OLD news paper artical

[Mike Craddock]

Good morning guys:
While putting away some of the Christmas decrations I ran across this old news paper artical from 1974.
Just thought I would share. although i started making knives years ago I didn't make any knives for several years. Now that i'm doing it again it's more FUN.

Hey Mike very cool, thanks for sharing!

OK, now we know how much experience you have I think we'd all like to see that post count go up , as in, " share the wealth brother " (of information)

I'll bet it was a real kick coming across that article. I think that's cool enough to frame, especially now that you're back at it. Are those some of the knives you made sticking in the stump Mike ? They look like some real beauties :thumbup:

David: you are right it was a kick to find it, and this time it will get framed.Yes the knives sticking in the stump are some that i was making at the time.
As for shareing the info. i'll do what i can, i find the information on this forum to be wonderful and i myself am still learning.
here is a picture of one of my very first knives, made only with a file,sandpaper,and a 1/4" drill. i will keep this one forever.
