Did someone from the Forum win the Wounded Warrior knife?
Great haul Harry!!!We had to leave the Rendezvous early on Friday and have just now had the time and place to take some more pictures after putting on about 800 miles on the Odometer without getting home yet .
Picked these 3 up on Friday :
A #14 Smooth Autumn Gold , 1 of 8 ///// A Shaplieghs Cattle Knife ??? with MOP Covers , Clip , Sheepfoot , and Punch , and a #12 Toothpick with Stag .
Most of what I got in 1 & 1/2 days
But the Real Star of the show was :
We had a fantastic time and saw a number of our old and new friends in the all too short of a time that we were there . We also missed a few of our friends who , for various reasons , could not make it . I will not attempt to name all of the friends that we did see for fear of missing some of you . I will though mention that it was great to see Charlie and Lyle and their spouses there .
Harry
Ron, thank you for taking that awesome photo of the boys together, and for the very generous gift you gave them!
I don't always get to say this about my sons, but they seemed to behave themselves (for the most part), and got along well with each other the entire time. Josh's boys are tremendous as well, and I was honored to get to see their collections.
I thought for sure that after sitting in line for 2.25 hours yesterday morning the boys would have had enough, but they said they had a lot of fun, and can't wait to do it again next year.

It is not a knife made by GEC . If I remember , I will post some more info on it after I get back home and take some measurements .
The #74 Stallion is so nice.My last two days at the Rendezvous yielded some more bounty to go along with my initial purchases. On Friday I bought a Tidioute #74 Stallion in Natural Smooth White Bone. It was a 1 of 38 “S” model. I also picked up another Northfield #93 Real Rams Foot. This one was an “S” model. It will go in the rotation and the first one will go into the darkness! On Saturday morning it was quite in the store so I was talking to Bill and I decided to pick up a Northfield #74 Mustang in Natural Smooth White Bone. It was a 1 of 10 “S” model. Bill was surprised that they didn’t sale better and after looking them over I was surprised too! While at the picnic I was talking to a friend who gave me a tip about some SFO’s that he had stumbled on in the area. On the way out of town I was able to buy two Tidioute #65 Ben Hogan’s. These were an SFO for the Drake Oil Well Museum. They were 49 made in 2015 covered with Oil Sucker Rod Wood.
Thanks John! They really are a great knife!The #74 Stallion is so nice.
Impressive haul.
It was great to meet you Caleb. You got some great knives there young man. Some real beauties! I hope you can make it back next year!Well That was a fun trip!
This was my first time meeting forum members and wow, what a great group of people. I met Harry, Ron, and Logan early on Thursday morning and the fun kept rolling from there. I can easily see this becoming a trip I make every year. Thanks for all the laughs and smiles I got to share with all the people I met this past weekend

Oh, and I found some Yuengling beer. Maybe even too much of it
Another one in the book. As always, a "Great" event. Cannot wait till next year...15th Anniversary.
