pocket knives

[fishin3]

I know I am young (35 yrs old) by alot of your standards, but I have carried a knife since I was old enough to be given one by my Dad. Alot of guys my age don't carry one or carry one of the clip on style just for that reason. Most of them don't even know how to sharpen them or take care of them. Just my complaint with someone carring something they don't know how to take care of or use. My knife of choice depend on the situation, mostly carry a CRKT, or a Uncle Henry.

Those are some nice knives he makes. I like blacksmithing for that reason but have not got to do much of it in a couple of years. Never used a gas forge the ol' guy that let me come over and try used a coal forge. Dad is suppose to be building a blacksmith shop up behind his house( maybe one day when he stays home long enough to do it)

Papasage I don't know if he would be intersted in having them, I have been a farrier for almost 30 yrs and periodicly over the years knife makers have approached me about getting my old horseshoeing rasps when they are worn out. I want to say that the knives they made were more of the ornate/replicas, etc....type rather than high carbon keep an edge type.
I had guys offer to buy em but always just gave em to them. I use Save-Edge rasps which are about the best rasp made. I would imagine a search would maybe get you some info to find out about the properties of the metals in them.
Just an offer, since moving here from TX 4 yrs ago I have had no call for the culls would be glad to save em up and he can have them for the shipping if he wants.
