First off I want to thank Frogfish for hosting one hell of a get together! You da Hog bro! It was good to put faces with BF handles, those who attended were: Frogfish, Ban, gimmejr, roppda, tewca, Tony G, wash, yallknowho, and of course little ole me. Sorry some of the guys couldn’t make it…hope to see you at the next one.

Well to say that there were a lot of knives is putting it mildly. I really haven’t ever seen so many knives outside a knife shop. Hell some knife shops around here don’t have the amount of steel we all had going on. The amazing thing is that most everyone brought only what they could carry! To think that this wasn’t everything is a little frightening. So much INFI and knives from other makers it was impossible for me to get pictures of all of them, and I tried but I was rather busy looking at all the sharp things to get pictures of everything. Maybe next time.

The day started at 3pm sharp and when I left at 8pm, Ban, roppda, gimmejr, tedwca, and of course Frogfish were still going at it. Conversation was all over the map but it was mostly about everyone’s favorite topic…Knives! Amazing how much you can learn about people and their passions in a short few hours. Great people, great knives, and great conversation…oh and the food was good too! Thanks again for getting this started gimmejr and everyone who joined in…it was a real blast!!!

First off…you guys would be in pure heaven in Frogfish’s garage! I know I was…this man is got the knife collector's dream going on in there! Ban and I were going nuts with all the toys he has. Once I could talk, I must have had a dozen question for Frogfish, some of which continued off and on throughout the night. The man knows his stuff, this ain’t just a hobby for him. Nope…watch out for another Master knife maker! Sweet! Right down the road from me!!!

AKs in the house!!! The pictures of the Leatherman sheath doesn’t even come close to doing it justice…this sheath is screaming nice!!! Dwayne did a hell of a job on it! Mr. Puckett is a leather god of sheaths! Beautiful carving work and the inlay is incredible…it almost didn’t go home with his owner!!! The one on the bottom is one of the few aluminum handle AKs I’ve seen. It feels even better than it looks!
