TalkBlade.Info Knife Forums

Back in 2007 - 2008 we did an unofficial TalkBlade forum knife that was a ProTech Godfather with real horn handles; the "Godfather for stiletto collectors". A year or two later at Atlanta BLADE I met and introduced myself to Dave W., the owner of ProTech. Dave told me that the ProTech crew had not w...

Jerry - never mind the hour or the drugs consumed - that was an excellent post.

Bill - and they probably did. I imagine the scrap rate while working horn into scales is rather high?

Jerry - regarding your comment: "Reminds me of the old Gahan Wilson comics in old Playboy magazines". Gahan Wilson spoke at the University of Maryland in the early '70's when I was a student there.

Up until the pandemic, I was staffed and doing the weekly flights to and from the Boston area for several years. I learned that there, St. Patricks Day is not celebrated for a day, but for about 2 weeks!
