Knothead [Ron] brought us a truck load of rock down to the cabin a couple of weeks ago in preparing for the Classic,so you guys would have something to break,well Sat. Jesse came down,he is a new guy that has just got stationed at Ft. Campbell and looked us up.Nice guy.He was there Sat and I ask him to check out the rock Ron had got and see if it was any good and if possible knock him out a point since it came from his farm,I thought it would be cool for him to have ,so this is what he came up with and man it didn't take him long either. :)

Cool, Ron! Yeah! Thanks very much. Now I will have something to put on some shafts at the classic. Hope someone brings some to sell since I will not be bringing any tackle with me and making everything there. This should be fun! ;D

Just in case yall didn't know...Jesse's sign-on is "Leapingbare". No I didn't spell it wrong...I think there's a story behind the "bare" portion of his sign-on. Yall will have to get him to tell it during the Classic... ;D
-
That is a fine lookin blade Jesse, hope you are at the classic - maybe you could show me a thing or two :).
-
He might cowboy but he has already told me he can't wait to meet you and get some pointers.
He is very impressed with your work as am I. :)

Ron your very welcome for the knife! The rock is nice stuff, i have heard it called buffalo river chert, a trick when your son go's out to gather it get him to take a hammer stone and tap the large Pisces to check if there solid that will cut down on wast and make the load more worth while.
Cowboy i dought i can teach you anything you dont know, looking forward to getting bloody fingers with ya ;)
-
Nice blade Jesse, I'm looking forward to gettin' cut with all ya'll. I need some pointers from you percussion boppers for sure.
-
Hmm! Is this what they call blood ties? ;D
-

Ron
