Dana, I have some made up that I could send out if you don't have time. Let me know.

John

That would be great John, I'm more than willing but am short on time right now :(
All I can say is what a great bunch of guys we have here, with one notable exception ;)

Mr Madcrow-

Things are pretty decent up here in the Big Sky State.  I have been hella busy (mostl seems like I am running in place though).  Kids jump from sport season to sport season and their dad must follow. I am trying to get a bow done for a nephew and another for a friend but just struggle to find time which is why I did not join the KITH or Christmas trade this year...if I cannot live up to my end then I just wont make the comittment, even though sometimes that is what spurs on action. Going hunting tomorrow (rifle season) to hopefully get some meat for my sister and her family. I don't really need it and they definitely do right now, times are hard for them.  Hopefully I get one down so that I can spend this weekend hunting some rabbits with my son who is learning to handle a bow pretty well...how is your BIG boy doing.  We should take this offline so go ahead and shoot me a PM buddy.

I should be able to mail one out in a couple of days. I have to make a sheath for it and don't want it to look like I hurried.

i didn't just get busy:  my life went all to hell!  And it's not just that i lost my shop:  i barely have a pot to piss in.

Some guys are being real jerks about this, and so I gotta say I appreciate you reminding them to think about the good stuff that came out of this.  DanaM and Sailordad, I really like the knives you sent me.  They are very cool and well made.  I know you enjoyed making them and you enjoyed giving them away.  The reason I was rude to madcrow is that he was rude to me in a PM. 

You guys take care, and keep up the good work.

Sorry to here that your life went to hell but you still have an obligation to make good on your word.
A easy out was suggested to you, send the knives you received on to whe guys you drew, simple enough.
Hopefully things will get better for you.

i personally wont hold a grudge beacuse i have been in that sitsuation and its not fun or pretty.

radius i hope you enjoy the knife it was made for you so please keep it and i hope you dont feel bad cause sometimes things happen that you cant control.

if you want i can send the other knife that i made,just like the one i made for you, to one of the uys you drew. it will just take me a couple of days to make a sheath.

pm me and let me know.
i really hope things turn around for ya man. cause i know how that sucks,been ther done that more than once.

i know most here wont agree with me but hey cut the gut a little slack,because like a said sometimes things happen that you cant control and they can affect every aspect of our daily lives.

                                                                   peace,

The appropriate action would be to bow out gracefully by passing on the knives that were gifted to him to the people that he promised knives to....totally innappropriate to pass your own misfortune on to others.  Just my two cents....and thats about what it is worth most of the time.

I am not bashing...just shaking my head in sadness over these actions because examples like this are what limit others from potentially joining the next one.

Neither of my pm's were rude.  They were actually the polite version.

The only reason I'm sending out another knife to one of Radius' draws is because I feel i am blessed and if/when Radius gets back on his feet I think he will remember this. We are a family here and family takes care of family. At least were I come from. I agree Radius should send on the knives he recieved, but I am not in his situation and they may be all he has left. Just my 2 cents.

okie1

i totaly agree with what you said.
i have been contact with radius on this matter and hope he sands me a name and adress. because i too feel the same way and have been in that situation before.
never asked for help but also never turned it down when it was needed and offered to me. so now i am doing what i can, you know the karma thing.
