Mr. Harsey, does this person actually exist, or is he an imaginary drinking buddy of yours?

Hi guys,
Sorry it took me so long to get here. I was a Cav Scout and STUMP and get lost easily. Thanks for the welcome.

Bill,
Thanks for the invite. Hope I can help you in talking knives.

Glad you made it over Kit,
I need all the help I can get talking knives around here.

Now I have to go see if any of my drinking buddies are imaginary.

I recommend that you see George Thorogood about that, a little ditty called "I Drink Alone".

Speaking of drinking alone, I just bought the Elijah Craig. Will report after I sample it.

Welcome, Kit Carson.

It is nice to know that you are not one of Bill's imaginary friends.

Welcome to the board.
I believe I just missed meeting you a number of years ago a guy I used to know purchased a couple of knives from you and I think you delivered them to him in Indiana. Would have been about 10 years or so ago.

...."to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested"...R.I.P. HST

If volunteers are needed for the science of whiskey tasting; I would like it known that I am a scientist.

A recent thread about dive knives reminds me that it was a Dive knife designed by Kit and manufactured by a company in San Diego that introduced me to his work, and some stunning work it is.

Floyd, Sounds like B.B.


Ah, Mumbleypeg, the U2. Man, I got tired of making those things I'm working on a fancy one with stainless ladder damascus and ivory for a Navy EOD bud of mine. I'll post a picture when it's done.


Terry, I Am one of Bill's imaginary friends

Yes that would be the gentleman's initials.
A friend of mine from a former reserve unit was there and I do believe you met him, his first name is Emil.
Been much too long since I have seen those guys I will definately have to make a trip that way soon.
