Another TG'er in Bend, Oregon sent 6 Ace 160 2-blades. Don't even know his name. These BH's grace my heavier ramin shafts for my heaviest wood arrow yet. Maybe pix later.

Good folks

Heres some pics of my son with his birthday package...

Post by: Larry Surtees on March 07, 2011, 09:58:00 PM: The memorial contributions and gifts sent after my son's passing. The list is so long (some have already posted on this thread). It is overwhelming that so many go out of there way and very few have ever met. I am proud to be a member of this wonderful site!!!!

Post by: Jim Jackson on March 13, 2011, 09:33:00 PM: I put a post up on the knife forum about a old service knife from the 40's that I was interested in restoring. Someone had riveted the butt-cap in place using the knife as a hammer and I was having trouble getting it apart. Sam Koger (goes by Koger) offered to work on it for free. I had to fight him to allow me to pay for shipping. The knife is having a sheath made right now, and I will post pics when its all finished. Wonderful people here on tradgang and Sam certainly is a great example of the generosity on this site.
