every knife out there with your name on it is an advertisement of your work and good will come of it.
 
Sorry to hear this. Please give us all the info regarding the issue. There are a lot of folks from Pa. here and we'll certainly keep an eye out for it.
