Old-timers???

Post by PhillyDog »

About 8 years ago, I was a member of the Switchblade Forum that was run on SKM's Website. Mickey was the moderator (is that you, Arthas?). I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to some of the old-time forum members whose usernames were Blade, Merlin, Hermit and Louisianna Yarddog? Both Merlin and Hermit produced some beautifully customized switches. Thanks for any info.

Hermit still checks in at the Switchblade forum http://login.prospero.com/dir-login/ind ... FlgnJR%3D1 and I think he also has a web site.

Merlin has been fairly active on sharperdeal.com lately, and has a web site.

I'm not familiar with the other names you mentioned, but I'm sure some of the other guys may have info.

Hi PhillyDog,

It was about 8 years ago when I found the forum you are referring to.

Mickey is Arthas

Louisiana Yarddog disappeared after causing much controversy

Blade disappeared

Some other names you might remember:

Bill DeShivs, Ragtimered, Vagrant, JerrBear, Gort, Veech, autoknife, komodo,Wally J Corpse, crmnal, Switch67, Bangie, Switchblade9, PantherTrac (now The Falcon) are still here.

Welcome back

Jim & Whippersnapper:

Thanks for the info. I thought that I recognized Arthas as Mickey from a pic of him at the old SKM Forum. I think his mom also worked at SKM. As I recall, Blade left the old Forum due to numerous conflicts with Louisiana Yarddog. LYD was quite a character. He and I got along very well. However, some days he was just fine and other days he was, oh well... There was another old Forum member, Black Widow, who wreaked a lot of havoc on the site.

Glad to hear that Merlin and Hermit are still around and still in business.
