Me!


Heh-heh... yeah pretty lame intro. I'm new to Trad Gang and thought I'd drop a post in familiar territory, being a bladesmith. I recognize a few names from some of the knife making forums.

I recently got back into shooting after a 15yr+ hiatus from the art. I'm back with a vengeance and shooting almost every day. See you around the forums!

Rick! Nice to see you here brother.
Some good folks here.
Should be easy for you to fit right in.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
Chief Joseph

Hi Rick , I believe I know your Dad Bob from the TBBC . I recall you and your Mom in a canoe on two inner tubes at a TBBC Roundevous and in spite of the weight differences trying to exchange positions . Your Mom ended up on the ground screaming " no matter your my Son  I`m gonna kill ya !!!!!! LOL
  Being a Bladesmith there is an excellent Knife thread on the Huntingbc.ca. You have to registar but it is worth the effort . Search for The Gift - Knife .
  Cheers Ken Davidson

Not the same Rick, Ken. That story sounds pretty funny, though.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. Looking forward to contributing... for now, I'm just leeching off the collective like an infectious parasite.
