Title: Who's who photos
Post by: OconeeDan on March 16, 2010, 05:22:00 PM
It was mentioned in another post that they wanted photos of Tradgangers and their names (attending the Blade Show), but I thought it may be a good idea to have a separate thread on this.
So try to post a good photo of your lovely faces.
I'll start it off.

I think it's a great idea, Dan!
A thread we can keep going, introduce new members, etc and maybe showcase ourselves, who we are and what we do.
Here's one from this last year showing real-world knife testing!

I know that guy behind you, too, I just can't think of his name.
I'm glad you guys are getting these pics posted up.
And I also know that there are a bunch of "hold outs"!
Steve, that is a VERY impressive Performance Knife.
Mine returned to under 20 degrees of straight, but I think yours has mine beat!
Very nice.

Here's a picture of me a few years ago (the dork on the right in the tradgang shirt) and  my friend J.Holt who heat treats my blades for me. I celebrte my 50th birthday in June and plan to climb a 14er.

 I carried a knife that Frank-sticshooter gave me on this trip. It is from his early knife making days. Has special meaning to me.

Steve you got me thinking ,heres my latest bend.
I made a pair of knives getting ready to test before long(for real)  this is the first one.We took it a little extra to make sure the other would pass the test.It cut some rope and about 4 boards  and shaved so we decided to see if it would bend.LOL
The guy watching or comanding is J.S. Ron Duncan he helps me alot!!!!

I talked to Bill a few days ago and I don't think he's gonna make it this year.
Maybe he and I will both be up in 2011.
You had some good back-up there and he's a great guy to spend the day with.
Tons of fun.
