My Bowie from Runewolf1973

[Darcy Quapp]

EVERY time I purchase something from one of the talented artisans here and elsewhere I want to tell them they aren’t charging enough. But I know that they know that. They have their reasons for charging what they do, and I respect that. I just want them to know that if they feel like they need to quit so they can earn a living elsewhere, and they still love doing their art, raise their prices first. They’ll loose some business but make up that money with the clients who will pay the higher price, and have more time to play or do even more art.

For some of us makers it’s not about the money …. Some of us feel we are the custodians of keeping a part of history alive …. A part we can create ….. and make new history is the spirit of the originals ….. that is the important part for many of us makers ….. the money will take care of its self ….. so I sees it !

@Runewolf1973 told me it would look even better in person, and it does.

On the outside of the shipping box was written "Contains Cutlery". When I opened the box, as my chin was dropping to the floor, I heard myself blurt out "why yes it does". Now that's a knife. [and that's a 16" laptop] I'm pretty sure I said before I wasn't into knives- not sure that's accurate any more.

Beautiful. What pistol is that if you don’t mind me asking? A double flint! Pretty sweet

All set to go to town now, very nice knife, and the pistol is outstanding.

I've shot both of them now. Great spark. Using French flints of course. Fun to imagine the stories they could tell.

to use kind of a silly comparison, many guy's will pour 600 dollars down the urinal 12 oz at a time. that knife will be around for generations.
art work is priceless!

I'm a newbie and would like to send @Runewolf1973 a note about the purchase of a neck knife. How do I do it? Thanks

You go to your own post, and "hover" your cursor over @Runewolf1973 . This will reveal a box that has a little information about him. In the lower right corner of that box, you'll see a small, orange box that says "Start Conversation." Click that, and it will take you directly to the Private Message application. Fill it out just like you are posting something on the forum, except only you and Runewolf will be in on the conversation.

When he responds, you will see a little red dot on that "envelope" up in the upper right corner of your computer screen. Click that, and it will take you to his message.

Good luck! I am a computer ignoramus, and had to figure all of this out by trial and error. If I can do it, you should have no trouble.

Runewolf is a good man. If you order a knife, I think you will be very happy with it.
