Seems that with all the great things we have all received how the senders ever let them go.
I see Tradgangers all have the "Nice to receive but always better to give" syndrome...

Finally got my digital camera to work, so I needed to pull this thread up for a (maybe) final report.

Last week, I got a box from Minnesota. It said "Priority Mail," but evidently Uncle Sam had been holding it in escrow for a while, because when I talked with Chad Holm, it turned out he'd sent it over a week earlier. All I can say is, it was WELL worth waiting for the pony express to come through, and that I may have the privilege of the finest of the gifts exchanged in this great "exercise!"

Chad was kind enough, and generous enough, to send me a knife he'd made with his own talented hands! Here is a picture, though I apologize for the poor focus:

This is such a beautiful and well-crafted piece. I assume the steel is from am old saw blade, and the handle is Zebrawood with a Jay Massey style epoxy finish. The custom sheath is a perfect fit.

I've always been the best of all my friends at sharpening, but I am in awe of the edge Chad put on this knife. It is S-s-s-s-harp, and so nicely proportioned. The season is over now, but I can't wait for the privilege of trying it on a deer next fall.

Chad, thanks for sharing your talent. I hope someday to learn to build something even fractionally as nice. This is a far from a "White Elephant" as one could possibly get, but it will be treasured and appreciated forever!

Thank you, my friend!

JBB from Spring Hill, Kansas. (A couple miles form me, by the way). Sent me a perfect white elephant gift. He knew I had been getting ready to dive into knife making because he had seen my question on the knife forum, so he sent me three different knife making books.

"How to make knives" by Barney and Loveless

"Custom Knifemaking, 10 projects from a Master Craftsman" by McCreight

"$50 Knife Shop" by Wayne Goddard

Only problem now is I will not have any excuses if my knives don't turn out good!

Thanks, Jeff!!!!

The local carp are in trouble cause I received a new Muzzy Stingray fish point, along with a nice sheath knife and a few other things. Kinda funny tho, I had sent out some bowfishing stuff, too.

The white elephant showed up at my door today. I got a really nice set of spliced fletched and crested woodies from Hooked. Thanks Chip.
