Railroad spike Bowie...now with pics(finally)
« on: March 06, 2007, 10:06:00 PM »
I just recieved a beautiful custom knife that I purchased from hunter83 at out classifieds section. I'm here to say that Chris is a HECK of a good guy, and this piece of steel will serve me very well for years to come. I took some pictures of it, but because I shoot film, it will be a few before I can post pics of it. All I can say is that I won't do business with anyone but gangers anymore if I can avoid it.

 Thanx Chris!

I have a couple railroad spikes from Kennecott Mine in AK. We picked them up when we visited the mine. The mine shut down something like 80 years ago but the railroad was built around 100 years ago. I had a knife and a hatchet head made from two of them. Very cool history. Can't wait to see your knife.

Snailskin, could you please post pictures of the hatchet. I saw a picture of one a long time ago and it was a really nice looking hatchet I would like to see one again.  Thank you. Brokenwing
