I heard the place was crawling with Marines, so thought I would stop by and check it out...
I've learned a lot about Other knives here...I thought Case was all there was....
And I thought Great Eastern was just a shopping center in Toledo...
Anyway, hope you can all tolerate me, I will try to behave...

Hello rayban;
Thank you for the tip on leather sheaths.
I have the feeling you will be adding a PLUSE to AAPK....

Hey Rick whats up
You got these guys fooled to I see
Rick does great work guys

LC, I'm not surprised you can't get that stuff off that '75, I can't get it off my boots either!!
Why didn't you tell me about this site sooner?? Did you know forensicjim lives in Dundee?? Wish we would have known that when you were in town, I'm sure he would have been just happy to buy us dinner!!
Sounds like there's enough members here in SE Michigan to start a serious posse.
Beer for all my men!!!
P.S. I miss that '75..but I know it has a good home

YUP PERS now that sounds grate.
Let me know when and where I will try to show up with a YELLOW knife in my pocket....

Beer? Knives?
Where do I sign?
Bring that YELLOW knife justold. Just don't order any yellow beer. Something with a rich AMBER color would be much more enjoyable

I hope to meet at least some of you guys at the Spring Wolverine knife club show. Buy your AAPK emblazoned cap now and wear it so we can recognize one another and spread the word about Bryan's great forum here.
Phil
by the way, Rick has recieved my Case Desert Prince and the creative synops in his brain are firing away. When I get it back in a few weeks (good sheathmakers and craftsmen always have a backlog) I'll show off what will for certain be a great piece of carrying leather for the only American production made Persian fighter.

I'm "researching" now as a matter of fact...Am I on the right track Phil??
I have to order me one of those hats, pretty cool.
I spent a better part of Sat. at that show last year, this time I may rent a table just so I can have a chair to take a break on now and then...
Show

Rick or anyone else attending Parkers Knife show. I will have a couple of tables so if you want a place to sit and take a breather and show what you bought drop by and say Hi. Are those hats still available in camo? If they are I want one.

Forensic Jim I do believe YOU should get at lest one of each.
Start selling them with your knives...OR you could give them away too...
That has a nice ring to it "FREE AAPK hat with purchase of a NOTHWOODS." I think I here both cash registers ringing...
