TN Classic--New Era for Tippit (maybe)
« on: April 22, 2011, 10:14:00 AM »
In a week I'll be camping with Whip in his pyramid tent breathing in that fresh TN air and getting to meet some of my Southern Trad Gang brothers & sisters   :knothead:  mainly cause I've come to personal cross roads.  I've been stead fast in Not selling any of my knives but I've recently been feeling the tug of taking my bladesmithing to a higher level by pursuing that elusive ABS stamp.  So I've Almost decided to start selling a few blades to help with that quest.

I'll be taking this sampling for up close & personal opinions.  I won't be selling anything yet just looking for guidance...tippit

Doc, I have one of your early knives - it is one I have with me on every hunt to this day.   When you are ready to sell, I will be in line to buy.  You do great work.

Doc, you know I love all your knives.
When (If) you do decide to sell a few, let me know how much you want for the knife fourth from the left in that pic (The first Keeslar style)

I'm looking forward to getting up close & personal with all of those!

Got to see a bunch of these up close last week and they were all top-notch! Good luck, but I`m sure u wont need it. Couldnt find one in the bunch that I wasnt very impressed with.                            Nathan

Jeff, you will knock their eyes out with that selection.
When you're ready to jump on that "JS" train, my door will always be open if I can be of any help.

I have a suspicion you will have orders coming out your ears.  Good luck with your goal Doc!

Robin,  
I wish I hadn't gotten those knives to you so soon...as my Keeslar style is much improved in the last month with the tricks Joe just showed me at Haywood.  Dang I knew I was rushing it  :knothead:

WoW! those are outstanding!

Very nice line up!

I find it difficult deciding a fair price on my own work!

No matter I'm sure they will sell quickly!

Dang Doc,

I have followed your postings for years and have always known you have wonderful talent. You have improved your artisnship so much over the years, from the first knife you ever posted your knives had an appeal and I am sure you will achieve your goals. I would buy #20 right now if you were to sell it. Just beautiful.

Doc, I've been hanging out with you at Denton for the past 4 or 5 years now. Each year you bring your collection of sharps with you. I'm always amazed with each new creation. I keep thinking they're as good as they can get, then the next one is even better. You won't have any trouble getting what you ask for any of your blades.
Good luck with your quest!

Track,
Only missed one Denton Hill when my niece got married.  Tried to convince her it was an Un-lucky day to tie the knot...didn't work.  Short answer Yes!

Doc,

I'm standing in the buyers line with the rest of the guys.  Looks like you are almost out of stock.  Better get back in the shop!

Count me in the line of those waiting to place an order.  That 10th from the right is exactly what I'm looking for.

Craig,  
You probably Don't want that one as it is a very small neck knife.  Here's the one you want and it is For Sale!  St Jude's 2011 knife & sheath  ;)
