I second JW, we were comparing our knives we got at the Classic. I sure wish I new a certain Tomahawk could have been had before it was traded. :'(

Post by: JW_Halverson on May 22, 2013, 03:40:02 pm: Same here, Eddie. Having a hawk to go with the knife that goes with my gun would be an awfully satisfying acquisition.

Post by: PEARL DRUMS on August 05, 2013, 02:32:02 pm: Thanks to my great friend Kevin, my son and I both have one of these to hang around our necks. He also gave us each a fire kit he put together with a forged striker, chunk of flint, char clothe and some jute/hemp rope. Kevin I cherish all the edges you have given us, your a good man my friend. Hope the gift Jake gave you can be put to good use.
