Hey, this is a Great thread. It has been going on for a Long time!! I had a stroke on August 17, followed by a serious heart blockage. Almost had to undergo heart bypass surgery. Thank God though, I didn't!! And I've been on medical leave from work but heading back to the grind on Nov. 2, 2015!!! Praise The Lord For That!!
But anyway, No,vdon't close this long on-going thread down just because some idiot dumbass wanna come here and flap his gums about Absolutely Nothing!! Ha Ha!! Keep this page Alive And Kickin'!! Besides, I bought me quite a few new knives and also having two more made as we speak. I wanna be able to jump on here and tell about them.
And not sure what is going on, but if someone is coming here and bashing on hollow handle knives again, saying how worthless they are, then I am sure...Naw...I know for a freaking Fact...that These people that are doing the bashing, have Never owned a Real True Blue Handmade Hollow Handle Knife. So before ya bash, go on out there and spend the bucks...buy a high end handmade Andrew Clifford, Newt Martin, Ray Matton, or Gil Hibben (and many more) hollow handle knife. Take it out then, on a Rough It Survival Style camping/hiking trip!! And Then come on back in here and honestly and truthfully bash hollow handle knives!!! I just Know ya won't be able to...At least not and be truthful about it!! Ha Ha!!
Folks, Ill be coming back more and more. But I want to sat this really quick:
Sometimes when ya see something that just catches yer eyes, and ya find yerself going back and forth to it, and that little inner birdie keeps saying, "Buy it, Big Surprise! Buy it, Big Surprise!!" Then ya had Better buy it. Cause about 8 months ago I had same thing happen to me. So I bought this handmade Damascus Steel knife and I just shelved it athat nd left it untouched!! Something about it just stood out!!
Well sirs, I just learned today that something very special about that knife. The knife maker that made it, made it with heating up a jagged block of iron that his son had found in the desert about 8 years ago near their home. Not thinking about it, the guy was low on his steel and grabbed that slab to heat up and forge with the other steel in order to make the Damascus steel blade knife that I bought and now have.
Today, I suddenly get all kinds of emails and offers from the guy wanting to buy or trade for the knife back. I have done turned down 4 offers from the guy, Including one offer involves a brand new AR-15 rifle as part of trade!! LOL
Turns out that the slab of iron or steel ore that the guy used to make the Damascus Steel knife, was the thing his son found years ago in the desert. It turns out that the Damascus steel blade knife that I own, which the guy has been trying All freaking day to get back, is a Damascus Steel blade knife that was made with part of a Meteorite that had broken off of a meteor from space and landed in the desert close to their home!! LOL. Can ya Believe it? Something told me to get that knife. And that same ill birdie...I will call God, just for arguing sakes, t old me to shelve the knife and leave it Untouched!! For Once in my life, I listened!! LOL.
Now I know that I should be this Good Samaritan Nice Guy that I have always tried to be, and let the guy buy this knife back, or trade for it, like I normally would do. But sooner or later after you get crapped on and taken advantage of so many different times, even us Very Nice Guys draw the line at some point when we have had Enough. And so, I am gonna just Keep this rare knife gem of a find that this guy and his son want back so very badly!! After all, it's Freaking Mine, right??!! LOL!!! THE END!!
