Came out of my cave

Post by Shawnee_B »

A good many of you know me, of me, Hermit River here. Sorry been out of the forums loop for the most part of the last 20 years. David aka blade started TSF, I took over and hosted it for years, turned over to TYDY. I still made knives, had an FFL 07 with a SOT class 2. Now that class 2 was fun I tell you and
I stayed busy. Anyway I'm back semi full time knifemaking as much as I can. I made a few for Walt, some on spec, bone mikov, Laguiole, couple Bills original leverlettos, working one in stabilized Nordic, or Masur birch. Of course puukkos! My favorite. If I can find a decent photo hosting service I'll post pics of course. Open to suggestions, I have used Photo bucket and Imgur, seems if your not a regular user and try to go to your files, pics, it's gone! I used to ftp up to my website, also not updated in 20 years, kinda forgot how, e mail bad addy, need new knives and updates! Pics there are old, taken with an early Sony Mavica which used floppy discs! Gifted to me by those awesome graphic artists, Black Widow (RIP) and Queen of Texas. Old site is www.hermitriver.com for viewing, gallery of thumbs at the bottom. See you all around. Hermit

Hey brother, get better soon, you got knives to build! Thanks, I'll try and behave. I thought there may be a direct posting method, that's awesome. I'm working one of your original leverlettos, no tang stamp. Came out the hole for a cup of tea. Hermit

Thanks!
For those that don't know him, Hermit is one of the original "manglers" along with guys like Merlin, Slo Joe, Burn, me and a few of the other guy that were involved in modding/making switchblades in the 1990s!
