No Sir, I've browsed over there but never joined, it looks to be a great site though. I have a hard time keeping up with the couple forums I'm on now! I really need to get my forge fired back up, I miss it!
TFTR...I find your being in the "Zone" very helpful. I will view your post much differently in future. Always liked what you post but now I see you as being in the know.
Cubby reccomended I speak with you. I am in Portage, IN. I bought a Damascus Blade from a clacksmith in RUssia, last year. It has Wodz steel on one side and Ballat on the other. I had asked Cubby if he would put a Border Patrol style Ironwood or Micarta handle on it and due to the tang profile suggested you. If I sent you a photo on Email would you look at it and give me an opinion? I plan to carry this knife all over the globe for the next 30 years, so I am looking for rugged and comfortable in a handle.
