Post by: sticshooter on April 06, 2007, 09:06:00 PM
Ok most on here know I love to make stuff. Well been making CheatR knives for awhile. Well got me a big ole saw mill blade and started making knives from it. Most also know I like to name the stuff I make LOL. Thus here they are Resurrected Blades. These are my first ones.I really gotta thank Jeremy, Highpockets and Tippit and a few more for all there help. I got a longway to go to get anywheres near as good as them a many others but Ya gotta start somewhere.Next to trad archery knives are great.Thanks<><   (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN1758.jpg) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v83/fishrofmen1/DSCN1785.jpg)

Since I can't Pm this to you Frank I have to ask. Did you do this on purpose? Resurection Knives, you made three(a trinity) and it's Easter weekend. I'd name them from top to bottom, Father, Son and Spirit. Too much coincidence for me.

He really needs to stop asking my opinions 'cause I end up swiping them when he's not looking  :D

Out of all the knives I've seen you post Frank, I'd have to say that middle one is the purtiest. The blade and handle seem to balance just right in the pic. You must have been able to make you a file guide by the looks of it!!  :thumbsup:

Wow, superb work!

 :clapper:    :clapper:  

Carbon steel knives have much more feel than stainless!
What is the handle material on the smaller skinner? Mastodont ivory?

Well done Frank!

Here's a few more I took with a closer view of that beautiful sunburst orange swirl & detailed grain. But in no way close to Tippit's background...

I was impressed when Frank brought this one in, it has such a nice balance to it as Kenny said and beautiful lines.
I usually don't post for him but I had to add these pics and comments. I'm his biggest fan!    :D

No file guide Kenny. I wish I had one. Guys the pics really make the knives look better then they are. Like I said a long way to go. Not trying to make a blade that shines like a new penny. I like the ones like tippit makes that look kinda like they are from the 1800s ya know? Manny thats just plain ole antler. I like trying to make it look like something other then antler. Shell loves almost ever knife I make( she has to she's my wife!) I know cuz she snags them and hides them on me.Thanks guys.<><

Frank, I'm right there with ya man. I really like blades that are made to look like they are from the later days. Don't sell your self short.
Those blades came out nice! I've been lookin every time you throw on a handfull up for sale on the classifieds. I just haven't seen one that jumps out at me since the one I pm'ed ya about but was already sold. I'll get me one yet. Nice work as always.

Frank, Great stuff as always brother! One of these days i'm a-gonna have me one of your little gems. Love that Osage partner. You are way too modest my friend when it comes to your work! I've been watching the natural progression of your knives and you will be right up there with the rest of the knife makers on here that yo are always giving props to in no time. Really been enjoying the evolution of your knife making skills. Keep it up bro!!  :thumbsup:  

PS...Besides....., being so modest about your craft is a real slap in the face to people like me who can barely tie their own shoes!  :notworthy:

Post by: ber643 on April 08, 2007, 10:38:00 AM
Nope, Frank. Better put a tracer on it. Dad-burn them anyway. Second time in a few months. Last time it came from Canada (A box of Dinos from Harl) and was sitting in our PO. They tried to deliver it once and we weren't home. They took it back to the PO and then never told me it was there, nor called me when I didn't go after it, or send it back to the sender either, when the trace caught up to it. Course that was around Christmas time, to be fair - part-time help, overload, and all. I'm gonna be some unhappy if they've gone and lost my "Special Knife" for good.

(I think they have me on that, "Postal Pay Back The Troublemakers," list. That's for anyone who gets six or more packages  a year -   ;)  )

Frank...you make people mad?  :confused:  
I haven't forgotten you, just looking for that old meat cleaver I found in the woods ten years ago...

Did you put a delivery confirmation on your parcel? It is pretty cheap, and lets you see online or by calling the post office whether it has been delivered.

Bernie, at the first attempt, if they could not leave it for some reason, there should have been a salmon-colored form left notifying you of it. Then, they send another notifying you of how long you have before they send the parcel back. If this is not being done, then call the PO or go in Monday morning. Without a delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, or other tracking numbers, it is difficult to find out where the parcel went. Likely, it is sitting on an APC at the post office, though.

Killie, I didn't add in - they left the card, but the next AM as I started out the door to go to the PO the "package truck" drove into the driveway with two packages for me. I handed the old guy the slip and said, "Is one of these from this?". He told me it was, so i imediatly cancelled my trip to the PO. That is where the confusion and ball dropping occurred. It was just an accident by a part-timer but should have been handled better. That isn't the case with this one though, as I haven't received any such slip - as yet. Maybe it will come tomorrow. Thanks for the input though.
