Look what the mail man brought
« on: August 22, 2007, 10:00:51 am »
When I checked my mailbox 2 days ago on the way home there was a box inside with my name on it. ;D Inside was this knife from Cowboy  8)and a note.  A few months back I had made a trade and received a Nicholson #49. I already had one and cowboy was in need of one so I sent it on to him. I had forgotten all about it until the knife showed up. Cowboy said the blade is some of Justin's obsidian and referenced todays primitive trade routes. ;D I'll take this one to deer camp in 2 weeks and hopefully will be able to christen it.  ;)    Pat

That is a nice knife.  I don't recall any of that obsidian looking nearly so good when it left.  In fact the stuff that stayed don't look that good either. Good job Cowboy, and good trade Pat.  Justin

Hey Pat, each of us got a "Cowboy" knife. I tried mine on a tree rodent (squirrel) today, and it works fine. Ain't we lucky.   ;D

maybe you should stain it with the blood of your enemy. The Great heathens in finland did so, and only after that it had some true value. of course the blood was washed off the blade but it gave mystical powers to it.  ::)

Glad ya'll like em Pat and Dick!! If you get attacked by somethin in the woods - get a good cut in then stab em in the eye with the tine ;D, ha, ha.

 Hey Justin: I tried a second chunk of your stuff and overkilled - used to hittin this Pederanales stuff, may have to put in another order soon :). We have a job starting up in WA state, if I drive up I'll give you a holler - maybe we can go rock collectin?

Very nice, my jealosy is only kept in check by my being happy for you, and I like the trade route connection. I've, unfortunatly, been forced to deal with a problem with some very selfish people lately. And you would never hear of such things going on amongst them. That said, I'd really love to see some pics with some blood on it (not yours).
