Will SYK be at Knob Creek along with the other Wauseon offerings?

Who is coming from this forum? Roll call!

Stacey - I will be there in thought ! Tom

Where can I find out information on Knob Creek? My wife has family in Ten. I can use this as an excuse for us/ her to see them while I continue north!......any undergroung railroad lines still active?

What weekend is it. It is 513 miles from my house and only 175 from her families!...may be possible......

Oct. 13, 14, 15

Well Andy, you seem to be a cornucopia of infomation....what days will the Holy Triad be there?

All of them I think. They're usually there all 3 days as far as I know. But plan to be there early if you want first choice. They go quick!

I hear that a lot for some reason... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

O the wheels in my head go round and round, round and round....This just may work..Thanks Andy...now get crackin on some more of those DT sheaths!!!

Good luck! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I know, I know. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy is a great source of good information, and I appreciate his postings. Now, if we could only get him to switch from cardboard to leather for his sheaths......

It would be alot easier to repair a cardboard sheath than a leather one.....and besides, I am a [email]cheap@$$[/email], 60bucks for a leather sheath when the knife cost me 90.....not very good economics. DO IT ANDY...open a sweatshop of 3rd world kids and mass produce these thnigs...outsource to india or somewhere like that!

Jason - I hope you make it to Knob Creek, it should be a good time!

I proposed the idea to my wife that we visit her family in Millington, Ten......she was onto my ruse immediately!!! She knew knives and guns were somewhere nearby! But the good new is she is actually considering it......I planted the seed of hope and now I will water it and watch it grow until Oct, then it is HARVEST TIME!!!!!!! Now I have to make some clandestine cash to be spent!

Way to go GF! Now THAT is preparedness! Tom

Thanks...I try!

Yeah, it's easy to patch when it eventually gets worn, and it's a great source of emergency duct tape in the woods. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Plus, under all those layers of duct tape you have water resistant cardboard for an emergency tinder source. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I've still not tried anything with leather yet. I have a Shaker sheath made from a recycled black leather belt in the works. I have the pieces all cut out, I just have to learn how to stitch and I'll get it together. Of course you guys will see it when its done.

When/if I successfully make a decent leather one, I might try making some out of leather to sell. I've been watching for cheap sources of leather to recycle at Goodwill etc. to keep the production price down.

Right now I have a couple thick, wide, black leather belts that I was going to eventually make Shaker sheaths out of, and one large weighlifting belt that I got for $3.

Bein' a cheap @$$ is what got me started making them. My first knife was my RatMastiff, but I couldn't afford $60+ for a leather sheath. And even if I could, it would take months to receive after ordering, and I'd have nothing to carry it in in the mean time. So I got creative. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ya know, I was thinkin' the same thing recently...anybody know the number of a good sweatshop? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I don't know about a sweatshop, but my apt without AC is a sweatbox!!! It is so damned hot in here I am seeing a vision of my spirit guide "Bitting Dog" he is telling me I should go on a might quest to knob creek and that I should call the repairman!!!

GF - You had better not mess with the spirits - go to the Knob Creek shoot.

It would be more like the Knob creek knife buy...4 years in the Military, 1 tour to Iraq...automatic machine guns don't really get me as excited as they used to....but a chance for a new knife....BROTHER COUNT ME IN!!!!!

I guess you're right - they wouldn't let you buy a machine-gun and take it home, but you COULD buy a new knife.

However, I carried an M-60 in VietNam - Rock & Roll brother!

Thanks for paving the way for all us little dogs to follow in your footsteps!

Thank you GF. I was just one of many thousands doing the same thing for our great country.

The Knob Creek shoot sure would be fun!

Yeah, it would be great to get my hands on a M2 again!though this time the targets aren't moving!

The M2 is truly an awesome weapon, and great fun to shoot. I only got to shoot one a few times when we pulled bridge security duty, but I really enjoyed it. I hope that everyone who goes to Knob Creek gets to try it if they are interested.

It feels better when good ole uncle Sam pays 1.50-3.00 a round rather than you!.....Ahhh the good old days when we would tear through 3000 rounds of the stuff a night!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> All that "practice" should have produced some pretty good Gunners! And yes, Uncle Sam can better afford the ammo.

Incidentally, thanks for your service as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Rootin tootin...I was top gunner in my battalion. that why i got out early..I was gunning when a roadside took me down....my crew was nice and safe in the hummer.

GF - I'm glad you're still around - thanks again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I am glad to be around also.....it almost made me a eunuch!

GF - Man oh man- that's a dangerous thing to post with Andy around! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Now, we all want to hear about your ganza prizes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

you mean $1800 gets you more than that???!!

I don't even know what if anything I got...really. As soon as I know, you will know.....well after the fellow I requested a few for knows......but you all will be 3rd in line!

More than what?

I hope Andy doesn't have pictures of gentlemen in that predicament!

Nope, I don't believe so.

Check again.....you have to!

Unfortunatly, I don't have everything...just almost. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - I guess you will have to work on that. We all have faith in you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Tom

The only blade I got was the Howler.......

you know, that thing you got, that nuclear interstellar ICBM or whatever that scary fanged instrument of destruction is called...

Well GF - that's one more knife than you had before! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I traded my Howler for one of my Camp Tramps, and practiced my sharpening on the dull edge which prompted the previous owner's selling. An excellent chopper for a 7" bladed knife, but certainly not the same as one of my BattleRats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I like the way you say "one of my CTs" Yeah I just may end up at knob creek just for a chance at those Swamp Muds!

GF - I forgot to mention that I believe in "better late than never" - WELCOME HOME BROTHER ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Oh, thanks Tom! I tell you it is good to be home...I would rather be in Texas though......

Well, sounds like a road trip is in order. Maybe you should take April on a birthday trip to the wonderful vacation destination - Spring, Texas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Spring is on the way to Ft. Hood.....sounds like a plan!

In response to orig. thread...I'll be at Knob Creek. Never been. Must have more INFI!

I will be sporting my Busse shirt! The wife has given the greenlight!

Very cool!! I wish I could go, but considering the dough I just spent at Blade West, I couldn't afford a Shaker! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Take pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

pics.....I gonna take knives!......

i'm intensely jealous -- you dirty doggs have fun without me, but i do expect pics...

Alright GF! I hope you have a great time at the shoot. Now, don't forget to remind us Sunday evening that Monday is April's birthday - we will try to get you in REALLY good with her! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Trash Can....can you spread some secrets and let us know if Scrap Yard will be in attendence at Knob Creek?
